Tires, tires, tires. I don't care how good you are Kyle Busch, you can't win on old tires. I'm glad to see the Wood Brothers and Ryan Blaney were able to capitalize and walk away with the trophy at Pocono. Even though he drives a ford, it's fun pulling for the local guys! In other news, some of these guys need to practice shifting gears, Dale Jr. and Kevin Harvick. Shifting from 3rd gear to 2nd gear when you've got your foot in the gas isn't good for the motor. That's why Jr. went home early this week. Oh, and I sure hope that NASCAR is tearing down Kevin Harvick's motor and transmission this week. There's no way in the world that thing should have held together when he missed 4th gear, hit 2nd instead, and turned over 12,000 RPM's. Something seems a little odd there. But anyway, we'll move on to the next week at Michigan. Point standings are tightening up as we get close to the end!
Kyle Larson thought he was going to get to hang with the Monster Energy girls in Victory Lane, but Jimmy Johnson slapped him in the face on the final restart. Even he admitted that Jimmy wasn't a 7-time champion for nothing. Better luck next time Kyle, the Monster Energy girls will still be there. Overall it was a decent race. The track was fast on new tires, and the low down-force package made the cars a lot to handle for some drivers. Looks like we'll head over to Pocono this week for a ride on the tricky triangle. Be on the lookout for the sheets for the second half of the season. I will post them on the blog as well as email them.
