He’s stood out at SHR!

Me too. I picked him for my top 16 and thought I may be insane when I did so.

Ford as a manufacture needs to get it going. I think they will this weekend, but, as a reference for how off they’ve been, Kyle Larson as a driver has more laps led than the entirety than Ford. Chevy’s 2nd most laps led in Byron is only 28 laps behind Fords highest driver in laps led with Logano.

Here’s my take with Berry: he always has problems that aren’t his fault, running 12th: gets cut off, running 7th, pit crew is slow, running 2nd, cars just get faster. I may be wrong but this is in my eyes

@gamez4420 April 19, 2024 at 7:14 pm

Bristol is the one place you could point to it being partially his fault, he seemed like he was one, if not the first of the competitive cars that would have to pit due to tire wear. Whether it was the car, or he just wasn’t saving the tires well enough is up in the air, but until we know otherwise we have to assume it was both

That’s the usual case for most rookies, they’ll run decent in the race to back down the leaderboard at the finish, it’s not an uncommon phenomenon. Also it’s racing, you should expect things like being cutoff or the occasional slow stop, these things just happen sometimes, but honestly I think Berry isn’t quite getting what the cars worth yet. And again, I want to emphasize the fact he’s a rookie, so him not fully getting what the car is worth, that doesn’t surprise me, it takes some time and experience in them to figure out how much the car can get and how much more you can get with it. I’d expect them to run better in the 2nd half of the season, he did have some starts last season but having 5-6 starts before your rookie season while helps, isn’t as big of a learning lesson as the first half of a rookie season. I think we will see something similar to Ty Gibbs rookie season, decent in the first half, but improved in the 2nd half. I am not disappointed with his season just yet, he still has 27 races to turn it around!

Alfredo has been doing really well in an Our Motorsports ride, he’s been in the top 15 in points all season, on the cusp of a playoff spot. Honestly he might not be super fast at Talladega, but he might be one to watch out for at the end to make a run into the top 20 or so

@smunger69  i said that bc hes racing in the 62 for cup this weekend and that car is normally fast
Also alfredo is goodish at superspeedways in general

@@DaronP.959 it’s not as fast of a car as you’d think, it’s been in the qualifying race for the 500 the last 2 years and missed it in 2023, but their race pace is about 25th which for a small team with 1-2 employees I would say is pretty good. They’ve had fast runs before just not really in the next Gen era yet, but I’d love to see them have a decent run this weekend. Small teams do seem to fit Alfredo better too so that may be a good pairing!

As far as Erik Jones goes I think it’s pretty good. They totally missed the set ups at Atlanta and Cota, but have been very consistent everywhere else, they were legit top 10 fast at phoenix and got unlucky with cautions at Texas. I think that 43 car has the real potential to start stealing top 10s away from other teams the longer the year goes on.

Reply
@tylerreddickfan1410 April 19, 2024 at 6:50 pm

I agree with what you said about Tyler Reddick. I bet if that caution didn’t come out, he probably would’ve won that race at Texas.

Reply
@jorgejoelhernandez April 19, 2024 at 6:51 pm

Briscoe is my favorite driver & him having 4 top 10’s already is huge. For reference, the leaders in top 10’s are Byron & Reddick with 6. SHR as a whole have shown flashes, & anything could happen @ Talladega.

I always thought of Penske the last few years as a two car team and Cindric doing caution duty.

Penske is really a 4 car team just no paper is a 3 car team aka the 21

He’s just another Austin Dillion no fear of getting booted. At least Gibbs driving has improved but I think this is because of veteran leadership and actually leaning into the advice they give. Love Logano and Blaney but both have tempers and dramatics at times but proven guys same with KB at rcr but both Austin to me have same issues dads president of team no fear to get booted

No mention of Berry’s pitcrew. He’s had good runs at basically every short track so far but every time he goes down pit road he loses 2 or more spots.
