Well wasn’t that a wild one at Fontana. Kyle Busch gets his first win of the year in a Cup car, bang win one and you’re in!
I am torn on the tire issue, yes lots had issues but lots didn’t. For the those that didn’t how many cars could have made a full fuel run had there every been an opportunity for one? Nascar’s response was the tire was fine the teams were just aggressive on the setups. Okay why wasn’t there an issue at Las Vegas if that was the case, they all just got aggressive for this race and not there? Sure Fontana is a rough track and harder on tires but you would hope we would never see another Indy race where they purposely put out cautions because they knew the tires would not last. This wasn’t that bad but it did deter from the racing. Maybe force them to run minimal air pressures if they can guarantee that will fix the problem. Regardless while they did race it was good racing, just would have been nice to see at least one full fuel run for pit stops.
I wonder if Clint Bowyer spun his car again to bring out a caution with 2 laps to go, hmmm we will never know. Yes he did have a tire go down but really, thought he was a better driver than that.
In the pool we have Rusty-Cup, Glasses, JoJo24, Slant and Nana’s Pick.
Rounding out the top 10 we have W.K.C Racing, Irv-1, Shot in the Dark, Dog Days and Mitchman.
