I have to go with Denny Hamlin's tire changer/pit crew guy. The tire changer rolled the tire where it was difficult to retrieve. And the guy that stepped over the wall to get the tire. Best car all day lost of dumb pit execution.

On the track, Bell for wrecking himself off Ross's bumper when he had one of the fastest cars.
Off the track, Nick Adams and anyone who takes anything he says seriously.

I sort of remember them saying that bells digital rearview mirror stopped working, if so his spotter was the bonehead.

Bell. Very dumb and Ross has had plenty of karma lately I guess.

Toyota as a whole. They clearly had the cars to beat but ended up screwing it up

He obviously wasn’t there. Great atmosphere at the track Saturday & Sunday.
Personally I thought it was better than St. Louis this season for me. Both had about 60,000 people for their race.

Toyota/TRD did their part by putting the absolute fastest cars in the hands of their teams where raw speed is everything. WE didn't screw anything up, OUR teams didn't execute.

Yeah but this weekend I won't deny THEY had the speed to have finished better. I just wasn't aware WE were breaking the organization down.Qualifying fast and being fast in the race are two different things.

I am, but I am manufacturer first. I get really frustrated when WE can't hand OUR teams what they need to complete....see road courses. When WE give them what they need, but they don't execute...while that disappoints me, it isn't nearly as frustrating. I was very disappointed yesterday, but not frustrated.

WE were fast in every session....Practice, Qualifying, and the race. Nobody had anything for US except those who didn't make mistakes. In the words of Brad Gille....This isn't a fast car race.Qualifying fast and being fast in the race are two different things.

I would think there would be six crew chiefs, six car chiefs and
a bunch of team engineers really disappointed to learn that the sole credit for bringing really fast cars to Michigan goes to the manufacturer.

Not fast enough. The yota pole sitter couldn't catch the 4 car.

Yeah, I'm going to need that one explained to me. If a wide, sweeping two-mile oval isn't one of the best configurations to produce a 'fast car' race, then what is it?

If Michigan isn't a fast car race what is? Martinsville???? Did the slowest car win the race?

That's the damn point...the fastest car didn't win the race. There is more to this than raw speed. Ask Denny.

Did the fastest car win? No. Did the car with sufficient speed and near flawless execution win? Yes. Not a fastest car race.

Ask Rodney Childers about how much can be done with a pig of a car. He has spoken to this. My point....TRD handed the teams the tools to win. The teams didn't execute. Harvick has spoken to this repeatedly as well.

yep, not fast in the race leads to not winning. Maybe this week

Don't blame the 22 on why YOUR Toyota's lost. Joey gets paid to race and not to move over

I believe that the question was about why the 23 couldn't catch the 4. The 22 was the reason why.

Because bubba drove in over his head and the 22 got around him. Bubba wasn’t good enough to get back around Joey quickly. After he got around him Kevin was still faster in clean air.
