The start of this season has the feel of 2014 when Harvick won the title. Right now he has speed on a very consistent basis; whereas, a number of the other cars are fast for only parts of the race. Elliott seems to be the only Chevy driver that is showing speed in most every race. Larson has been hit and miss. The other Chevy teams are just holding on until they can figure the new car. Hamlin, Busch and Truex are the only Toyota drivers who are showing any consistency.
It has been an odd year so far.
