Im baffled. First weekend in the car and hes doing this. The talent is unreal.
Still has to survive the GWC though! |

I don't know if he asked for softer rear or sway bar or just his heel-toe but the rear just doesn't hop so he's hitting the apex on the throttle instead of brakes and ready to go on his own. But he's definitely seeing the track and setting the car better for the rough course

Chance for Chase to use the chrome fiber horn?
Probably not, those tires are OLD behind him How many GWC we betting on? Doubt they can do 3 but can they make it a lap now without a wreck? |

I think they gotta try to put him back in for the remaining 3 road courses if he can make it
The Bend round conflicts with Glen, and Bathurst the Roval so no |

They really really wanted to add that N in there didn't they. Must be a lot of Supreme Court fans and RBG fans

SVG said he went full send on some. Freaking awesome. I wish NBC showed from 18th to 3rd, but I guess I'll take what they showed me. Incredible. I hope someone puts together a video of it.
Chase just said that SVG "gonna go home and tell his friends how bad we are". |

An incredible job, very special performance. Didnt make a single mistake either.
I actually quite enjoyed the circuit i have to be honest. On paper it looked terrible but i dont think it was too bad. |

Great race and great to see SVG grab the win!
The track exceeded my expectations. I hope it's not a one-off and I also hope NASCAR adds more street circuits in the future. |

Having just watched basically 7ish hours of racing today, Mid-Ohio, Austria then Chicago I think I have to say the Cup race was the best of the three. None were terrible, Mid-Ohio maybe a bit meh and Austria well F1ey but not bad, but this was fun and truly interesting as to who would survive. And the 75 lap limit changed it some and would have rather had the leading pack pit and then they made the call to shorten but in the end that guy made it through anyway.

I caught a bit of MRN and they had it down correct. Professionals, they are.

This is interesting.
https://twitter.com/marshallpruett/s...SDNC3TKag&s=19 Going forward what it means IDK but it was the coolest race I've seen in years for the Cup series. It still had some questionable "race control" calls but fun stuff. |

It's very weird to see in motorsports folks have such a huge variance in his the race was received compared to "mainline" media. Most of the papers made it sound like the race was a total waste and prolly received, motorsport writers all seem like it was well received by all parties.
I'm hoping it becomes a thing, it seems they can get both sides of fans in the gates. Fancy pants folks get to stay at fancy places and have good suites to watch, and the rest of us can watch from fences and stands. Could be good for Nascar but not so good for tracks |

Doesn't his wife have some ownership interest in the team? If true would be fun dinner conversation leaving. And it was rumored his contact only limits another Supercars team, leave the series and he's free and clear
