I would argue the finish was actually a good thing. One issue with the Next Gen car, is the top 25 running simular lap times and nobody can pass or move up, except through strategy. That’s not a good product.

Passing was good by road course standards. Guys could get away if they were better. Those are good things.

We don’t want parity of lap times with this car. We should want parity of opportunity for the race teams but not parity on the race track, as that typically makes for poor racing. Comer and goers are a good thing.

I know he had the caution that hurt him, but Todd Gilliland is still out running Zane Smith in a Rick F**king Ware car and Gilliland is still tip 25 in points. I hope to see Gilliland get an SHR next year.

In reply to JJA1987. Please tell me your joking. It’s the 2nd best RC we have. It’s way better than an embarrassing wreckfest at Cota or one of the Rovals and the Chicago SC is going to be a disaster. A clean race with strategy is most certainly not a bad race

When I heard Mike Joy keep saying Stewart beat Truex for the win in 2016 I was like wait, what!!!! That’s not correct Mike, It was Tony Stewart beating Denny Hamlin for the win in 2016 not Truex.

By the way fewest cautions for a Road Course in a real long time, I think its been since 2019 there was only just 2 cautions in a race for the Cup series, and yesterday’s race had the fewest for a road course race in 2011 for Xfinity and fewest they’ve had in a long time too in general.

Yeah I too didn’t like Bowman’s paint scheme this week, but they didn’t mention it during the race. so that’s a win for me.

In reply to JJA1987. Why? It's a good track. Sometimes, a race, just needs to be a race.
