gomick should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridgomick should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridgomick should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
I dont understand the hard road Keselowski took - he was in a Penske Cup car at age 25 - most drivers would love that opportunity...
Congrats to him tho, he raced so aggressive/hard when it mattered & thoroughly deserved his title win - the bubble burst on the #48 car, need a lot of luck to win 1 title, let alone 5...
Ambrose, ya frustrate me, running 10th after a pitsop then 18th 5 laps later - everyone else makes changes to there car to move forward, whilst the #9 always goes back
Almirola ran well too...

The hard road was because he didn't have a deal with any big team before he came into any of the big 3 series. All the teams before he was chosen before JR motorsports were underfunded. He didn't start out with a big team developing him like The Busches or Joey Logano. This is my assumption. Infect, if Dale Jr. didn't take the chance on him, he'd likely end up like his brother, Brian, or still be running for a small, underfunded effort.

I remember a RPM press release saying that the 9 and 43 were switching entire crews, inc crew chief, for the duration of the Chase once the 9 was out of Chase contention.

Evidently, the crew that worked on the 43 the first 25 races, the 9 car the last ten, is a crew that needs replaced. They took Marcos Ambrose from the top ten to the 20s most every week, and Almirola looked alot better w/o them too.
