I didn't get Prime to watch NASCAR (my favorite race series) and I won't get Apple TV to watch F1. I've watched most of the F1 races with Sunday morning breakfast for years. I'm a little more than a casual fan but that looks to change when when sports require a subscription. My MLB MN Twins...

There is always an adjustment when the coverage team changes. I was happy just to see a race after my Prime hiatus.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a documentary, I figure it will be entertaining.

It was a pretty exciting race. Palou is having a remarkable season. I think he pulled off a Dixon for this win.

I didn't know Genesis was into racing. The best car I've ever owned was a used 2011 Hyundai Genesis with the 4.6L V8 - drove it 11 years.

I was remembering last year's class picture of all the cars with the Garage 56 NASCAR standing tall among the low-slung race cars. And I remember the picture of the Garage 56 pit crew holding the manual jack above them after winning their class in the pit crew challenge.

I don't have Prime and I won't be getting it. My favorite race day will be without one ace.

The Promoter caution is a throw back to the days of the phantom yellow to bunch up the field.

I enjoy the old paint schemes (even with the new sponsor names).

I was impressed with how clean the leaders raced each other.

They are the same handles my Gremlin had, I like them too.

I like to start the racing season by watching this video, it is 33 cool cars starting up. Getting Started

I kinda miss the days when drivers qualified for the Busch Clash by winning a pole the previous season. I recall a picture in Autoweek magazine showing the starting lineup - all the cars were Ryan Newman's car because he won some many poles the previous year.

The same thing occurred to me after I made the prediction. I don't think there is an easy way to track my prediction other than watching every race and record who is leading. I'll come up with a different prediction (I suspect 5 times is a low number this year).

Five green-white-checker races will be won by a driver who was not leading at the advertised distance. I thought I'd brag a little:

Most drivers were uncomfortable in TV interviews before Jeff Gordon came along. I noticed the next generation of drivers were well spoken and more photogenic. While race driving is the most important skill, marketing skills became important for drivers.

Years ago at Martinsville, the Penske drivers manipulated the restarts when they had P1 and P2. The driver leading the preferred inside lane would slow the line to allow the other Penske car to take the lead from the outside lane. Other multi car teams started to do that at a variety of tracks...

Martinsville has a history of shenanigans. If Bell didn't accelerate and tried to get off the wall sooner his move would be OK with NASCAR.

Larson is one of the best drivers IMO. He runs on the edge all the time and that causes him to make mistakes. I'm impressed with his team because they are able to keep his car running well enough to recover from his mistakes.

Before the playoff system when the season long championship was used, the championship was usually down to 2-3 drivers by September. Those drivers started "points racing", their goal was to finish ahead of the other drivers with a chance at the championship.
