NASCAR has a big problem with this car. I hope they figure out a solution. If a car spins into the grass it needs a tow truck to get it back to the track as they get stuck. Kinda the chits losing laps because you are stuck in dry grass.

Yes. plus very rough ride

I’m going to give it 5 races before I cast judgment. They have some kinks to work out for sure. My boy Bowman didn’t fair to well today tho.

No he was in the wall a couple times. I find it alarming cars get stuck on pavement and dry grass. My boy got burned for 3 laps over it.

You bet Chadd but the weak spot is where the rubber meets the road.

I think they were saying that track is known for eating tires too. We shall see. F1 made the jump to a bigger tire as well this year. There three days of testing they dealt with the cars porpoising.

Looks like there going to switch up how they do qualifying for Saturday in Vegas ?
Are they doing it differently than they did in California Chadd? I thought it was the same? Practice groups then 2 round qualifying?

Wonder how long they’re going to let the tire mishaps slide. Tow truck drivers are going to see as many laps as the bottom of the field if we keep these numbers up.
