@KyleWeatherman Blaney did try to block. Hocevar decided not to lift. Kind of a draw. Pit lane fight scorecard - by unanimous decision - and still heavyweight champion Carson Hocevar.
@6matthewmartin The Winston decal along with the Ford emblem is classic. It speaks to the North Carolina region and NASCAR. These touches make NASCAR ..... NASCAR.
@BoziTatarevic Have to go to Shapiroβs. Original deli style sandwiches - massive. Cafeteria style layout. Slices of pie as big as your head. Delicious.
@BoziTatarevic As a lightning expert - there are better methods to stay safe from lightning than the automatic 30 minute timer. I think NASCAR employed one of these techniques in a recent race. Technology for the win.
@markmartin I hope that you had something to do with this change. Even if it was a small part. You are making a huge difference in the sport. Thank you.
@BoziTatarevic@RoadandTrack Great article. @DaleJr wants to give the pit crew more to do. Let the teams make adjustments to the brakes during practice. Force the teams to make hard decisions during the race. Thatβs what racing is supposed to be.
@BoziTatarevic Clearly someone on the 5 team ran the aero effect of tape on top/bottom of the duct entrance. Maybe someone on the 9 team should wander over the 5 team side and take a look. π
@BoziTatarevic@SteveLetarte@ToddBGordon Too much cooling - big thermal cycling stress and eventually rotor cracks. Too little cooling - brakes go soft and eventually stop working. Sounds like fun.
@BoziTatarevic The Hendrick teams must talk about setups. The financial consequences alone should force it. How do two of their cars end up with such different outcomes in regard to brakes?
@JomboyMedia Maybe the Cardinals catcher can block the freaking ball. Eddings was hit in the shoulder and the leg with back to back bounced sliders. Only then did Eddings mention the hat to the catcher. Itβs the major leagues - catch the ball and protect the umpire.
Was Eddings getting hit by the prior 2 pitches just before the hat discussion? Is there any unofficial etiquette for the catcher - who called the pitch and then missed the pitch - to apologize? With the prior Cardinal challenge on 3rd base, and then taking 2 hard back-to-back sliders off the body would make any MLB umpire slightly upset. Then getting berated during pitching warmups by the Cardinals manager turned that moment into heated - and prolonged - argument that led to the manager getting ejected.
@mmalkoff Hey Mark - nice post. You can tell than Johnny thought the world of Bobβ¦.but didnβt want to follow in his footsteps. Different times, different generations.
@BoziTatarevic@23XIfan88 Digital can be monitored with the proper receiver. Something needs to be done to make the audio connections better. Wonder if some of the confusion in the pits is due to bad connections between spotter, driver, and crew.
