Eh, it's Nascar. No matter what storylines or whatever they try to do. Deep down, you just have to accept it's a redneck republican series. Not gonna have Bernie there waving a flag.

CactusWeasle posted:Something I noticed - on Friday night, Ty Majeski flipped on his roof and they spent quite a while talking to him, and many minutes to slowly turn the truck back over. Well considering Newman has serious injuries. He was probably both not conscious and probably visibly injured to the medical staff. So no time to waste getting him out of the car and getting treatment started.

I am kind of surprised that they completely called out Kyle Larson for losing his ride at the beginning though... straight up said he used a racial slur during an iracing event and lost his ride to Matt.

So do the teams usually swap out pit crew members or are they usually the same crews from race to race? Running 2 races a week is probably going to take a pretty big toll on the drivers and also the pit crews if they don't rotate. I mean sure they do lots of practice and qualifying during the week so maybe it's not so crazy... might get some fun drama come June when these guys are not going to be getting much time to cool off after people dump them in the wall...

So they are doing the starting order by flipping the finishing positions of 1st-20th from the previous race and keeping 21st-40th the same... That's gotta suck for those that got caught up in wrecks in the previous race. Big old gently caress you for loving up, start from the back! Also looks like they have moved the start time up because it's going to get rained out tomorrow too

I could believe that Kyle made a mistake and was just trying to get in line. But it's gonna be interesting to see how they race against each other in the next race when they don't even get to run any laps before the next green flag...

Kyle Busch still running the Xfinity races is pretty crazy. Dudes racing 4 races in a week... he's probably having a blast though because his brain is just about racing.

Well then he's truly a madman if he's going to run a race 4 days in a row. How are the truck drivers even supposed to compete with what I assume is no practice against a guy that's already had 900 miles of practice on the track... (I guess the same could be said with the Xfinity series too)

Getting all the bad tracks out of the way in case they can have fans at some races in the fall... But drat, that July 11-23rd stretch is pretty crazy... 4 different tracks in 4 entirely different locations in 12 days... plus these are going to be a lot of hot as gently caress races in a row for the drivers, pit crews and the cars to deal with.

Pinecone Sample posted:I know a couple of tracks have done college discounts and stuff, but that's what they need more of, and let them know that you can bring your own beer to on raceday. To talk more about physics on the broadcasts and appeal to enginerds. Honestly, they've already shown they can survive without any fans in the stands. Maybe they should consider making the tickets dirt cheap so people can actually take their family to a race and not spend $1,000. But Nascar being the only sport really going at the moment and doing a bunch of positive poo poo to get rid of their redneck fanbase, it's probably going to bring in some of the young adults that used to watch it when they were kids...
