He ran K&N regional races, random truck races, and eventually I think maybe 2013 a full Xfinity season. As freakishly naturally talented as he is he has definitely struggled with stock cars. He always showed up for the fans though, generally ended up in the stands signing shirts and stuff if/when he wrecked. I think he had a fuckin' rad livery as well but not sure.

Looking forward to either him or Jimmie causing a big mess.

I just want to point out that somehow NASCAR allowed 2 Bears 1 Cave to film a show officially at the track last weekend and :lol:.

Arguably one of the funniest Door, Bumper, Clear episodes yet this week.

How did Nascar agree to sponsor 2 Bears 1 Cave? Like who really missed that memo and thought HEY SURE fat white dudes on a podcast? Kreischer is a loving train wreck and Segura is just barely a human being. It is incredible.

Especially when last year's fall race was actually a good race and the collective of fans was basically like after that how could you put dirt back on this track? NASCAR or somebody within must own a Tennessee clay quarry or someshit. I think my favorite part of the race was Bowyer being like, big thank you to the track crew for giving us such a great racing surface while Fox showed closeups of the giant holes in turn 3 all night.

Isn't most of the dirt reused? I feel like I read that somewhere. Either way, Bristol has sucked balls for a while.

The truck race was fun, Cup stuff felt more like a test session than anything but ultimately it was a cool day of racing to see for a lot of different reasons. Unique track, unique time frame, neat to see them messing around with wet tires. They seemed to have a ton of grip that fell off really quickly but to be fair they were running them on a realistically dry track surface.

One of my buddies was out at the Lowe's VIP area and said it seemed like a good crowd that enjoyed themselves.

Ah yes, stock car racing. The home of manic social media posts and drivers tweeting safe from home.

Couldn't possibly come up with a reason people have stopped watching.

Edit: I mentioned it on the Discord but the impromptu Hocevar interviews under the rain delay earlier were very amusing. Funny to see young drivers just actually being themselves and Hocevar surely has a future on the mic.

I think Hendrick got in trouble on the hood vents but I could be wrong. This is really just shots fired by NASCAR saying play the game their way. Everything I've heard has been really vague but if the 14 team thought they had a clever way to make the front windshield actually relevant for downforce with all these vents I can understand why they tried it.

If you would like to drink and yell futilely at your television every weekend, Blaney has definitely inherited the "AWWW SHUCKS" failure merchant identity from Dale Junior. Suarez is pretty similar, just have to pick a different beer for your yelling purposes.

Yeah I heard about that, what a joke.

It was painful. Reasonable coverage for the whole race and just loaded up the commercials at the end. Then I completely forgot the Cup race was even on.

What a horrific thing for them and this country. NASCAR fans have been making awful and stupid Chicago gun violence jokes leading up to this week only for the thing that actually happens with gun owners everyday to strike a NASCAR family. Most of these people think having a gun in their home will make their loved ones safer when we know it does the opposite.

Sadly Kidc is probably right, it'll most likely be a pretty boring affair. I think it's awesome that the new powers that be with NASCAR are trying taboo new things, don't get me wrong. We've seen stuff in the last year or so that a lot of the old school fans would never have even thought possible, let alone feasible. The potential hilarity of a cup type car in IMSA is growing dangerously possible and I am loving here for it.

Good luck actually seeing it as a resident unless you've got some serious clout with a rooftop bar over there, and hopefully too many people don't hork out and need quick medical transport. Easy on that deep dish this weekend.

Another NASCAR suit with a DWI, not sure if it made it to the thread.

We're just trying to get home from work here, geez. I'll at least throw my empties in the bed of the truck. We were all raised with manners.

I didn't watch much this season but I'm okay with that last few races and a good Cup champ. Dumb playoff but I think we're stuck with it.

Not sure how NASCAR plans to actually unfuck things but hey, happy ending until Daytona.

Last race is on the Bandolero loop at Charlotte, shifter karts, weapon of choice is in order of playoff seed. No tech on motors.
