I haven't seen any results from Watkins Glen post race inspections. I guess that there were no infractions/penalties that will affect the Michigan race. :confused:
 
can you imagine when the four of them are running side by side. POINTS MATTER, this PLAYOFF system has CHANGED the way they race.
 
How many times will Rick remind us of the speeds the cars are traveling at during the race? Hmmmm
 
1969 first race on a green track
Average speed: 139.254 mph
Pole speed: 160.135 mph
Lead changes: 35

2017 Michigan
Average speed: 150.903 mph
Pole speed: 203.097 mph
Lead changes: 14

My mind might be in the gutter, but these words were actually uttered in that video:
"Cale Yarborough tries the low side of a threesome down the backshoot"

Hahaha, good for him I guess. :cheers:

Damn, must have been 10 pumps on that jack!
 
Damn Suarez got loose there. Cannot believe they’re going two miles in 35-36 seconds. Just nuts
 
Burton..about Suarez they are working with Kyle's setups, right after about a five minute blabber dissertation on how he couldn't run anybodies setups.

Elliott not happy with the car.

What all did he say? Hopefully his race trim speed is a lot more sound tomorrow. Honestly it could just be a hangover for those guys, they've been all over this week and it's not like they're used to the routine that follows winning races yet.
