    Can't believe no one mentioned Overton lr

    How has it not been mentioned yet. Do we think it was by design or a happy accident? Lol. If it is something super trick he has the best shot of anyone in the longhorn camp with keeping it hidden the longest since he is on his own island with penske.

    Yes, I noticed that. In fact, it stuck out like a sore thumb. Anybody have any details, guesses?

      You talking about the LR tire being so far under the drivers seat it should be smoking?

        I think they mean where it got stuck in the up position.

          I commented on a Facebook post last night about it. It looks illegal but must have passed tech.

            I'm talking about it holding posture during the entire caution period without settling. Reminds me of a birdcage that's over indexed and locked up.

                I thought it might get flagged in tech but then thought, can you penalize the hometown favorite? Probably not. I also thought it looked like the LR was shoved forward.

                  I was responding to the other guy, but to highline. I also was interested to see how tech would go, but he seemed to be fine. I believe it likely helps on restarts as well. Already having the car st attitude and driving forward l, rather than trying to get the car to go as well as gain loft. It's already through the travel and driving forward.

                    There is a pic of the car floating around of them teching the with a dollar general tape measure before the race yesterday, you can't see the reading though. I don't know enough about it to know exactly what it's doing, I'm going to guess it's definitely doing by design.

                        Something holds it in place, with any motion of the car at all.

                          Dollar General, eh ? Is that is a step up from using a Harbor Freight unit ?

                            I wouldn't surprised if it is just a bit over indexed to lock it in.

                            There's a modified builder out there that has perfected this. It over indexes just enough to lock it when it's out racing and then can wiggle the car when he wants to unlock it.
