I missed the race because of NASCARs damp track tire test (don't have Peacock).

Are there any Garage 56 cars this year?

With the 500 and 600, Larson could be called rain man. I was hoping he could complete both races.

I'm in favor of smaller teams. But the big teams will find a way around it with "sister" teams like they do now. I think Roush had five teams at one point. Giving Hendricks and Gibbs extra cars isn't right, it doesn't change a thing from what currently exists. How many teams have more than two cars?

I was wondering how big of a gas-powered engine would be needed to power an electric motor to drive the wheels to run at racing speeds. Electric motors have a lot of torque (the Owens example had a terrible power transfer to the wheels). A battery powered EV won’t work for racing – except drag...

Some races become fuel economy runs depending on how the race circumstances play out. NASAR could go back to phantom cautions or teams could pay back markers to cause a caution (these techniques were rumored to be used in the past).

To race an EV, loose the battery. Use a small gas engine to run a generator and the generator to power an electric motor. I saw a Jay Leno Garage episode for the 1916 Owen Magnetic which had a similar configuration.

I noticed Chase doing a Polish Victory lap and I appreciated him mentioning Alan Kulwki.

I have a DVD collection - no ads. The number of ads on the free streaming channels is far less than the ads on cable. (I've been watching older movies lately).

The BMW reminds me of their car from the GTP days

Kyle Busch (8 Bristol wins) was asked about the outcome between him and Dale Earnhardt (9 Bristol wins) in a theoretical 10 lap race at Bristol. his answer

Thank you for the information. I hadn't had the problem since I joined but something changed when I reported the problem. I noticed another forum I visit defaults to a 60 minute session. I don't want to stay logged in to any forum. Thanks for the suggestions to work around my problem.

I still get logged out on occasion. When I do log in I always uncheck "Stay Logged In" (I wish unchecked was the default or a preference).

I was looking to see when single lap qualifying is scheduled, it used to be a week before the race. I see it is scheduled for Wednesday and I don't think it is televised. In the past, preparation for the 500 was a multi-week long deal (Speedweeks). Teams did a lot of testing (and sandbagging)...

Just checked scoring & timing because when I turned on the race just now I couldn't believe how close the field is in each class.

When I first started following this race, the GT glass was almost all Porsche; they sold cars that could be raced by the independents (I admired Porsche for that). These days the GT classes have become more diverse and interesting.

I was ready for this race a week ago but now that I learned to read a calendar I'm ready for the start.

A driver will win 8 poles in the Cup series. I thought I'd do a little bragging:

I was logged in and replying to a thread and I got a message I needed to log in while I was already logged in. This happened a couple times over the weekend. I'm wondering if others have seen this or if it something at my end. I attached a screen shot that shows me logged in and the popup...
