Daytona. "We'll take it from here" is their tagline and it's really good.

Forgot to set my Fantasy lineup until Friday. All four drivers were in the Top 11 at the white. None of them ran out of gas. :psyboom:

Smoke was having a good day until his wreck, to be fair. Racin'.

Gordon/Kes is on YouTube and was fueled in part by the fact that Gordon secretly knew he was going to announce his retirement that offseason and 2014 may have been his last, best chance at another title.

Agreed. I'm only saying that now because the race was spoiled by FS1 while I was watching the race. I tried to DVR the race live Monday but somehow that didn't work and instead had to DVR the replay of it. During the replay of the race they were also SCROLLING THE RESULTS of it across the bottom line ticker. I get that it is a race that already happened but if you're going to the trouble of playing it a second time you'd think that at least some people out there are seeing it for the first time and don't want the results scrolled across the bottom of the screen because they don't know what happened yet. Whatever, on to Michigan.

I'm using rabbit ears for TV for a couple days and found that I actually do get American Sports Network, which I turned to and found ARCA from Salem on right now.

If you're interested in seeing some of the ARCA races they have this year, here's an affiliate list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sports_Network#List_of_affiliates

They're also apparently showing Smoke's All-Star Sprint Cars series a few times:

quote:

The tape-delayed schedule kicks off with the May 21 race at Wilmot (Wis.) Raceway and continues with the May 27 race from Attica (Ohio) Raceway Park. The schedule also includes the Ohio Sprint Speedweek finale at Eldora Speedway, the Lou Blaney Memorial at Ohio’s Sharon Speedway, the inaugural Dirt Classic Indiana at Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway, and the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions season finale at Ohio’s Atomic Speedway.

quote:

“My big thing is that I don’t want somebody that is invested in another team talking about my race car in a derogatory form or a perceived derogatory form. I don’t think that is right and I am going to defend my team in those situations no matter who it is. It doesn’t have to be one particular person. Beyond that, I think he has a position that requires his insight but there are some limitations to what insight I think is fair play for that position when you are still invested in the sport. I feel like that was over the line.”

"Right, but don't pay attention to the fact that my jackman leaned into the door to dent the car in a manner which would create a potential advantage like we also may or may not have done at Las Vegas. Pay attention to the obvious bias displayed by the investor in the team which partially helped me get to Sprint Cup in the first place. I take offense to the fact that he's picking on MY TEAM for something they most obviously did and, in true 21st Century fashion, can't accept that my metaphorical family did something wrong and was called out for it. Shame on him for daring to criticize our ingenuity."

Chase Elliott notably missing.

E: For the record, I think it's cool of Bubba, Kyle, Jimmie and Joey to participate in this. Nothing against them. I just think Brian France saying he supports the fight against discrimination while supporting a presidential candidate who wants to ban entire groups of people from entering the country is pretty disingenuous.

That's why I'm going to focus on this. Also because I think Larson and Bubba are awesome. Hopefully Brian France can limit his bumbling ineptitude to the racetrack, at least until November.
