Teams are allowed to make their own anti roll bars, which the driver can adjust. This article from Racer is worth a read.

There is some variability in the spec supplied parts and it can be performance differentiating. The teams have complained about this in the past. The larger teams can buy and test more parts so it disadvantages the small teams.

Spec, but not necessarily identical. Buy 10 “identical” parts and find one is better over 200mph - put it aside for Super Speedway use.

Also you’ve just spent days tuning the set-up.

So, each car when put together will be slightly different. Enough that at 200mph and with the small margins need GP fine tuning.

Jimmie seemed to be spooked on the first lap. Dixon letting Palou & Veekay take the lead.

Edit - Dixon gets back past Veekay.

Finished a couple of indoor karting races at an Andretti Karting place that had the F1 race on earlier and needed to ask several times to have the actual 500 put on. My kart number was at least proper! Beer is cold and the volume of the broadcast is now cranked to 11!!

Good run, 39 laps before the first caution.

Sucks for Veekay, he was looking good. Having said that, perhaps he was pushing too much to keep up with the Ganassi pair.
