CoT Fan

A NASCAR fan that occasionally reminiscences on NASCAR’s Car of Tomorrow.

Some bad predictions for the #NASCAR season:

1) Cory Heim impresses with a T10 in the 500 and averages top-20 finishes in cup

2) RCR is alot more competitive

3) Hendrick has a down year

4) RFK continues to struggle

5) The car will still suck at non-1.5 mile tracks

@22giacheriJ @b_enson94 That is wildly false, couple races off the top of my head:

2012 Aaron’s 499, 2015 all star race, half the 1.5 milers in 2015 and Martin truex’s semi-legal car in 2017. Just looking it up the first result i get is Truex aero blocking at homestead in 17

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@b_enson94 What we have now suffers from a lack of horsepower and ungodly wide tires. Aero-wise Gen,6 was a nightmare

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@LucasTA62 Bruh people absolutely hated the CoT up until last season. Hell I remember a few years ago when the genuine sentiment was that the Xfinity car was “vastly different” from the CoT.

Granted, younger people remember the car a lot more fondly than the boomers

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

I see people wanting the CoT back, which is great! However, there are also people saying that we need the Gen6 back.

Let me be crystal clear, the Gen 6 was the worst car #nascar ever ran in any series. It was so much worse than what we have now in every way.

@lmm2996 They’re just getting to a place where the part costs are “stable”. Can’t imagine we get a new car until the early/mid 30’s

@nascarhornypd I always knew it was you @bobpockrass

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@BrakeHardBlog Not to fuel it, but there are a couple of charters for new manufacturers. NASCAR could grant those to a new BK-led team… still very thin though

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@48bowmanfan @joey22fan22 You keep saying that, just because Twitter people think he’s taking over doesn’t make it reality.

Obviously given the situation, Roush didn’t view him as the successor

[Stephen Mallozzi @drivermallozz]

I hate beating a dead horse but it is unbelievable that NASCAR doesn’t want this product on Sunday’s. I am so much more interested in the O’Riley racing product. Just so fun to watch.

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@KingPoopigan Uhhh no

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@KensethFan17_20 @StartAndParkCar YES

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@ndegroot89 Knowing all about Roush and Fenway, I can’t say I’m too surprised. Press conference confirmed it, they didn’t want to pay Brad what he deserved for getting that team to where it was. What a shame

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

Ergo, “Get him out of the building”.

So sad for Brad, he doesn’t deserve this

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

More from Chip Bowers:

-- Reiterates RFK continues to search for a third charter and has the money to buy it
-- Brad Keselowski will not be held to any non-compete clauses and is free to drive or another Cup team, own another team or lead competition for another team.

What a finish!! #nascar

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@Knighter01 Drivers need to get paid too! Haas probably had cheaper drivers to put in

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@MattWeaverRA Good for Creed! He deserves a shot in cup, but having him at SHR will be good for him

[CoT Fan @COT_Defender]

@STaranto92 This is between Ford and Roush. Ford didn’t like BK being upset about not being the top tier team and Roush is an asshole.

BK will be in a dodge next year
