Was talking to a buddy of mine who races Miata’s. The reason the MX-5 works at Martinsville is because the corners work more like a road course than an oval. Makes sense he does well here. It’s all about good braking and rolling the corner
Well that’s how Martinsville has always been. It was Richard Petty followed by Cale Yarborough followed by Darrell Waltrip followed by Jimmie & Jeff and now Ryan Blaney is on a roll there
That’s where I think a hybrid could come into play. Regardless this is awesome for the road courses and places like Martinsville. We finally have a car that won’t cut the tire at the slightest impact, the low HP just makes it too easy to block
Heck I think Europe should even be a bit worried. These international games are helping eat into soccer a bit as well.
To be honest though I’m not mad about the standings. To me guys like Larson and Bell are being rewarded for their early season success. Kansas was an absolute banger as well
It’s just like college football. There are a lot of current cup guys who did great in Xfinity who never really panned out. Austin Dillon and Bubba Wallace are good examples of guys I thought would win more races than they have
