I know it might stereotypical and all, certainly coming from a Euro, but a screen like that just screams "Texas" to me :lol:

The same left rear since 2011 here, probably the camber and extra aero and grip from the new right sides...

Edit: Oh, and probably testung some agressive set since he already won.

We are seeing the best racing in years... because of tire fall-off but yet critics and drivers are all bitching about Goodyear. Just let it be! Don't fix it if it ain't broke. I'm frustrated.

NASCAR talking as smart as I've seen in the last decade....

Quote:
NASCAR puts pressure of preserving tires on teams: NASCAR will not regulate tire pressures at Texas Motor Speedway, and if drivers have tire failures during Sunday's race officials believe they won't be able to blame Goodyear. Hoping to give more control over setups and strategy to race teams, NASCAR is refusing to get involved in monitoring whether teams choose to follow recommendations set each week by Goodyear. There were multiple tire issues at California two weeks ago, and many drivers tried to blame the product Goodyear brought to the track. NASCAR insisted the issues were self-inflicted and a product of teams going far beyond the air pressure limits recommended by the manufacturer. With a handful of drivers predicting similar problems this weekend at Texas, NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said each team controls its own fate. "We want to be open enough to give the teams opportunity to adjust and have different setups out there and be more aggressive or less aggressive whenever they sit fit," Pemberton said Thursday. "We want the teams to be able to push the limit, and that's what we expect out of them. If a guy has a tire issue that is self-inflicted and gets out of the car and blames Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., that's a bad deal. That basically is what some of them tried to do at California." Goodyear each week presents teams minimum pounds per square inch pressure recommendations based on both testing and data from previous tires. NASCAR has maintained the majority of failures at California occurred when teams decided to go below the recommended pressure. Goodyear this week presented teams a chart of recommended inflation pressures and times before a possible failure based on testing data. Pemberton said it is up to the teams to walk the fine line of pushing the limits Goodyear gives them in an effort to rise in what's shaping up to be a very competitive season.


Anyways...Holy shit I walked in on the last lap and almost shit my pants seeing Chase Elliott leading...fuckin'a, how awesome is that?? Shut us up 2 races in a row in Nationwide...when's the last time this has happened?

I didn't see any of the race but I was happy to find out that a non-cup regular won. With names like Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson making a name for themselves, the future of this sport is bright in terms of talent.

Kyle Larson wins at Fontana, Chase Elliott wins the next race at Texas :)

The future of NASCAR is bright, looking forward to these two fighting it out

Atleast it's the correct aspect ratio. Charlotte one was 2.35:1 which made the 16:9 broadcast picture look stretched and cars squished.

The future talent might be bright, but NASCAR itself is a nightmare.
