Peanut President posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liUSeI_5LUw 5/5 OP, would read again. Observations: 1) This is a fairly obvious experiment to see if it'll be feasible for the bigger schedule change in 2021, but  2) Isn't there an ARCA race thrown in there somewhere? They used to run Pocono twice. 3) gently caress this noise so hard, I've gone to that race since 2003 and the race being the playoff cutoff at the expense of losing the  date doesn't make me want to go to it more (and only makes it a harder sell to tie into a vacation at work). Unfortuately, it'll probably be 2022 before they fix it because they're going to want to see how it works before changing and the schedule comes out in April. Also,  that the excuse for poor attendance was heat, so they moved it to September and, now, back to July.4) I can't wait to see which tropical system postpones this race and/or neutral-site CFB game which will inevitably be played at Jerry World will be more of a viewership draw than this. 5) , well said. Unfortunately, this means no Leigh Diffey doing Cup.6) The most no-name to have ever no-named gets a full-time ride. 7) gently caress #8, the one true Second RCR Car Number is 31.  8) I hope Matt DiBenedetto Presented by Barstool Sports makes for a fun pairing with the Woods like Ryan Blaney was. 9) Huh. Having never won a race only gets you so far, apparently. 10) Wait, what? 11) Terry Labonte is good people and his Dale Jr. Download was a good listen.

Rent-A-Cop posted:gently caress moving the firecracker. It is heresy. Afternoon storms you can set your watch to, the primary culprit they blamed, can still happen in August, albeit they're a bit less likely. The bigger problem is it's in the prime of hurricane season and Hurricane Dorian hit the week after the 400's new date last year.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Firecracker maybe 5 years ago? They moved the start time later for TV and then didn't actually get the race started until like midnight. I know the race was moved to Sunday in 2015 in part because it was NBC's first race back but they wanted to show the NYC July 4th fireworks on Saturday. Had the race run Saturday night, it would've started on time and run to completion without delay. Going off memory (since I've been going), backed up by checking YT: -2003: started on time -2004-05: extended rain delays -2006-09: on time (2007 NXS race PPD to Saturday morning) -2010: short rain delay -2011-13: on time -2014: postponed to Sunday, rain-shortened -2015: extended rain delay (moved to Sunday night by NBC, Saturday night race would've been on time) -2016-18: on time (2017 NXS race started Friday, completed Saturday afternoon (e- after a rain delay Sat), followed almost immediately by Cup; that might be the one you're thinking of) -2019: postponed to Sunday, rain-shortened CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Really wish I could go, but it's too far away these days. I had never been to a winged sprint car race until last June, when Tony Stewart's series came to my local track. The race was entertaining and the fact that Stewart and Kyle Larson were in a small town in Ohio on a random Sunday afternoon competing against regulars was fantastic, especially since they weren't locks to win by any stretch. (Larson finished third, Stewart DNFed.)

quote:The top driver domino now has to be Daniel Suarez. SHR wanted to retain him as he had 95-percent of the funding available. He has money but now no where to go in Cup. It looks like his final prospects are with the No. 96 Toyota for Gaunt Brothers. https://racereviewonline.home.blog/2020/01/10/nascar-silly-season-update-3/ So SHR turned Suarez away because he was 5% short on the cash SHR needed him to bring to the table? They weren't able to make up the difference (or just wanted Custer in the 41 more)?

ThePopeOfFun posted:Does that hold true for teams with multiple cars? It depends. What big nipples big life said is pretty accurate these days but, at one point, Hendrick Motorsports had three cars, the 5 (Terry Labonte), 24 (Jeff Gordon) and 25 (Ricky Craven, Wally Dallenbach, Jerry Nadeau, Joe Nemechek, Brian Vickers, Casey Mears; Tony Stewart was once wanted for this car). The 5 and 24 were championship contenders, while the 25 was the third wheel and only occasionally grabbed a win. When Hendrick added the 48 for Jimmie Johnson in 2001, they weren't fast in the handful of races run that year, but gained steam quickly. In the last few years, highly-talented driver Kyle Larson was said to be the desired replacement for Gordon and Tony Stewart (the 14) but, due to his contracts with Ganassi (the 42 car), he ended up in neither; Chase Elliott replaced Gordon and Clint Bowyer for Stewart.

ThePopeOfFun posted:I guess I dont get why 5 & 24 were championship contenders. They're the same car, right? Some of it with the 25 car was driver, but I've read some of it was equipment as well. big nipples big life posted:Didn't Hendrick have 2 buildings at that time (they still might I dunno)? So it was more like 2 teams with the same name rather than 1 3 or 4 car team. I got a behind-the-scenes tour of the 24 shop in 1998 and can't remember any of the 5 cars being there, so it might actually have been 3 buildings, as the 25 shop was in the same building as the museum and could be seen from inside. They later broke out to the 24/48 and 5/25 (later 88) buildings, with the old 25 shop I guess being used when they ran that #60 as an R&D car with David Green. e- Using another '90s example, Jeff Burton said on DJD that there was active competition at Roush between his team (the 99) and Mark Martin/Ted Musgrave (the 6/16)'s early on because they didn't operate from the same shop.
