Is the 5 lugnut thing just a carry over tradition thing? Why not go to a single, and cut all this garbage cheating out?

I've been catching up on this season on YouTube. Finished the Daytona 500 last night. HOLY gently caress that finish was awsome.

I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing so far this year.

I should be caught up in a week or so. Sounds like I have some good stuff coming!

Can't you just buy a costco sized M & M bag and a case of coke for $20? Consuming that much would be a challenge even for the best goon eaters. I am pretty sure you will go into diabetic coma anyway which if you are watching a race is a best case scenario.

Yeah but those aren't free

You fellas got any nascar podcast recommendations? I'm really loving digging these races I'm catching up on YouTube. Want to dig a bit more into the off track stuff.

Also, what are some good Dale Sr. races to watch? All the classic races I've watched with you guys in SASCAR have been great, and I'd like to watch quite a few more.

Okay last 10 laps of that 87 Winston were nuts. I expected Earnhardt to lose it after he got in the grass. That man could loving drive.

lol @ Bill Elliot crying after the race after he tried to spin Dale out twice. Maybe I'm missing something here, but nothing Earnhardt did in this race was out of line or overly aggressive?

How do you long time fans feel about what Kyle is doing? Dropping into lower tier series and gobbling up wins for track time?

I don't care for it. I feel like it's stealing thunder from the guys trying to break into cup racing? Guess it's good for competition, and makes and wins those guys DO get seem more impressive.

If NASCAR has a problem now, imagine JR retiring. That'll surely help the gate at all tracks!

Also who's this Martin Truex Jr guy? Is that the guy in Cole Pearn's car?

Grays instead of whites is a good look, my S-10 was lipstick pink with gray and yellow flames and that was #1 the thing that people noticed and liked about it

Whites are often a harsh contrast where a light gray will accentuate the other colors in a scheme

Speaking of pit stuff. Any reason they don't or can't go to a single lug on the cars? Is it just tradition at this point?
