The Cup race at Watkins Glen will be his 7th race that he will skip and he can't make more than 85 starts now. 7. ThatGuy posted: 07.30.2019 - 12:39 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @6 well then I'm sure he was never going to reach it anyway, as next week trucks & cup are in Michigan but Xfinity is in Mid Ohio, and at the end of August the trucks are in Canada the day after Xfinity is at Road America 8. Mannoroth posted: 07.30.2019 - 1:00 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) 7. He was, but he would have to skip only two Xfinity races (because he is running for the Truck Series championship) that are held at the same time as the Truck Series races. Otherwise it would be possible to run up to 90 races, but he would have to travel a lot. And he can be also thankful that many standalone races from Xfinity and Trucks are gone and those schedules are more similar to the Cup schedule. Kyle Busch had to travel a lot 10 years ago for many standalone races in Xfinity and Trucks and he was also forced to skip some, because back then, there were some really unique combinations of races for the weekend. And even him had to take a break from time to time. 9.

And didn't he race Sonoma after racing Gateway or something like that? 10. JSPorts posted: 07.30.2019 - 2:47 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yes, he did Sonoma after Gateway. He missed the Michigan Cup race earlier this year (Trucks raced 3 days earlier at Texas - supposed to be 2 days earlier, but the race was rain-delayed, he also raced in the Xfinity race at Michigan the day before), as well as the Xfinity races at Iowa (June) (Trucks raced at Iowa the same day), Kentucky (he raced Truck & Cup there), New Hampshire (where he ran Cup) & Iowa (trucks ran Pocono the same day.) I think he probably could've raced in every race this year except Xfinity's 2nd date at Iowa, since the Trucks ran only 4 hours before that race. 11. 34McDowellFan posted: 07.30.2019 - 7:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Chastain in the #15 not Houff Also I was right, Rick Ware has Cody Ware (51) and Josh Bilicki (52) driving this weekend 12.

Mile501 posted: 07.31.2019 - 5:39 am Rate this comment: (2) (0) After having 8 different winners in the last 8 races, can we extend the streak of different winners to 9 in a row? Some drivers who have NOT won during the last 8 races and could keep the streak alive include Keselowski, Blaney, Bowyer, and Johnson, along with 5 drivers who finished in the top 8 at Watkins Glen last year: Elliott, Suarez, Jones, Larson, and Byron. 14. JSPorts posted: 07.31.2019 - 8:31 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I think Suarez could surprise some people this weekend. In 2 starts at the Glen, he's finished 3rd & 4th. He really needs a win to secure his spot in the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 41 in victory lane at the end of the race on Sunday. 15.

