You'll never get that time back, especially shown when you look at Kaiser at the sharp end until that car was wrecked.
The chassis are identical but the aero configuration for road coarse and superspeedway is quite different, as is the suspension setup

Also with the superspeedway configuration, there are two slots, at the front of the floor, either side of the chassis, which are there to prevent the car getting a airborne.
