Lacey, you must not have followed the no. 48 team’s commentary throughout the week …

This article was laughable… Johnson was hardly bashing the car. It was just a quick one liner about its raceability. Frankly I agree, I fell asleep during the Texas race.

1. The cars are fine. The drivers just have to get used to them. Go back and read the articles from the last time NASCAR made such huge changes to the cars. Drivers complained then but eventually they all came around. Same thing here. Change takes time.

2. Get rid of testing. That’s why they have practices.

3. Yes, they should put two DIRT track races on the schedule. Now that would be fun to watch!

4. If all the race teams had spent as much time testing and re-engineering as RFR during the off season, they’d be running good too. This is why you need to get rid of testing. Carl Edwards said it best, “It’s not supposed to be easy…”

1. yeah, they’ve been a little unprofessional I think, but I also think that’s pretty much what NASCAR was asking for at the beginning of the year.

2. Testing would be good. I realy don’t know enough on the mechanical side of things to know what they need to do to make the cars more racey, though. Just keep testing.

3. They need to take a race away from Texas for sure. Not sure why TX has two races. Its not very good racing – even before the COT.

4. The complaints are valid. These are the guys driving the car, and like someone said earlier it’s usually top 5 cars making the noise.

1. I think their comments can come across as unprofessional at times, but I believe they are just being themselves and speaking emotionally about the sport they love.
2. I agree – more tests.
3. Texas
4. They drivers’ points are valid. It’s true, the bottom drivers aren’t the ones complaining here – it’s the top guys.

1. The drivers know better than anyone what makes a good car. They should give honest feedback.
2. Changing something will only create more problems. Instead NASCAR should allow more sanctioned tests.
3. Sure, if NASCAR builds me a track in Portland.
4. Yes, the drivers’ complaints are valid. When top five drivers have no clue how to make their cars better, it’s a serious problem.

1. yeah some stuff was said that maybe shouldn’t have been said publicy but we don’t know what else was siad behind the scenes so maybe thet were tired off waiting so they put it out there.
2.I don’t know exactly what needs to be done but there seems to be the car out front is way to dominate.
3.texas needs to lose one definetly and we willhave so see how they new cars changes the racing on other tracks.
4. I think the drivers want whats the best race they want the fans to keep coming back and watching on t.v. to many races like texas will really hurt the ratings.
