    2021 Petit Le Mans

    Wild finish. If the 31 didn't run the 10 off the track, the 10 probably would have run the 31 off the track.

    "Blue Oval". "Bow tie". "Ram". "Arrowhead".

    Ford blue oval started in 1903 Chevy bow tie started in 1913 Dodge ram started in 1932 The Toyota logo started in 1990 - it hasn't been around long enough to get a nickname (tri-oval sounds OK but is limited to racing).

    I'm happy for Kyle Larson and his team. I think they were the best team this season.

    Do The Championship 4 Finish P1, 2, 3 & 4?

    This is the one race where the field gets out of the way of the 4. The 4 are points racing between themselves - they only have to be in front of the other 3. I'd like to see some of the other drivers try and win the race.

    Out of the way! NASCAR contenders want traffic to pull aside

    I think the field does move out of the way during the last race of the season.

    Out of the way! NASCAR contenders want traffic to pull aside

    I came across a story about playoff drivers annoyed with non playoff drivers: https://apnews.com/article/sports-auto-racing-kansas-nascar-denny-hamlin-a2f477e0fbbb845fb9b0fb6f51edea09 I thought Briscoe had a pretty good answer: “I get paid to race, just because you guys are racing in the...

    Kyle Busch after Texas

    If they aren't lifting they aren't racing. Holding the gas pedal to the floor is not a skill.

    How many other motorsports have no practice sessions?

    I'm surprised that some of the top teams haven't adapted to lack of testing while some of the smaller teams have become more competitive. I do miss qualifying (pit stall #1 is an advantage).

    Cup RACE thread --- Charlotte Roval

    It was an exciting race. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how things would turn out. I think the 5 & 9 teams were the stars of the race, but there were plenty of great drives in the pack. I don't know what Harvick was thinking, there was no way anything good could happen from his action...

    NASCAR 2021 BOLD PREDICTIONS

    He had two good chances at winning in the last two years - both stymied by Hamlin.

    2021 Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey

    Grosjean put on a great show during the last laps. I thought he wrecked his car and Johnson's car but they both kept going. The commentators noticed he was running in the middle of the corners instead of cutting the corners at the apex. I recall he did a similar display on an oval but he used...

    At least they were smart enough to talk. They both can ensure the other doesn't advance in the playoffs if they don't work things out.

    Italian Grand Prix Race Thread

    I haven't figured out the rules of the road in F1. I've read the lead car can take any line and a car attempting an overtake should back off or get run off the track. I think an overtaking car deserves racing room when getting along side. But chicanes are different from most corners due to...

    IndyCar - 2021 Grand Prix of Portland

    I think turn 1 should be changed, they seem to have F1 turn 1 style problems there. I'm a Dixon fan (actually I like several drivers) but I'm warming up to Palou and Oward. I enjoyed the race after the turn 1 fiasco (Dixon's blocking or pass attempt started it).

    Belgian GP Race Thread

    It appears F1 isn't very flexible or able to adapt to race the following day. They put in two laps to meet a requirement to count a race that wasn't raced.

    Belgian GP Race Thread

    Does F1 have any provisions to run the race on Monday? They have another race next week but NASCAR does that every week, even after running a race on Monday.

    24 Heures du Mans 2021

    I noticed the flagman on the track, I knew it was a tradition. Normally the race is over by the last lap and cars line up for the checker flag photo but one car was still racing today. I watched a lot of the race and learned some history. I recall they used to start the race with the...

    Cup RACE thread --- Indy Road Course

    Denny, Chase, and Digger all did what they had to do. Denny did run both of them off both sides of the track.
