Playoffs/South Point 400 Pre-Race Thread

Childress must have screwed up and gave Ross the good engine. Fastest in practice. Buescher is looking good.

5 car fastest in 10 lap avg in practice. Probably will have winning speed again. Hoping for a top 10 qualifying effort..

Win won't be necessary, but with the 11 looking a bit off, hoping to build a point gap on the 17, and close in on the 11.

Curious if anyone knocks out a sub 29 in second group.

5 car looks like a rocket ship.

Makes you wonder what the game plan was this weekend and how similar the 9's setup is to the 5's.

5 comes down pit road feeling like there's a RR going down, 9's RR goes down seconds later.

Possible explanation in post # 14 ….

”Getting the rear end of the Next Gen car out of the air and sealed off is the goal, and one way teams do that is by running less air in the rear tires.”
 
Field doesn't need the 24 on the pole. With the luck and execution, the likelyhood of them running 4th all day, then getting the lead off of pit road with a late race yellow, like in March, is super likely lol

That's his MO. He either dominates or runs just close enough to keep in touch and take care of the car for the end.

He hasn't really dominated any of his wins, outside of the Glen, and while he lead the most laps at Vegas in March, Larson was faster and had it wrapped up, if not for the yellow with 4 to go.

Byron and the whole 24 team have gotten here by executing with what they have and being ridiculously opportunistic. Does not have the raw speed as the 5, 24, or the 19 this season, so this execution can only carry them into the finale, imo, unless they find that tiny bit of speed they've been lacking

It’s very liberating knowing I have a Sunday free with time to do whatever I want! No race to commandeer my time.

*sobs* please make it stop. Just end it already…. 🤣😭

Yes, but I'm not talking about results, or Byron and the 24 team's execution. I'm talking raw pace in the cars.

For a one off championship race, all your stuff in your best car, I find it easier to pick the fastest car, regerdless of results, as champion.

11/5 look to be the fastest still

Motored up the 15 in the cool of morning, I like seeing the sun come up on the desert 🏜 , and the dodge has still got it fellas going into a head wind. Downed a couple egg mcmuffins and now ready for my pre-race nap at the track
