His body probably imploded…….

@Vibrant I agree with you; both drivers started out their careers with their manufacture struggling and I agree with you about Cindric’s crew-chief. I think he needs Brian Wilson back. Byron got Chad Knaus in his second year and started performing. Once Ford improves and Cindric gets another crew-chief (especially Brian Wilson) I think he’ll improve greatly.

Byron didn’t really do bad in his second year, he may have only gotten in by about 40 points to the playoffs, but he did nearly make the round of 8 as well as was close to getting wins at Pocono and Michigan. Keep in mind he was only 21 when he started.

I do see your point tho. Cindric has been having a rough time this year but no way he doesn’t deserve his car. He earned that Daytona 500 win and his other top 5s at the superspeedways. He still is only 24 and is managing to compete for the playoffs. Only 51 points out, so if his crew chief figures out how to make cars that work on road courses and Cindric doesn’t get caught in the big one at Atlanta and Daytona, I think he still makes it in.

It’s also kind of interesting to note both of these drives having bad career starts have came from their manufacturer struggling, even if it is more minuscule in Byron’s case.

Pretty sure its hard enough already just to put up those concrete walls onto city streets not designed for it. I promise you if anyone gets injured in the cup series it’ll more than likely be the cars fault not the walls

Dead on impact

@Austin_Windric he’s a Hendrick fan let it go. he’s to stubborn to admit Byron struggled in 2018

@mkwrockers0099 I’ll agree about Cindric not getting top 15s this year, but as a rookie he ran top 15 a LOT. Byron as a rookie had only 4 top 10s and 9 DNFS, but was decent in his second season.
