@VisualTreats @autosport No, this was the 2002 race where Michael “tried to go equal across the line” but everyone knows he was giving him the Austria win back.

@brettbphoto Logano was a champion with many race wins in 22 and probably didn’t need to move Byron. In 18, people wanted MTJ to walk it off for Furniture Row after “JGR shut them down.”

Hocevar is typically the underdog in his spats while also driving for an underdog team.

@MattWeaverRA 100%. I think almost every change in the last 365 has been centered on fans and racers, and it’s been a benefit to the industry. Drivers ALWAYS adapt and hopefully “the code” will quickly with a car that can pass. Look how quick the “Playoffs” go for broke mindset has been lost

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@MattWeaverRA I’m more thinking over the past few years, the attitude has had to shift. Drivers have adjusted to that mentality.

I agree the changes have been helpful and we’ve seen some great races, especially at the historical driver’s tracks, and St Louis is definitely in that category

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@StarsAndBars123 @On3 Oklahoma State lost to a bad Tulsa team so we can’t rank them, but we can rank Oregon who lost to them because they beat a good team in Boise State, but we can’t rank them because their only win is against Memphis.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@_DanielCespedes RFK basically looks like Brad’s results
WB look even worse for dropping Berry
Spire & Trackhouse swapped

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@bcschneider53 Matt Crafton, Erik Jones, and David Ragan earned the 2015 Cup Owner’s Title with Kyle Busch.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@BoziTatarevic @ndegroot89 Geesh, Ross is really dragging that thing forward compared to his teammates, but they’re so far off it doesn’t make a dent.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@MattWeaverRA Joey Logano has a realistic shot to win the title entering Homestead

Ty Gibbs finishes outside top 10

No one, but Brad Keselowski gets 2 2nd places

Christopher Bell wins 5 Chase races and has an average finish of 4.3 to beat Blaney, Hamlin, Logano, and Elliott.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@MattWeaverRA We hated the Caution Clock but it avoided these issues at least. I’m honestly okay with it coming back since the genie’s out with guaranteed ad breaks for TV.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@JeremyT429 @jeff_gluck It could. I was replying to your comment about stages. How often do we see mechanical failures today though?

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@JeremyT429 @jeff_gluck I think we would’ve been around 15. The Bowman incident trapped so many cars down 2 laps that their races were over without any luck swinging back the other way.

We also don’t have natural mechanical cautions anymore which balances out the false stage yellows.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@jeff_gluck That was a classic 90’s short track race. It would be a 95% if
A) Denny spun Joey across the line
B) A late race yellow led to Denny rattling Joey’s cage
C) Joey needed medical attention in victory lane due to heat
D) Denny pulled off a bump and run and Joey vowed to get him back

@NWCS_Standings 2 TRICON
2 Front Row
2 MHR
2 ThorSport
2 Kaulig

Pretty cool

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@ndegroot89 @fia I think more likely they didn’t want a 1-lap battery craze.

[Jim Rouse @JimRouse96]

@bobpockrass @NASCARONFOX Matt Kenseth got 1 in 2020…
