Overall that was fun even though it was boring. Great to have DW, Mike, and Larry in the booth and be back at this track. I'm a sucker for nostalgia

Has to be so weird to kiss your wife, open your eyes, and see Brad Sweet with long hair.

Heebie jeebies

I'm a sucker for nostalgia

Yeah, me, too. Especially since I remember most of what happened "way back when". *sigh*

 

[Switchback]

Disappointed in the 29 car, no point in bringing it back for that performance.

This place is awesome, put it on the schedule! Trying to manipulate excitement rarely works and it didn't tonight but It could just as easily been beating and banging to the checker.

Problem is nostalgia alone has a short shelf life and unless NASCAR can fix the short track package, NWS may find it's revival not lasting long.

Brad Sweet is a nice looking young man.

Might as well repave it at this point

Pretty sure I heard that the plan is to repave it before next season

 

[StandOnIt]

But this was a frequent thing "back in the day."

Yep, it happens more often than not

Overall, I enjoyed this weekend , had a smile the entire time , I really hope we get points paying race here, but damn, this new car still sucks on short tracks.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Bubba with the louvres hahahaha

 

[donthaveanickname]

Larson is just pretty damn good.
Please make this a 500-lap race when it becomes a points race.

 

[StandOnIt]

Reddick said we could kinda stay in touch. He was 7 seconds behind lol.

[carolinabuff]

As mentioned earlier, this race could've played out much differently without the fabricated caution at the midway point

 

[hmmm298]

You know I think this was great the way it is and I’d usually rather no big gimmicks, but. This race would have been a hell of a time for something like we had a few years ago with the “option” tire that gave extra grip etc.

 

[Efisher131]

This car fixed the mile and a half tracks and absolutely ruined EVERYTHING else

 

[Revman]

Looks like a jailbreak @Revman

On the edge of your seat for weeks ready to use that one. Not bad.

Quite literally swapped problems from the last car

Lapped half of the preachers cars braaaa

Track good.
Tire fall off good.
Car needs work.

It was a clinic by Larson, but the car needs work.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I was looking at the results at NASCAR.com ---- the list doesn't include Josh Berry or Ty Gibbs. ???

Yep, the car will always need work, that is what they do.

I posted the results from Nascar.com above. They were on there when I posted it here.

I'm curious to see what will happen next year in terms of changes. It's just smaller, nibbling things that is holding the car back.

I don't work at the R&D center though, I trust those men and women will find solutions.

Great exhibition win for him.

Berry is listed under HIM, per Andy

 

[BobbyFord]

Doubt it.

Logano.

Not a good night

Yeah I posted a clip of Harvick talking about the car. He said he has never seen the level of input from the drivers that they have now. It's good. Changes take longer though with teams not being able to fix things quick with the setup they have now.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I'm sure they were. But right now, there is no 9th or 15th place listed. Maybe I'm nuts.

 

[Naitch]

If NASCAR finds that Larson was cheated up in post-race and Bubba gets the win...

Might be time to delete Facebook and Twitter.

 

[aunty dive]

Not a good night

My attorney has already sent Logano a warning letter.

 

[RaceCritter]

I like Larson and Bubba. Neither result upsets me. But if HMS cheats then he’ll yes I want them to lose (not that they really would because NASCAR). As long as it isn’t Briscoe, Busch, or Byron I can sleep at night.

 

[aunty dive]

The much softer “wet weather” tires would have been a better choice.

No, I’m not kidding.

Wasted money

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Well that was damn cool. Probably one of the coolest experiences racing wise I’ve ever been to. I’m bummed I didn’t get to take many pictures, my phone battery has been funky this weekend. A huge wrong has been righted with Cup coming back here and I’m humbled I got to see it. Of course you log on here and see the “Muh Entertainment!!!” Crew out in full force.

They have settled their ilk on the car this week.
