Softening the rear is the secret sauce. He can't go wider in the rear due to spec rules.

I will be very interested in Tom's lap times this year running square. I gathered a lot of data in my car running both square and staggered over 5 years. I was faster at Streets and AX but not WSIR, BW, SM, or AAA Speedway running square. Our cars are different though with his stripped, caged, and 300 lbs lighter. Square results in awesome braking and turn-in but I saw lower speeds at the end of long straights in my car. Everything is a tradeoff.
