The #88 car now says he is having trouble his transmission. Will this help him or hurt him in Sunday's race?

May be...

This will hurt him, because going in and out of the pits, you have to shift gears, even on restarts. If he can't get through the gears, he can't get up to speed quite as fast, and he will get either run over from behind and wrecked, or just fall out of the main pack. They will have to fix the problem if they want a chance at the win tomorrow.

Transmission problems certainly can't help! However, it could be a ploy for sympathy since Jr's embarrassing performance last Sunday left a lot of people feeling bad about him. Time will tell. I'm rooting for Tony, Mark and Carl!

Hendricks cars have been doing that here, and there...
It can't hurt too much, because if they need to change
it, he would have to start at the rear on Sunday, and
they already are at the rear...
Tranny problems only slow the car in, and out of the pits,
and on restarts...
What lame brain would ever get the idea that it would create
"an excuse" for slow practice, and qualifying??
They don't shift, in practice, or qualifying...
Oh never mind.. The question was rhetorical.. I already found the lame brain... lol

better now then tomorrow

How could any transmission problem help you?

v

If in fact dale has a tranmission problem that couldnt be good, how could it be good?

Would your car run good with trans. problems?

wait...what?

I think that's a great excuse for Dale Jr. to make use for running so poorly.

Well if they are allowed to change it...might be OK but if not...thats a serious problem. It certainly won't help.

If I were Tony Jr I'd be pissed he said it did this one time yesterday, now they might have to change it out. Hopefully this will work out but this could be a problem tomorrow..

Go Dale Jr & Hmsomega battery pack
