Yeah he drove right into Larson's LR. Suprised to see Greg make a mistake like that. Sometimes you need to know when to lift and fight another lap. Stutts did a similiar rookie move when he tried to put his car between Rico and the wall, when Rico had position on him.

not a hodnett fan, but greg really didnt make a mistake? hodnett may have come up a little bit but larson also came down to enter the corner, which would have been fine if no one is running on the inside

Well it was a "racing thing", but Hodnett wrecked & Kyle didn't, so "mistake" goes to Hodnett.... matter of inches either way, which separates the good from the great....

Is Hodnett struggling? Yes,but is it also a number of other factors as well?
DD hitting his prime
Lucas Wolfe returning to full-time PA schedule
Young drivers like Freddie, Zearfoss, Starks, Cisney, etc. starting to rapidly improve & compete on a regular basis
Veterans like DeWease, Monteith, Blaney, Stutts, etc. capable of winning any time out
Hodnett is down a little, but how much of it is based soley on his performance or on everyone else starting to catch up?

Echoing what wolfgang29 said, Hodnett has done alright in the 360 car. Are they that much better than the other 360's around or is it a case of the other 410's being that much tougher this year?

He's 0 for 2 at Selinsgrove in the 360, top 5 both times I believe.

I hear what you're saying and it might be true to a degree, but that team has been out to lunch this year. Lets be honest, Greg is an Outlaw caliber driver that decided all those years ago to become and stay a local. With that said he's just looked bad at some of the races. He also has had some really crummy pill draws and qualifying runs along with some bad luck too. I can't imagine Greg forgot how to wheel racecar, and I can't imagine his crew all of a suddent forgot how to setup a car. Greg is really modest, but he's good enough that he can carry a car that isn't perfect and run 5th when the car should have run 8th or 9th. Something is different and it's got them all scratching their heads I'm sure
Greg mentioned in an interview it feels like something changed in the tires. He actually mentioned multiple teams have said the same to him, but Hoosier says everything is the same as last year. So, IDK what the deal would be there. It's the same for everybody so, there are no excuses really. They just gotta figure it out. Maybe they are over thinking it and they collectively have worked their setups way off their baselines. Dunno....
