M'ville RACE thread

Isn't that the 2nd time this year that Kenseth received service pointing the wrong way. LOL
 
JJ & Bowyer are usual suspects @ this race. Dale Jr usually good. Looks like Hamlin, Gordon, Kenseth, Kyle Busch & Stewart just missed this set up completely.

Hamlin even promised to win.

Gordon fans have been screaming to replace Gustofson after last year when he made bone headed calls race after race. This is his first major screw up this year. Of many I'm sure.

I like Gustafson.......I like his fiery demeanor and I think he's a good leader. Generally speaking, they have good cars. I think the 24 team has been better than it was with Letarte - who I don't think was the right hire from the start in 2005.

The most disappointing part is that their best year (Gordon and Gustafson) was their first. Even though they had 3 wins in 2011, they could have easily had 5-6. The lack of growth, inability to make good in-race adjustments, poor pit calls, inconsistency - this plagues the team. And to top it off, they've had some really rotten luck at times.

Today is a really bad day but perspective. They had a rocket last week. If you go to the next crew chief, there's no guarantees it will be an improvement. It makes you realize how few good crew chiefs there really are (or maybe how rare that chemistry is).

I agree 100%. They are fast, but in race decisions are lacking. And yes, they've had some terrible luck.
 
Gordon has a good short run car. He seems to be moving forward now but it dont last.
 
Oportune caution. Gordon was starting to fade.
