Las Vegas test 1/31-2/1

The first test was pretty similar to the Xfinity at Indy race I thought. There was a lead pack separated from the slower cars. IDK where KDB comes up with this sheet, he passed the second place car and was leading when they threw the caution. He ain't right.

Anybody that missed the practice and has the bandwidth

Right? He won the test. He oughta love the new package!
 
We still need to see the slow pokes in a real race but so far the skeptics have had their skepticism validated. Packs, flat footing and the removal of driver skill have been the highlights. I am disappointed that Nascar felt this was the way to steer the boat off the iceberg.

there wasn't any packs, I know you didn't see the test, but none of the skeptics as you call them have mentioned packs..
 
Good on NASCAR for doing a fairly high profile test in front of the mob.

I can't wait to see these cars roll out after the Daytona Festival.
 
and it was the first one without any adjustments and we all know the teams will be makeing with different springs shocks whatever. Loose is going to be fast. I know that much..front packer JJ tells me so.

Um, I just watched the replay and he dropped back behind about 10 cars halfway through the run and drove right back to the lead. I swear this guy must have a memory the size of a peanut. What the hell is he talking about? He just loves to run his mouth I guess, just like being the first one to Win in the COT he had to bash it on National Television and say it sucked. Like I said, he needs to go find something else to do.

No packs today but I think there will be to go along with the flat footing. It was really disappointing to hear what Kyle said as that has always been my greatest fear
 
It will be interesting to see what happens on the longer runs if the tires start wearing. Right now, on the shorter runs, I see single file racing mid to high line with it being very difficult to pass because no one wants to step out of line and risk being freight trained. I think you will need help to pass in the short runs.
But the long runs could be interesting if the tires wear. Also, if guys are able to conserve their tires early and then push to the front at the end of a longer run, that would be cool.
Tire management like we used to have, would be cool!

Brian France said the CoT was a mistake and Kyle just told the truth about it. The CoT did irreparable harm to Nsscar and the fan base so saying it sucked was mild

The only packs you will see is at the tracks that have had them since 1988

Not my point, my point is he ran his mouth on national TV and hurt the sport, you got a problem, go see the man and talk in private. He cant help himself I guess.

Sounds a lot like single file Daytonia

Kyle didn’t hurt the series but oh boy did that abomination of a car. How many people do you think stopped watching Nascar because Kyle said it sucked?

He actually said he easily moved through the field but once he got into 2nd, getting by the leader was very difficult, which isnt a terrible thing.

Not by what Jeff Gluck quoted, he said he got to second and couldnt pass.

No packs... Just everything else in his post!

There will be pack drafting with a full field guaranteed. Only question is how big? The whole package is predicated on the DRAFT.

You had said Kyle had hurt Nascar when he said the CoT sucked and all I was wondering was if you could quantify it. No problem whatsoever.

For those who was following the stream, this may have been why @BubbaWallace got passed for the lead. He got lucky…this could have been big.

I'll expect you to come on here and admit you were wrong after the Vegas race. You will not see Daytona and Talladega type races no matter how many times you say it.

Hopefully there won’t be any pack racing or long single file funeral processions. I will watch it and check it out but based on what Kyle and Clint said today it’s not looking really good. We’ll see.
