A restart was waved off because the orange cone was in the middle of the backstretch.

If that's not peak ARCA, I don't know what is.

WindyMan: Mar 21, 2002; Respect the power of the wind

Twitter is murmuring that the pace car was hit during the last (I think?) red flag. No video of it since it was completely glossed over during the race broadcast.

But this is ARCA. It isn't the first time it's happened.

so guys i�m thinking of getting into nascar

i watched a few race replays from 2019 and i enjoyed them

so now i feel like i should go to a race this year. how�s atlanta? whats the best race in the south worth going to?

# ? Feb 10, 2020 09:31

kidcoelacanth: Sep 23, 2009

Depends on how broadly you want to define "south," but I'd recommend Bristol or Martinsville. Short tracks rule.

# ? Feb 10, 2020 11:16

mischief: Jun 3, 2003

Martinsville is fun but Bristol is more of an experience. The scale of the track is insane and the race is usually pretty good.

Atlanta's arguably the best of the cookie cutter tracks. Bristol, Martinsville, Daytona, and Talladega would be on my "South" short list. You could also throw Darlington and Charlotte in as well.

I realize I named off most every track in the South other than Richmond and Homestead, but that's me coming to the realization that all of those are good in their own ways.

just a note that this is might be the last year that nascar is gonna look like it has for the last decade or so

for 2021, they're going to be renegotiating the track schedule and introducing their next generation car which is going to be a but more on the sportscar side of things if the tech deno reports are accurate

I mean let's keep it funky, it's probably the official importer to Saudi or elsewhere in the GCC that is then selling Hiluxes out the back door to people who then get them to the kinds of guys who mount guns in the back.

same way that newer Mercedes wound up in North Korea for Kim to use.

Steve Phelps was on SXM this morning and was indirectly non-committal on the Clash running next year, that tracks in states such as Washington, Oregon, and Colorado wouldn't get NXS or Truck races unless they met the Cup standards for both fan experience and safety, and heavily indicated a street course at/around a football stadium is likely.

I can't believe I'm sympathizing with a member of the Smith family. The MLS NASCAR-style fall from grace once people stop caring about soccer again will be interesting, too.

Also, been a good week. Met Bubba, who was loving awesome. Met Tony and Larson again, which was fun. Got lots of dirt thrown in my face, and had a loving blast.

All in all went to four nights of dirt for less than a Daytona ticket, and bonus no trump
