Gander RV 400 .... Pocono Racway .... Sunday, Jul 28, 3:00 PM .... NBCSN

 

[JEBar]

wonder what NASCAR's Competition officials are stirred up about .... following the race at New Hampshire, the Team Penske No. 12 Ford of fourth-place Ryan Blaney will be taken to the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina, this week for further evaluation.

I wonder what ever happened to Jimmy Johnson .He seems to have become a field filler picking up a few last bucks.

 

[JEBar]

he was on the upswing with a top 10 car for several races .... as with everyone, he seem to have hit a streak where things happen around him and kill his performance

 

[W. WIllie]

Blaney is entered for POCONO Sunday, maybe they found something that NASCAR hasn't made a rule against yet?

 

[Coss]

They haven't found a rule to keep him out, they're looking though.
That rule book has gotten out of hand, they might as well call it IROC for the way they iron fist rule it any more.

 

[JEBar]

its about time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NASCAR officials modify ‘arm’s length’ rule for uncontrolled tire penalties ===> https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2019/07/24/nascar-rule-arms-length-uncontrolled-tire-penalties/

 

[Coss]

WHHHAAATTTT they're repealing a rule?? Or they're just loosing the reins a little.
They'll find something else to replace it.

the big boys are running at Pocono under a beautiful blue sky .... 4 car in the lead since the green flag but mid way through Stage 1 the 42 car has been the most impressive .... started at the end of the field and is already in the top 10

 

[Coss]

The 42 has been impressive, question is, can he keep it going all day.
Stage 1 finished, the 18 took first (yipiee <yawn>) but a lot of the people that pitted early, only took 2 tires.
The ones that pitted later took 4, we'll see how that shakes out.
