Good to see Bobby win another one. hopefully the team is on track for another championship.

 

at least the dodges are good in the series where EVERYONE ELSE is aerodynamically poor...

 

Actually the Dodges are probably the least aero than all the trucks. The ford is probably the most aero, then the gm crap, then Dodge. The Dodge makes alot of downforce which is what makes the big difference. that and we have bigger horses than everyone else.
