I could not have been more wrong in my predictions and picks for Kentucky. I just watched the race today, and was trying to figure out if there are some things that we can use going forward.
We haven't seen a mile and a half race in a while where Gibbs Racing ran up front all race long with all their cars.
We also haven't seen Hendrick cars miss their setups and in race adjustments so bad.
Wondering what everyone thought Kentucky showed us moving forward...

From what I've read..... and I could be wrong. The next race with a similar package is Darlington which is it's own animal. Not reading anything into this unless they change set ups for the Chase in which case I'd hope for better odds on the Hendrick cars because you'll know they're fixing this as we speak

I'm not looking to much into the Kentucky results personally. Kentucky is a unique 1.5 track that even with the new rule changes the same drivers dominated.
I believe that they are tweaking the package a little bit at Indy, Mich, and Darlington. Nascar is really do a good job of making our job of capping the races for the rest of the year tough.

NASCAR had been reluctant to alter anything and still hasn't pulled the trigger on any sweeping changes. Officials are planning a high drag package for two upcoming tracks (Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Michigan International Speedway), which is the opposite of what the drivers asked for. And beyond Darlington, there are no set plans to run the low downforce package again. Kentucky was sort of a mid-season experiment with nothing to lose based on the track's history

The "High Drag" package Nascar is running at Michigan and Indy is an attempt to make it easier for the trailing car to pull up and draft off the car in front more like we see at superspeedway races. Totally different than the less downforce package we saw at Kentucky, they are simply testing different packages.
There is also a 2 day tire test in Chicago this week, day 1 with the current 2015 package and day 2 with the rules package we saw at Kentucky. The same tire compound that is run at Chicago is also ran at Kansas and one other chase track I can't think of at the moment. This kind of makes me think that they are at least considering a permanent change this year.
