</pre> Crown Royal IROC Driver Max Papis Quote "It feels like two completely different race tracks going from an Indy Car to a stock car here in Texas. The biggest learning curve for the open wheel guys is learning to close the distance between cars. When you're running with the open wheel guys they don't get quite as close as the IROC test drivers with their NASCAR experience, they're right on your bumper, which makes the car feel different. So, still a lot to learn and it's going to be a very different track than Daytona. I feel patience is going to pay off, but you also have to be aggressive, so it's also going to be about striking a balance between the two."
IROC is auto racing's All-Star Game. It is an invitational auto racing series that matches 12 drivers from different disciplines of auto racing in equally prepared cars. The Series consists of four 100-mile races with points awarded for finishing positions. At the end of the fourth race, points are tallied and a champion of champions is named.
