Yeah, putting stages on the Daytona 500....

I was going to take the night off to watch it but gently caress it. This whole thing is retarded.

A Good Race

Agreed. That was legit. Cautiously optimistic for the 500.

Apparently GMS is using Hendrick power now. Well you know there is a vacancy of a big team for Hendrick to have as a satellite team....

He's still going to wreck. Just faster.

Are there any good season review videos for the 80s 90s and 00s anywhere?

Just find another racing car series to watch.

Old footage is just going to make the inevitable more painful. We saw some cool poo poo, you didn't.

I heard rallycross is pretty brotastic. Open wheel is still putting on a few good shows. Your local dirt track will put on a better race than anything you'll see on TV at least once a week.

I'm assuming the infield is below track level to help with the sightlines?

It's not anything like Bristol.
The old cheap seats we used to sit in are covered up now but when the cars came by you could just the the roof decal until they came into the middle of the turn.

There are I think three major grandstands now and there isn't really a terrible seat in them. I've always liked the AAA'ish end of the Bill France tower, right around the middle and close to an exit. I demand hot dogs and somewhere to piss. Good view of the exit to start/finish and turn three, for whatever reason lots of clownshoes in three.

Edit: Go early and hang out/tailgate in the grass parking areas. We ended up with a bunch of free white liquor last time I went and got to see a guy try to jump the creek in his Volvo. Ruled.

Ok, so. Mod post inbound. You didn't gently caress up, so this isn't anything bad.

But I need your help. I'm going to be running a competition on the 28th regarding all three races, and I need a description of the Coke 600 (such as history, why it's important, etc) for the eventual thread OP. Best submission one will get featured in it (and perhaps some bonus points for it)! PM me, or if you don't have plat, quote this post with your submission. Thank you!

100 more miles of intermediate hell. Because gently caress you, that's why. Drink Monster.

You know NBC just offloaded all their Premier League coverage onto an app that costs 50 dollars right? Maybe don't let NBC run streaming.

Wait, what?

Edit: You mean except for all the matches i can still watch on cable?

It's especially amusing considering that up until the last year or so I was still getting picked on for being one of two or three Junior fans around here.
