Ryan will be starting P21, right beside his teammate in the 3 car. So he has plenty of room to improve today. Lets see if they got their battery problem fixed & can Ryan avoid the bad luck bug for the 1st time this year.
Ryan will be using his 3900 on pitroad today.

lap 2 p20 lap 4 p19 lap 5 5.9 behind lap 7 ryan starting to move off the bottom, says up to 9.9 still tight lap 10 p18 9.1 back (goes by the 11) lap 12 p17 (go by the 19) 10.2 back spotter to luke - looks like he can move around for momentum to get around cars.... Luke - does it look like he can get around better than yesterday ....spotter - yes yellow lap 17 for 83. ryan wants a lil bit of wedge out of left rear. Luke to do a 1/4 round out 12.8 stop came out in p17 ryan put trackbar back down to 9.3 to start, ryan says thinks it will make him a tic tight but will keep him from jumping sideways. restart to happen on lap 24

lap 25 p16, now p15 lap 27 p16 the 77 gets back by ryan lap 30 5.5 behind 10.9 tighter this run lap 35 p16 8.3 back 11.4 on track bar now ryan on lowside the 88 trying to make the high side work behind him. lap 39 p17 the 88 goes by on high side 10.6 back 88 is making the high side work well for himself. ryan catches the 14 now trying a higher line behind the 14 lap43 goes by the 14 p16 12.9 back. Used momentum from the highside to go under him on the front stretch lap 45 13.4 back luke & spotter talking of the 88 & ryan making good time since they moved up back down to 10.4 to help the entry - ryan 88 already went by the 5 & ryan is catching him.

Lap 51 15.1 back 5 car using highside as well ryan trying low line again since the 5 is up high. not working for him though fairly neutral, little bit loose in little bit tight .....(didn't hear whether center or off) lap 60 p16, 16.6 behind track bar back to 11.0 ryan pretty much all by himself, not near to pass or be passed for position. tight center loose off. lap 65 17.0 behind front end feels kinda flat & rigid yellow lap 68 for 4 car ryan pitting p15 Ryan 13.1 stop came out p14, will be 1st time he starts on high side. he had gained each time on the inside, so he might lose spots here. 22 car stayed out so if he takes the inside lane this could be an interesting restart. gonna restart 10.1 (trackbar) 22 takes the outside, the 1 car took 2 tires going green lap 74

ryan - its tight but the balance was better, I was at 10.3 (on 5 laps) 22 went from 1st to p19 in 5 laps of old tires Ryan stays out after the segment, he is now p6. looks like the 1st one with fresh tires (assuming 2 tires) is the 18 in p12 gonna restart lap 87

tire rubbing the tire coming apart. He says the track bar is loose. Ryan getting a little bit angry saying he already gave him the the God Dam Answer Ryan still on lead lap but has to come back in Ryan says the tire still rubbing so be ready to put another set of rights back on it! they put 5 rounds in & now calling for another 5 rounds, ryan says the track bar is loose there is something wrong bud......... Luke we are getting a plan together to fix that we will have to do it in steps. the bad luck bug bites ryan again. bad luck is batting a 1000 this season on Ryan probably gonna put three more rounds in it Ryan - still feels way pumped up but didn't feel a rub that time 3 rounds in, gonna change the lefts ,maybe the rights if there is a rub ryan will restart p22 with 9 to go ryan go through the middle of slower cars lap 259 ryan is p21 now lap 260 p20, p19 lap 263 p18 lap 267 ryan not sure if he finished p18 or p17 (depends on how they score the 18) to bad too, before his car went to crap he was in the top ten for most the race again. Ryan mentioned something about the 3 having same problem as well See Logano is making more friends after the races.
