He was wrecking that last 1/8th hung on for dear life.

Dinger is good little driver, I just think he's always had awful equipment and that gets mixed with his short temper.

That’s for sure

The ending isnt shaping up to be very exciting with Suarez trying to run down Harvick...

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Hey look, Harvick won.

 

[eVOLve]

Hey look, Harvick won.

That car is tricked out. He was sandbagging to make it not evident and still won 3 stages.

 

[hog88]

And NASCAR takes another step towards irrelevance.

 

[Vol$_Deep_11_9]

Thought the reaching was a step in the right direction. Harvick just can't be beat right now. Don't matter if it's racing or underwater basket weaving

I truly believe that...sixth win this year.

Yeah... I'm all about a ford running things but this is ridiculous.

Goes in cycles. Ford dominated early 00s. Chevy dominated mid 00s. Toyota dominated late 00s and early 10s. Chevy dominated mid 10s. Now Ford is dominating again.

A Ford is dominating. It's one driver

A Ford is dominating, you're right in that statement but as a whole, Ford has been the most consistent across the board IMO.

They have, no doubt. They make up the majority of the top 10 every week. However, a couple of the top Ford drivers have yet to win this year. Talking about Kurt and Brad. The main reason is that the 4 car is on a completely different level than everyone else. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with 12 to 13 wins before it's over. It kinda reminds me of Elliot in 85. They've found something that nobody else has.

Your Elliot reference is a bit before my time but I don't disagree with anything you've said at all. There's something they've hit on that nobody else has figured out yet. Brad has been in position to win a time or two this year and things just didn't go his way. Kurt has been decent but not in contention for a win like you said.

I can't believe how bad HMS has been this year honestly. I get it's a new body and need some time to work with it but they just haven't had any speed.

I vaguely remember the 1998 season but Gordon won 13 races that year. I’m assuming this was peak Gordon hate for Earnhardt fans

Drew you okay?

The Gordon hate was at a fever pitch from about 95 to 2000. Not just among Earnhardt fans.

Busch is the only driver in NASCAR's modern era to win a points race at every NASCAR track on the schedule.

11 to go and all of the big 3 are in the top 4. Shaping up to be a great finish, which never happens at Pocono

 

[jhen713]

They needed a restart about every 20 laps. Once they got single file after 2 or 3 laps there wasnt much passing. Wish they would try the xfinity package in pocono 2.0. I think it would work better at pocono and indy than at the 1.5 ovals.

To me the strategy makes Pocono somewhat intriguing. But it's usually a snoozer

I wouldn't mind seeing it at a few other tracks myself. It definitely made for a better race.

NASCAR will not use All-Star aero package again this season in Cup – NASCAR Talk

Think they said it's definitely in play for next year. I'm alright with that, it'll make it more exciting.
