To me more importantly look where the highest Toyota is.

Didn't age well.

8 car; that was ALL driver.

I thought his equipment was better now. Guess not. That thing was all over the place.

Never seen a 180 degree turn on human being like this in my 29 years on this earth.

Manufacturer loyalty. 100%. Still love you though brother.

Damn right. Why didn't they take the ****** tape in Pocono? ****** bull****.

 

[Revman]

Got a good feeling about today. Gonna be a good one.

So what’s up with the louvers?
is it still unknown what was wrong?

 

[*WEAVER*]

Josh Berry for the win today..

Josh will then take over the 9 car for good, and Chase Elliott will join the USA Snowboarding team..

Hendrick screwed with a part they aren't supposed to be screwing with because you aren't supposed to be screwing with anything. Impacts front downforce. Hendrick gets them taken before a race....and probably a slap on the wrist while JGR had pieces of tape on the front quarters and get DQ'ed. Houston, we have a problem.

You don't realize the rammifications of an L2 - L3 penalty.

One of those two penalties, especially if HMS has altered the source part could kill their season(s) before it has really even started.

If they get caught, its going to be a massive uphill battle if modifications are found.

Usually when it's HMS, it gets swept under the rug.

Except the fact that HMS got caught trying to practice with the violation and hadn't yet presented the car for qualifying or race inspection. While Toyota ran a race with a violation.

But hey let's not facts get in the way of a good story. The smart thing from whoever told the officials about the Toyota's was they waited til the race started so it would be a DQ.

Nail on the head.

NASCAR told teams to remove their wiper blades. Drivers wanted it, but probably some little tricks were being done with it.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Of course they shouldn't run with the wipers if there's no rain in the forecast. These teams man lol

There definitely is something aero done. I was listening to the #7 radio yesterday and they mentioned several times to reset the wiper so clearly they felt there was an optimal location

I thought everyone already knew the wipers affected aero. We've seen the team mount them under threatening conditions and they all want it at the same angle.

NASCAR goes and the weather seems to follow. I feel that. Lol.

He's starring in is own movie, a legend in his own mind

 

[Turtle84]

I expect the expert nascar of decision makings for the mud flaps to remain while the wiper goes at the drivers vision behest, they are in the desert with the loose impediments flying up could scratch a windshield, plus the undercarriage of underforce has been set to perfect combination staggered with select diffuser removement.

Rick will float a few hundreds under the table, and it will all go away. He has a history with this kind of thing.

Oh, I get it....they were never going to race it. Gotcha. What a joke.

No one can judge intent, so who knows? The reality is it wasn't presented yet for qualifying or race
