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:

:D

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...

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      Just had his best game? The Panthers did have their best win in terms of quality of opponent.  Reality is, Bryce Young was treated like a backup QB for almost the entire game vs the Rams.   It's yet another example of a long run of oddities come to life for Bryce on  the year.  Almost this weird The Golden Calf of Bristol season weirdness where it clearly is not good QB play but randomness resulting in a random season overall.  Canales frankly called 2 really dumb calls on 4th down and it worked out terrifically.  I mean, credit Bryce for making the plays, sure.   But I don't think 2 wild gambles really erase everything else.  I mean, take out the 4th down oddities and he was at 130 yards on the day (with a lot of YAC).

      I mean, did Bryce ever become a prince for more than a game or two at a time?    I am not advocating in any way, shape or form for Sanders as a starter. If he was available for nickels and could compete in camp, I would be fine having him. I don't view him as any sort of savior and he is another guy that has some legit physical limitations and a TON of work to do getting faster and more decisive with his reads. I can't say given sample size he is better than Bryce....yet. But that ain't much in the way of bars to clear. Hence why I am so perplexed by the Kyler arguments here. I mean.....who in the world would even question the fact that he is a better QB than Bryce? And, once again, that doesn't make him good. It makes him better than one of the worst starting QB's in the past 5 or so years.

      I mean, you probably should've waited after the season is over before "going there," that way we we'd have four more games of comparison and discussion. Don't get me wrong, I occasionally go out on a limb, but Bryce just had his best game and has given people hope (which could realistically be false hope), and Shedeur just doesn't have that many games under his belt (even if he does look promising), one of them being against the Titans. No harm in being patient and letting things play out.  If you noticed, Tepper seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't mention Bryce in the clip in the other thread. I'm still highly skeptical of Bryce (and glad that Sanders has shown an ounce of success), but the reality is that we have to let things play out. The Sanders train left long ago (if it was even here). But,there are more realistic options if Bryce turns back into a frog.
