Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

Has NASCAR turned over a new leaf or something? They've really let these things run green the last couple of weeks.
Carry over from last year, the stages, way less entertainment yellows now because of them.
 
What gives with this car? It seems like every race, every year, one car is just far and away superior to the rest.
I am usually not the chicken little type, but was just going to post how much these three races have sucked. This was a good track in the past for a mile and a halfer, but this week looks like the exact same race as last week
 
Wow, only two Chevy SSZL1's in the top ten
 
This is also the 48's first year without Ron Malec, who was the car chief since JJ's rookie year. Might be overlooking his personal impact on the performance of the cars.
People are very major piece of the puzzle for race teams, him leaving could very well be having a big impact of the 48 team.
 
Sure looks like the 4 has them covered, but the 18 looking like he could steal this one. I really thought it would be the 42 this weekend...
 
Barring a major wreck or leader blowing up, this is an absolute snoozer. I’m ready to play Xbox and listen to scanner on my phone.
 
Jimmie and the 48 grinding away in 19th. I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow get a top 10
 
I haven't been keeping up, but was there an issue with the teams using their own guns?

Some teams were spending lots of money to develop better air guns. This resulted in some teams having better air guns than others.

Fine with me- innovation is often a good thing. It's a part of racing.

Apparently, NASCAR didn't like that, so they decided all teams must use identical crappy air guns.

At the end of that run they were posting lap times same as the top 3-5. Just need the lap back.
 
yeah, maybe let teams use their guns till the issue is resolved. seems like some teams are benefitting over others
 
Maybe Ford shoudnt change bodies next year, them having the oldest Gen6 body doenst seem to be hurting them one bit.

And I was told how last week's race was great. I struggled to stay awake through it and I'm a Kevin Harvick fan.

I'm gonna go change the cat's litterbox.

Remember that time during Harvick's dominance from 2014-2016 when Harvick had races like these? Only to be taken to school by the 48 for the win? Must have happened 6 times.
