Yeah I think you hit it square on the head. The track is going to change a lot. It being an impound race the first stage should go to the trimmed out cars. The question is can they or do they have enough adjustment built in when it gets dark to be able to get more downforce. Obviously Truex's bunch has more downforce dialed in and the Hendricks went for way less.
Yea, I wonder when Hendrick will shut this team down due to lack of funding. I doubt they make it past Daytona. Ain't nobody gonna sponsor the 5 team.
I'd like to think that, but it's hard to know. Maybe Hendrick is that good? I am ready to find out. Enjoy this great race!
This season is testimony to the fact that performance cannot simply be measured in wins and points. Larson has been the best by far IMO. If I was a Larson fan, I would be very happy right now. He will only get better. I never say **** like this, but I am not wondering if he can win a championship with Hendrick, I am starting to think how many....Everybody relax, Larson will be and do, just fine tonight at Charlotte. Trust me,
hide an watch
Yes. I don't buy the "he's used to shorter races" crap. Not for a second. I also don't think he has a race craft issue. He knows what the hell he is doing.
Million dollar question.
Toyota should've never let that man walk
They created a whole development program because that happened. It is what it is.
For those who are concerned about those kind of things
If you are having a hard time grasping that Larson and car has been out front leading over a thousand laps this year is having a hard time finding sponsors? So be it.
And for all the 99,000 posts talking about how amazing he is he doesn't have the most wins on his team and is tied with Michael McDowell for wins this year. Pressure will really be on him when Chase dominates Sunday
Also, talk about bandwagoners. Most people disowned him as a human being and wanted him out of the sport a year ago. Now he's AJ Foyt
Come on why would anyone here listen to Rick Hendrick? You and I both know he doesn't know as much about his racing teams then us members here do.

Really surprised to see you this supportive of a non TRD driver.
I am not sure I would use the word "supportive."
I want MY guys to kick his ass, but Larson's competitiveness right now is undeniable. I get a huge rush out of the challenge now of chasing him down. Kyle battling the HMS crew was very intriguing all night long last night on so many levels.
Indeed. When he said he wasn't trimmed out for qualifying, I had hoped he was lying. He wasn't.
While I'm a Byron fan I have always liked Larson as well, and tbh he's starting to look more like a version of Jeff Gordon (who also came from open wheel etc) than Kasey Kahne. I understand he is not yet a champion, but this is also his first season in cars anywhere near this good, and look at how that's gone so far.
The people who say drivers don’t have any personality don’t listen to the scanner.
You even have Bowman out there bitching about Harvick.
What did Harvick do to rile Bowman up?
I will make another point about this....at that time, TRD was not in the business of developing drivers as I mentioned. In fact, they were quite against it. I believe that they shopped him, but there were no takers because he didn't bring money.....except Chip. I don't think Larson would have ever left Chip because of that. I am wondering if Chevy has finally ponied up a PSA....or maybe Jim Campbell claims him after he wins the championship.
Yeah, unfortunately this is fiction though lol. There's a verified team account on Twitter and this got posted by a copycat account.
****. I will go back to hating Chase again. Just freaking kidding. Thanks for the correction!
