Obviously it'll be edited in a way to bring more fans to the sport, but, hey, whatever works.

As long as it doesn't have too much Samantha Busch shoehorning herself into the storyline, I'm looking forward to it, but that might be a big ask.

Due to the threat of rain, LOL ARCAtona will run following the completion of the Truck race at approximately 10:30pm Eastern.

The race will begin on FS2 and shift to FS1 following basketball.

Willie Mullins was a great story...but he just couldn't get the ARCA Brakes out of his system. :(


She's not that talented and will likely sustain a career on the basis of sponsorship alone, she's in love with herself, and it's never her fault.

Danica was treated fairly badly while racing in Europe and, even when she got to America and was respected to the point of being fawned over, never let it go. She developed a massive ego and was God's gift to racing:

The run-in with Denny depicted in the video was because she was so garbage the previous season that, in top-tier equipment, she was in danger of missing the Daytona 500 and almost wrecked herself to nearly do it.

e- In Breidinger's case, I think it was last year(?) where she ran Daytona and her spotter got on her because admitted she was lifting to slow down for the corners. Anyone with any vague knowledge of anything "racing on a superspeedway" knows the answer.

Accepting that call for the street race against Ryan Newman may have been the greatest decision of William Byron's life.

(Because he's an EA Sports NASCAR character brought to life is the joke if you're not familiar with the game.)

I didn't hate that race. I like that there are six drafting races on the schedule. I just wish they were better spread out as opposed to the obvious gimmick they are gunning for this year with Daytona and Atlanta a maximum of two weeks apart. (And though I could make the obvious "wait until the casual fans see Vegas" joke, the races there haven't been bad recently.)

It certainly doesn't help that the schedule, according to what I got from talking to Frank Kelleher last summer at Daytona, basically comes down to like four people ("I don't get any say as to when we run, I'm responsible for selling out the stands and infield; the 400 could run in June someday").

If there's any criticism of the track to be had, it's this is yet another example of "NASCAR should do Obvious Thing X, but instead does I've Got A Better Idea Y. If there was a cookie cutter that was a worthy candidate to become the type track Atlanta did, it was Texas. Atlanta 2.0 seemed to be one of the cookie cutters that produced the best racing on its own merit.

It's kind of like when Labor Day Fontana flopped and, instead of putting the Southern 500 back right away to right the wrong (which wouldve been a PR win), it went to Atlanta because the big brains in NASCAR, in their infinite wisdom, decided the obvious thing wasn't the way THEY wanted it.

why does Busch run the Truck races? Seems kinda like an NHL vet going down and playing college hockey. I know they let him do it bc $$$ but does he just do it for practice/ego boost?

also watching this race I learned theres a driver whose first name is Lawless and im rooting for him as my #2 after Rajah rn on that alone

shiksa posted:

drivers have raced in lower series for various reasons for as long as I've watched, I was used to seeing Mark Martin in Busch races on Saturdays, I dont know if it was practice or he just liked racing specific tracks a lot or a combo or what but yea. they had to put some guardrails on it in the 00s because too many guys were pulling double duty and crushing the lower serieses as developmental feeder leagues. I believe it was Kevin Harvick specifically who brought that about

It was around 2011 when they made drivers declare for only one series' points because cup drivers were going down and winning championships in the now-Xfinity series.

Buschwacking started to dwindle after that but really started to go away in earnest in the late 2010s in part because NASCAR limited them to seven Xfinity and five truck races a year. (Plus, there was that time Harvick ragequit the series after Chastain (rightfully) right reared him at Darlington.)

Xfinity pays poo poo so it’s a good chance at money for some teams.

The No Bull races in the early 00’s was great. I think the money rolled over right?

NB5 didn't roll over, but I think the pole award money did until someone won from the pole.

sorry if i keep asking stupid newbie questions. nobody in my family was a nascar fan growing up

Drivers with little to no experience on superspeedways + drivers who don't brake when they should ("ARCA Brakes") = (usually) unnecessarily big wrecks.

Today was not one of those days however.

E- Daytona, but the same idea:
