We’re about six and a half hours from go-time here at Richmond, and activity in the garages is fairly limited. Team 3G, Coyne, KV, HVM, Foyt, and Newman-Haas are hard at work, while the rest of the teams have yet to remove the tarps from their garages.  The Panther car is also in the garage, but the crew tinkering on it. 

KV probably had a long night after Mario Moraes stuck it into the wall, bringing a premature end to last night’s 30 minute night practice.  The damage was to the rear, and the car is still not reassembled, with the right rear suspension and Honda engine still not attached.

Newman Haas looked hard at work on both cars, even though Graham’s car was fifth in both qualifying and last night’s practice.  Doornbos’ car is carrying the McDonalds arches as well this weekend, but not the Arctic Ice decaling.  The trim at the end of the sidepods still differs, as Bob Doornbos’ carries grey accents to go along with his 06 endplates versus the yellow of Graham’s endplates.
