Leigh Diffey is a car guy, through and through. He knows his racing, also.
I find him refreshing --- without the histrionics of Rick Allen.

Finished 2nd at Loudon and with 10 more laps would have won. Was running 3rd at Pocono and had driven by the 78 before breaking a drive shaft. Larson is not a great road course driver which is why he finished poorly at the Glen, but he did qualify second. Got wrecked at Indy late just like everyone else. Hard to pass too much judgement yet.

Penske has found qualifying speed, I wonder how their race pace will fare?

Love knockout qualifying, never used to watch the single car runs and still don't when they do them now.

Penske front row! Nice!
I know qualifying doesn't necessarily mean anything but the speed is there.. and that's a good sign for this guy.

A reporter called out Kez and his statement last week about the Toyota's. He said that the rumor is that Nascar was supposed to take all the cars after the Michigan race.

I need to think of something new for here
You are aware that he could of bobbled during during single car qualifying , least with knockout he has a chance to go back out there and recover, cant do that with single car qualifying, so.....
I don't listen to Brad ........ I cannot stand the sight of him or the sound of his voice

That's funny that's how I feel about Kyle Busch!!!! You might want to tune in to Brad atleast he has some insightful opinions and very good blogs, unlike Kyle who just calls people trolls on Twitter.

car is still fast though, just because he messed up one corner in qualifying doesn't mean a whole lot in the scheme of things. He has speed is the big deal.

Pretty fishy for the Toyota's to be in qualifying trim the whole practice also. It was like testing a whole new car for speed IMO. I think they are using a type of spring steel similar to leaf springs for their truck arms. Hard to test without a NDT lab, and the arms would probably be destroyed in the process. We'll see if they aren't cutting in the corners at Michigan. They still have a whole lot of down force with their front end over the others.

I think Kenseth is going to break his long non-winning streak this week. He's been much improved of late and finished best among the toyota's in qualifying (starting 4th). He also needs the win to lock down a playoff spot and just to show people he's still a force at the grand old age of 45.

Hate knockout qualifying, always used to watch the single car runs and never watch when they do knockouts now.

Current qualifying is about 100 times more enjoyable to watch than the previous format.

I agree, at first, I was that old school fan, hate changes , stuck my head in the sand, but now, I think its a lot more entertaining to watch, one of the few changes NASCAR has made that I like.
