LOL ARCA had a pack race that wasn't a parade, A Good Race, A Good Winner, and a car that spun under caution and almost got stuck on the banking. LOL ARCAtona is back baby.

Pinecone Sample posted:One of my favorite moments when they weren't showing us green flag racing was those fans sitting on infield picnic benches watching the race on Fox on the big screen. Imagine going all the way to Daytona... and having to watch on Fox. It reminded me of that one Twilight Zone episode, Michael Waltrip cackling, "this IS the other place!" I saw that and honestly can't even imagine. It's the same with the social areas they touted as part of Daytona Rising. "Hey! Come to the race and socialize with other fans while enjoying a view of scenic International Speedway Blvd and not watching the race/watching it on TV while playing cornhole." bigbillystyle posted:I went all the way to Daytona...and didn't go to Daytona. We had a buddy racing speedweeks in modifieds down in New Smyrna and we were staying at a place in Daytona. Drove by the track every day and never went. We thought about going Thursday for the Duels because neither of us had been and it was only $50 but we were having such a good time going to New Smyrna everynight we skipped Daytona. I did actually meet Michael Waltrip though. He didn't tell us we were in the other place but he was walking alone through the Hooters parking lot which was weird because the way he was headed was away from Hooters and toward...nothing. Here's a life hack if you do decide to go in future: buy a GA ticket and seat jump. The only race that sells out is the 500 and nobody seems to give a poo poo what your ticket says as long as you blend in. And maybe Mikey thought the go-kart place behind Hooters was still open, even though the total darkness might've been a clue.

For 27 years, I felt deprived that I only got to see one race there and much of my exposure to it in my formative years/the pre-internet/YouTube era was centered around running there on NASCAR Racing 2. If a race where one car stunk up the show means this track is back on the schedule in some form, so be it. I've also never seen a track with such dramatic swings in terms of a car going from trash to fast. It happened with the 41 in one of the heats and Larson in the main. E- Tl;dr, I hope Bruton was looking up and frowning. camoseven posted:Why do repaves suck? Tires don't wear as much, which can make the track easier to drive, which can make a worse/more boring race.

deety posted:I haven't followed racing in close to a decade, but I'd like to catch back up a little since I'm going to the October race in Charlotte. Who's fun to root for? All I really remember about the current drivers is that I hate Joey Logano. Do you want someone who is an underdog and who pisses off most of the field to do it? Meet Ross Chastain! How about perhaps the most talented driver of his generation but who said the gamer word on a stream during COVID and is perceived to have fallen up for his troubles (even though probably would have gone to Hendrick anyway)? It's Kyle Larson for you. Is Star Wars more your speed? The Force is strong with Ryan Blaney. What about the first African-American winner since the 1960s? Bubba.

Douchebag posted:The cup race itself was decent. Nashville is a good track. The broadcast bullshit they pulled at the beginning with Jr and Burton at the end of pit wall was a joke. I had to adjust the drat volume everytime they went to them. When they all got in the booth, it was a typical NASCAR broadcast with mediocre to bad announcing. There are too many people in the NBC booth. I know Letarte is there because of Jr but if you got rid of him and Burton and just had the lead guy and Jr I think it would flow better. Letarte has been on NBC since the start of their current stint. IIRC, Junyer said a couple years ago on DJD that it's in his contract that Letarte is required to be on any broadcast he does.

I watched the 2002 July Busch race from Daytona last night and somehow found I'm finally OK-ish with this date belonging to another race. ...but a lightning delay in Chicago while it's spectacular in Daytona today.  That said, I'm eager to see how the Cup cars do here tomorrow. The Chicago street course is alright, but I think we can do a bit better with street racing.

Not only that, it kept getting better. At one point, SVG was told he had 9.6 seconds on the next car, only to win the thing with cars in tow.

Kvlt! posted:Thank you so much! If you have a scanner that lets you freely program car numbers and are attending multiple races, consider coming up with a system to keep similar car numbers across multiple series organized. I typically use the car number and its one or two digit form for Cup, then a number to differentiate the other series (i.e., if you have multiple races with the #24, I do 24 for Cup, 247 Truck (7 looks like a T on my display, 248 Xfinity (8 looks like B, used to be the Busch Series), 249 was what I used for the Rolex Series (9/R). I also use the same number repeated three times (i.e. 999, 000) for race control and the radio and TV broadcasts so I can push it to quickly access their feeds.
