Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

All these people want to blame the aerodynamic package, yet the race earlier this year was one of the highest rated ones of the year. Lets admit it guys, race was simply a clunker and everyone raced each other really nicely with playoff points on the line

eeee yep. Having HMS step on the duck took out half of the competition. Lets face it JGR and HMS are the show this year. It isn't the dam car or the package..whatever

I believe the R-F polling data shows that the March race in Las Vegas is the anomaly, not yesterday's event. Most of the highly rated races are 750 horse with low downforce... shown in bold in the list below. Most of the races with low power and high downforce cluster near the bottom of the rankings.

1. Bristol (9/18): 9.63
2. New Hampshire (7/18): 8.992
3. Martinsville (4/10-4/11): 8.991
4. Watkins Glen (8/8): 8.80
5. Darlington (5/9): 8.57
6. Darlington (9/5): 8.51
7. Las Vegas (3/7): 8.302
8. Road America (7/4): 8.300
9. Nashville (6/20): 8.25
10. Homestead (2/28): 8.16

Can you forward this to NASCAR?
(Not that they’d care)
 
Hamlin's spotter admitted on DBC today that Hamlin was building tight at the end of the race and had a vibration the last 2 laps and he was just hanging on. Found out in VL the left front was going down.

Pain.

Prolly the only reason the 9 caught him at the end. He was steadily driving away prior to that.

According to Jeff Glucks pole about the bottom of the barrel races, it hasn't made any difference which package they run, high/low downforce, high/low HP whatever. When they lost the Hendrick's, LV went from bad to worse compared to the high rating in the spring.
