I would gladly eat LJS if it means Larson wins. The entire end of that race was bush league. Larson had that in the bag…

Following Friday's lone 50-minute practice session at Phoenix Raceway, NASCAR inspectors confiscated the hood louvers off all four Hendrick Motorsports cars the No. 5 of Kyle Larson, the No. 9 of Josh Berry, the No. 24 of William Byron and the No. 48 of Alex Bowman.

Hood louvers are vents in the hood on each manufacturer's car that serve as a release point for ducts that transfer air out of the radiator.

The use of vents prevents the need of teams' to tape up the front grille of car, which had been used extensively as a performance adjustment tool in the previous iteration of race car.

Louvers are considered a single-source supplied part on the Next Gen car and NASCAR has issued severe penalties for alterations to those parts in the past year.

Following Saturday's qualifying session, NASCAR announced it had also confiscated the hood louvers from Kaulig Racing's No. 31 Chevrolet driven by Justin Haley.

What in the wide world of sports was Kevin Harvick thinking on that last pit stop?

They were the first to take 4, everyone in front took 2

Larson starts on the outside, Reddick pushes him instead of Byron out front.
aggiephoenix02
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, but I think he was worried about blocking those really low runs on the restart…

Hendrick got hammered. I am an HMS fan, but if they were altering parts, they deserve. NASCAR has been consistent with that penalty. Also, Elliott avoided the penalty since he isn't racing, so he now has the second most points of any HMS driver.

And Hamlin was stupid for admitting to wrecking Chastain on purpose. If he had kept his mouth shut or denied it, he wouldn't have been penalized.

Why did Hamlin pick this time, when both were pretty much out of race, to wreck Chastain?

Why not, you know, do it last year in playoffs when it was meaningful?

Shocker. A caution in Atlanta.

The pit road entry being at the start of turn 3 has really changed strategy to an extent. Talk about moving at a crawl for a long ways.

A big wreck.

Here comes the hate on Chastain…slight bump to Harvick gets him turned and it all falls apart.

I still think Chastain needs to come out with a line from Earnhardt…

"I wasn't trying to wreck him, just rattle his cage a little."

Replay shows Chastain didn't even touch Harvick

Just one of those issues in a plate style race.

This race sucks. Trucks and xfinity do awful in Atlanta with the track renovations. Cup marginally better.
