Now you got no fans, what the heck

They're planning for 30,000 fans at Bristol, which I guess can work with distancing in the stands but that's a lot of people!

Not sure about that, but there was talk of an indoor track near Pittsburgh in the 2000s which never materialized.

Disagree, there have been actual passes for the lead.

I'm a few days late to this but I thought it was one of the more interesting races at the front in a while. It seemed that there were really 4 cars that had a shot at it for the most part between the 8, 9, 11, and 12.

I was starting to think this last week, but since he had a good run again is it possible Tyler Reddick might be the real deal? It seems RCR as a whole is a little bit better this year than previous years but at the beginning of the season if I were to chose 1 driver between Cole Custer in SHR equipment and Tyler Reddick in RCR equipment to have a better season, and I know it's early still, I don't think I would've picked Reddick. Reddick is 17th in points, 2 behind Austin Dillon for 16th, and he's nearly 100 points ahead of Custer. To this point even Ryan Newman has 10 more points than Custer and he's missed 3 races.

I do some DraftKings stuff, for like no money just for fun. I put in a couple $0.25 lineups a week. I'm not exactly sure how legal DraftKings is state to state though. I lose or break even for the most part though last week I cleaned up, won $1.50 on 1 $0.25 lineup. Rolling in it.

I did a little betting on the 500 through My Bookie but, again, I'm not sure how legal that is stateside as they payout mostly in bitcoin and if you don't take bitcoin I think you have to pay a fee to get paid out, or maybe there is a minimum payout if you aren't getting it in bitcoin. I don't know since I've not won any significant money on that site and mostly just take any winnings and leave them to cover future losses. Single driver bets usually have pretty good odds like the highest favorites for any one race are like +400 - +600 and you can bet as little as $1.00.

I like betting but I like being able to make a lot of bets so for me I'd rather only have like $20 laid out on any particular weekend but it's across like 20 different bets. For the amount of times the bets don't come in it sure makes it a lot easier to swallow that way.

Dale Jr. says the driver's number is the driver's identity and putting sponsor decals, especially in an era of rotating sponsors, where the number goes is no good if the number size is reduced.

Also, apparently the RTA "owns" the space where contingency decals used to go.

Aside from it basically being impossible to have a single sponsor season now, I know the marketing guys think, more sponsors, more diecasts, shirts, hats, etc that people will buy because people will want the whole set but it has had the opposite effect on me. I just gave up on buying hats and shirts because the fronts of them are whatever the sponsor is and the name or number is hidden somewhere on the back or the side. Like I don't give a gently caress about Monster Energy but I would buy a black hat with a #1 on it with a small Monster logo tucked onto the side or the back. I don't even know what Axalta is and I'm supposed to wear a billboard for it because Bowman's name is hidden somewhere on it, or little 88 is on the back? I just gave up. I'm wearing the couple racing hats I have left until they are completely destroyed and that is probably it. At least stick and ball sports teams have the team logo on the front and not the title sponsor of the arena.

I bought a Ryan Blaney Menards trucker cap last year from the tents at the Daytona Flea Market because I liked the look of the hat, but even then, it was overpriced. I had considered buying one of the uniform shirseys but it was like $35 and the only PPG shirt I could find was at the souvenir hauler for about the same price.

Many teams and drivers have their own online shops separate from NASCAR's own, if you're looking for different designs. It looks like a lot of NAME\NUMBER\sponsor type shirts are fairly easy to find. Hats are kind of the opposite though, yeah.

Yeah this poo poo is cringey as gently caress and lots of the Indycar hats are the exact same way. Thankful I was able to get a Wickens cap that was pretty free of BS.
