Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

This track is on higher altitude, so less horsepower, might be better on other tracks.

Rule of thumb if I remember right is you lose 2% horespower per 1000ft of elevation. Las Vegas is at 2000ft so around a 4% HP loss. On 610 HP is ~24hp. So you could say 25hp less.

Bell and Burton both around.

Bell around

Burton goes in sympathy

Bouncey

This race will go out in infamy. For so many cautions. The drivers won't spin as much after they get used to the car, make better setups and what not. But right now it's looking like a low SOF NIS race.

Bell's bouncing low rider had me laughing

I'll say one thing, I'm actually tuning in for most NASCAR races for the first time in years. It's all in the amount the cars are moving around and how much the drivers have to finesse them through a corner. Seeing that back in the sport, I can deal with all the other gimmicky stuff like stages, repair clocks etc. I can even almost deal with Danica in the booth.

She gets a lot of hate cause she's Danica but she's alright in the booth imho.

This race has been fun to watch so far, even if the amount of cautions is a bit extreme.

Custers gone pop

I think she enunciates well which is more than you can say for most NASCAR commentators, but she seems to know less about the new car than I do and weirdly has even forgotten most of what she remembered about the old car; I hear her making Indycar more than stock car analogies. I like commentators that are there for a specific purpose; either they're play by play or they're bringing a specific perspective, whether it's driver, crew chief, team owner, whatever. In that sense Danica's role isn't really clear IMO.

Hamlin spun around. No Caution out for it.

Few second later, caution now out for Hamlin stopped on track.

Hamlin messed up with the shifting, oops. Muscle memory...

No gears

Only 31 to go, it has blown by.

battle for the lead

FOX: lets cut to replays

I can't think of any other motorsport broadcaster that would cut away from a battle for the lead so close to the end of the race. Baffling.

Wow, change of pants for Bubba
