I think that's a little rough," Bernard said before Sunday's race. "When we decided to have an event here we knew we were going to have to build on it.

Plans to allow teams to use different aero kits to add to cars and make them more aerodynamic have been put off until 2013 because of their cost.Each team will use the same default aero kit for oval tracks and another default kit for road courses next year on the new car being built by Dallara, an Italian company.
