That'll probably be pretty cool actually!

Hopefully it won't be too long before they get to start a 2nd season of SRX after that race :). There's always fans at the track, but I think that's probably hard to judge as they are probably there for other races more than the SRX races.

SRX has promoters' promoters, they know that a race is a show, that events should be momentous. NASCAR has solidified this format where your favorite driver will tell you after the race that he's pretty happy with a 7th place finish just grinding to the playoffs.

Yeah NH is probably not the best place for that one.

I live in MA and I seriously contemplated going up for the double header today, mods and xfinity, but I just drove back from Maine a few days ago and the traffic was so brutal I don't even want to think about driving anywhere for a while. Plus I basically only wanted to go for the mod race which I just looked up won't be on TV until Aug 11 which sucks. I'm not sure if it was where we got to watch or that the mods are the best racing there but the last time I was up there my buddy and I went with a crew that was running in an open mod show. We ended up watching most of the race from a little pic-nic table out in the turn 3 infield and it was pretty awesome.

That's good to know. Most places I go in NH are local short tracks and last year when masks were required everywhere, including outdoors, there was a very live free or die attitude to doing that so I kinda got the feeling taking the vaccine would be taken on with a similar attitude.

I've spent a good portion of my life in New England. I have a similar attitude about New Hampshire. Then I go literally anywhere in the US and see that NH is only insane compared to like, canada and vermont.

Southern NH is just a northern extent on Massachusetts now, while northern NH is full of unemployed meth heads.

Not as much action in the final SRX race. Chase Elliott gets the win and had some nice racing with his dad in Heat 1 and the start of the Main Event.

It felt to me that Promoter Smoke overruled Driver Smoke late in the going; if it were any other driver in the field, there's a good chance he moves him.

Well maybe. But I think it might be a bad reflection on the sport if Tony Stewart is inviting Nascar legends to run races... and then spinning them out to win. "gently caress you this is my house"

I don't get what took so long to red flag? You could see the 24's oil going all over the second he hit it. Fortunately the guys who hit the tires were not injured afaik.

They wanted a couple in to move things along for TV? Did they think it would be an easy repair?

Apparently he did what you're supposed to do, since Bubba got penalized for not doing it.

Not to say there's none of that, but you're assuming that NASCAR writes/enforces rules with any conception of what the implications are of behavior/consequences in a real race.
