From Knoxville straight to Talladega 
The Kia has an open diff. You have to turn it off the throttle and go for a straight exit.
And Gordon sure does NOT deserve that chase spot. 11th in the chase last year and he is running even worse this year. As much as the members of r/jeffgordoncirclejerk disagree, Joey deserves the spot.
edit: AND even without the extra point Joey got, Joey would still be 10th because Jeff would lose the tie-breaker.
also
Next thing they'll be penalising people for letting your teammate past so they can lead a lap.
Has anyone got the final points before chase seeding? A non-excessive point penalty, if it were to occur (it shouldn't), could theoretically put Joey and Kasey in the WC spots and knock Newman out again. What a mess that would be.

And here is where a NASCAR fan differs from every other motorsport fan in the world.
If I had my way NASCAR would be much cleaner than it is now. For example Jeff would have been banned for the final race and put on probation for 6 months for what he did to Clint at Phoenix. Probation until the end of the year was a pathetic penalty. (Also Clint would have been penalised for snookering them at Martinsville).
Obviously MWR deserved the penalties, but NASCAR could have thought through it better instead of just coming up with some shit penalties as soon as possible. The only two penalties that they gave that were just were the fine and the probation for Ty Norris.
I hope Clint wins on the basis that NASCAR ****ed up his penalty

I hope Clint wins it all
It is all down to setup. In LFS we generally use locked differentials for fwd cars, whilst is actuality, open differentials are generally used in fwd road cars.
A locked differential causes a fwd car to understeer off power, and 'oversteer' on traction. This is because a locked diff causes both tyres to always spin at the same speed, but not to always receive the same amount of torque.
On corner entry (presuming 0% throttle so 0% input torque) this causes understeer because the inside wheel is spinning too fast for the radius of turn it is trying to do (or conversely, the outside wheel is spinning too slowly). On throttle this causes 'oversteer' because more force is produced at the outside tyre because it has more weight on it. (F=mu*N). In reality obviously this is limited by the max grip of the tyre.
In a normal road car, it will use an open differential. This means that the wheels are allowed to spin at different rates, but will always receive 50% of the torque. This means that, on entry, the outside wheel is allowed to spin faster than the inside wheel, causing the oversteer (it will spin faster because it is travelling farther). The car will then understeer on throttle because the inside tyre will spin faster due to there being less weight on it.
Feel free to tell me that I'm wrong or that I'm shit at explaining things.

Pre-order from Amazon or the like then
Also there is a NASCAR oval in Vinewood and a dirt track near Harmony.
And ALLLLLLLLL that water is also explorable with the scuba diving and the submarine 
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
edit: if you look in the bottom left corner you can see a distance legend, 3000ft on top and 1000m on bottom. Then you see that it's big

i am sad, happy for newman, but still sad
Newman confirmed to the #31

Only saving grace for me would be if they hired Newman cos then at least they would have one decent driver. Or if Burton joins a satellite RCR team and then beats them all
I've had 2 xboxs since 2007 and the first one only broke cos I dropped it onto a slightly concrete floor. Got it replaced for free. Guess I'm the lucky one.
BTW, tanks in that trailer
