What a stage! 8 points for Byron. I’ll take that.

Got a lot of "P's" in the top 10 stage points.
Super lucky they made it.

Yes, I hate it when everyone is losing their minds at how awesome 4 wide pace laps are when nothing will happen because no one can or will make a move due to fuel saving. Total lottery and it’s frustrating as all hell when you’re good on fuel and can go but the guy at the head of the line (who happens to be teammate) isn’t so he’s gumming it up. PlAyOfFs!!!!

Their first item on their agenda was to get rid of Ross, he's bad fast. He will be back.

Seems like you’re describing a strategic move, which is the opposite of a lottery.

Road courses and short tracks.
I admit I don't see the appeal of running four wide for extend laps. No one had room to go anywhere, just hold position.

We need a smaller fuel cell on plate tracks. NASCAR tried it 20 years ago or so and I think it worked pretty well.

It shows they can do this without wading them up, but when its on the line, we know whats gonna happen.

Yep, Ross had Larson wiggling like a nightcrawler.

The Hendrick's are setting up for stage points. I saw the 8 did also.

Cody Ware has always been a good plate track driver. Just ask the booth, they’ll tell ya. That’s my favorite part about these tracks. Every time a back marker is up front, we pretend that they’re good plate racers.

Go Briscoe!
Some really solid paint schemes today. I particularly like the 14 and the 15.

All the time up front and the 48 didn't get sheet.

But if he didn’t watch, he couldn’t tell us how much he hated it.

The Rick Ware cars up front for a few laps while the rest of the field was telling... but this is still half the fuel BS you'd see in the Indy 500.
Bad luck for Truex.

I think MTJ and KyBu are beyond back luck this season... abysmal or horrific are better words at this point
If NA$CAR gave up a bigger chunk to the teams they could afford practice.

Does SVG have brakes, does he have tires, he's a road racer, does SVG know where the finish line is?
