Lancaster speedway doesn't open till the 30th :(

Why doesn't nascar give folks who have sprint cup ticket holdets the option for free xfinity and truck tickets too? There isn't a loving person in the stands for this poo poo.

I'm not terribly surprised. Clint's had trouble with ill-handling cars at Richmond before.

Yeah is this team that much different from when it was the #51 for Phoenix Racing? I was under the impression it was basically the same Hendrick piece with a different name on it. Could this be just flushing out that maybe Bowyer isn't the all around wheelman he's supposed to be? I know Kurt Busch had a rough season with that car but I don't remember him really going off the rails like that which is incredibly surprising considering he is Kurt Busch after all. Just looking quickly Kurt seemed to actually have pretty similar results finishing in the 20s and teens a lot with only 1 top 10 and 1 top 5. I know it must be frustrating but I feel like Bowyer is having a tougher time of it than Kurt did unless I'm just remembering it wrong.

You guys bower's poo poo is literally that bad. HSM have completely screwed the pooch on his deal. He's running for 40th right now for chrissakes. He has a right to be mad. Unfortunately though the SHR Ford switch hosed over everyone, HSM included. You best believe hendrick's notebooks and support slammed shut the second that was announced. Nevertheless, a man's radio during practice is somewhat private, and I could very much understand if the loving power steering pump wasn't hooked up when they unloaded, as I've heard around the garage. That's a special kind of unpreparedness for a "competent" cup group

They made like 3 backwards steps from last year to this year. Hunting for top 15 to struggling for 36th in a single year is a chasm, not a molehill. Seems the hsm this year vs last year is a shadow of itself. The persistent thing i keep hearing in the garage is that Harry Scott is completely squandering the clint deal.

Yeah it's been kind of shocking to me, Allgaier was running decently in a lot of races last year. I guess fortunately for Bowyer he only has to bear it for a year and he can move on to greener pastures.

Also nice run today SRA

I'm on the boat of liking Bowyer. I could see HScott being collateral between Hendrick giving info to SHR and thusly on their own and welp kind of running around with your heads chopped off not having the extra insurance from a big team. It sucks and can't blame any driver getting mad for being in a poo poo ride knowing you'll get a better one soon. Maybe by the end of the year they might right the ship a little.

I don't hate the guy at all. Just found it a little surprising that the team is struggling so hard. I completely forgot about the SHR to Ford thing and that being a contributing factor to support disappearing. The unpreparedness is pretty un-excusable though. Unless their notes from Hendrick for each track had Nut and Bolt Check at the top of each sheet and without them the team forgot to do one.
