As last week, just need another clean trouble-free run like we had yesterday really, Brian's done an awesome job to have such a great fleet of cars in the shop these days, meaning that no matter what type of track we go to, the #42 is a contender. So we just need clean runs and get those points on the board.

It looks better for the eye, but I hope it will also be beneficial for the racing. _________________

Larry Mac says the spoiler will come back at Martinsville, makeing this the last race with the wing... _________________ Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

But Carl doesn't know how to pass cars respectfully, so he'll just sit at the back, I bet we're past him in points after these three races. _________________ Never take life seriously.

Im wondering if this will suit JPMs driving style better. He did seem to have far more success in the older car, before they switched to the CoT. However, the CoT is so very different than the previous generation (wing or no wing) it is difficult to make any predictions.

I know he can run well right now and don't want anything to change and mess it up... That being said, at the end of the year, I could be crediting the spoiler for a championship... So I'll reseve judgement I guess. _________________ Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

However, I think Brian is extremely good at understanding what Juan wants from the car, and it must be said that every "new" chassis built under Brian's watch has been a jet. The consistent top-10 form at a wide range of tracks cannot be by accident, it can only come through understanding and knowledge. There's no tangible reason therefore why the spoiler should hurt the team's performance, if anything it's more likely to have the opposite effect. As an aside, I believe that Juan tested a car with the spoiler at Disney World in January (I think J-Mac tweeted a picture of a spoilered car in the hauler).
