Or do you think Nascar is pressuring them to start saying positive things about it?

I think some do. The Hendrick cars seem to be doing well with it. But, I think there may very well be some pressure by the all-powerful Na$car to stop the complaining we heard so much of up until a couple weeks ago. I found it strange that drivers who hated it now talk it up like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I don't think it matters. This is going to be the car they are going to be driving so everyone better get with the program. It is about one of the only things NASCAR has changed in the last 7 years that makes any since. I think it makes much more since to drive a stock car ( COT) that you may see on the road than the ones they drive now. I'm sure you might have seen some ground effects and a wing on a highway car but not too many spoilers to create drag on a passenger car.

At first some of them may have been campaigning to hold off the inevitable change to the COT full time but now they are accepting their fate. Kyle will still be outspoken and other drivers will not be afraid to voice their opinions but now they are starting to see that it's maybe not all that bad. Did you all see the save that Biffle ? had during qualifying? I can't remember for sure who it was now, but he fish tailed and almost lost it. Had it not been for the rear wing it would have wrecked for sure. These cars are safer and I think all the drivers and fans can appreciate that. The racing action has been good and they seem to take more abuse than the other cars so I've definitely warmed up to it and think a lot of the drivers have also.

Have you heard the saying and I'm sure you have "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" I'm sure Nascar was tired of hearing the drivers complain so they reminded them of that saying our parents tought us. As for the Hendrick cars, the only reason why they are doing well with the COT is because they've had extensive testing with the car, or in other words they're a bunch of cheaters!

Typical business reform. Nobody likes changes. I read a great leadership book that discusses changes in business called "who moved my cheese". Please google it. If your in a supervisor or manager position, I highly recommend you read this book. Anyways, back to the subject at hand. Basically, people who didn't accept and adapt the change were left in the rear catching up. I apply this principle to NASCAR's COT. Honestly, teams that embraced and tested in advance are dominating the race (HMS).

Pressure in most cases I think, even Kyle does not like it and he won in it...Hendricks have been testing on not sanctioned tracks with hoosier tires does not conform to NASCAR's keep it all the same policy either

It does no good to complain anymore. Next year all the races will be COT.

They are just towing the NASCAR party line, like good little commies in the old USSR. No one wants to get radiation poisoning from their tea!

I believe very little the drivers say during interviews. They are like parrots, spouting the company line and dropping names. It's sooo disingenuous!
