At least a dozen of the playoff drivers had some sort of problem with NASCAR’s new Next Gen car Saturday night at Bristol.
Now there's a fresh batch of complaints following Bristol, where Harvick, Kyle Busch and Richard Childress Racing teammates Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick were eliminated from the playoff field.
“Passing was just impossible,” Hamlin said after the race. He, too, had a blown tire at Bristol but felt the difficulty in passing was the larger problem. Yes, all six Toyotas had a problem, ranging from tires for Hamlin and Christopher Bell, steering issues for Truex, Wallace and Ty Gibbs, and Kyle Busch's engine failure.
But then his tire blew while leading with 87 laps remaining and Keselowski's trip to victory lane was to congratulate teammate Buescher. He acknowledged passing was tricky — but said it isn't supposed to be easy — and said NASCAR must continue to work on the Next Gen.
