Finally we get to legitimately see COTA in the dry. Huge pressure on the 9 team this week imho

Eh, I know you're concerned but he hasn't won diddly squat this year nor finished in the top 5 and still sits in the points lead. They've been plenty fast enough most weekends, you just need a lot of stuff to fall your way at the ends of these things and it just hasn't happened yet.
 
Its also another Truck/Xfinity double header Saturday this weekend!
With NASCAR's evolution , this really is my most favorite addition.

If I was in attendance, I'd be a big fan. I dunno about at home. That's too much recliner time in one day.

I am mixed about the doubleheader. This past weekend in Atlanta I was by myself so I didn't mind spending the entire day Saturday at the track. But when I am with someone else its nice to have a little down time to relax and go out to eat.
At Atlanta I was at the track both days 8 - 8 getting my fill of NASCAR.

Then why the pressure?

When all of your teammates have punched their tickets already, the whole "people's champ" stuff only gets you so far and it's a road course. Nice bait though. How's YOUR boys doing? ;)

The recliner time is nice after working 75 hours but still even better with DVR

Yeah, good luck DVR'ing that X race Saturday.

More seriously, the problem with DVR'ing either part of a doubleheader is I'm not likely to watch the recorded race(s) before the Cup broadcast spoils it (them) for me.

The bigger issue is not being able to DVR and relying on the YouTube uploads Tuesday afternoon...it's great that the thumbnail shows the winner and says winner in video title.

3 out of the first five races have been won by Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick was first and second last year at COTA. Ya think a Hendrick car winning at COTA would be a surprise?

But I thought the only reason Hendrick was winning so much last year was because of the new car Chevy had last year? What's the excuse this year?
 
I didn't think I would ever say this but I'm actually looking forward to a road course race this weekend. :director:GO CHASE.

I've always been the opposite, love the road races. A lot of driver skill involved

I have become more and more excited about road races in the past couple of years but only with stock car racing because they bump and bang a little and make it exciting. F-1 and Indy car road racing still doesn't interest me at all.

Yeah the Xfinities after they went to the composite body ramped it up for me, now that the new Cup cars have the proper tools, I think road races in cup are going to take off. They had to tip toe around so much before and couldn't go for it as hard as they should be able to do now.
 
The low profile ( new ) tires should behave on the road course since
its never been an issue that much for sports cars. We shall see.
