Nice move between cars.

 

[machinistman3]

he's going backwards.

Aww

 

[Head423]

Fun so far.

 

[BobbyFord]

Looks like it’s nearly impossible to pass.

 

[machinistman3]

What a weird Michigan race.Side drafting is just not right here.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Great racing so far I'm hoping they stay bunched up like that its been fun to watch

 

[*WEAVER*]

That Jones boy..

 

[Switchback]

Yep

Looks like it’s nearly impossible to pass.

Unfortunately, it looks like passing the leader is all but impossible without"help".

 

[machinistman3]

Got enough Ford emblems in that Kez shot???

 

[34R7H130UND]

Got enough Ford emblems in that Kez shot???

I think they need more. They should make the seat out of Ford emblems lol

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Yep


Unfortunately, it looks like passing the leader is all but impossible without"help".

My Darling Bride commented that they sure are talking about 'help' a lot.

I've never considered needing 'help' a good thing. This race hasn't changed my mind yet.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Welcome back to another weekly installment of “how will Harvick’s pit crew screw him today?”

 

[SlicedBread22]

Yep


Unfortunately, it looks like passing the leader is all but impossible without"help".

U guys watching the same race as me? Every lead change so far has not required "help"..

Do people even consider that maybe the guy in the lead just miiiight be the faster car? Lol

..and I dont just mean Joey and now just in general

Sounds like a plate race.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Did I hear Harvick lost 7 spots in the pits?

Say it ain't so. Lmao

 

[BobbyFord]

U guys watching the same race as me? Every lead change so far has not required "help"..

There’s been a change in the leader?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Let the record show that I was not the first person to use the P word.

 

[Truex_rox]

And the crowd. Goes. MIIild.

The 4 drove from 8th place right up to the leaders bumper and then stalled out less than 2/10s back for the rest of the run.

 

[Truex_rox]

Three JGR cars in the top five. None of them are Kyle Busch.

Good restart.. second place car

There’s been a change in the leader?

I’m watching a plate race at Michigan.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This is wild, it’s like Daytona and Dega

 

[SlicedBread22]

You know.. sometimes DW makes me think I know more about this sport than he does lol

 

[ReturnTrip]

All these aero momentum passes have me on the edge of my seat.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There’s been a change in the leader?

Sure, two. Hamlin around Logano before they got up to speed, and Logano's Ford back to the front when the engine came up to full song.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This is wild, it’s like Daytona and Dega

Exactly what some of us have been afraid of since last May.

 

[StandOnIt]

10 car will have hell passing that 22 car Logano is set on kill right now

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Exactly what some of us have been afraid of since last May.

I’ll be honest...I’m not sure if this is my cup of tea. It looks like a video game imo .

 

[SlicedBread22]

I'm enjoying it.. but I enjoy it all as long as they're making laps.. y'all r too picky

 

[StandOnIt]

Jones boy might take a shot, he moved up to second

 

[DaBiff1618]

Looks nearly impossible to pass the leader except on the restart

 

[machinistman3]

I'm enjoying it.. but I enjoy it all as long as they're making laps.. y'all r too picky

Maybe because your boy is in first??

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Racing behind the leader is pretty fun to watch, but as usually with any NASCAR package, you can't pass the leader

 

[Thegeneral23]

This package is a joke man lol.. I’m sick of seeing DAYTONA at every track man.. what is this junk?! All u hear is clean air, air , aero this clean air this haha.. this is terrible

 

[BobbyFord]

I’d hate to be a driver in this series.

 

[DUN24]

The dudes are finally starting to move forward.. and I'm off to watch a baseball game. Finishing this one tomorrow night it looks like.

yeah it's that leader thing. It takes a mistake BTW.

 

[Truex_rox]

I’ll be honest...I’m not sure if this is my cup of tea. It looks like a video game imo .

I'm watching an onboard view from Brad Keselowski's car over on Nascar.com, and you can tell just what these guys mean when they bemoan how difficult it is to pass and how even the current best drivers have trouble with the new package.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Gosh...I really love Chase’s Hooters commercials. Really hits the stereotypical NASCAR fan
