I would not be too harsh here. It appears their engineer may have been out to lunch with the setup. Fortunately for Bryan Frenchy Bordais helped out with his setup and a test hop. After that Bryan gained about 3mph. He is at nearly 223.

Somebody mentioned on the Trackside show last night that the crew put new wheels on the car and they didn't mate up to the hubs properly for some reason. One possible issue right there.