Let's not forget his awesome run to 4th at Sonoma, and he legitimately fought for it, passing Harvick and Jimmie Johnson among others. 16. GiveMajeskiAChance posted: 07.31.2019 - 11:24 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @14 I'd like to see that. A win could quite possibly save his career, or at least his ride at SHR. 17. Chase9Fan posted: 07.31.2019 - 5:41 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Back to the site of the first win. I will just be happy to get a top 10 this weekend. This streak is mind numbing. 18. JSPorts posted: 07.31.2019 - 6:44 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'd be happy with a top-10, too. The last 7 races since the 1st Pocono date have been tough for 9 fans. Chase's average finish over that span is 26.4. 3 DNFs, just 7 laps led, and he's dropped from 3rd to 8th in points. A win is certainly possible this week, though, so hopefully Chase & his bunch can have a smooth, uneventful week, score some good stage points and bring the car home in the top-10 or top-5. I know a lot of the issues recently haven't been of Chase's or his team's making, but I continue to be frustrated by some of the decisions Alan Gustafson makes. For a cross-sport reference, he honestly reminds me a little of Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. Sure, he's had some good years (and some of those have been especially surprising) as a crew chief, and he's a really likable guy, but his teams tend to underperform slightly and you wonder if you'll ever be able to win a championship with him as your crew chief. I'd honestly like to just see what Chase could do with a different CC. There are some good possibilities, too, though 3 of my 4 suggestions are highly unlikely. Dave Elenz would be plausible, and he's had lots of Xfinity success. Darian Grubb doesn't seem to have a great reputation around the garage, but they guy's a winner (almost like the opposite of Gustafson, who seems to have lost more races he should've won than vice-versa.) Greg Ives won the Xfinity championship with Chase, but he's paired with Bowman, and it's working, so I doubt he'd end up with Chase. Finally, Chad Knaus could do a lot for the 9 team, I believe, but he's also helping Byron do better, so that seems unlikely, as well. Even though Elliott & Bowman have wins this year & Byron is much improved, I'd still think about shuffling crew chiefs if I were Hendrick. I'd put Knaus back with Johnson, because that pairing clearly wasn't the issue with the 48 team. They've built an empire together, so it only seems right to me that they should see their twilight years (or at least Johnson's) together, too. Then, I'd stick Ives with Chase, as he won the Xfinity title with Greg & they have a track record of winning & not choking races, like we've seen happen too often in Gustafson's tenure. Then I'd pair up Elenz & Byron, as they obviously clicked well in Xfiinity, leading to William's championship in his lone NXS season. Bowman is the difficult one here. You could pair him with Gustafson. However, there are also some guys with proven track records of success who (I think) are still involved with Hendrick, or if they aren't, shouldn't be too difficult to bring in as CC. Darian Grubb & Kenny Francis are the two guys who come to mind here. Finally, Hendrick could promote Travis Mack or Jason Burdett, who have both improved their respective drivers' Xfinity career substantially & should be in line for Cup CC jobs down the road. 19. Wil posted: 07.31.2019 - 7:14 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @18 Johnson came out and said that his split with Knaus was mostly due to cracks in the relationship. Knaus has always been a very dominant and assertive personality, which meshed perfectly with the timid and talented early career Johnson. And because Johnson is reserved by nature, it worked well into the 2010s. But the last few years once the speed fell off, JJ decided he had enough of Knaus bossing him around. They split not due to performance, but due to personality differences--this is what JJ admitted. Knaus's presence is perfect for young Byron, too, and it's showing in the results. The Jason Garrett comp is interesting, I love cross-sport comps. I think it's too harsh though. Garrett is just a mannequin programmed to spout off whatever Jerry Jones wants. Gustafson is a legitimately good team leader, with a good statistical record, and a guy who his drivers past and present love. All Chase Elliott fans want AG flogged, and I have a hard time separating whether they're scapegoating the crew chief during a bad stretch (which happen in racing, people need to relax about Chase a bit), or if AG really is incompetent at calling a race. I lean towards AG being an A at managing a team, a C+ at calling a race, for a B+ overall. Should Rick Hendrick seek for better to compliment his franchise driver? Yes, but this offseason. AG isn't an F and he and Chase have had success, so completely changing everything a handful of races from the chase would be overboard. 20. Wil posted: 07.31.2019 - 7:23 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Gustafson for an NFL comp is like Mike Tomlin to me. Fiery, people skills, young but have been around forever, but once you get past all the charisma the guy isn't that good at strategy/game-planning. Of course, Tomlin's Super Bowl in '08 also made him bulletproof even though he's been underachieving for years... 21. JSPorts posted: 07.31.2019 - 7:28 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I agree that people give Gustafson too much crap, but you're also right that he isn't the guy I want leading Chase's team. He's good enough to be a Cup crew chief, no doubt. That said, he's worked with 4 of the most talented drivers in NASCAR, and though they've all had major bright points under his tenure on the box, there have been a lot of instances in which he's been so bad at calling races that it's cost his drivers championships (or at least shots at them.) 22. JohnG posted: 07.31.2019 - 7:30 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "Johnson came out and said that his split with Knaus was mostly due to cracks in the relationship" That's what I assumed. I don't think they ever got along but tolerated each other. They were very, very close to splitting up after the 2005 season. I remember listened to a NASCAR radio show where one of the prominent reporters, I think something Spencer, mentioned how ruthless Knaus is to his team and how he rips the members apart. 23. Jimmie48JohnsonFan posted: 07.31.2019 - 7:55 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Please!

