Just thinking
Kurt has an exemption as long as he’s in the top 30
by staying out till the chase
we could have 17 drivers in the chase
provided we have new winners
the 43 doesn't have speed, if it did Jones would be doing better
if your not driving for HMS, JGR, Penske and now Trackhouse
your lucky to have speed to keep up
if you think about it why do they need a charter
it's not like they are going to be a field filler team struggling to make speed
crashing in practice would be their biggest worry
not taking anything away from the race
it was just interesting that there was not a green flag pass for the lead
really..... has that happened before
there have been caution free races...............but no GF pass for the lead
Looking at this Jayski report
https://www.jayski.com/nascar-cup-series/2022-nascar-cup-series-road-america-cumulative-race-report/
Take away all the lead passes that were due to stage caution or staying out during green flag pit stops
There was not one pass on the track for the lead due to racing
I’m sure I’m in the minority
Who ever thought road courses are a good thing
Went to Mid-Ohio once
Was in the “S’s” everyone was sitting around enjoying their lunch
Then everyone jumped up watched cars go by for 30 seconds
Everyone sat down finished their sandwiches
Couple minutes later same...
JGR should bring back Erik Jones
Jones is in same boat as JHN……needs sponsor money
if you look at stats….there’s not that big a difference between Bell n Jones…….Jones is in the 43
don’t put off going
had a chance to go to Bristol back when Davey was still racing……said no, don’t have the money
going to Bristol in September…….roughly 30 years later from my first chance
I think so too ……….and I’m going this year
been to Daytona and Darlington…..no to Indy cause you can’t see all the way around but loved watching on tv
kinda of biased cause Yates cars were stout
