I forgot to swap out my bonus picks also in l2. I wanted Bad Brad and by the way he drives a ford. Duh, yeah I knew that. But crazy, eh? First time I picked anything but Chevy, and Toyota wins. You may have been gaining on Dive craig440 but she's kicking your ass tonight in L2. IDK about all that, but got him by 78 pts this week, so back to a comfy 400 ahead. I feel bad for that poor sap that picked up Larson. Said b4 that I had a bad feeling about him. Didn't think it would be THAT bad. My Jeb Burton rookie was all I could afford, but he didn't cost me nuthin'. Was worth it for Butthead. Congrats to Jeppers for going for Kyle. I almost did that, hindsight's a bitch. What I tell ya about this new rule change advantage Toyota & Ford. Results 1 Ford 4 Toyota's in the Top 5 first time we've seen that happen this year. Ya happy now NASCAR ? So explain how this mostly affects Toyotas and Fords. It was meant to level the playing field, but does it give Chevys any kinda DISadvantage? Maybe the finish was a coincidence?!?

Divebitch "Maybe the finish was a coincidence" Maybe, maybe not but we will soon find out at the other tracks they plan on using this new rules package at then maybe we will know more. Gibbs is the Top team of the Toyotas and Penske is the top team of the Fords. The race results says it all: Gibbs Toyotas finished 1st, 3rd, 4th, & 5th first time they've done that all year. Penske's Fords finished 2nd & 6th while both ran the early part of the season well neither one was doing so hot lately. Stewart/Haas & Hendrick clearly the Top of the Chevy Teams and where did they finish 7th thru 10th, up until the new rule package they were finishing in the top 5. Yeah ya could say it was meant to level the playing field cause Chevy had been dominating up to this point. Toyotas & Fords were good but they couldn't match the horse power that the Chevys had.

Well, IDK who dominated b4 this year, cuz this is our first year at L2, where it's more obvious. IDK much about the tech details of this sport at all. I was under a vague impression that what's under the hoods are totally custom and must conform to certain specs, weight, etc. I assumed all the cars could be almost the same in many ways, and adding horsepower was just a matter of picking an engine that meets specs.

Chevy's have the better engine builders,better teams,more money,better drivers overall.
But the other teams have some,just not as much.
Overall...Chevy has dominated this sport in many ways.

I just like to see wrecks and fights,and my fantasy team be on top. lol Dale Earnhardt was my driver,and now Im just shallow. hahaha

I do think we need to remember that this is Kentucky, its been dominated by toyotas and Bucky Kes since the beginning. I really thought the racing was much better, even though the top Chevy was JEFF GORDON in 7th. I think Steve's right, Indy and Michigan will be good tests of these new rules. But i've said for years GET RID OF THE SPLITTER. Dump the splitter, lower the rear spoiler, put a bar on the front of the roof (For big tracks), and raise these cars up so that more air can go underneath. Less downforce, more deceleration through the corners. I think we're going in the right direction with this.
Dive, look up the Manufacture Championship history. GM all the way.