GiveMajeskiAChance posted: 07.31.2019 - 8:08 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @20 At least Gustafson's teams aren't full of immature divas 25. JSPorts posted: 07.31.2019 - 8:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @24 yeah, I don't like the Tomlin comparison. Gustafson isn't a guy who will play dirty, and he demands the most out of his team away from the track. He also doesn't have a championship, though. Gustafson has been with Hendrick for about 20 years in one form or another. He's capable of having good seasons & races, but can't put together a complete, championship season & doesn't over-perform expectations. His weak spot is in-race strategy. Compare that to Jason Garrett, who has been involved with the Cowboys in some form or fashion for 20 years, too (non-consecutive though, he had a break from 2000-2006), has good teams & seasons but can't win a championship, doesn't out-do expectations & struggles with in-game strategy. 26. Wil posted: 07.31.2019 - 10:01 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) As a Nascar fan I've always supported AG to an extent. As a football fan I have always HATED Jason Garrett and thought he was a fraud. I can't deny the similarities you mentioned between Garrett and AG, and it's making me think less of AG. Comparing him to Tomlin might be a stretch because unlike AG Tomlin has actually won something. I very much enjoy cross sport references. 27. Corey posted: 07.31.2019 - 10:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) If we are going with cross sport references, then can I add Bill Belichick and Chad Knaus?

Scott25 posted: 07.31.2019 - 10:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I have no idea what you're talking about once you leave the racing sphere. I'm as far from a Chase fan as you can get but I agree I'd like to see him with Ives, even though it does seem like Bowman has finally gotten comfortable in the 88 over the last few months. Who knows. Don't think it'll happen but maybe Gustafson needs to leave Hendrick and go somewhere else. I don't know if he would mesh with Jimmie and I don't think he's what Bowman needs. Elenz and Mack both seem like promising talents. 29. Wil posted: 07.31.2019 - 11:50 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The Glen in my top 3 as far as favorite tracks on the Nascar circuit.

Chase9Fan posted: 08.01.2019 - 6:56 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I don't particularly hate AG, but he infuriates me to no extent sometimes that I won't be heart broken WHEN Chase gets a new CC. I don't think it's a matter of if, just when. Them always taking 4 tires at Chicago, maybe Kentucky, one of the 2, when everyone else was taking 2 tires all day with no sign of tire wear bugged the F out of me. Chase is in the playoffs with the win, but Alan shows no willingness to go for stage wins either. Yes, sometimes you give up the race win for stage wins, but at this point with HMS cars seemingly all of a sudden slowing down again, you need all he help you can get for the playoffs. There are other examples but I won't bore you with them. I do think Chase is a great aggressive driver, which after the Mac years I love, but thanks to AG he's generally not put in a position to win. (that and Toyota and Ford are blowing their doors off). 31. Jimmie48JohnsonFan posted: 08.01.2019 - 3:30 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) This race might be a free race expects the stages. 32.

Onion posted: 08.01.2019 - 6:06 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Out of all the weeks to have a good feeling for Chastain pulling off something big, this is not the one. He is an average road racer, even in Busch he is usually found in the 15th-20th range and has just 2 top 10s over 19 road course starts across the three series. That is worse than Ryan Reed for example. 37. rm posted: 08.01.2019 - 6:44 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Chastain didn't really show a whole lot in this race last year before he broke, but as usual in his Cup career that should be chalked up to Premium being further off the pace than Ross. He's shown some promise at road courses in Xfinity before, but also some inconsistency. Lest we forget that one of the reasons Jeremy Clements was in position to pull off his big win at Road America a couple years ago was because Ross inexplicably turned Justin Marks at the end of stage 2, taking out James Davison in the process - Davison had led the most laps of any driver that day. 38.

Sector posted: 08.04.2019 - 8:54 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I find qualifying (or pole winners, in general) to be really interesting this season. Besides the fact that Kevin Harvick has 4 poles, Austin Dillon, William Byron and Chase Elliott (all Chevrolet) each have 3 poles this season. Joey Logano is the only other repeat pole winner with 2. Kevin and Joey have the two best average starting position (though after this race I think Kyle Busch is going to be right there for second best average starting position, while Kevin Harvick will start have the best starting position). Kyle has yet to win a pole this season up to this race. I enjoy seeing who comes out on top in becoming the pole winner of the season, especially when its this close. While it may not mean much to many, it's quite interesting to observe. 45. Wil posted: 08.04.2019 - 9:25 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @44 You're dead on Sector.

