the loop data for the past seven races at the other tracks in the Flats track group (i.e., Martinsville, Phoenix, New Hampshire, Pocono and Richmond);
the practice and qualifying data for the past four races at Indy; and
the practice and qualifying data for past seven races at the aforementioned Flats.
