    Circuit of the Americas Pre-Race Thread.

    I can somewhat agree on the track shortening. Going in person last year, it's a loooong wait for them to come back around - even though you can see 80% of the track from the Turn 1 grass.

    Bonehead of the Week: Daytona.

    Anybody who thought it was a bright idea to be behind Custer, Nemechek, or Crashhouse. Either be in front of them, or hang out in the back and be the catbird when those three do their thing.

    Johali's Rate the Xfinity race --- Daytona

    7. They kept their brains together until they didn't. Love with some very tactful blocks except that brave one at the end. That was just pure luck and stupidity.

    Auctions are always crapshoots. However the guy making the video is not familiar with the platform and doesn't realize that all those "Wierds" are actually normal. The intake and heads were made by Mopar Performance. the hood latch was done because the grille inserts block the handle. That...

    Tony Stewart

    I don't know if it's been covered, but Tony will be in the car again for 2025. Leah wants to stay out and "mom" for an extra year before getting back in. Possible that Tony may stay in the car and Leah would be 2nd car.