Sector posted: 08.04.2019 - 11:03 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) #45 Another thing to point that is that the Joe Gibbs Racing drivers has yet to win a single Cup pole in 2019, despite the fact that they've won 11 of 21 races, even after this Watkins Glen race they've won 50% of the schedule. It's pretty unusual, while I do think they (most likely Kyle Busch) will win one, I would enjoy the thought that none of the Gibbs drivers win any poles the remaining 14 races while dominating the wins category in 2019. 49.

Then under caution for the stage, Byron showed his displeasure by running into the rear of Busch through the esses. Only problem is, he hurt himself by caving in the front of his #24 car. Oops. After yellow pit stops, Kyle Busch is dinged with a speeding penalty. He'll restart from the rear. 90.

Still, Elliott has passed them all in order to get back to the lead, and his car may be good enough to combat any alternative strategy. 108.

Making a last restart, and without that last restart, I'm sure Chase would of won. Michigan (4th Win): Micheal McDowell blew a tire (I think) then Larson got a great restart and won, sure Truex would of won that. Richmond (5th): NASCAR throws a yellow while Truex was going to pull away then win, then Larson won the race off pit road and won. I am not a Chase Elliott fan, I just wanted to bring that out there, and he had a better first 99 starts then Larson's. 233.

And I say that because when Tony Stewart (2005) & Kyle Busch (2008) started 1st in those two years in which they won it, it was because qualifying was canceled because of inclement weather. So Chase is pretty much the first driver since 1998 to win from the pole based off qualifying speed. 238. joey2448 posted: 08.04.2019 - 7:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @226 I'm not so sure about that. Jimmie Johnson sounded pretty pissed after the race, calling out Ryan Blaney for turning him in the carousel. JJ basically promised to give it back to Blaney the next time the two are racing each other. A rare touch of emotion from Jimmie today. "He claims it was racing. I can't wait to go racing, so stay tuned." Also, Bubba Wallace blasted Kyle Busch in a postrace interview, after the #18 turned the #43 midway through the race. "I'm going to get my respect on track, I don't care who it is," Bubba said. That's for when guys fail to think about the young guys, I guess, or with me. "I won't put up with no shit.

The 95 car he drives for does not get the same support as Furniture Row Racing did. That team is not capable of getting a top 10 at 1.5 or 2 mile ovals without luck due to how that team is from an aerodynamic standpoint. 95 team is at its best where it is more on the driver than aerodynamics unless it is Daytona and Talladega. DiBenedetto might get a top 20 at Michigan, but that is. Bristol is where not getting a top 10 would be a disappointment for him. I have no idea on Darlington because the driver does matter and DiBenedetto might get a top 10. 251. Maverick19 posted: 08.04.2019 - 11:36 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) A rare return of the ?old?

When I was browsing through other drivers, it actually happened quite often that drivers has finished dead last after their recent victory. It's harder the other way because the momentum is lost, and knowing they finished last the race before is on their mind that they had to overcome the issue at hand. #285 I only remember because 2015 was essentially the year where Kyle had nothing to lose, and thus is why he was able to win the championship because he was injured. I didn't know about Denny Hamlin either. #282 While I do feel it was pretty much staged by Roush and the entire 17 team, Matt Kenseth finished dead last with an engine failure at Homestead, the season finale race, en route to the championship in 2003. The last race in the Winston Cup era before the Chase era began. 288.

I always thought they put an experimental engine in that car to test something for the next season, knowing that if it blew up, they had nothing to lose. 289.

And how many drivers can say that they managed to win the race and finish dead last in the next one as well as finish dead last in one race and win the next one? Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and? Who else? Anyway, you seriously forgot that Denny Hamlin did it as well? I would write that he did it as well, but it looks like I'm not the only one who remembers it. 290.

They knew they already locked up at Rockingham the week prior (yay Elliott won!) and they were testing for '04 early. Ironically, at NC in early 2004, Kenseth follows up locking down his championship from fall '03 here to win the last race at the rock ever. (Shame they closed the rock down, I loved it!) 291.

They had nothing to lose and already clinched the championship, therefore they threw that race away and could care less by finishing dead last. 292.

Still, very surprising even if they have de-prioritized qualifying. 296.

After this, not only did we see a faster Jimmie, but we saw a more relaxed and at ease Jimmie. His arrow has trended upwards since this race. 298.
