I haven't heard anything in particular this year, but I assume CW. That's how they've run it the last three years.

Although one year they did CW Saturday and CCW on Sunday.  That was different!  But my money is on CW only!

I think I remember something about HQ and/or the Chief Perp not liking the ninety degree approach to the pit wall when running CCW.

It is a pretty fast 180 onto the main straight going CCW, but I don't know how much worse that is compared to going CW with the bumpy corner coming out of the carousel. With or without the sun in your eyes at 5 o'clock.
