That's wrong, they don't pass. We all know with more horsepower and less downforce, passing will no longer be a problem, aero will disappear, different teams and drivers will win the races and all will be well.

Dont understand this at all. Why would the 95 have to use the 96 changer?

Makes sense, I guess they arent allowed backups with this covid thing going on. Thats what surprised me. Kid had a hell of a race

I only saw the last 30 laps but I'm honestly surprised there was no team orders. I'm glad, but I don't think every team would have raced it honestly like that

Honestly I know it's his job etc, but especially with his yearly win streak on the line, I don't think Kyle Busch would have followed any such order anyway.

Also to add, if true that the 95 had to wait in the pits for the 96 stops to finish, giving up track position every time, then that is an amazing run for rookie Christopher Bell finishing 3rd still.

Highest finish of the round?

Actually Jayski and the NASCAR website lists it the same now. It doesn't make any difference now but I was just wondering how they would decide a tiebreaker if it was the final race.

Tiebreaker goes likes this
Most wins, if still tied, then seconds, thirds and so on
