Pocono thoughts

Has it really been since October? i sure need to update this thing more often.

Well. Another snoozer at Pocono. As David Poole pointed out after the All Star Race, if the way the cars run now is that the leader drives away from the field due solely to the clean air, then the racing is going to suffer. When Kahne got out front he drove away. Earlier in the race when Denny took the lead, he drove away.

If you think Pocono was bad, wait til Indy. Indy will be a disaster to watch. Same type of track. I thought the point of the COT was to make them LESS aero dependent and cut down on aero push (you cannot eliminate aero push, anyone that tells you that doesn't know racing)?

Secondly, they have to do something to get these cars cooler on the inside. Those guys looked like they were going to fall out after the race. Jr was so dehydrated he wasn't even sweating in his TV interview. Go back and look at it, he's bone dry in the face. That's because he's deyhdrated. Good look up the post race presser with Vickers and Hamlin. Hamlin looks terrible. They both said the new car is a lot hotter then the old cars.

Tony continues to have distractions and find a way to not get the finish they deserve. Nobody is talking about it but the 29 team is doing nothing this year. Just riding around hoping to make the chase and then turn it on? That doesn't work.
