Ok lol

There goes Chase Elliot, invalidating himself again lol. Mr. Pessimist.

What did he say?

 

[jaqua19]

What did he say?

Kliggerman commented how his average finish there is 3.6 or something and he smirked.

He said, "well one of those was a fuel mileage race, the other, half the field wrecked so two of those aren't really real".

Parity

all 7 factory Yota's including both rookies in the top 12. Probably come out with another front end and get some more aero tweaks next year. Got to get those two yearlings next year an advantage.

He makes good points.

6 cars on lead lap for last year's Fall race.

A more tapered, tapered spacer because Chevy has too much horsepower.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Missed this during practice -- ROTFLMAO

No one scheduled to serve more than a 15-min pit road penalty during final practice. But @DaleJr is among those who get to sit for 15.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.‏Verified account @DaleJr
Replying to @jeff_gluck
I will spend that time contemplating my errors that have put me in this position. Afterwards I will take my team for crab cakes and beer.

With the Outlaw 200 at Fulton Speedway being pushed back to Sunday, I'll be missing the MTJ show and watching the best short track dirt race New York State has to offer. Here's to single digit cars on the lead lap at the end of 400 miles, and a black #78 blowing the tires to avoid the cucumbers that try to attack after the race. Good luck to everyone in their battle against sleep!

Lucky, rain and wind forecasted here. Probably clean out the garage and winterize a couple of the summer toys.

Haha where was this??

Chipotle. I was leaving the track and saw Stenhouse driving a golf cart and saw them going towards the chipotle. So I decided might as well get chipotle now. I was the only one to recognize them in there, pretty cool moment

OMGGS. thanks. cantbelieve I have missed this

Doesn't matter. That isn't a mindset to have. He has the results. Doesn't need to rationalize why he shouldnt be over confident.

He's RUN well there before anyway

He knows exactly who he is, where he comes from, what he's got and where he's going.

The rest is about that all important image that these younger drivers are expected to portray, IMO.
