The five Northern Light Series teams testing at Richmond International Raceway have found the track's .75-mile D-shape extremely challenging. At the afternoon break, Buddy Lazier has set the fastest time at 16.9961seconds (158.88 mph).
Randy Tolsma currently holds the track record at 131.374 mph in a USAC Silver Bullet car.
"It's so much different than any other place else we run that it's challenging," said Buzz Calkins, who tested here earlier this month. "We've made a lot of changes that we haven't done at other tracks. And we've done some things that are unconventional as far as setups are concerned." <pre> Times at Afternoon Break
