Dale Jr is still a good listen, the the Bobby episode is really good especially considering his rep was Terry's boring little brother.

Pit road and post race incidents. Note how Gragson throws a huge punch while Hemric is headlocked by Gragson's team member. Real bitch poo poo

That pit lane dogshit would get you insta fired if I was a team owner. Do not gently caress around when dudes are over the wall.

Stenhouse? Nah. It's Ricky Roundhouse now.

Nice little move from Hemric there. Step back from the Gragson's first swing then right back at him with a counter.


I don't like that, just as Cygni said, loving around with guys over the wall like that is just plain stupid and dangerous. If you're mad a guy on the track get him on the track or after the race, don't put the crew guys in danger. No penalty there basically green lights minor, purposeful, contact on an active pit road.

Virtual or not people watch the iRacing stuff and he's pretty good at it so it is a good way to give a leg up to an underfunded team to get their sponsors on tv for positive reasons like beating the best in the sport in equal equipment. Pretty lovely they'd leave him out for whatever reason. I guess it's time to expand my backmarker team merch closet and support him in some way. I already have a Corey Lajoie hat and sweatshirt.

Given that its a fictional course, its such an unbelievably loving lame layout that you would confuse it for being something considered for reality.

The addition of the Chicago street course to iRacing leads to the next question: Is this in preparation for a street course on the actual NASCAR Cup Series schedule? "The impetus right now is solely that virtual event and bringing that to life on June 2," said NASCAR Vice President Ben Kennedy, who handles NASCAR’s scheduling initiatives. "That’s been our focus in the near-term. "If there is an opportunity to explore different types of venues or new markets in the future, I think there are certainly a ton of options out there, whether it’s Chicago or other markets."

NASCAR is working with The Specialized Marketing Group Inc. in Chicago on its potential street race, and TSMGI helped with the development of this course. They worked with the city to momentarily shut down streets on the circuit last fall to allow for a moving scanning truck that collected data for iRacing, which NASCAR has used to create prototypes of tracks to determine what works best. For instance, iRacing created the half-mile track that NASCAR will convert Auto Club Speedway into after the 2022 Cup race. It also created the chicane coming out of Turn 4 on the Daytona road course.

It would seem that all this work has to be for more than an iRacing event. It should give NASCAR and TSMGI a foundation for additional talks with city leaders about a potential race. This shows that NASCAR has done its homework from a competition standpoint and shows why it would want to use certain streets. The imagery and research certainly could help convince skeptical government officials of what the event could look like.

"On behalf of the City of Chicago, I am thrilled to work with NASCAR and iRacing to showcase our great city to NASCAR fans who will be watching this cutting-edge event from around the country," Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot said in a statement.

The Chicago Sports Commission also was involved in working with NASCAR and TSMGI. CSC Executive Director Kara Bachman said in a statement that the virtual race is a "huge milestone" for the group.

"CSC and its partners, such as TSMGI who has been integral in securing this event, have long awaited the opportunity to collaborate with NASCAR," Bachman said. "The iRacing Pro Invitational Series is the perfect virtual launching pad and a testament to NASCAR’s innovation."

Kennedy was noncommittal on whether a Cup race on the streets of Chicago could be a reality in 2022.

"Still a ton of work to do on the 2022 schedule," Kennedy said. "It will be a while before we start announcing anything there. We are in the preliminary stages of that, but more to come sometime this summer."
