Yeah like that massive loss of time on the pit call that put him back in traffic again didn’t mean anything. Cmon Chase.
Solid drive for Larson. It’s no wonder Chip packed up and left.

Denny has had one hell of a season without a win yet. Wow.

Thats what a feast or famine season gets you. Meanwhile, Hamlin has been incredibly consistent.

Chase a little hard on himself for sure. But better than someone who throws his team under the bus. Win as a team and lose as a team.

You know, Chase is a road course only one trick pony, and this is really a pretty significant loss with eventual playoff Implications.

Flat spotted his tires.
Yep, and may have cost him a win today. Larson drove a nice consistent race and took care of his tires. It would have been interesting to see how good of a race it would have been between Elliott and Larson if Elliott could have caught him. Catching someone is one thing but passing them is another.

Track position is king.
But the second pit stop at the start of the stage was super questionable.

He would've made quick work of Larson all things equal. Fastest lap of the race by half a second is a pretty glaring difference.

a race of mistakes and Larson didn't make many. Elliott was coming from the rear all day and did a hell of a job finishing second after all of the messes he was in.

That's not the way the game is played here at RF. If you win the driver is awesome and if you lose the crew sucks.

I was so interested in the 5 / 9 runs today I forgot the 48 was even in the race. That team sure went backwards fast today. Good Job with a P-6 finish for the 24 team though.

Didn't make any at all, and that's 100% on Cliff, imo. Was super conservative and showed patience the final 10 laps of the race as Cliff was more or less reading off the math to him, cheerleading, and keeping him from getting to excited. He's a great guy to have on the box and has A LOT to do with Larson's success this season. I think he's the best CC at HMS right now.
Very much Chad K like in that "we need X lap times". As Chase was closing in from 10-5 seconds, there were a few laps where Larson just popped off a lap where he was 0.5 faster than he was the few laps prior. And as soon as Chase got around Truex, Larson picked up another half second.
Chase was better at that mid part of the run, but Larson was leaving time on the board, as there was concern about tirewear.

I commented on this earlier when Larson, Elliot and Byron were all running top 5.
