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.

Just like last year he sixth and points because his worst finish all year is 20th, he has hardly any stage points no stage wins and he hasn't really been a factor in any of the races. Nobody wants to be the fourth best driver on a four car team.

Rev, you know me well enough to know that I don't sugarcoat things, I don't make excuses and I don't pretend stuff isn't happening. I'll even go as far to say that if Rick and Jeff gave me the job of fixing it, I don't even know where I'd start. All I know is what they are doing right now isn't...

I think you all know that I'm as much in Chase's corner as anyone, BUT, this mediocre, scrambling to salvage top ten crap has GOT TO STOP. Larson is faster, Byron is "luckier" and as of late Bowman is more consistent. That isn't leaving much for Chase. It's LONG past time for him to not only...

As much as I don't want to rehash a bunch of old stuff, it's one thing to have the talent for the highest level, but the people that succeed most often have the wisdom and the maturity to go with it, and figure out how to manage the pressure and the expectations. Sometimes I think adults do the...

I have no idea what the issue is, but this thing is going south in a BIG hurry. He quickly went from being the guy you were sure was going to be the next first time winner to an absolute afterthought.

I've been screaming this from the rooftops for 25 years, but most just don't want to hear it. From the original TV deal, all NASCAR was concerned about was the size of the check. Whether the fine print favored NASCAR or not was in my opinion NEVER a consideration. NASCAR took an opportunity...

Well, in defense of this one, the 21 struggled with Matty D. UNTIL they made a needed crew chief change, and that car woke up overnight. My point would be that Harrison has ONLY showed any actual ability in overwhelmingly good JGR Xfinity equipment, and Penske and the Woods had every reason to...

I for one am not the slightest bit surprised that Josh has taken the 21 to victory lane, yes, Harrison really WAS that bad, and no, nobody had ANY reason to set up Harrison to fail.

Congrats to Josh Berry and the Wood Brothers! I'm just sitting here thinking about all the experts who said single lug wheels falling off would cease to be an issue. Four years in, STILL waiting.

My guess is they will dust off the NASACAR spec non-production based Cup/Xfinity engine the used before and simply update it to current standards and specs. Now that the engines are so restricted, it shouldn't be much of an issue. That engine was designed to have at least a couple hundred more...
