    Cup RACE thread --- Roval

    I agree that it was a track position race but at least it had some good racing and beating and banging and interesting strategy. I'm also glad you mentioned the lane choice as that seemed to burn Chase all day. I have been saying all year that I don't give Larson or Chase or Byron much of a...

    Cup RACE thread --- Roval

    Can't really blame qials. though. He started P7. Larson was shot out of a cannon at the start and he ran around 8th for a bit until long run speed showed. From everything I heard though, the car was great and they made little adjustment all day. I guess at one point Chase told everyone on...

    I'd really like to know more about Bowman - how much weight were they down and is there a chance this was not malicious in that it was due to damage? I am sure HMS will appeal obviously but this is a strange one for sure. His sudden boost in performance in these playoffs has me wondering if...

    Cup RACE thread --- Roval

    Not sure if I have ever had a race where I was happy as happy with the outcome but at the same time as frustrated. To see Chase get 17 stage points and still pull a P5 finish was great but what sucks is that I think the car was better than that - especially on long runs and he may have had...

    Pre-Race Thread for CMS'S The Roval

    He seems to have a decent car but I don't think anyone has anything for SVG and Reddick seems to be emerging as the new regular that's up there in RC's. Does anyone have 5 or 10 lap averages for practice? I think long run speed will be important.

    I agree but I also think Larson lost a lot of points being too aggressive at times and ending up getting caught up in a wreck. I know it was after the playoffs started but after he wrecked all by himself at ATL Chase said you need to tighten me up because if I push any harder I will end up like...

    Obviously at this point I'd rather have the PP's but just saying that Chase's average finish is not just because of lack of bad finishes. He has lots of good finishes. Just no the wins and stage wins he needs to be able to point through to Phoenix which is why I would take the PP's now.

    Right. I think Chase still has work to do there too but he has improved since last year. With better calls though he was probably a solid top 5 at Kansas and possibly even competing for the win depending on how some restarts shook out.

    I may be a fan but I think you are selling Chase a little short there. He does have 8 top-5's. I will compare him to Larson for this point so this is only 3 less than Larson. Chase also has 15 top 10's which is one more than Larson. Ture that he does not have the stage or race wins but he...

    Typo there.....I meant the speed in the 48.

    Cup RACE thread --- Kansas

    I know it's easy to Monday (or Tuesday in this case) AM QB but I have just had it with Alan G. I feel like the sport has passed him by some. It was hard enough for Chase to come from the back once. Passing is tough enough but he mostly called strategy all day that lost them track position...

    I got the impression that Cliff was all hyped up but Kyle was like "I'm in the way" and could not get CD to understand they had done all they could do and it was what it was.

    Kansas Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    Yeah this is going to be tough. If passing is as hard as it has been I really hope they pull something for track position early if the opportunity presents itself. like it did at Texas. With few playoff points Chase really can't afford a bad finish from this point on and needs stage points. I...

    Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

    Well we do agree on one thing. CD is the best right now. He is to me the Chad Knaus of today. I really wish Chase could get a new crew chief and see if that helps get that race winning speed back more consistently. They have been much improved this year but he and AG are the longest tenured...

    Man I need to check that out. It's getting to be the time of year where I am more likely to watch the race live so would love to have some onboard views.

    I might be guilty of misinterpreting what you were trying to say. I will give you that. :)

    People do realize that no matter when a race is scheduled it might rain.....right? LOL Of all the complaints I can make about NASCAR that is just a joke.

    Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

    The problem though is that I am not whining - Just pointing out the obvious. We get it - you will defend it because Larson won. I am a big picture guy though and care more about the product then who wins. I really don't understand what's so hard about separating those things. Yeah I like...

    Good points. I feel like as soon as NASCAR gets a car "dialed in" and figured out they move on to a new one. We really did see some great racing near the end of the last generation. I just remember cars could actually pass. One example to me of the difference is Chase at the Roval hitting...

    Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

    Fair...but I just don't understand what positive there was to pull out of that. There no comers and goers, there was no compelling strategy. Nothing like that. If you watched only the restarts and the next 10-15 laps you saw most of the race that mattered. I am not a fan who expects a lot of...
