Well, there's NASCAR's justification for taking races from Dover and Pocono in favor of ISC properties.

And nothing of value was lost.

But they'll just give em to kansas and chicago so it's a wash.

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

Drone cam is neat, sure, but mostly useless when everybody is going flat out around an oval.

Drone cam is great for road courses and rovals. I would honestly love to see it at places like Sebring or Road America, especially to show the different class battles and speed differences.

Is Newman alive?

Dude has made his career out of throwing lovely blocks, and has never showed an ounce of remorse or given a poo poo no matter what happens. The times I've met him he was an absolute cock even to his fans.

Like I'm not hoping he died, but poo poo like that is the eventual result of racing like that and not once being punished for it.

Blaney said the other night he got to the point where he realized he wasn't winning the race and his goal was to try and push Newman across the line so a Ford would win over a Toyota.


So his hospitalization was due to oxygen deprivation?

He also said that point was when newman flew down on the block. Which then caused the wreck.

I dont know how much crossover there is, but when Dinner with Racers dropped 17 podcasts the other day it included a lot of nascar guys.

Ray Evernham, kyle petty, David kaemmer (not nascar guy, but he was behind the papyrus games), boris said, Geoff bodine, terry labonte, and morgan shepherd. Plus their back catalog has a ton more, and their amazon show has episodes about The Poster and smokey.

Day before the 500, Xfinity doubleheader

I vote trucks and arca run at the same time. While they're making improvements, might as well start multi class as well. Cant do xfinity and cup on the oval at the same time, or people will finally see that xfinity is usually a more entertaining car.

Just imagine arca, trucks, xfinity and cup on the daytona roval together.

As long as its applied evenly.

SRO this weekend at COTA had a qualifying time get disallowed for track limits, and then allowed passing via that same spot for every race all weekend.

Welcome to hell: the Gooncar Binston Cup! Saturdays 2240UTC!



This series uses the 'legacy' Chevy Silverado truck, which is part of the free content package. All tracks used are free except Iowa, and if you make it to Iowa you're probably invested enough to buy the best goddamn oval in the game.

There's a 2 week break because on those dates 80% of the regulars will be running one of the road endurance events (Suzuka 12hrs, Nurburgring 24hrs respectively).

Oh I am so in on this.

Normally open but gooncar is chill and I doubt someone is gonna run a super dope setup or anything.

There was one guy who kept backing the field up on an oval because "he was the leader and he set the pace" which caused us to run an entire race under yellow because of collisions on restarts lol.

Edit this was 5(?) Years ago tho lol.

There is almost nothing more annoying on ovals than the guy on pole slow rolling a loving start

So do the teams usually swap out pit crew members or are they usually the same crews from race to race?

Running 2 races a week is probably going to take a pretty big toll on the drivers and also the pit crews if they don't rotate.

I mean sure they do lots of practice and qualifying during the week so maybe it's not so crazy... might get some fun drama come June when these guys are not going to be getting much time to cool off after people dump them in the wall...

Oh god I cannot wait for petulant KyBu and even more loving annoying chase.
