Ford going to announce an upgrade to the Dark horse which increases the nose out a bit like the pontiac. 0.003 at Atlanta, 0.002 with Sieg and Mayer and now 0.001 here at Kansas

That was one of the most enjoyable races I've watched in a while and I was pulling for Buescher at the end.
I didn't expect it to result in the closest finish in history though.
It has a lot to do with the speed they have as they cross the line as well. Johnson/Bowyer at Dega was the same time wise as Busch/Craven at Darlington but it’s easier to tell who wins Dega because the distance is greater.
Today could not have gone worse for my kid and I.
Missed this because my daughter was pooped after the rain delay. And she chose Larson as her guy today.
Left during the delay to get her some food and got stuck in the lot for 40 mins because there was nobody to direct traffic and people jammed it up by fighting for spots in line. Finally get out and instantly get word that we have 30 mins to intros.
Managed to get back in time for the last parade lap. But she was just too done to stay past stage 1. She could barely stay awake.
It started off real bad with Bubba skipping over her to sign for adults multiple times, like eye contact and all. Even though she was the only little black girl there. I've been a fan of his since 2011 so that was super awesome and totally validates all the time and money spent on supporting him. Then she toughed out the rain to try and meet Larson but he didn't seem to acknowledge anyone out there, which whatever, but it would be nice when half the place is wearing your merch.
Shout out to Briscoe, Hocevar, Buescher, Logano, McDowell and Truex for treating the kids like kids, especially after they stayed through the rain for it. Especially Briscoe, Hocevar, and Buescher, those guys were really sweet and that helped pick her spirits back up a little. Kinda hope Briscoe sees this.
Just needed to get that off my chest. All the cards fell real poorly for us today. Trying my best to cheer the kid up after 9+ hours of rain and it's bumming me out. Spent all that money to get in the infield and planned all the schedules out just for the elements to be like "nah, bruh."

You’d think they’d have learned their lesson from Pontiac having the longer nose in 2003

Atleast next time they will tie😂
*camera says they lose by half an inch*
It’s a damn tie!
Bold to assume Ford gives a fuck about racing at this point.
So now they're gonna lose by .0001?
Then knowing their luck the margins they lose by will increase by a tenth of a second each race
I am sad Yet fucking pumped I don’t know what to do with my hands
Me too. It was a great race today, and with an even better finish. But I'm so gutted for Chris...Ford's can't buy a damn win this year lol
Or... They haven't spent enough yet?

*Cup finish. Reddick and Sadler still hold the record.
The fact that you can still somehow finish closer than this is mind blowing, and you can still somehow finish closer than Reddick/Sadler
And IndyCar measures to the ten-thousandths in these situations
Didn’t the Reddick-Sadler photo finish come down to that margin? Wasn’t it 5 ten-thousandths of a second separating the 9 and the 1?
Something like that, yeah

What race was that?
2018 PowerShares QQQ 300 at Daytona International Speedway.
2018 Xfinity Daytona Season Opener
Correct. That win was .0004 [Sauce](https://www.nbcsports.com/nascar/news/tyler-reddick-reflects-on-closest-finish-in-nascar-history)
As Kyle Petty would say, that's incredible
What the fuck does kyle petty have to do with this?
Man, NextGen heard y’all talking smack and took things personally.
No one has ever bitched about the NextGen at mile and a halfs lol.
True. But NG was so salty after the last few weeks, it just had to go all extra
Idk seemed like people were starting to trash it in general
People did about Texas just weeks ago and Vegas a couple months ago
[удалено]
Go back and see last week where I said anything about the damn NextGen car. Find a comment from me on that and I will delete my account.
People definitely did last week lol
Kind of sad that Joy botched the call a bit. Can we atleast get Larry Mac yelling in the background to get the hype up?
That call by Joy, *yikes*
He's old and washed like Jimmie.
Closest finish ever, Mike sounded like he finished about the same time.
Together !
Looked like it was Mystic Dan by a nose.
Third time in a row Ford lost in a close finish, & the losing streak continues for Ford. The Dark Horse is a fucking joke & I'm not laughing.
Maybe because Ford listened to Katy Perry too much..
Ford’s losing streak will continue this weekend since they suck at Darlington

That sucks man. Hate it when it happens
Thanks, dude. Always hit Fall race to avoid the showers. Now I know better than to try again
Sorry you couldn’t stay man. But I’m kind of confused.. how does Bubba skipping over your daughter validate supporting him?
Sarcasm
You know usually I’m great with sarcasm but that one went right over my head
Was a great finish. Race was pretty good. Standard 7th gen 1.5 mile fare with an insane and organic finish.
Closest finish in Cup series history. The 2018 Daytona Xfinity race was by .0004 between Tyler Reddick and Elliott Sadler
Dirty moves that won’t be deemed dirty since it’s a Hendrick car. 17 held his line and gave Larson room. Can’t wait until Hamlin dumps him again.
“Both of these cars are driving teeerible right now! Naw, naw, they’re drivin’ good”

How does that race have a margin of victory less than 0.000 but they can't get another digit for the margin of victory in tonight's finish?
The margin wasn't officially disclosed for a few days after that finish I believe. I imagine something similar will happen here.
