Well we had another race that we led the most laps and had a car that only truex could beat. I wouldn't have thought it would have stayed green until the end with all the previous cautions happening every 25 laps.
Kudos too the 2 team! They have BALLS and nothing to lose!
Kudos too the 4 pit crew!! Got to give credit where credit is due! Hopefully they turned a corner and can keep it up! That #1 stall was huge also. Harvick had GREAT restarts and was masterful on car control.
But for race strategy...they still need to improve on that and im not sure thats something a individual can do.. You either have it or you dont! I know last nights ending was tough circumstances, but it would be nice to be on the right side of the fence when it comes to the end of these races for a change. Not sure about the 2 lefts at the end. Im not sure why they didnt try it? Harve asked with 30 to go what are we doing here?? Rodney didnt even want to take the chance...
Im far from a expert or crew chief for that matter, but I do know what I see week after week. I dont care how well you can set up a car and tune it, if you cant make the right decisions come checkered flag time, well you know, we witness it A Lot!
Rodney is one hell of a Cheif and its easy to view things hind sight. But he needs some help in the strategy department.
The 2 team pitted only 4 times the entire race. They took left's only once, during a green flag stop.
Better strategy, better fuel mileage.
And they passed us on the last retart while still making it on fuel.
