A Few USA Nationals Observations
1. Major props to Overton. His car is so well balanced and it is amazing how his nose basically hardly moves up or down. He can drive it so straight and just about anywhere on the track. Doesn’t seem like he gets much wheel spin either.
2. Track was in good shape all weekend and produced some good racing. The competition is so even it gets really hard to pass when the track slicks off.
3. Kyle Bronson - He has been driving so clean this year, I was surprised he pulled the bush league move on Mars on Friday in the heat. Then goes on and talks trash about Mars in his post race interview. Oh well, Mars got the last laugh with a solid run in the top 7 all night ending with a podium finish.
4. Brent Larson - For some reason he won’t get out of the way when being lapped. Race after race when getting lapped he is a moving road block, won’t hold his line and last night he challenged Moyer and BShepp for several laps. Maybe he should drive harder earlier in the race when battling for position rather than deciding to race the leaders when being lapped.
5. Terbo - Pathetic. Worse than a three year old. Especially after his actions with Gustin, Papich, and Gundaker to react like he did when the shoe is on the other foot.
6. Pierce - uncalled for ramming of Weiss. His car has absolutely no drive off the corners either on the bottom or in the middle and he is relegated to hammering a cushion or the wall once cars thin out/get spread out to make any moves. Problem is that the cars running the middle naturally glide up towards the wall and in front of him coming out of two and four. It is frustrating, but you have to find a way to pass people without knocking them in the rear.
