Huge Ford Racing fan, Mechanical Engineer by profession. There are only three types of people in this world Dicks, Pussies, and Assholes. I identify as a Dick.

@bobpockrass Sucks for Josh, this combo started off with a lot of promise. The current Ford car / body lacking downforce and balance definitely didn't help but at the end of the day he DNF'd way too much.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@bobpockrass I get it if he's the future they want to get him seat time but honestly a RC ringer makes way more sense from a performance/ owners points perspective.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

Someone finally doing to Dale what he did to everyone else. I remember this so vividly, I was laughing my ass off.

Wayback Wednesday!

2000 - Jeremy Mayfield scored his second career Cup Series win after performing the "Bump and Run" on Dale Earnhardt.

@supercars Why would he want to drive an RCR 🐌 anyway? SVG got to run for a team who was winning RC races with Chastian and Suarez.

@t1mmy_88 @lmm2996 So many people think NASCAR still embraces innovation. They do not realize how controlled it is now. Outside of something egregious, you're just racing eachother from rollout (say 90%) to fully optimized (~99%). The first 5% is easy the last 5% is hard.

@mikergore @FordRacing @NASCAR Sad day but maybe it will be a wake up call to the higher ups. Also significant changes coming, hopefully they are good.

@A_S12 @NikkeiAsia So a go kart?

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@Kriswalker61 @48bowmanfan The amount of people who think this is old NASCAR & the teams have a lot of levers to pull is astonishing. It's actually the opposite now, the longer they run this car the more the better car will shine, the teams can find early advantages but then hit terminal velocity.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@t1mmy_88 @jimfarley98 @sweepstakes1901 So they can say they did something. To be fair you need everything at MIS so the teams do usually bring their best engines. But I didn't see anything significant on restarts or down the straights today. It was all in the corner.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

At least the Ford brass will get to witness how 💩 their equipment is firsthand tomorrow at Michigan. The fact that @jimfarley98 and Mark Rushbrook seem to be content with a participation trophy is infuriating. I'm sure @sweepstakes1901 hates it. Definition of insanity.

@millydripdrop Because Toyota is the fattest Hog come slaughter right now, and the France family loves to eat if you know what I mean.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

Erik Jones confirming it's organic Toyota body line superiority. Don't let the NASCAR simps gaslight you into thinking it's R&D & finding new grey areas. No, that is not how it works anymore, it's getting the best mouse trap to have the NASCAR stamp of approval.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@Scoots71 @bobpockrass They used to always take them to windtunnel too, same reason, no shortage of resources.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@kellisfh Also if every OEM got a clean slate to redo their body every year. But instead the body changes are supposed to be tied to a street model change, and the only evolutions that are allowed in between are changes to the hood louvers.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@kellisfh 100% & all they needed to do was.... checks notes: come out with a new assessory kit for a '23 model car. Instead of NASCAR doing their job & rebaselining the cars as they evolve. I'd feel differently if NASCAR wasn't constantly changing the rules / inspection practices.

[Bob Pockrass @bobpockrass]

When NASCAR started making changes to cars in Nov/Dec with window aero ducts, change in exhaust, some other cooling options, it changed some wind tunnel numbers (Ford ended up needing a tweak prior to the season) so they decided to let everyone resubmit nose/hood tweaks for 2023.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@mikergore They made them reradius the corners of the nose before the '22 season even started.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@Kriswalker61 Toyota top 3 in Chevy ans Ford's back yard, embarrassing to say the least.

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

@Rayeezee It's easy to drive fast cars fast

[Jay Stone @JayStonePeMech]

JRG, Spire, 23Xi (JGR JR), Spire 🤔 maybe there is something to that lawsuit 😂
