Cup RACE thread — Darlington

Hey, NASCAR, see what happens when you give race winners sufficient points? Dominant drivers can get some separation. And with a minmal reset, they have every reason to try to stay there.
So far I think it has changed the complexion of the races from what I see. There is a whole lot less bumper cars going on.
 
He’s got tons of raw speed and he’s as good as Blaney at plowing through the field. Once Spire quits giving him ****boxes and he figures out how to nail these finishes, he’s gonna be ticking off the wins.
What did you say Spire is giving Hocevar?
 
Somebody else already pointed it out but I wanted to add a little more:

4 wins for 23XI out of 6 races.
+1 for owner DH to make it 5 out of 6.
Lol.

Prior to certain recent events I probably wouldn't be rooting for this type of scenario, but yeah what a post-trial victory lap.
 
I had to catch most of the last stage on the radio, but from what I saw/heard you cant take anything away from Tyler on this one. They faced adversity and just flat out beat everyone
 
It often takes HMS a couple months into the season to really figure it out when they get a new one. They’ll get there. They always do.

When they do I still think they might be better than ever with the new one. It just takes time to get used to.
But the narrative of "what a good job of preparation" was ready if they came out of the gates strong. Felon types always come from the perspective that it's about them.....if they get better, MY Toyotas are the standard.....and let's be clear, this is about The Chain Gang unable to figure it out. Chevy goes as they go. Do they get as good as US? What will that get them? Will they become dominant? That is a pretty steep hill to climb ....and the whining about horsepower? They all knew the rules package.....What's wrong with the vaunted Felon horsepower? I am sure that The Felon and Jim will be having lunch soon with the Felon having his pockets bulging with 100s. Again, I am used to this.....When Ford is strong--Doug Yates horsepower......When The Chain Gang is strong--Felon horsepower......When MY Toyotas are strong--TO THE DYNO!!!!!! Love it.
 
As it should be when someone has won four of six. My only complaint with that statistic is that there's still a cut line.
It's a problem that a driver has won 4 of the 6 races bigly with stage points and all now? It will blow their cut line B.S. story lines out of the water if it stays that way that's a given. I guess we will just have to watch the races and see what happens. No win and your are in to save ya....sink or swim. Teams might have to look for drivers who can really drive instead of who brings the largest dowry.
 
Word on the street in Daytona Beach is that the folks over at PETA have requested the police to perform a welfare check on Jim France's cat...
