I'm not posting the tweet but Trump decided to chime in on the all the stuff this morning with Bubba Wallace and the Confederate flag this morning. You can guess it's pretty stupid and racist as gently caress.

Perhaps now NASCAR can stop having de facto campaign rallies for him at their crown jewel race.

I assume leadership will "no comment" even harder than they did with the bad chair sports site.

Given the late timing I wonder if the outburst is because of the photos of the wrecked 32 going around

That's what I'm thinking seeing that in his replies angered him and seeing that Bubba finished 9th probably got him to go a little mental this morning.

...I heavily qualified that sentence. It's probably not going to happen even taking into account it hasn't been particularly hard to social distance at the 400 in the pre-COVID world for the last few years.

e- Apparently Watkins Glen may not be able to host their race due to COVID, which I'm guessing is why they're considering the Daytona Roval.

Hold up, since when does KCMG (a Hong Kong-based sportscar team) have connections with RCR? That’s kinda wild.

But yeah good on Reddick, and NASCAR in general. Also will have to find a way don’t worry I know how to watch if they run the Daytona roval.

This owns, but please strike my previous post from the record, as :lol:, I would probably pass on day races at Daytona in May-October even without a pandemic.

e- They're also asking for the road course races to be rain delayed with those garbage-rear end 3pm start times...unless it means we finally get rain tires in a points-paying Cup race. :getin:

I feel like it has to be at least partially lit, as I've never seen the infield portions completely dark during the Rolex or Paul Revere 250 since I started watching sports cars in the mid-2000s. The issue might be with headlights as, for the 2006 IROC race, they had to retrofit the cars with headlights.

I went to the Roar Before The 24 a couple times and seem to remember the infield being decently lit when I went for the night portion.

E- if I remember right, they would run the July Rolex race with only a third of the grandstand lights on.

They installed lightning now. Just a few years ago the infield was pitch fuckin black at night, not a single stand light around. You can see all the new lights in this vid:

They were saying on the IMSA broadcast last week that they have the lights turned down for them, so I think they can go full bright if needed.

They turn them down, but even at full brightness they're not omg bright. It's probably doable but it's gonna be a clusterfuck.

I can't wait.

If you mean the airport it is part of, no. Airport operations aren't affected by the track.

If you mean can you just drive onto it and race......kinda? They might get mad at you about it tho
