I am still processing the weekend here and the more I have reflected on this race I just feel it's an example of what's wrong with the sport right now. Was there one on track pass for the lead other than Blaney at the end? If there was I missed it. Clean air means too much. Byron held a...

Right. Amazingly enough though...all that will matter in the end in who makes the final 4 is wins. Everyone making an issue about who is higher than Bell in the points is amazing to me given that while yes - he has the 3 wins - he also has 2 finishes of 29th or worse and finished outside the...

Yeah I agree and Denny was the best car for sure but for me this is another example of why the 9 is struggling to win. They lost 2 spots in the pits on the money stop. If they got him the lead then I think the car was good enough to hold the lead. Denny was the best but I think any of the top...

Yes - There was talk of a special chemical being made by Dupont since they were experts on that and sponsoring him.

Nice to have options. Not sure how I watched everything before the advent of DVR. LOL. September/October are huge for me because NFL/NASCAR/MLB are my top 3. We used to have game nights with friends on Sundays and watch the race, Yankee game and both our favorite football teams. Some late...

See...right there. None of us KNOW this. We have no idea how hard he was pushing early in the run compared to what the car was capable of. It COULD be true but we just don't know. It could just as easily be that Larson was better at making speed on worn tires than the rest and without seeing...

How is passer rating determined? Who passes the most cars? That simple?

I don't disagree on what we saw yesterday with Larson. That said, I don't think it's a simple that the driver makes long run speed. I know they have a say in it with how that manage tires but there's a lot more that goes into it with car set up and air pressure and so on. Larson did a great...

Yeah, haven't short tracks like Martinsville always been this way? I remember Bristol back in the day was they way too before the reconfigure.

Yeah - it's another example like I was saying with Bell where it's not like they were dominating but they executed all day and things went their way at the end. The long run, Blaney blowing up and Alex chocking and pounding the wall all were what he needed. I am not positive he needed Alex to...

I don't know about that....why do you think that? I mean the fact that I am just getting here this AM to see only 3 pages of chat kind of tells the tale to me that it was an OK race at best. I thought it was getting really good at the beginning of the final stage - lots of comers and goers and...

Very funny that last week he had a 15-20th place car and finished 10th and this week he probably had a top 3 car and finished 10th. Racing. I think when he got the speeding penalty that made some adjustments that they thought would be helpful to get through traffic but were not and kind of...

I think Larson will continue to dominate on tracks such as Vegas, Homestead, Bristol and Darlington where he can work the high line. It sucks because I have my tickets and am headed to Bristol next month and not looking forward to a repeat of the Fall but I have always wanted to go if anything...

I agree with you. I am curious and have asked before though - what would your solution be? I am all for going back to the old points system maybe with some extra incentives for winning but not sure if that will fix it. Interestingly enough, if we were going by the old system Bell would be on...

I don't know - have they really hit on something? Seems to me they have been running well for a while and this is just one of those stretches where things are falling their way more. I am not saying anything against Bell - I am saying this is not surprising as he has been running good for a...

Thanks for this. That makes more sense. I just could not make out the last thing he said before. I have zero issue with this now. People can call Denny a cry baby but I want a driver to be pissed they did not win and I thought it was good hard racing. Really the only thing about the race...

I guess I need to see a replay. I did not think Bell was dirty at all. Maybe I missed something. I was honestly just glad the race was over. Hopefully next week will be better for Vegas has been the Larson show for a while.

I hate the stupid "option" tire crap and it did nothing to silence me as a Phoenix hater and it's not just because Chase had a mid-day. To me if you need to start pulling gimmicky stuff like option tires you know the racing sucks. I think a softer tire in general that wars more overall would...

I am surprised to hear that stat but I don't think that it really tells the whole tale. I do agree though that they need to go to work and figure it out but at the same time I just can't see major improvement happening during the season. Chase did say they made his car better yesterday at one...

We have heard similar from those 2 when Chase got used up. That was just good racing with Denny and Bell yesterday. I like that Denny is pissed that he got beat because once you are OK with it, it's time to retire. That said he did not have to make is personal.
