The best part was after the race getting congrats from the driver, CC and teammates, I choked up again but tried to gain my composure so I get it and Bubba got the best advice form Pruitt, you are here for a reason, suck it up and dont doubt yourself.
Thanks bud
Get used to it. You’ll be seeing more and more of him very soon.
Well in fairness, Jr was 5 years older,no wins yet. Man at this point Dale Jr had two wins! BUST!
Just trolling lol
Psh facts like that shouldn’t matter to Bobby! Hell this man has used the amount of wins Kyle Busch has compared to someone with 75% less starts. All he cares about is wins!Well in fairness, Jr was 5 years older,
That's your opinion. Dillion was racing him like an idiot. Larson had nothing to loose, he's in the Chase, pissed off at himself and here is this jackwad messing with him who needs points and position way more that Larson does.
Good times.
What's the context for this statement? What's the "same thing"
I have some patients that work for teams and media in the sport, and one I trust told me it's F1 now. There's no improving over the weekend due to the setup box being so small. He said you could make minor gains, but if your sim program sucked that week and you unload 15th fastest, you're going to run 15th and there's very little you can do about it. One more strike against this POS car imho, but it is what it is. He said the "we unloaded junk and took big swings at it and now look at us!" days are over. Chase killed himself on Saturday, and Alan just shoveled a heap on dirt onto the grave.
The tone I pick up is that Chase has lost all confidence and Alan is kinda done with him. At least Alan feigns confidence and swagger on radio. There's definitely a sense that they're both tired of and blaming each other but they never have the needed Jimmie/Chad blowup.
"Same thing" I think was staying on same pit strategy as everyone else. He made his move with the initial undercut and gained 3-4 spots. What the hell he was doing staying out here I have no clue. They weren't gaining, in fact he had burnt his stuff up and was in free fall so pitting would have made sense. Maybe they were hoping for a caution? If so, dumb because at a road course it hurts you to pit alone. There needs to be a shakeup.
They were 8 balled months ago when Chase fell off the snowboard
It's a hard concept for some to realize that for whatever reasons their driver isn't going to make the playoffs. In Elliott's and about 4 other drivers case, it doesn't matter if they do make the Chase.
And getting himself suspended didn't help things.
Just like McDowell. It's a feel good story, but he has a snowball's chance in hell. Much like Chase. Heck, outside of Byron, Larson, and Truex I don't know of anyone who does stand a legit shot.
Perhaps more than 15 minutes of practice would help with that a bit.
Eh I think the lack of HP affects short tracks and road courses more so because the margin is so so slim
That's totally what I gather. Alan has been in this job a long time, much longer then Chase was even IN NASCAR, nvm cup. First championships are hard to duplicate. Alan sounds burnt out, Chase has no confidence. I agree.
When you are behind you cant stay on the same strategy with the people in front, if you do you have no chance so you roll the dice and try to one up them, sometimes it works other times, snake eyes!
