Unfavourable result is unfavorable.

So if he isn't in 1st, he'll 🤬 about anything under the sun. I'm sure he'll find something to complain about in Victory Lne this week.
 
Ummmmm.... why did Harvick just head to pit road first before the burnout?
 
And now we see how much the #4 fails post race inspection.

Still suprised at how the #18 was running at the end. 20 more laps or so and he might have been in Victory Lane.
 
Austin Dillons 2017 Scheme has been released:
 
Oboy, white 3 with a red outline on a black background... how many people going to complain about this?

On a more serious note... lack of sponsorship? Looks like a lot of empty space, seems off somehow.
 
Not a fan. Gradients only work when they're done right. Using one for the quarter panel just seems lazy, like "What can we do to keep it from being all black?" "Let's just fade to white!"

Someone probably through it together in five minutes and called it done.
 
Talking about liveries for Dillon (We'll put on our tin foil hats for this one), when a GM Goodwrench throwback happens, do you think NASCAR might actually try to manipulate the race to get the 3 in the winner's circle?

Taking the hats off again, how much criticism do you think he would receive for not winning? Tar and feathered level, or hang him in the town square level?
 
I wish they kept the white fade all the way to the back of the car. Looks lazy just being on the quarter panel.
 
It's like they forgot to turn off some layers in their Photoshop template to let the gradient go through :lol:
 
My god Danica and her crew really are whiny 🤬 sometimes:

Stewart says series' increasing reliance on engineering is "frustrating," part of why he's retiring.

He's not wrong on this. You can't even do a bump and run anymore until the last corner of the race, because the bumping car loses so much aero it's ridiculous.
For a long time now NASCAR has needed to just simplify both the cars and the rulebook. I have a copy of the rulebook from a few years ago and it could lose about 20 pages. This is why pay drivers are more prevalent today than ever before, because teams need to offset the cost of all of this engineering.
 
It's also why you see less and less single-car teams. It takes multiple sponsored cars to offset the cost of R&D more efficiently.

This is why I like seeing single car teams win from time to time

And by extention (or so I assume), this is what makes many of these teams have technical alliances with the big teams.

The texture in the red makes this look much more complete than his Miller scheme
