Hell yeah!

So tonight's qualifying determines P1 and P2 for Sunday, plus we get two "Bluegreen Vacations Duel" races tomorrow night to determine the starting positions for the rest of the field.

drat, travis pastrana having mass shooter coffee on his car is bummer, hope he goes home now.

Second only to Liberty U on my most hated sponsors list. A distant, but firm second. Kid Rock honkeystink takes third but Daniel Suarez drove that car so I try to ignore it.

Caught the Pit Crew Challenge today. I was entertained. Fun to see the choreography up close an in depth. I like how the gasman is also in charge of kicking the old left rear tire out of the way.

LOL Is there any legit reason or purpose to have “counterfeit” versions of the single source parts in the garage, let alone installed in a next-gen cup car?

Could there be a dollar savings or would the counterfeit ones be inherently expensive one-offs?

Seems like there would be significant financial risk considering the possibility of a penalty. I point to the Pocono tape incident from last year as an example.

I bought a scanner for it (this one: https://www.amazon.com/Uniden-BC125...aps%2C94&sr=8-3 )

how do I program it to be able to tune in?

If you have windows there is software from Uniden that you can download that will allow you to fairly painlessly program your scanner.

http://info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/UnidenMan4/BC125AT
(That website looks sketch as gently caress, but the "PC Programming Software" BC125AT_SS is what I have used to set up my BC125AT scanner.)

I matched the channel number on the scanner with the car number so you can just type a channel number in and find that driver. I put secondary channels starting at 100. So, for example, the primary Daniel Suarez channel would be 99 and secondary channel for Suarez would be 199.


These links should tell you the relevant frequencies to program:

So I stumbled on this page on Xfinity's website:

https://www.xfinity.com/learn/digital-cable-tv/sports/nascar

"Got a need for speed?
Every Xfinity Internet customer can watch NASCAR at no additional cost. Tune in with the Xfinity Stream app or get a free Flex 4K streaming TV box with our internet."


I assume that what they actually mean by this is that you can watch some (probably about one-ish) NASCAR races for free.

But god drat that sure makes it seem like all the NASCAR races are showing on the Xfinity Stream app for free. Poking around the app doesn't look promising for any live NASCAR coverage. Are there any other Comcast customers out there that know anything about this?

e: Stealth winner from last night: Hocevar. First ever Bristol race in cup and finishes 11th? He's been quietly consistent the three races he's been in Cup this year, finishing midpack sure, but for someone who jumped from Trucks to Cup, I can't help but be a bit impressed.

Hocevar has been super impressive driving the cup car these last few weeks. Kinda figured Trackhouse was gonna try and sign him, but stoked on Zane Smith too.

So far I like Joey because I can relate to being a guy from Connecticut that nobody likes. Truex, he's from my BF's town and he said they named a road behind a Walmart after him. And Bubba, because I like McDondalds and Dr Pepper.
I think I'm doing this right.

Let me stop you right there.

Kidding aside yeah just keep watching races, you’ll probably see some sponsors you adore and some you hate. Now you’ve got folks to root for and against initially. You’ll learn more about the drivers, see them win and lose and how they drive and how they celebrate and pout, how they fight, and eventually you’ll find your favorite driver(s). And from then on anyone who fucks with your guy can get put in the wall.
