If you look at his RT's he was very consistent. .046 .046 .051 .046 I'd have to go with clutch settings?

That final was awesome. Too bad the hole shot from Line got 'em. I thought AJ was gonna catch 'em at the finish. Looks like he needed 5 more feet..Still a good # in the points.



When you decide to quit, THAT is the moment when you would've succeeded..

Solid day! way to go AJ. When the guy in the other lane punches out with a .015 (I think thats about where Line was), you gotta just tip your hat. AJ did get fairly lucky in the Semi's though. While AJ had his hands full with a loose Mopar, it appeared Stanfield had it won, then appeared to miss a gear up top and AJ came roaring past?? Way to stick with it, Alan! They never did tell us what happened to Stanfield (??)

I agree Chris, Be it clutch or driver, he has been
beat on R/T many times last few seasons and now again
this year. I'm a big fan of the guy, but he is a bit late
with Jeg, Line, or any of the other lightning
quick R/T drivers.

I know it's not what you like to hear, but maybe
it's time to put a different driver in the seat.

I would think that if the driver can be that consistant then you could make adjustments to the car to fit the driver

Good job AJ...... He did his job IMO. Line is very tough on the tree (.005 light in previous round), if not the best. Good last race for sure. Line just got him on the tree, and never looked back

that last run was especially impressive considering how krappy the left lane was.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
