So far the car looks like its running well, I am going to watch this race live today. Normally the last few years I dvr the races so I can watch them later and I usually fast forward a lot. Darrell and the RCR engines have me hopeful this season, I don't expect runs like Daytona but I think he will be getting stronger as the year goes on.

Bubba did well during practice. I too am optimistic that he does well.

Well, we got our answer. Bubba had nothing at Atlanta. I hope we are not back to same old same old. Two laps down with less than half the race over.

Well ole sorry Dan will add a few comments. I felt REALLY BAD for ARIC leading a race with clearly a slightly better car and Wallce slams Dllion hard enough to spin him around . Granted on a couple occasions had it not been for some nifty driving on Bubba's part he would have finished out of the race or 35-40. Bubba got a TON of press coverage for the 500 a ton. Don't blame Bubba a dang bit for running hard on Hamlin...... Hamlim was going to do it to him.
Now the Atlanta race Someone must not have told Bubba we still have 3.5 mph difference in our car and the front runners. No monster crashes this time. Bubba finishes 32. tsk tsk/font]
Almirola moved on to better equipment that has been shown right away in the first two races. Bubba Wallace has inherited a lot of publicity and a car that is still 3.5 mph behind the leaders on a mile and a half track the top 10 pull away from him like he's tied to a tree. I wish for better every week I VCR it now and watch later that nite or after I get back from fishing. My hopes of seeing A LIVE NO BULL 43 win aren't any closer sad to say. I did enjoy seeing that little hop in Richards's step that nite after the race.

I think people are expecting to much to soon from Bubba and the entire team. Other than ownership, this is basically a brand new team.

We need to give them time, the team has been way behind for so long its not going to change overnight. I'm not sure how they will be able to make big gains without more funding. Did you hear Aric say that RPM has around 65 employees to SHR with their 385, I know they run 4 cars compared to just one.

Last year several of us thught that the chassis and setup had to be where some of the real problem lies. Makes senses to me they just can't get up off the corner with the better cars which absolutely KILLS your straightaway speed. I think Bubba is going to to a good job getting off the ground. This weekend at Las Vegas will tell a lot.
i'm like everyone of us I'll be jumpin up and down waiting for a good race. Anxious to see qualifying.
Dan
