50+ lead changes, track positions constantly changing, movers from front to back - back to front. during a caution some drivers got fuel twice... TWICE... somehow Jeff runs out of gas. how could this happen? Was the track position more important than fuel???? go figure.......
May God Bless Jeff for his patience.

Alot of crew chiefs told their drivers they would be short on fuel and made the call to keep them out. I think the crew chiefs should have let the drivers make that call since they were the ones out there and they knew what the cars were doing. JMO

Perfectly said. The CC needs to listen to the drivers a little more than they do. After all it's the driver behind the wheel, not the CC regardless of what all the gauges say in the pit box. CC can't "feel" the car like a driver.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Pisces

Do not overspend on redecorating. Say as little as possible and concentrate on matters in hand. Someone you care about will be erratic and eager to pick a fight. To move that great idea, you need to talk to the big spenders. Run the idea by them and see if you cannot get a backer and a partner for your concept.
