Looking at the hour by hour for Hampton, Ga, I’m not optimistic about finishing tonight. Since rain is already starting to fall, I’m betting this race is postponed until tomorrow.

Indianapolis is going to be a boring 1 groove race. I don’t know why we still go there.

It’s easier to do when it’s on Prime. TV makes it harder.

Those are the kind of frustrations the Toyota camp never experiences.

Nascar doesn’t care. They don’t want liability or hassle dealing with time change. People have reservations. Nascar has pre race stuff which is hard to change with performers and what not. Nascar is an entertainment company not a racing company. They prioritize racing at the bottom.

Well, so much for that. Bad lighting started about 10 minutes before they stopped it. Pouring here. I’d imagine it’s done for the night.

So do you have any idea what their advantage is? I’ll stick with Nascar turning a blind eye to cheating. Old days they would never let this happen. They would privately tell them to stop or else. Would also leak secrets to other makes. Nothing being done leads back to court backroom secret handshake.

Notice how much Toyota is spending on ads and the like. And how even the back marker Toyota cars are running so great. Its a big advantage not something minor.

Clock is down to 10 minutes

NASCAR is getting ready to start dispatching track drying equipment.

No clue, but I agree with you. There’s definitely something going on for it to be so blatantly obvious to the viewer.

I hate it when the announcers and podcasters come out and say that Ford and Chevy are closing the gap and it won’t be long until they start challenging for wins. Like come on? Y’all have been saying the same thing week after week and nothing I has changed. They’re gaslighting us to think that Ford and Chevy are making strides when clearly they aren’t. Even if they are, Toyota is getting better so the gap remains the same.

It’s time for the FBI or Nick Shirley to uncover what’s really happening.

Whats perplexing is its all of their teams. I could see one team finding something but all? And no matter how much info they share no team is going to share a big advantage like that.

Whats more head scratching is it would seem logical its aero related since all cars have it. Yet logically that should give them a qualifying advantage at a plate track where engines matter less. And they sucked in qualifying yet Reddick goes from 38 to lead in one stage.

The fact that Legacy is outperforming an established, proven winning team like Trackhouse speaks volumes.

Unless their cars aren’t as affected by the dirty air in the pack like the other cars. (which they aren’t). That would be a huge advantage to get up front fast.

Most parts are Nascar controlled. So what is Nascar allowing secretly?

??? It’s also perplexing that Roger Penske, Rick Hendrick, Jr., and others just go with the flow. I’d be talking to the media spewing all these facts like you post detailing the absurdities of Toyota’s recent dominance.
