Pit Pass Network Predictions: Martinsville & Long Beach

As the NASCAR circuit heads to the final short track of the Spring season, IndyCar heads out west to Long Beach. For the third time this season, IndyCar and NASCAR share a weekend. All three NASCAR series will be short track racing at Martinsville while IndyCar goes back to a street circuit for road course racing. While nothing has changed for the Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series, the NASCAR Cup Series will be using the new aero package at Martinsville. How will this impact the drivers and the racing? Did that lead to any alterations to the Pit Pass Network crew’s predictions?

Shout out to the following Pit Pass Network members for their correct predictions last week:
