Only 2 Cup regulars… and one has to be Hamlin.

Oh well, had the potential to be a good NXS race.

Sorry, I watch a lot of PBS kids with my daughter, so I always think of him when she watches this video.

Team Xtreme opened rear gate of hauler, saw car was actually there, declared "Successful first practice" and called it a day. #nascar

I would guess that the reduction in horsepower is offset by the smaller rear spoiler. Also the engine guys continuing to improve anyway.

The cornering speed is similar because the cars still have way too much front end downforce.

Result = another year of crappy racing.

The only hope I have is if Goodyear bring tyres that wear out, or a super hard tyre that offers very little grip. Otherwise, I'll only bother to watch the short tracks, road courses and plate races. I find myself recording and fast forwarding through so many of the races now. :(

Atleast Xfinity qualifying isnt today...theres massive issues getting cars through Xfinity tech.

Also I have a bit of hope for this package..cars going similar speeds with a shorter rear spoiler might make the racing a bit better.

I know, how will we get over the chance to have the race in the background, not pay attention to it, then bitch about how shitty it was?

By watching Ant and Dec.

On second thoughts I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a rusty screwdriver.

Oi. I'll have you know I only bitched about Kyle Bush, and seeing as he kindly but unnecessarily brutally removed himself from competition this year, I was looking forward to simply having MOTORSPORT TO WATCH.

MOTORSPORT. WOO.

Still no SAFER in some areas where it would be useful.

Surprised those expert commentators in the booth didn't make note of the fact that McMurray ran a full lane higher than everyone else in 1 & 2 on his lap.
