I'm not a regular NASCAR fan (watched it some when I was a kid and I'll watch the occasional gif on Twitter), so I'm asking this sincerely: what are the signs here that this crash is worse than average? I feel like every NASCAR crash gif I've ever seen looks absolutely horrific to the same degree as this. Is it being airborne, or part of the trunk being ripped off signalling the intensity of the initial impact?

Nah all that body work is basically tissue paper it's that you can see where the absurdly strong welded tube rollcage that is the actual frame the rest of the car is bolted to has failed in several points, particularly the way all the structure in the drivers door region is collapsed 10-12 inches behind the plane of the wheels.

Has it been mentioned that Myrtle Beach Speedway has been sold for demolition and redevelopment contingent on a rezoning that is effectively certain to happen?

I, for one, am glad to see your visionary realization of "Old races are better to watch" has gone mainstream.

If Fox makes this a regular thing they better bust out Motegi '98. Giant Darlington was a fuckin' trip and it's a tragedy that they only went once.

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

There's a thread... somewhere. I'll try to dig it up but your goal should be to actively avoid everyone else on the track and give no fucks for anything but safety rating until you get out of the rookie license.

For the love of god get out of rookie license. And don't buy tracks yet.
