re: 2024 NASCAR Season Thread

In qualifying Chase was 4th to move on to top 10. No one was going to knock him out on more used tires. Yet Gus had him go back out at the end and sure enough no one knocked him out. But then in final qualifying his tires were worn out so he got 9th. Plus his car and tires were heated from late group 2 run.

That was dumb by Gus. At worst if he did get knocked out he starts 11th. But had he not wasted a run he could have got top 5. Bad decision making there, not looking at bigger picture. Strange too, with so many engineers and even fans know its a big track and one more lap on tires takes the goody out of them.
