I’m frustrated by the ongoing conversation about Ford's "struggles" when, in reality, Chevrolet has faced even greater challenges. Aside from Hendrick Motorsports, consider the following: Trackhouse has generally been underwhelming, RCR has performed terribly, JTG's performance has significantly declined this year, and Spire has been dismal apart from Hocevar. Kaulig Racing has consistently placed around 30th. Outside of Hendrick, Chevrolet's performance has been dreadful.

I really hope, SOON, we get a wet weather policy in place, where NASCAR is not making up the rules as we go. Most importantly I want the teams to be able to competitively pit for new wet tires when they want, or take the chance to slicks. NASCAR stock racing in my opinion sucks out so much strategy with stages, competition cautions, etc... and the wet weather tire has come along, but they need to spend the money to test properly, and lay down a rule book. Stock the car, not the racing.
@shadytnu242 ай бұрын
I would love to see that too, but as the NBC booth mentioned on the broadcast, competitive pit stops under wet conditions on pit road literally puts a couple hundred lives at imminent risk. Yes, there is risk in dry conditions as well, but it goes up exponentially when pit road is wet. That said, my biggest question was, since NASCAR knew the traffic on the track would aid in the drying process, once the big puddles of water were off, did they not bring the air titans down to dry off Pit Road? It would seem 1) that should be a higher priority since there would be less traffic there, and 2) with the comparatively small area to dry, it should be a process they could have accomplished under the several yellow laps they ran before throwing the green.

This was one of the most entertaining races of the year IMO. It was boring up until the rain hit, then we saw some insane racing. Josh Berry passed 16 cars in a couple of laps. I really wish NASCAR allows teams to make strategy on wet tires because that would be so much fun. NHMS in the wet reminded me of Bristol earlier this year. The Next Gen absolutely can race well on short ovals. You just need to change the tire/grip equation. Whenever there's rain or Bristol tires the racing is legendary.

Here’s the main thing. Whenever Larson is at his best, he’s untouchable. Literally nobody can match his level. But whenever he has a shot at winning, it goes different ways. He either gets there or other drivers find a way to take him out. Whenever they see Larson charging through the field, they know how dangerous he’ll be if he gets clean air. The price you pay for being the best is that other drivers will try to bring you down. Larson is nowhere near a dirty driver at all. If he starts crashing cars every week, then I would understand the frustration from other drivers by beating and banging with him. But it seems like Larson isn’t the type of guy to retaliate no matter how bad the incident was. But then again, how much more is he gonna let this happen? At some point, the tolerance level has to change. It’s just like the classic example of how much are you gonna let the bully pick on you. The more you tolerate, the more abuse you’re gonna take.

The crowd was very different for that race, also. I believe the time of year, which impacted the weather, brought a different feel.

As for the Groovy Guage, I am with you almost 100% (maybe 87%) on my part due to the unknowns and NASCAR not afraid to get their feet "wet" pun intended. We have to hand it to Nascar to roll the dice and play out the wet track scenario. Had it not been for team and fan's influence we may never have known the learning experience. There are times when you have to roll the dice by trial & error. Both NASCAR and its teams learned an insurmountable wealth of knowledge. Hopefully, we get to a point where a wet track becomes routine {within limits} and the crew chief makes the call in slick Vs tread!

Credit where due, the rain tires produced some surreal looking racing and I mean that in a largely positive way. What I wasn't big on was how race control just sort of did as they pleased -Red flag allowed off strategy cars like the 34/38 to fuel/change to wets while keeping position -Being stingy on changing tires, then turning around and letting them do so on the 2nd to last caution period (prior to that it was something vague like if you had an incident/tire blowout) -Barring any standard tires and letting people take risks like Eric said -Pit road stops while keeping position It just reeked of them trying desperately to set up a surprise winner for teams who historically have a bad pit crew record to make up for the crowd having to wait a long while and/or collect data for the tires

And they did it at the expense of the fans who were there. Most of us left because the race was considered official and a tornado warning was issued. Instead they decided to ignore it and just wait until the weather passed. Why not just wait till the weather passes on tracks with lights even though the race is considered official just to get the full length in?

3 SHR cars in the top 15 again. That's been trend over the last while. The races was great, but that were a lot of yellows on top of the red flag point. At least NASCAR didn't do like the FIA did at Le Mans last weekend, rain poorly down on the track, cars spinning out hitting walls.. and they penalized teams for putting wets of when the FIA still hadn't called it a wet track yet. I'm betting the FIA isn't paying bills for the damage caused by their stupidity...

For Kyle Busch, New Hampshire has been a love/hate relationship. He has won here before with Hendrick and Gibbs but also had several bad races. A few incidents include blowing right front tires in the Pedigree #18, wrecking while in the lead due to rain, which lead to Kyle hitting the pace car in frustration, a broken sway bar during the 2008 Chase that caused him to lose a big chunk of points, and today’s race where he was off the pace and not really in contention before crashing out.

I think Hendrick's success masks the problems that Chevy might be having right now. Think about all the drivers who haven't won races yet that people expect to win a race at some point. if they are Chevy Drivers, it's probably Chastain and Bowman, and that's it. The rest of them have not been nearly good enough to be considered potential winners. Spire is mostly being held up by Carson Hocevar (a rookie in 23rd), JTG is down almost 10 spots from what they were last year. RCR is getting decked hard, especially in recent weeks, and Kaulig is so bad that both cars are being beat in the owners points by Rick Ware's 51 (which is also within striking distance of surpassing Corey Lajoie). Ross Chastain hasn't won yet, and honestly hasn't really looked like he can win anywhere just yet. Suarez had an epic finish at Atlanta, but even he is frustrated with the performance he has had this year outside of that. Simply put, Chevy, without Hendrick, might be the worst of the three manufacturers in NASCAR right now.

The Busch RCR stuff reminds of when Bill Elliott went to race for junior johnson in 1992. Good results the first half of the year, absolutely fell apart the second half, then went winless the very next season. The same thing is currently happening with Kyle at RCR. Another case of nascar history repeating itself.

The race(after the rain) was great minus one aspect. Fans want to see talented drivers, display their skill in difficult and unfavorable conditions. And the best part is for the most part, they didn't go over line and turn it into a crash fest. However, Nascar needs to stop telling teams when they can or can't change tires. The strategy needs to stay with the teams. If Larson wants to put on slick tires let him. They can live with whatever consequences happen. It ruined a great aspect of the race. I really feel bad for Kyle Busch. Just not have his year. Looked like something just broke and sent him into the wall.
