Most recent I can think of is BP and Jenkins during ABC telecasts before Evernham joined them in 2000. Otherwise a 2 man team hasn't been used since the 80s i'm guessing.

Also to balance out a good Ryan Newman sponsor and scheme, with an absolutely horrible sponsor that deserves being put in the wall on lap 1.

my thoughts while watching the first race in a good long while:

-drat I just noticed the classic Ward Burton CAT scheme in the field, that thing owns
-do you think the guy racing the #3 feels a lot of pressure to live up to that number's legacy

In the sense of keeping his ride, never since he's the owner's grandson. Austin probably knows he won't get 7 championships, but he can toot his horn already having a 500 win a few years back.

Holy gently caress how is he alive? Glad that he's still living. That was one of the most vicious hits I've seen since Wheldon or Bodine.

my god what are their cost savings from not having to set up god knows how many cameras and airfare and lodging for all those techs this may be the most profitable motorsports coverage they've had in decades

Just gotta pay the booth crew, the sound guy and half a dozen iracing subs for spectator mode at the director's console

I think they said the feed is from iRacing devs, so just feeding in that feed with other driver's webcams so even cheaper to not have to pay iRacing for all the advertising they're doing for them right now.

Bristol sucks in sim unless you’re racing in 3rd person view. It’s too much to handle spatially. If they do Martinsville it’ll probably be the same thing. Plus unless you have an actual human spotter the automated one just can’t keep up

That and I feel some of these guys are still trying to get used to how these cars feel, so not shocking the race was like watching a Class D race. Think it was Bowyer who commented that it's so much easier to spin guys out in iRacing that bump and runs just end up with spinning the guy out. A good thing to come out of it is all the feedback from these drivers can give.

I'm seeing almost no news articles about this. Theres one on racefans.net and unsurprisingly, you shouldn't read the comments.
Articles are starting to pop up now with AP, CBS News, WaPo, and others.

I'm not posting the tweet but Trump decided to chime in on the all the stuff this morning with Bubba Wallace and the Confederate flag this morning. You can guess it's pretty stupid and racist as gently caress.

Given the late timing I wonder if the outburst is because of the photos of the wrecked 32 going around

That's what I'm thinking seeing that in his replies angered him and seeing that Bubba finished 9th probably got him to go a little mental this morning.

e: Tyler Reddick is pretty drat cool and good
