Cup RACE thread --- Dover, #2

I'm telling you guys, the 48 was the best car after like 20 laps. On even tires, he had a shot at him

Lewis Hamilton wasn't touching the #4 car today dude. If they took four tires he would've been back in sixth or seventh on the start anyways.

Stopwatch don't lie. But I get it

Great call by Cliff Daniels to get Jimmie a P3 finish.

While Knaus and Byron did a great job on improving from their Saturday performance, William showed zero will to win. On better tires, gets to the rear bumper and doesn't use it, to not being able to pass Jimmie when he was held up by lapped traffic. Just a poor showing of the ability to be clutch. Reminded me too much of Greg Biffle at the Daytona 500 and Kasey Kahne at Bristol.
 
Harvick had the fastest car by far

He was afraid of getting 4x incident points and lowering his safety rating.
 
Daytona Cup is on Saturday night? I'm glad I learned that just now, and not when it's too late next Sunday.

EDIT: I'm aware the summer Daytona race is usually Saturday night. For some reason, I thought this Daytona race would be Sunday.

Taking two tires paid off for the 48. I don't care if he makes the playoffs, though. I just want him to win another race.
If the champion isn't Harvick or Hamlin NASCAR really has to do something about the playoff system.

Harvick and Hamlin are trading wins but Harvick is smoking Hamlin in season points. Even if this keeps up, Harvick deserves it hands down.
 
NBC has already beaten the “Anything can happen in the final regular season race at Daytona” horse.

Not a single driver on the track today is comparable to Jeff Gordon, much less Byron.

I wouldn’t say that. Nothing in the sport is the same as when Jeff came in. In terms of pure talent, I think there are drivers that are as good as a young Jeff. William Byron isn’t one of them.
 
If anything this proves the aero/mechanical packages are pointless, best teams guys are rolling everyone no matter what.

Cannot wait for Daytona next week

It went better than I thought it would. The 48 has no chance to compete for a championship anyway, so making the play off field is a mute point. I want to see him win one more time though.

Good job for Byron and Knaus. They took their experience from yesterday and improved the hell out of it. No practice is affecting that team as much as anybody

He did well today, he said they did wholesale changes to the car, but hey in the end it worked.

I just want to see more consistency from Byron, not to mention Knaus chewed out Byron and wanted him to step up, Byron responded well today. Daytona is going to be crazy because Ricky Stenhouse is in that damn 47 car and it going to make it a nightmare for everyone.
