3 damn laps half the field is gone in this arca shit show

 

[goblue96]

Plenty of good seats still available. Plenty of bad seats still available. Just plenty of seats still available.

 

[Wolfman21]

hopefully thats the only place. Don't need him on the track running people over anywhere else.

 

[guardman23]

Lol at this race

 

[guardman23]

Damnit Jimmie fuck it wreck all of them

 

[gilstein21]

nice to see goodyear bring another quality tire to the track. open this shit up for other tire companies.

 

[Hollywood]

How fucking stupid. Glad I only watched the last 10 laps. Shit. Show.

 

[Hollywood]

No need to even watch the 500. If you're leading with 10 to go, you can't lose. Ho hum.

 

[gilstein21]

calling it nascar overtime is dumb ... i don't even know how the race ended that way. did they make it to the overtime line on the white flag lap, or does that not matter. you pass the line on the first lap and that's it?

pass the line on the first lap and the next flag ends it. Thats the rule now. Completing the first lap is no longer required.

 

[gilstein21]

so they made it dumber. i thought the new rule was pass a line on the white flag lap ... brain dead france ha

 

[Wolfman21]

i dunno. Seems to make sense to me. If you get to that point, next flag ends the race. If you dont, we do it again. Atleast we won't have races ending before you get to turn 1 now.

 

[guardman23]

It should be on the white flag lap though not the 1st

 

[Wolfman21]

Fuck. Yes.

 

[goblue96]

@Wolfman21 right now

HURRDURR NASCAR IS RIGGED ANOTHER STORYLINE ON DAYTONA 500 POLE -internet

Nobody mentions this 24 team put Gordon on the pole in 2 restrictor plate races last year

They actually won them all, Daytona July was rained out.

 

[Wolfman21]

Just the fact that people thinj that nascar would rig it and all the teams would be ok with it is midnblowing to me. But then again, those kinda people are idiots

 

[Hollywood]

I'll give NASCAR that much. If they were going to play favorites, they would have held off on the caution for 2 more seconds at Talladega last year, which would have allowed Jr to win and make it to the next round. And he would have already been a multiple time champ. Or Gordon would have won/beat Busch & Harvick at Homestead last November.

 

[Wolfman21]

I admit...the last 4 pole winners for the 500 looks a lil sketch...

Danica, Dillon in the 3s return, Jeffs final 500 and now chase in the 24.

I still don't think it's rigged though.

 

[Hollywood]

In reality, you only have two teams there. A de facto Hendrick car, a Childress car, and then the same #24 Hendrick car. Both teams have a history of doing well on plate tracks. Now if Danica was driving for Roush, and won the pole....

I'm more weirded out by stenhouse being as fast as he was today than the 24 on the pole

 

[Wolfman21]

Ty Dillon gonna be in the 14 starting in Atlanta. Which is interesting seeing as how SHR is a subsidiary basically of HMS and Ty is a RCR guy all the way.

 

[Wolfman21]

Also, Wood Brothers Racing pulls out of the "Owner's Alliance"...as you can expect.

Don't blame them. That thing is a joke.

 

[Wolfman21]

Yea, lol. Kurt Busch was right behind him when it happened. His radio was hilarious...thought they forgot to put the drain plug back in, haha

 

[Iron]

44 trucks entered for the Truck race, so 12 are going home. Quick, increase the field back to 36.

Nah, easier to cut the field to 32 and reduce the price money.

 

[guardman23]

Here's to all 3 races being shit storm wreck fest then maybe we can get tango drafting back for at least one lap closest thing to non restrictor plate racing we will ever see

 

[goblue96]

Five or six car snake drafts from the 80s are a thing of past.

 

[guardman23]

 

[goblue96]

That Elliott car in '85 was a fucking beast on the big track.

 

[Wolfman21]

Those Ernie elliott engines...somethin else man.

Chase finished 6th in first duel. Was 19th with 5 laps to go. Listening to his radio on raceview mobile was awesome. Well worth the 30 bucks for the full season.

Oh, and surprise surprise...dale jr won the duel.

 

[guardman23]

Lots of baby's in the south will be made tonight following jrs win

 

[Wolfman21]

Amelia has 3 wins, a 2nd and a 3rd. Ha...dominant

 

[Wolfman21]

Lots of baby's in the south will be made tonight following jrs win

Loved seeing chase and blaney working together. Those two are gonna be fun to watch grow up

 

[goblue96]

Nice job counting to four, Casey Mears pit crew, GJGE.

 

[guardman23]

SHITSTORM in a qualifying race Lol

 

[Hollywood]

Didn't even watch.

 

[guardman23]

Xfinity cars are a lot more fun to watch

 

[Wolfman21]

Didn't even watch.

Nascar fans that don't watch love to let people know that they didn't watch.

2nd race was boring. First race was pretty decent.

 

[goblue96]

I watched cause nothing else was on.

 

[Hollywood]

Plate racing sucks now. This year's Clash was all I needed to see. Wake me up for the Mudsummer Classic.

Memorial Day for dat Monaco, Indy, World 600 triple header.

 

[Hollywood]

Monaco = Mercedes win
Indy = Penske win
Coke 600 = who cares

 

[Bdub]

Going off of normal F1 cycles it's about time for the reign of Mercedes to be over. I think Ferrari will once again close the gap.

 

[Hollywood]

I'd love to see McLaren Honda show up and actually be able to run within 3 seconds a lap of the lead.
