I think if nascar sticks to their guns they will eventually drive most of these awful people away from the sport, it will take awhile but hopefully new fans that aren't lovely racists can keep the numbers from falling too much.

It's not a party until the bomb squad says it is
I know they had a good start with the Atlanta thing with stopping the cars on the pace laps and gave the little speech, but perhaps another of those is needed today and more strongly worded like 'we dont want you associated with our sport, your so called beliefs are from the dinosaur era you arent welcome at our properties '

There HAS to be camera everywhere, right? I mean racists are dumb as poo poo so surely there's crystal clear 4k footage of something that generations of inbreeding attempted to form into a face.

You would think so... but I would imagine teams wouldn't want cameras in the garages... some nonsense about not getting on camera trying to cheat or giving other teams access to what your team is doing to the car...

the Cup Series sure was, that's for sure

anyway what's the deal with all the slowpokes? rough qualifying sessions at the track? couple guys were down a lap only a handful in. I think I heard something about failed inspections before the race? I would have thought Talladega would have no problem fielding lead-lap cars but I also don't know poo poo about NASCAR anymore

I think once you’ve experience a rainout at least once television’s opinion should just go to hell

Same airmass as yesterday = same convective potential = same timing for rain = oh hey it’s raining who could’ve guessed

I know the sport relies on the advertising but yeah I agree. If Fox doesn't want to air the poo poo at the reasonable and logical time for the event to occur, then gently caress 'em. Let people write angry letters and hatemail (and I bet a lot of NASCAR fans are part of demographic to still be writing letters to their local broadcaster)

Same. That was legit moving.

In regards to fans leaving the sport because they can't wave racist flags, isn't it nice when the trash takes itself out?

I'm looking forward to the shitshow if Wallace wins this thing. The media will laud him, appropriately. And all the racists will out themselves by claiming the other drivers conspired to help him win.
