Got to give Chris Buescher a  :cheers: for the win today.  That ought to make Roush happy.  Hopefully, he can get in the top 30

Anyone see the Xfinity race at the Glen yesterday? Pretty wild how Derrick Copes car exploded and pretty much blew most of it off the car. As of this morning, no one still knows what caused that. Not even Napcar. Even the announcers were baffled about it. They impounded the car, just to figure out what caused that.

I'm thinking it's a blown tire as well.  The right side was flat for some reason, and there was a lot of brake dust everywhere.

Local NASCAR radio show suspected they had an alternative (not legal) gas used to fill the tire.

those things add up, he may not make it back, if he does, one more good hit  :brickwall:  will end his career

not that I watched or anything, but how many times is a toyota going to fail post race inspection before they figure out what these guys are doing?

Truex didn't fail or did he?

yes, the car failed....

Martin Truex Jr. is advancing to the next round of the Chase, though he's advancing with the help of an illegal car.

Truex's car failed post-race inspection after he took the checkered flag in Sunday's Chase-opening Sprint Cup Series race at Chicago. NASCAR announced earlier in the week that it would take the win away from cars that had serious post-race laser inspection failures, but said Sunday that the failure by Truex's team wasn't severe enough to endanger his win.

even though he failed it, if chase had restarted on the outside row instead of martin, I think martin would have not won

I wonder if the new Nascar team owner guaranteed starting spot program has anything to do with this?

I honestly think they need for all teams, not just the teams I like, re-write the ride height rule. Add more tolerances or something. Of course a car will settle after a race.
