Superior talent in the Truck and Xfinity race. In the Cup race, if anyone else had managed to get out front instead of Larson, they probably would have done the same thing.

What is the point of racing if you can't get an advantage or make up the gap on your own if you get behind?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yeah, go read the list of BoP changes for Long Beach. It reads almost like a parody. About the only thing they left out is if the driver farts between lap 2 and 17, the RPM of his engine will be restricted by 75 RPM for the remainder of the race. "All cars in the GTP class except for the BMW...

NASCAR has always given engine parameters to work in, but they have NEVER outright penalized teams for making too much horsepower. That is what they do in IMSA, and that evidently is what they want to bring to NASCAR. As for all of these passes, take out green pit stops and the first two laps...

1. It was pretty much unwatchable even when one of "my" cars was stinking up the race. The finish did little to improve it.

You just said it: Handicap performance. There are so few areas available as it is to separate one car from another, and this will only exacerbate the problem. If you like watching a bunch of cars run 100 miles bumper to bumper and never change position, then this will be right up your alley. In...

What this will lead to is engine teams/engine builders getting penalized for doing too good of a job and making more horsepower. While it is an unwanted but sadly necessary evil in sports car racing, it has ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE in NASCAR. The absolute LAST thing NASCAR needs is even more cars...

Sure a LOT different than my old trusty one pump Brunnhoelzl.

Other than that four in a row run in the spring race, he really didn't have a ton of luck at Bristol. I believe he only won the night race once. He started off pretty strong at Richmond, but that didn't last long.

You know what they say about statistics. Wake me up when the path to victory goes through the 9 car.

So NASCAR creates a problem where it did not exist, and then blames the problem for their lack of action? God they must think we are the dumbest people on earth. Hey Phelps you moron, you don't have the room to build anything bigger than a short track (which is fine with me) because YOUR...

The secret of being a great coach is knowing how to motivate each individual personality in your "locker room". Maybe Jeff's little shot across the bow will bear fruit.

I struggle with that because I have always been a big Gustafson supporter and I think he has in the past had to take too much crap he didn't deserve, but at some point you have to wonder if they have reached the limit of how far they can go together.

The 9 team has been underperforming since about August of 2022. How long do you have to wait before acknowledging there is an issue?

What's the old Bill Parcells line? "You are what your record says you are." For those of us who have invested a decade in following Chase's career, it would indeed be a very disheartening thing to have to acknowledge.

I think the chart perfectly illustrates what I'm saying. If the top five number plays out, it would be a career worst. The top ten number would be the lowest full season number since 2019. TWO laps led through six races? And worse yet I think those were just during pit cycles. You have two...

Why is it whiny to point out that this team is not performing to the expected level? If it was Larson who hadn't been a threat to win a race two months into the season let alone actually win one, it would be all anyone would be talking about.

Not a bit, just like when Dale Jr. sucked for half a decade and when Gordon had multiple off years in a row, but I'm not going to apologize for wanting more or expecting more. This is a champion, a twenty race winner in the prime years of his career with the premier team in the series. If he...

Ty Gibbs IS a concern, but so is Chase. Different expectations for different drivers.
