[DewChaser988]

I don't know what will happen, with little practice time, this package is an unknown

 

[Blaze]

Come on Chase, William, or Bowman!

 

[DewChaser988]

So far so good for this aero package

 

[DIDIT]

8 for 8 for the 10

 

[Pat]

Bowman's coming!!

Ut Oh... so was Menard.

 

[DIDIT]

Speeds?

 

[Kiante]

Its racey package so far, can't deny that.

Okay, its REALLY racey.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Cars look stable on the bottom even with someone on the outside.

 

[DIDIT]

10 for 10 for the 10

 

[Rafe hollister]

If the same driver wins all three stages, who transfers to the all star race?

 

[Mispeedway15]

My god I feel like I’m watching an old school NASCAR race. They might of done it

 

[DIDIT]

Look'n good so far

 

[Efisher131]

My god I feel like I’m watching an old school NASCAR race. They might of done it

Now they need to take the plate off and leave the aero kit

 

[DewChaser988]

Okay, I love this package, NASCAR needs to adopt this package permanently for 2019

 

[Pat]

Speeds?

170s and 160s

If you win a stage you're done.

No

 

[Kiante]

Good round.

 

[Pat]

Good job Bowman!!!

 

[Simple Fan]

Feels like they are racing at a short track.

 

[FearThe4]

I'm liking this package sofar and this might be the thing to do on all the mile and half tracks going foward.

 

[Blaze]

Pretty good so far. But long night of racing to go to see how truly good it works.

 

[DIDIT]

At least we saw some passing. These guys looking almost as good as the craftsman truck drivers.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Now they need to take the plate off and leave the aero kit

Yeah, it's much better than I feared but I'd still love to see the config without the plate.

 

[Acs]

I was wondering that too, I would assume whoever finished second in the stages

The winner of the stages goes off the track for the rest of the race.

 

[Mopardh9]

Yeah, it's much better than I feared but I'd still love to see the config without the plate.

Yes this

 

[Whiskyb]

so far I am impressed

 

[FearThe4]

Yeah, it's much better than I feared but I'd still love to see the config without the plate.

the plate maybe the reason this is working so well who knows.

 

[Acs]

Yeah, it's much better than I feared but I'd still love to see the config without the plate.

They really just need to bite the bullet, spend the cash, and develop a smaller engine. The lower speeds are great and what make this all work, but plates are a stopgap.

 

[Mopardh9]

No

 

[REBS31]

Corey LaJoie is the only driver to not take tires and still isn't first off pit road

 

[StandOnIt]

The Jones boy is rolling the dice

 

[Mopardh9]

I've been saying this for 25 years.

 

[Johali]

Chase lost 4 spots with a 16.6 pit stop.

 

[DaBiff1618]

We might get a super emotional Paul Menard win this stage

 

[StandOnIt]

i bet they are all watching Jones to see if clean air is worth it.

 

[Acs]

I've been saying this for 25 years.

They could have done it when the sport was rolling in cash in 2004... but no. We got the COT instead. Now money is much tighter, so it won't happen
