Appearances of long skater bro hair, flat-billed hats, and FOX Racing gear on fans become more common across the circuit. They then leave when they watch races and see no ramps or pyrotechnics.

What the gently caress, pick 59, YOU MORONS YOU RAN 59 IN THE BUSCH SERIES AND IT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR NUMBER.

e- That "3" doesn't even look right. Go get 59 from Leavine and give them a holiday gift basket for it or something right now.

I wondered if it was intentionally the Dale "3". The variably-sized numbers look like something out of ARCA where a low-budget team adds a second car and has to awkwardly get a second number on a backup car from the primary team.

37 wouldn't have been awful if I weren't such a car number nerd and aware of the team having 59 and it essentially being right...there. Should've offered Leavine a sampler of all the companies on the 47's products.

David Ragan goes back to Front Row to join Landon Cassill.

The Woods get a Charter off lease from GoFAS Racing, which reveals to me that the only benefit of the Charters to smaller teams is that they can pawn them to bigger teams for additional revenue, which is ironic because that's what the Charter was meant to do for them.

When your only other choice is not watching racing, they're fine.

Hopped back into iRacing after a year and 2nd race in went against an old truck winner, Donny Lia in the old K&N car at Michigan. He snookered me in the start but closed in and beat him.

Followed that up in 3rd race back in iRacing after a year hiatus and effortlessly beat everyone at Michigan. Passed 3 on the start, someone dropped out in the race and ran through my car and no 4x luckily, and just scared 1st and 2nd by intimidating and pestering them. Drove off with just driving at 80%

Then went into Trucks at Talladega, got a lucky dog in 9th on a gwc, got to fifth, and netcode broke and crashed the top 5 including me. :v:

I almost never go for wins, and I never qualify. I start in the back and shoot for top 10's. If I'm there at the end, then I drop the hammer.

I did exactly that. Well I qualified but I moved back to let them kill each other. Just happened only 5 guys were left to fight for the win and we all wrecked. I literally didn't hit the brakes til I was sideways going into the inside wall with the guy I was tandeming.

Stupid thing I noticed via the google machine.

In "TALLADEGA NIGHTS" there's a 1969 Chevelle driven by Ricky Bobby's dad. One stupid thing I noticed is that...the paint scheme is based on an old Smokey Yunick car.



Really I'm looking for an excuse to get Viking to go off about Smokey Yunick,. (Please do so.)

(Did you know one of his cars is very proudly displayed in the IMS Museum right now? :unsmith:)
