Momentum game

5 takes 10 laps to make pace. Lap times continue to increase. Really weird. 29.4s early run. 29.1s mid run.

They’re in their own zip code per usual. Only thing that’ll stop him today is a late restart that somehow shuffles him.

Its pretty trivial at this point.

Lmao this is why casual viewers don’t stick around to watch these things on TV.

Got a decent battle going on and cut to commercial without warning for no reason.

That and ADHD

 

[Kiante]

Oooo, Kyle Busch had some bright language for his car now.

 

[Michfan]

Larson once again showing he's the most talented driver in this series and it's not close

Even worse that there's barely any decent battles to begin with at this track. We come back from commercial and nobody is racing out there.

I'm glad he's out front. But running faster with a bit of tire wear than fresh tires, is something I'm still not used to.

Kyle Busch win confirmed

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Best run Brad has had on a 1.5 in a while

He finished second in the all-star race. That was a different package but I figured he'd have a good run today.

Chase: “I’ve killed the right front again.”
Alan: “copy. Just try to not get lapped.”

 

[ChexOrWrex]

RF on the #9 is killed again, per Chase.

Wtf has Daniels figured out? With the 550 package, it’s not Kyle’s talent and throttle control.

 

[jaqua19]

Chase: “I’ve killed the right front again.”
Alan: “copy. Just try to not get lapped.”

He's got 17 seconds in 11 laps.

That's pretty ****** of Alan, imo

Dude is just smart.

You ever listen to him talk? He's just a smart dude.

Byron is better right now.

Ah, looks like Larson may have just backed up to him for the debris.

And Alan says “yeah, we’re scratching our head too. We’ll figure something out. Hang on.”
He just inspires confidence, doesn’t he?

Those two qualities are probably the reason why he is up front all the time.

With the 550 that little bit makes a difference and Daniels had some great setups even before Larson came through the door.

Sorry ... this is just wrong.

Yep. Chase is describing what he’s feeling but Alan and team have no ideas

Wait till he breaks out the ol’ “10-4”.

 

[aunty dive]

Looks like a head of lettuce on Bill’s grille.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I really thought the 540 package would neuter him because Kyle killed them with his expert throttle control and being willing to hang it out. 550 in theory didn’t allow that. I admit I was wrong.

It's Texas. I never expected anything else. Winning Martinsville was always going to be their ticket.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Is the 9 even gonna stay on the lead lap here?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Chase can barely get by Starr

 

[aunty dive]

Too much camber, Alan?

That or hoping Daniels lends them this car for next week since they’re locked in.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

They’re throwing changes at 3 of the 4 corners of the car this stop…. Texas=pain for the 9 every year.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Byron almost stole that stage win.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Kevin Harvick sabotaged Chase’s tires.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Harvick pre-race, probably.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Kevin Harvick sabotaged Chase’s tires.

Chase is cool. Maybe he’s in Alan’s head?
/S

Jeff Gordon curse holdover.

 

[Kiante]

When the CC says, "We're scratching our heads, too." is not a favorable sign.

 

[StandOnIt]

not enough cowboy hat

Exactly. Lie to me. Blow smoke up my butt. Give me hope!

 

[jaqua19]

Byron could steal this race.

Or maybe he won't. Idk. The 5s advantage over him has shrunk each run, could be interesting here.
