J. R. Todd knew his quick lap on Friday night at Infineon Raceway might be
challenged
during Saturday's two rounds of qualifying. Truth be told he was
confident those challenges would fall short. Confident enough to use
his two Saturday runs to find out what not to do on Sunday.
“We were working on our race day setup,” said Todd. “Trying some things to see what would work and what wouldn't work. Not going down the track today we know what will not work. I think first round (tomorrow) we'll see conditions that will be better than what we saw today.”
Todd is really pleased that his BACA Racing, MACH 1 sponsored mount has run so well and believes the NHRA mandated testing banned has helped.

“It helps a lower buck team to make it a more level playing ground. The guys who like to test a lot, now they are all on the same playing field.”
The goal now is to make rounds, without all the pressure of having to worry about the Countdown to One.
“Coming into this deal I knew there was no pressure for me. I just want to go out there, have a good showing, look respectable and go some rounds to get some publicity to help me with some deals I am working on to finish out the year and look forward to 2010.”
Todd will meet Steve Chrisman in the first round, an opponent his isn't looking past.
“Being number one I am expecting to get a round on Sunday. But, you can't take him lightly. He made a great weekend in Seattle first round. We have to go A to B and not worry about Chrisman. Just, go out there and do our own thing and take them as they come.”
