A revolution begins today.

 

[Johali]

Chase from 22 to 12th in 2 laps.

I'm conflicted on the bright yellow Wood Brothers car......I love tradition. I know they have varied over the years...but....

 

[Blaze]

Oh damn, actually having good racing??

 

[Racer1930]

Love this track...fast and plenty of room

 

[Mispeedway15]

This new package is amazing. ******** they are up on the wheel

 

[DewChaser988]

Holy ****, this is some of the best racing I have seen since the Gen 4 car

 

[Johali]

Great racing so far.

 

[Spotter22]

This is awesome guys!

 

[Blaze]

Holy sh!t, this is some of the best racing I have seen since the Gen 4 car

Really hoping it keeps up.

Earlier today I was watching videos of good racing and finishes at this track and was saying how I missed it. So I hope we can get something good today.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Man I wish Atlanta still had 2 races

 

[DewChaser988]

To think, this isn't even the full 2019 aero package

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, they're not in a pack, so one of my concerns has evaporated, at least with this config at this track.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I like what I'm seeing so far.

 

[Acs]

well what the heck? The leader is out in front by 1.5s. Did not expect that

 

[SlicedBread22]

So far so good! The runs these guys are getting are huge!

 

[Spotter22]

They wont run in a pack. This is a completely different animal

 

[Efisher131]

I like this. Atlanta fits this package well. Great stuff so far. They aren't wide open, aren't in a pack and are able to be 3 and 4 wide, but we have yet to see if they can pass the leader.

 

[DIDIT]

Either Blaney has a hot rod or he is using his tires up...we will see

 

[HoneyBadger]

All this package did was slow the cars down.

Before today, all I've had to go on was the All-Star race.

 

[UpNorth]

Well it's pretty great for about ten laps.

 

[Acs]

Can anyone really tell they are going slower? No? Didn't think so.

 

[jaqua19]

170 on the straits?

Joke lol

Yes. I didn't think it would actually be noticeable on TV but it is.

 

[Spotter22]

Its still great, watch the times and who is making up ground

 

[Blaze]

I can’t really tell. All I can tell is I’ve enjoyed some of what I’ve seen.

 

[UpNorth]

Cars running the same speeds 5 car lengths apart. Exciting !

 

[Mispeedway15]

Cars are real stable in the corners though

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The racing in the first 15 laps was so bizarre. Now, it's starting to look normal.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Can anyone really tell they are going slower? No? Didn't think so.

Hey, @DIDIT can you tell any difference in speed from the grandstands?

 

[DewChaser988]

Add some more horsepower (like maybe 600hp) and you have a winner, NASCAR

 

[Spotter22]

Yes. I didn't think it would actually be noticeable on TV but it is.

Ok Mr Late model guy, how can you like those cars at 80-100 mph and not this?

 

[Efisher131]

Can anyone really tell they are going slower? No? Didn't think so.

I can

 

[UpNorth]

Disagree. Watching the ticker isn't watching racing. Sure KyBusch is putting on a show making his way through the pack.

Almirola is 2.5 seconds in the lead in 25 laps‍
