Ty dillon proving how horrible of a driver he is in that #54 car....

We all saw which teams were strong last week, but Homestead and Vegas are way different animals. Question is ... which teams nail the sim this week?

I think most people believe Larsen has better equipment,but I expect both to do well. Until last year, Kurt had bad luck at his home track

If I remember correctly, Kurt won last year because he had not yet pitted when there was a late caution. Thus the leaders were all a lap down when the caution came out and he took the lead after pitting under caution. He kept the lead and won. He didn't necessarily have the best car but he was in the right place at the right time.

Right. At Homestead the track changed drastically and some teams couldn't adjust the car to keep up with the track (Penske, especially). That factor shouldn't enter into the equation at Las Vegas.

More so to my point ... Homestead is tougher on tires, and has 2 symmetric ends while Vegas is a D shaped oval.

Hey FYI — because it’s an early race local time tomorrow, NASCAR already did pre-race inspection tonight. Everyone passed on first or second try, so all good. Now the cars are impounded, so only an unapproved adjustment in the morning would make someone fall to the back.

Think I will just look at 2 - 48 - 20 - 47. Have a good day everybody.

The 2% that's not going with the 5 car... Have a good day to you as well.

If Larson wrecks early today there won't be many 300+ scores. Me included. I think I've got 4 different A drivers and about the same for B&C.
I of the 10 different drivers I have picked may win, but then again-------I don't have Bubba.

Just insane tbh.

I wonder how many are because they don't change picks Regardless I was pretty pleased with my top 5 last week with him. Not sure if I wanna use another back to back tho

I don't plan on running the 17 buuuuuut, he has finished in the top 20 in the last 6 Vegas races and was the man for the first half of the race last week.

Why am I not using him in my 8 start per driver league (asking myself)?

Harvick didn't take first pit box because Childers (tweeted earlier in the week) said the timing line is so far from the first pit box, it isn't a big advantage and they have spun their tires in that pit box in previous races.

 

[Argonaut]

I went with 22-48-24-47 in the end. Too many other good tracks for 4 and 5 and counting on 24 having momentum.

 

[Sleestak]

Went with ... 19 - 5 - 48 - 47
