a cooler but beautiful morning in the neighborhood .. .. as mentioned in our post in this thread back on Jan 7th (the day we arrived in Texas at Lake Conroe), we had a new elevating gear, two new elevator tubes and a new Jack Antenna installed in our OEM roof, over the air, TV antenna .... sadly, last week large overhanging limbs over our camper prevented us from using it while camped at Medina Lake .... over the air TV signal reception in that area is all but nonexistent so I don't know if we could have gotten a signal from a FOX station so we could watch the Daytona 500 .... fast forward to today and we raised our new Jack Antenna for the first time .... its bringing in 48 stations, most importantly channel 26.1 which is the Houston FOX station .. .. really looking forward to being able to watch today's race at Atlanta

What happened to all the supposed pack racing that the new 550 HP package was to bring??
1st stage was all strung out. They used to run 195+ at Atlanta last couple years.

All I saw was the last 20 laps.

a young driver to keep an eye on ===> Hailie Deegan

https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2018/ ... ries-west/

UPDATE :

now 17 years old, she's doing well and making progress .... last night in a last lap pass he plowed her way to a win at Vegas on dirt .... in this link ===> https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2019/ ... egas-dirt/ , that pass can be seen .... she's in the 19 car .... one common criticism of Danica was she wasn't aggressive enough .... Hailie doesn't seem to have that issue .... that might be expected coming from dirt tracks and not from Indy cars

Candyman has no one to blame but himself for not breaking out the broom!

with 3 races in the books, it appears that the new rules package has increased passing in the pack .... sadly, no more passing for the lead than last year
