Make a rule... find a way to break a rule... this is awesome - and I'm sure it's accurate. No way it's by "chance" that so many teams have a dark color over that particular spot...

I'm absolutely AMAZED at the level of smarts that go into these cars. Somewhere... somebody... maybe over a beer... looked at someone and said... "You know, I think we can beat that laser thing." --- and the race was on.

Unfortunate part for NASCAR was that the "cheating" used to be stuff that a common man could understand -- thus identify with. Now... it's an advanced degree holder who finds a loophole in a computer algorithm to exploit and take advantage of .... link below ===> http://kickinthetires.net/index.php/201 ... -weakness/ ... and most common fans are lost in the understanding of it. Something about high end technology kind of kills the fun in the old fashioned cat/mouse games...

Even still... I'm fascinated by it!!

Yeah, another win for Harvick. That's his 6th now for the year.

Good day for the 10 car. Almirola thought he had the car to win it, but came home 3rd.

Kyle got bumped but was cool with it. Stated "How you race is how you get raced".

I heard that interview ... watching Kyle left me wondering if was referring to him being raced the way he races ... or ... a warning to Harvick that he will now go after him in the same way .. :?:
