Imagine telling someone Ford would win 3 races in a row and NONE OF THEM would come from Penske or SHR

I’d be more surprised if one of the 3 wins was from SHR.

Let alone SHR still being winless at this point. Or Penske winless since the Coke 600.

Congrats to Michael McDowell for getting this win! Ever since he’s been doing great at these road courses, I’ve been waiting to see him get another win soon. What a day for McDowell along with the rest of the drivers who had great finishes like SVG! Looks like we got another road course race next Sunday with Watkins Glen! I’ll be keeping an eye on some road course guys.

McDowell no doubt deserved this win. He has shown that he can drive a race car really well in the past few months, and he has proven himself in NASCAR

FRM was wise to keep him next year.

He’s horrible! I Don’t know why the media pretends he’s a good cup driver. He belongs no higher than Xfinity. That Kroger money keeps him in Cup for some weird reason

It’s pretty cool to see the smaller teams really taking it to the bigger teams the last 3 weeks. The NextGen car might be doing a better job of providing a more even field for the teams with less funding than it gets credit for.

Reply
Hue August 14, 2023 at 1:35 am

And credit to Ford too. It looks like some of the Ford teams something and caught up to Chevy and Toyota despite the aero disadvantage.

Reply
Purwanti Allan August 14, 2023 at 12:01 pm

​@Hueyep. Seems like Gen 7 cars gonna reawaken the 2000s NASCAR days despite fans dont like NASCAR due to awful Playoff elimination format.

Reply
Easy E Network August 14, 2023 at 5:21 pm

True, and then Ford seems to have found some HP. They were pulling Chevy down the straights in this race.

Reply
Easy E Network August 14, 2023 at 5:22 pm

@HuePretty sure it is aero or HP. Probably HP and set-up. Not much you can do for aero unless you adjust the shocks and travel a certain way to enhance aero.

I would like to see Nascar continue their racing with the segment finishing points but no use cautions to reset the field like they do on the road courses now .

Kaysou August 14, 2023 at 12:49 am

Been saying it since around Gateway last year that FRM (McDowell specifically) was growing to be a legit contender. Glad to be proven right. Dude seems like a great guy and totally deserves it.

Reply
DC322 August 14, 2023 at 12:51 am

That wasn’t a bad race at all. The road course regs in the top three. McDowell, Elliott and Suarez. SVG picking up 10th today. Definitely he was holding his own. This was a crucial win for McDowell and FRM. McDowell was below the cut line but that win put him in the playoffs. Times running out for Suarez, Gibbs, Elliott, Dinger and Bowman. 8.8 out of 10.

Reply
Purwanti Allan August 14, 2023 at 12:04 pm

For me this is truly bad. No crash fests. 2.6/10!

Reply
Easy E Network August 14, 2023 at 5:35 pm

We all know Chase will be fast next week. He is easily a top 5 driver all-time at the Glen already with 4 straight top 5s there. And 2 wins and a runner-up finish.

Reply
Mike Kaylor August 14, 2023 at 12:54 am

Chase wasn’t going to catch Michael. Michael said he dialed it back in case they got a caution, and he didn’t want to burn up his tires, but when Chase started closing, he stepped it up and kept the distance.

Reply
Easy E Network August 14, 2023 at 5:32 pm

Yes, but Chase clearly had more car left after getting through the Chevy lapped cars. McDowell also said if Chase had gotten through traffic he burnt his stuff up and might have been toast.

John Irby August 14, 2023 at 1:05 am

It’s not common to see a driver/team having a perfect day in Cup. However, Micheal McDowell and FRM did just that today.

Hope Emma Verde in the #38 gonna win a race to shake the NASCAR Playoff pictures a lot more.

I am SO HAPPY for FRM and Michael McDowell! He won because they had the best car, the best speed, and the best driver today. For a guy like McDowell who has slugged it out as a journeyman for years to finally “break through” is just very exciting. I don’t really count the 500 win as best car best driver, but he is a Daytona 500 Champion and has now won at Indy. Really enjoyed this race today

Michael McDowell is underrated and deserves a ton of credit for the driver he’s become in the last 2 years in Front Row Motorsport equipment.

Reply
Easy E Network August 14, 2023 at 5:36 pm

Really, probably last 3-4 years. He has had to elevate bad equipment at FRM since he got there.
