Edit: The race lap times for the fast cars were generally in the 1:39+ range
Exactly!

The missile with proper chassis ride height, bar and spring rate, aero balance, and shock tuning should be right there. Especially if Darrel is running with similar paced cars.

Today's track configuration made for great racing...… hope they continue to run it. Disclaimer: I'm only a NASCAR fan on road courses and Bristol.
