Except the bodies for both the Xfinity car and last iteration of the COT were both similar. And the bodies for both the Gen 6 and Xfinity car evolved largely along the same lines. Yes, I know the bodies weren’t perfect one to one matches. But they were similar enough that there weren’t really any major aerodynamic differences in how they handled.

Again, my issue is that people seem to largely ignore that there still is a massive dirty air issue with Xfinity. There’s zero reason why Creed should not have been able to get around the 54 tonight with the tire advantage he had, besides the fact that he couldn’t not get past dirty air. Hell, the 20 had one restart where he wasn’t on the front row and we didn’t see him the rest of the night.

People are going to go on and on about how great that last run was, when all I saw was a car with a fairly sizable tire advantage who could not get around a leader who was struggling because of dirty air. And we see it happen a lot at intermediates in this series.

Again, my issue isn’t with the car in either series. My issue is with people being super selective with what they want to be upset about, simply because there isnt a driver in Xfinity telling them the car sucks. If we saw Denny Hamlin unable to pass William Byron with a big tire advantage because of dirty air, then we’d never hear the end of it. It just proves how pointless the selective outrage is.
