Dumb question on Nascar/Danica P

It`s probably a given that Patrick is 100lb lighter than Stewart, Newman, Waltrip and many others, Right? Does the team then get to run lighter or do they ballast up to a minimum weight?. Assuming they ballast, do they get to put it where they want i.e.
on the floor to lower C of G?. If so, is that why she was one of one who kept the car
down on the yellow line for quicker time?

We all know about the Penske Camaros being acid dipped to be able add the saved weight lower on the car, is this more of the same only not having to acid dip Patrick as she is already light enough. Thank you for looking.,
