Ross Chastain got his first top 10 with the Hattori racing team. Hope they decide to go full time next year cause that team has potential.

I took some photos of the Sprint Vision screens while it showed the replays of the big modified wreck, gives an idea of how wild it was. The ACT race ended on lap 44 due to darkness after a big pileup on the backstretch, couldn't tell what happened cause it was so dark, all I could see was lots of sparks.

Laps 190-195 were good, and Matt DiBenedetto made the greatest save since... Trevor Bayne 50 laps earlier

Judging by the aero package test last month at Michigan, NASCAR wants more downforce but the teams told NASCAR they want less.

NASCAR added DTM style winglets on the front and messed with the HP of the vehicle and no matter what they did, they got spread out immediately.

Then, they took away a ton of downforce and there was a ton of passing and slipping and sliding. Speeds were well over 200+mph(read somewhere 223mph) going into T1 but they had to slow down so much because of the lack of grip that the racing was good.

Get rid of the splitter, get rid of bump stops. Bring back coil binding. Keep the same horsepower.

More tracks where the racing is slower. How many times do we see good races on the short tracks and road courses? Then NASCAR decides to add another mile and a half and the race stinks.

The latest rumour I saw was that horsepower would be cut considerably and a minimal change to the amount of downforce :yuk:

Did they not learn anything from the test?
