Help me out guys. What did Denny Hamlin say? The only thing I have read is that he said "the Gen 6 cars were not as good as previous ones" and that "the cars would race in single file most of the day". Was there more to this? He was just stating what is pretty much the obvious. I don't get the $25,000 fine.
I think the France family must have told the Fox reporters to talk up how much passing there was today. The guys on Fox said several times how nobody could say the Gen 6 cars were not passing now. I didn't see it. There was a bit more than last week, but when a car gets ahead it just stays ahead. I truly thought that today might be a difference maker, but it seemed to be the same thing. Next week should be even less passing on a half-mile track.
I say if you can't pass, use your front bumper to get the guy in front of you loose and then pass him.
Don't wreck him, just rattle his cage.
I also think the fine was absurd.
These cars are a lot harder to pass with, in fact, it's too hard. The best car did not win today. Whenever Kasey got even close to Matt, his car would start to fall off. Basically, you get in front, and you will stay in front, which is not how it should be.
I say wait until the drivers get more seat time in these cars.
Maybe you guys should hitch a ride with this guy

Well, time for Bristol, one of the best tracks Pre 2007. Hopefully, this new car brings back the late 90's, early 00's beating and banging. Should be a good week as both my drivers have won at Bristol and both are top five in points.
