Kind of reminds me of DW back in the day. Being a DE fan, I never cared for him in his glory years, but he was much more likable his last 2 or 3 years.
This whole playoff and cutline thing has gotta be so stressful on these drivers and teams. As if running at this level isn't stressful enough. :confused:
Right, better than the other drivers while running around 17th points and still get the Cup. :rolleyes:
He is capitalizing on this lame "playoff' system they have.
Why are you being a jerk? :rolleyes:
I know you just love to defend this lame car, but Xfinity was also quickest in the beginning practice which is with NEW TIRES! Zilich 85.5 to Almendinger 86.6. But evidently all you want to talk about is tire fall off.
I'm done here.
I knew about tire fall off, but assumed they put new tires on for qualifying.
Either way, this Next Gen car is not as fast as it should be. There are several tracks where Xfinity is right with them or very close on times. Xfinity cars were also quicker in practice.
Zilich in Xfinity qualifying was nearly a second quicker than Reddick in Cup, 85.054 to 85.939.
Crazy with Cup cars having independent rears, rack and pinion steering, wider tires, more gears, etc.
I will be surprised if Heim doesn't pull this off. Like every other track no matter the configuration, he can put that 11 anywhere he wants it. Must be nice!
edit: Doh....of course right after I say that he starts losing time to the leader.
I remember him punting Custer at Watkins Glen on the last turn of the last lap to steal the victory in the truck series. Custer ran up to him and gave him a body slam to the ground before officials got there. JHN has a habit of doing stupid stuff
