Coca Cola 600

[Flying Razorback]

Kenseth got the pole along with a mix of Fords and Toyotas up front.  Kind of strange starting line up, especially with the Hendrick cars starting deep in the field.  I wonder if some of those cars are more set up for night conditions or why they missed their qualifying set up so bad.

The cream will rise to the top, it always does. 

[Flying Razorback]

I've seen JJ spin more cars and not hut anything than any other drivers in my years watching the sport.  Crazy car control.

[Flying Razorback]

I know better than to put Kahne in my fantasy line up.  That guy has tanked my team more than any other.

Truex running strong

Is this yellow wall a new thing? I haven't noticed.

:razorback:

[Flying Razorback]

I think Charlotte has had it for a few years at least.

My fantasy team is dead in the water.  Sorry for picking you Johnson and Allgaier.

[AirForceHog]

What a gamble by Jr. Let's see how it plays out.

Hamlin has the lead at the right time, but Truex is coming. 

Did I just hear that Hamlin has a loose wheel?  Lol.

[Buff]

Who can make it and who can't?  I hate fuel mileage races but the tension at the end of these races is its own entertainment.

Best car at the end of the race finished 5th.  All Edwards did was drive slow at the right moment.

[TheRazorback500]

Nice win for Carl, but Truex and Jr. were definitely faster. The extra 100 miles caused some crews to change strategies and Edwards and Biffle were lucky on fuel mileage. Good side-by-side racing at times, especially on restarts.

Glad for Carl. He's slowly becoming one of my favorite drivers. saw him speak live at Richmond last month in a long interview at the Toyota tent. seems down to earth and really likes the fans.

This year has been brutal for me in Fantasy. Been trying to save some of the few decent B drivers but each week whoever I choose finishes late teens or 20's.

You poor saps should all stop picking Danica so maybe she can get a top 5 finish.

The C drivers are abysmal this year.  I just write it off.  It's a crap shoot as to which one is going to wreck out and finish p40-43.  That was Allgaier for me last night.

And who would have thought JJ48 would have spun himself twice and tore the car up completely?

[Flying Razorback]

I think this new multi-zone compound tire is throwing some of the crew chiefs off.  I think it has presented a wrinkle for the 4 team that Rodney Childers can't figure out yet.  He mentioned it in a post race last night as something that is messing up setups.

Chad Knaus was at a loss on the radio after the first spin on what to do.

Chad Knaus was at a loss on the radio after the first spin on what to do.

As a Harvick fan, I obviously want him to win as many races as he possibly can.  And obviously the rules package last year and the first few weeks of this season were right in his and Childers wheel house.  But I don't mind some changes to make the drivers and teams have to continually search for the perfect setup.  I think it's good to see the best minds in the sport like Knaus and Childers sitting there dumb founded by how to make their cars get on point. 

It's also nice that a "bad night" for Harvick where he can't "turn the car in a 10 acre field" like he was last night still has him running 2nd or 3rd on a bad run.

Tell me about it.  6-8 drivers in my bench were in the top10 in final practice.  Had the race finished like it should have, I would have done great.

I wish thy would not have so may A drivers to choose from. Wish they would move several of them to B list. Way too many good drivers there this year.
