I cracked on Aric abit with my last reply. Can't blame him for Chicago.

RPM is an embarrassment on the track.

30 laps in a lap down. 57 laps in 2 laps down. 93 laps in 3 laps down. Both cars were running with M. ANNET and M Dibenitteno and finished 4 laps down. I don't really have any words to decribe this inept team.

                                 WOW


Sarcastically all I can say when the car finally stops in the middle of the track they might find out whats wrong. It may get worse.

A think it's time to cheat. I'm kidding, but dang. After the race yesterday, on the cool down lap, Drew tells Aric, sorry we'll get better, Aric says, whatever, cheating c___ks__kers. I'll leave the obscenities to that. Then they say, yeah Nascar told them to stop this weaving back and forth. Apparently after the race, some of them were still weaving there cars back and forth trying to get their cars back into adjustment to beat the laser thing. I see where a couple, including winner Truex, still failed inspection. It's hard to beat these guys when they're cheating. I don't by any means think that this is the problem but it certainly is adding to it. Yesterday, they weren't only slow, they also once again, beat themselves on pit road. I've never in my life seen more pit road mistakes from them than this year, it's almost every race. With these lack of caution races, and especially long green flag runs on the first run, if you're just a little off, you find yourself a lap down in 30 laps. This is where they found themselves again yesterday, then Drew is gonna go ahead and short pit him to try and get the lap back, at least for a few laps, once the green flag pit stops by everyone get completed. But they lose a tire on pitroad, that goes rolling out into the grass, and end up causing the caution that they did not need at that particular time. Now they've beat themselves, now they've put themselves 2 laps down, and got a penalty for the tire, that won't let them take the wave around, to get back to 1 lap, and they have to start tail end. It's unbelievable, you can't make some of this stuff up, of just what they do to hurt themselves. Well once your trapped 2 laps down and running off the pace to boot, along with the lack of cautions, your sunk. The next run, long green run, he found himself going 3 down, then 4 down. I think the problem is their 1. cars are off, due to chassis aren't right or lack of cheating like the rest. 2. I believe there is an element of like Ricklou said in a previous post, Aric isn't as good with this aero package in getting a handle on it and driving it as fast as some of the others. And 3. Them beating themselves with mistake after mistakes. Just my opinion.

I think I have mentioned cheating before. When you are getting your azz beat like we are it's time to to do something radical. If it is pushing the regs so be it. I just don't believe there is any kind of adjustment on the track that can get the 43 car 3 plus mph I think they could stay out there and adjust for a year and not come close to 3 to 4 mph they are looking for. If they could they would do it in qualifying. The last ten races I have seen they haven't picked up anything in qualifying even when they can adjust all they want.

It just has to be more than one single thing that's accounting for this kind of gap. Take Harvick for example he'll have one or two races where his crew or he messes up. Even then sometimes they can pull off a respectable finish. But they will come back and have several races where they are competitive and then often win a couple. The RPM cars are just awful, maybe the driver isn't pushing them hard enough. I just don't think he has the car to push. I know just a little off you go from first to tenth. But the RPM cars aren't even close.

We just keep on keeping on.
