Im saying we put up a nice race here--- new body style doesnt seem to have really hurt us.
Rules package--- maybe hurt Atlanta a bit

This is actually the "rules package" rules package with the ducts and everything and supposedly you'll have to line up in a draft to pass cars.

My prediction:
Pack style racing for the first 5-10, maybe 15 laps.
Leader cannot be passed after getting strung out due to the dirty air being distributed by the lead car.
Still don't understand the thinking with this package. You have to build some type of momentum in the corners to make a big run on the straights for a pass. With the cars punching a bigger hole, and the areo ducts adding to that, there won't be any air on the trailing car to provide any grip to create any momentum to pass the car in front.

If one goal was to help out the lesser talents, the 8 and 3 leading this practice means mission accomplished

2nd.
Sorry, timing had us second to the 9.
Now we're pole!
9's second lap must not have counted I guess.

Yup, seen the pole. Hope it's better racing than the all-star race but with the same results.

This crap is a joke guys. Manufactured racing, the 3 and the 8 in the top ten qualifying. I feel like I am watching my kids play tee ball again. Just give everyone a trophy and lets go home.

SPOILER ALERT
Another KB show... the stat that won't be talked about, is that with 2 laps left there were 6 cars on the lead lap. Top 2 where JGR Toyotas. Kevin and Brad were just praising KB's talents as a driver. A puke show! OK... a little hard on Kevin. I understand that KB is talented. But you stick him in a JGR Xfinity car with his cup pit crew and he is virtually unstoppable. Just sick of it!

Was watching practice... and toward the end, good old DW let it slip that clean air was going to matter a bunch. WAIT! huh?! You mean to tell me that we are doing this entire rule change to basically still have the same problem as before? OK! |

To be honest Kyle drove the wheels off that car and caught a great break. Not a bad race but wish Cole would have won. Kevin does a good job in the booth. |

Proof that you don't need a gimmicky package to put on a good show. |
