Dega's pavement is super smooh. I expect the same thing we saw at Daytona with more room! Dega is wider & bigger. The "push drafting" started at Dega last fall, but only a few teams did it...at Daytona they all did it. Expect it at Dega

It started at Dega WAY before last fall. It started around 2007, a couple races after they repaved it. ESPN called it draft-lock, but no one could really explain it at the time.

Ryan..if Robby just ran 25th every week at all the cookie cutters and short tracks...got top 15s at the RP races and won a road course race and top 10 in the other...

Yes he would make the Chase more often than not under the current rules...

And in all honesty I don't think that is out of the realm of possibility for this team...but a certain amount of luck is needed to finish every race and not have any blown motors/random blown tires that hurt you...

Most wins not in the top 10, but has to be in the top 20. If tied, goes by driver points. Two wins isn't required, but being in the top 20 is.

nope...spots 11 and 12 in the Chase are determined by the drivers who are ranked in the top 20 in pts who have the most wins...

That could be 1, could be 2, could be 0

If 0 or in case of a tie in wins...then Ties are broken by points position, then by 2nd place finishes, 3rd, etc.
