From the highlights I saw it looked quite interesting. I had to work so I missed it, but like I said it looked like a really good race. Sorry I missed it, not so sorry I missed Harvick winning.

You guys slam Kyle all the time for bumping. I'm curious to know who your favorite drivers were back in the day. Plenty of them bumped and rubbed too. Its called racing, not a "keep the car pretty" fest.

I realize sometimes hes still young and immature and does indeed have some things to learn about driving clean etc. All I'm sayin is if you ever supported Earnhardt, D. Waltrip or Cale Yarborough, among many others, then you might wanna rethink ripping on someone for "bumping".

Is it just me or do the cars seem like they're "bouncing" more or something ??

True...

The cars have little to no shock adsorption due to the bump stops on the shocks.

These stops are made out of all different kinds of material (some exotic) because the goal is to have the car rest on these to get the splitter down on the track as far as possible without scrapping thus creating some great nose downforce and little air going under the car.

Since the COT & the approval to use the bump stops -- this has been the greatest tuning tool left to our creativity.

From what I understand the reason for the different materials is the property advantages that they provide like force adsorption (bounce vs adsorbing the load), stiffness, durability, thickness, ride heights, ect.

So after my tangent -- at Daytona the cars have little shock adsorption because they are heavy on these to get the nose down hence why they are bouncing around a lot more then usual!

Hopefully that overly answers your question! :thumbsup:

Here's the largest (and insurmountable it seems) difference for Kyle when comparing him to Dale Sr., DW, Cale, Bobby Allison, or others. It isn't the driving style that makes people not like him. It's his attitude.

I still go back to the reason Dale Jr is in Mr. H's stable and Kyle is gone. None of these others would ever have ditched their team. I have personally witnessed a certain 'old school' driver go into his trailer pissed off hotter than a blown engine, throw poo around, come out, and once the car was rebuilt, he got back into the race for 15 measly laps, all for the points.

I have also seen Kyle act quite younger than his actual age, get pissed off and leave the track, ditching his team. Just to have Lil E have to pick it up for him and clean up whatever he could of the mess, for the points.

Hell, I remember a race where DW had no damn hood on the car. He had the front panel and the quarter panels, and his crew was able to jury-rig the hood to stay down, and he went back out on the track until the officials told him to hang it up for the day and pulled him off. That's the kind of driver I'm used to, the kind that we appreciated on the race team, and the kind that fans want to support. He didn't pout, just got his job done.

That is what Kyle should have done. But he didn't. Maybe he will mature, but you don't ditch your team. Period. He lost many points on that day with many in the sport and many fans watching...

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.

      Bills predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule.  The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse.  So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too.

      I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC.  Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.
