@joe_srigley I'm sickened as a Sheldon and Sam fan, but Sheldon pushed him for 2 restarts. I can't be mad at him going for it. Had a massive push from 19 and that was probably his only chance. Just wasn't as good as the 7 & 41 today.
@jeff_dubuque@nazcarracing I think Todd gets a bad rap at times. You can see that when the car is there he can be competitive. Lawson gave him a chance at Bristol and he finished P6. Meanwhile Hutchens killed the 4 with bad adjustments and they went from 11th to 26th. Hope they adjust ๐
@nazcarracing@jeff_dubuque It's the crew chief. With Blick, 4 had speed for a lot of races last year. 34 has always been bad at quali with Chris Lawson, and he's really running the same as last year. This year the 4 is worse everywhere. Meanwhile Bergenty has always been fast on that 38
@BYNDmetropolis@willhill2136@STaranto92 So do you think it's possible, given the 7 (a JRM car) continues to score stage points at the rate he's scoring them... to close that points gap? No. You get as high as you can (probably 2nd) to give yourself a chance if 7 falls off in the chase. Not hard
@BYNDmetropolis@willhill2136@STaranto92 Giving up? He said their goal is to get back to 2nd for the points reset. 7 has been absolutely far and away the best this year. With how he's running, you're just not closing 200 points in 10 races. Be real
@BWrightRacing@21_WoodBrothers Fair enough. I'm a biased Zane fan of 6 years and I just want him at Penske. FRM is the 2nd tier, but if they can build winning speed around him in the 38, then I'd be glad for him to stay.
@pgh877@nazcarracing It's not competitive equipment at all outside of Zane. Gilliland typically runs like absolute dog shit even compared to Noah, but is lucky enough to not get totally junked so he grabs a 20th. At the end of the day, he's got a bad CC who doesn't give him a chance in this car.
@pgh877@nazcarracing Noah did fine in 2024 considering that was his first year running all the races. Would've been a 22nd (?) in points if you don't count Harrison Burton with that win. Idc if you don't like him, but he was good today. Crew chief puts him behind every race
@Noles5Nix@nazcarracing All they do is put Noah in bad spots with no plan. They should've pitted there to make sure they were good on fuel instead of riding in line for P21. Unserious, pathetic team
