I'm pretty sure that Ross "just ran out of track" there...
Every week, I'm becoming more of a Ross C fan. The guy is really good!


I really like Ross

Was a very healthy crowd for sure.

I agree. And I think with the way he handled yesterday, he won over more fans (well, except for the hardcore folks who think every infringement should be met with a fight on the track etc).

And Hamlin got boo'd yesterday, and I think that will grow more as well.

Ultimately, the conflict overall is good for the sport, and assuming Hamlin is done, it happened at a good time for Chastain, before the POs.
And maybe Harvick who's playoff chances are on the edge, will get angry that Hamlin cost him about 20 pts yesterday by wrecking Chastain at the front of a crowded pack and get Hamlin back now.

I'm a big Harvick fan and yesterday after that wreck he didn't say much of anything. To which I found interesting. He was quite on the scanner.

Seems maybe Harvick doesn't quite have the hunger he used to have? I know that (1) it is tough to measure, (2) it does happen as drivers/athletes get older, have families, etc, But I'd have expected him to be po'd yesterday given his position in the standings and the fact he was damaged due to petulance (everyone knew Hamlin would/had to at some point push back on Chastain, but do you do that on the front row of a restart??)

Harvick has actually become a big Ross fan. He really likes the aggressiveness he races with.

I could see him not saying anything and just doing something down the road. Last year NASCAR talked to him about the roval thing with Chase. I think Harvick still has it but SHR and Ford in general have had problems this year.

Fair point....could absolutely have just filed it away.

Yep....Harvick misses the playoffs, they start and maybe Hamlin has a great car to win a certain day. Harvick suddenly has a tire going down while he's next to Hamlin and can't help putting Hamlin in the wall..... I like it.

Have no idea what the effect of that tape would be, but given it was under the decal, seems fairly blatant?

Correct. That piece of the car is made from an outside vendor. Teams can not mess/altar that part.

If I understand you correctly NASCAR isn't running on the oval. The racing/fan interest had dropped. So they started running on the road course. I personally aren't a fan of either, but would like to see the new car on the oval.

Another road course race. Yuck.

And instead of running on the historic 2.5 mile oval. Double yuck.

I know what you are meaning here...big track or road course...but the one track in Indy they need to race at is IRP...man that place has some great races. No way the infrastructure supports a Cup race...but at least send the Xfinity cars back. The truck race should be the best race of the weekend.

Ratings roundup:
-- F1 posts rare decline last weekend, but French GP still nears high
-- NASCAR on USA up from last year on NBCSN for third-straight week
-- Plus: PGA Tour, IndyCar, SRX finale, Tour de France
https://t.co/cb85CjFoWz

F1 French GP viewership dips, still third-most watched
Last Sunday's Formula 1 French Grand Prix averaged a 0.58 rating and 1.058 million viewers on ESPN, down slightly from last year (0.60, 1.064M) but still the third-largest audience in the history of the race. The high water mark is 1.3 million for tape delayed coverage on FOX in 2007. Despite the overall decline, viewership increased 11% in adults 18-49 (471K) and the race topped the same day NASCAR Cup Series race on USA Network in both 18-49 (0.36 to 0.34) and 18-34 (0.33 to 0.18).

NASCAR on USA tops NBCSN for third-straight week
NASCAR Cup Series racing from Pocono (Pa.) averaged a 1.6 rating and 2.59 million viewers on USA Network last Sunday, up a tick in ratings and 4% in viewership from last year on NBCSN (1.5, 2.49M) but down 3% in both measures from two years ago on FS1 (1.6, 2.66M). It was the most-watched sporting event of last weekend.

USA Network has carried three races that aired on NBCSN last year and all three have posted an increase in ratings and viewership.

The previous day's Xfinity Series race at Pocono drew a 0.57 and 914,000 on USA Network down from last year's race, which aired on a Sunday leading into the Cup Series event (0.7, ~1.1M).

OK that was a fun race to watch. Still not thrill with nascar going away from traditional races like Daytona in July and Indy being a oval, but that was enjoyable

And that wreck between Larson and Ty Dillon was brutal. Glad both walked away. Felt bad for AJ having to race without his cool suit all race and being out of water the entire last stage. He looked absolutely exhausted after the race

I think what made it fun for a road course was the way the track is mapped out. I enjoyed that.

It was okay I guess. Probably better than the oval but I kinda want to see what this new car can do on it.
