News and Notes
- Chase Elliott got in a sticky situation and lost 15 points, including playoff points for a stage win. The yellow tape used to show playoff driver was sticking up too much on the rear spoiler for an aero advantage. Oh, OK?
- Kasey Kahne has a ride for next year at Levine Family Racing, pushing out Michael McDowell.
- Debuting last week was a new combination template/laser inspection process. Cameras and lasers do the car checkout faster than the hard templates method. The new system is being tested on non-playoff teams before using it all races next year. Maybe spoiler tape will checked with this new way?
- TV ratings - 1.4/2.3M viewers, blaming Irma for the lowest rated/viewed Chicagoland race and lowest in both categories of any playoff race back to 2004. Last year was 1.6/2.4M viewers, 2015 was 1.9/3.2M viewers and 2014 was 2.3/3.7M viewers.
