idk about you, but larson should’ve just asked miles the monster to throw that massive inflatable duck outside of turn 4 in front of denny so he’d win

@@garlandalmarode6396 Not really a whine in my book, a lot of drivers, including Denny, have made it clear the aero blocking at some tracks is annoying.

As a fan watching the races, I think they are right to complain here.

Dover is underrated. Pocono is overhated. More horsepower and less dirty air are needed.

@smunger69 April 29, 2024 at 12:44 am

Pocono has always been a favorite among drivers, yet always viewed as boring to the fans. It’s one of those true tests of man and machine and not made exactly for entertainment. Its made for lots of underdog stories over the years.

Wasn’t that the pit crew MTJ fired last year? I wonder if he is now sticking needles into his eyes every time Denny gets out of the pit faster than everyone else…

Races shouldn’t come down to track position and pit stops every single race, otherwise, why not just have pit crew competitions every week? Passing needs to happen or the sport will die

Passing has always been hard. You can’t have passing at a whim, that kills the thrill of a pass if you constantly have them. It’s why no one celebrates the first points in a basketball game, because they know more are coming.

Reply
@brendan7591 April 29, 2024 at 3:22 am

The ratio between mechanical grip vs grip due to aero needs to greatly increase for sure. Open up the bottom and increase ride height is suggestion of mine. Might make the car less dependent on ground effect.
