Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it loops back to what I said before: these are all long established drivers. Not young guns coming in and showing the old guard how to win but old drivers. That's the problem.

We were promised young drivers winning, and that's not happening.

Hell, even the mid-career guys like Logano, Keselowski and Stenhouse are getting their asses beat this year.

I mean, of all the "Young Drivers" (and for the record, I'm going to count Larson in here), Larson has the most success. Chevy is utter dogshit this year though so I'm not entirely faulting him on that one.

Blaney and A. Dillon the only young drivers to have won in Cup and not pull a win out at a plate track.

For every win Larson gets, he or the team shoot themselves in the dick 3 times.

Like, who's doing the best so far? What was that crazy things did A. Dillon have on his wheels just now? What about some twitter questions? Why did Jones spin? What are some driver thoughts on the track?

Come on!

Johnny Sauter will drive the 23 this weekend in New Hampshire. Our man Spence is still good, it just looked to be something the team had previously planned.

It is, clear down to the jumping out of line in the last quarter mile or so to try and win the stage.

The whole tour is basically like a NASCAR season, really. Each stage has a winner and a Victory Lane and the time determining the overall winner is akin to the old point system.

If anybody else is at the airport in Daytona and sees the vertically challenged grown man wailing while watching this, come say hi.

Also, this airport is cool for showing racing at the gate.

I can't see the race- define "GA". The GA bleachers are right in the middle of 1 and 2 way off the track. The reserved stands are between there and the middle of 3 and 4.

...that said, somehow, attendance has been noticeably lighter then last couple of years.

My dad is saying the same thing. I'm hoping I can avoid spoilers until tomorrow afternoon and that I can find a full version on YouTube, because the race itself is only about an hour and a half.

Middle of the week, and this year has sucked balls. Hard to get people to come out.

Plus, iirc, last year was a massive dust fest like 10 laps in.

Also they don't televise the modifieds so gently caress nascar.
