For the record I’m a soft tire and big carburetor kind of guy
@DanielsCliff I would just love to see Nascar give some horsepower back. The way the car acts in dirty air is frustrating as well. I miss when faster cars were able to manipulate the car in front, rather than the car in front, manipulating the car behind. Just my opinion.

Top of our pit box is as busy during a speedway race as almost any other. Lots of strategy and communication

We all complain 😆 It’s human nature We get our doses of reality and perspective sometimes just like anyone else
@DanielsCliff When your winning everything great but remember the sun doesn't shine on the same dog every day and yes your driver has done alot of complaining about the G7 car it has more negatives than positives!!!

It takes all of us
@DanielsCliff I’m nobody special except for a fan of the 5 car. Either way, thanks for having an open, honest dialogue with us fans. We all want the same thing and understanding each other’s position can only help in the end.

Petty used to lap the field Cale led every lap of the ‘73 Bristol race Examples could go on “Back in the good ole days” We have the car of today and the sport of today, lots of good going our way with fans and exposure. Dialogue to improve it is perfect. Maintain perspective.

No need to justify anything We have the opportunity to speak perspective on something we’re passionate about and can make an impact - because of that race. Taking the opportunity to join the conversation.
@CG1751 @jeff_gluck A lot talk from the 5 team trying to justify their win when the race as a whole wasn’t that good. @DanielsCliff @KyleLarsonRacin #MoveForward #OnToNextWeek

Understood Of the 4 track types SSW, INT, RC and ST, at worst the NG7 platform produces good races at 50% rate, I’d argue higher Old car? No one liked the INT races for sure, and some of the other track types weren’t always barn burners either. So 50% ish? Let’s keep
@DanielsCliff This Super speedway racing in next gen is probably my least favorite.

Fair point. Remember ATL is considered SSW and those races are intense. TAL and DAY I’m much busier with the current style and the strategy presents a different element.
@DanielsCliff Super speedway racing is nothing but fuel saving, how is that good?

That’s not my point NG7 platform is here to stay and bear in mind its producing some of the best INT and SSW races the sport has had in awhile. Some RC races also. ST races need help, we’re all on the same page. It can be done Keep watching, keep supporting, and don’t give up
@DanielsCliff Hey @DanielsCliff I have an absolute brilliant and earth shattering idea…how about we just race the Xfinity car so we can watch pros do pros things in the car🙃 just a thought here🤪

Nascar moved quickly for safety after the Talladega wreck we had with Preece. They’ve moved quickly with tire options. I think they’re open to change. Having proper dialogue is healthy to keep it all going for the next changes. I don’t think they’ve been slow
@DanielsCliff Well said. There’s a lot of potential here. I am a bit surprised by the slowness of nascar’s RnD

Not sure why. The frame work of the G7 car and idea provides great racing on some tracks and we want better on others. That’s perfectly ok. I think we can find some ideas to help it on the tracks that need it, and we’ll have a great racing package for a long time to come
@DanielsCliff Although I agree, you just got Kyle docked 50 points somewhere down the road. Probably sooner rather than later 😂

This is the point we’re after. Get to someone’s bumper and move them. It can be done. Action comes from providing that ability. Some say HP. Some say softer tire. Ability to move the guy ahead of you with air and not the opposite is in play also. Let’s get to work
@calnaughtonjr52 None of the above. Could have been same result for 9/11/20 if they had the lead also. I’m advocating for their ability to get to our bumper and move us. Without a complete tearup of this car, I do think it can be done

Chew on this. Old car and current Xfinity, the trailing car can move the leading car with air. Nose down and back up. G7 racing is nose up and back down and trailing car cannot scoop or pack air towards the leading car bumper. We can work on this to allow trailing car to “move

Your post race interview painted a great picture of the reality that we have
@DaleJr @jeff_gluck You didn't see my post race interview wrong at all. My post was about unrealistic expectations. My interview was about that also, as well as the state of our current car/product.
