    2021 Race Start Times

    The later start times are also going to affect how many races we attend. Currently, we go to five races with only one being a planned weekend stay, Darlington Fall. We live outside Atlanta so that’s obviously a one day deal. But Talladega is also only 2 hours from us, we commute for both Spring...

    NASCAR Heat 2 coming Fall 2017

    I'm not a big gamer, but I enjoy playing Heat 2. I played career with normal difficulty and 13% race lengths. One season in Cup and I won 11 races including Homestead, it was actually pretty boring. I reset my career and increased the difficulty and race length. I'm enjoying it again, it's...

    2018 Gas Prices

    Having lived in Michigan I was used to gas prices changing daily, if not multiple times during the day. Since moving to Georgia four years ago it's nice to have consistent prices that change maybe once a week and its usually a penny or two. Been at $2.45 for a couple weeks now.

    New Years Eve plans?

    My view exactly. Can't remember the last time I stayed up until midnight. There's no difference between 11:59pm and 12:00am. Nothing magical happens and life doesn't reset.

    What races will you be attending?

    Atlanta, both Talladegas and Darlington for sure. Trying to work a San Francisco/Napa trip around the Sonoma race.

    Long weekends ahead

    Only 10 Sundays to go! I plan to kill the weekends with NASCAR Heat 2.

    Fanatics Tent

    Really the only trailers with long lines were Racing Electronics. I was really surprised at the lack of lines. To get from the parking area to the pits and our seats we had to walk through the hauler area so it wasn't like we looked from afar. I didn't expect to buy any souvenirs because I...

    Fanatics Tent

    Throughout the afternoon. We were in the area at 10:30am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm.

    Race pics and experiences

    We haven't even gone in for the race yet and we've done enough to make the day awesome. Through Coke we were able to attend the legends breakfast this morning and the drivers meeting this afternoon.

    Fanatics Tent

    Darlington has one small "tent" and all haulers. There were definitely less people looking/buying at the haulers compared to the tents of the past. The last two years the tents were packed and the line was long, although it moved quickly. Today, we walked right up to the track, Jr. and Larson...

    Fanatics Tent

    Were any tents still used? We're going to Darlington and like you I prefer the tents. I found a nice Darlington hat on Fanatics website and ordered it. It arrived and the crown was sewn about an inch off center on the bill. I would rather be able to look through the merchandise and not be...

    You know it, Rusty's first Cup win.

    2017 NASCAR Season - Television Ratings Thread

    Going back to "the good old days is relative." Are we talking when attendance and ratings were off the charts or the 80s when it was growing yet still a regional sport? It's a bit like the NHL, they are trying to be a mainstream national sport where teams in non-traditional markets are...

    NASCAR Start Times

    I actually like the 3pm starts if I'm not at the race. I can get errands done and then settle in for the rest of the day. We went to Atlanta and the 2:30 start was at the edge of doing a day trip and we only live on the north side of Atlanta. By time we waited for traffic to clear out it...

    Rate The Race: Pocono 1

    The reason this example is flawed is because the Falcons scored 28 points in 2+ quarters on the best team in the league. The better example would be if the game was 0-0 at the end of regulation and both teams had punted 10 times. Then the Patriots scored the winning TD in overtime. Exciting...

    Rate The Race: Pocono 1

    I agree. It's like going to dinner, having the worst appetizer and entree, but finished with a good desert and saying it was a fantastic meal.

    Kasey Kahne

    While the mis-shift is what put him out, before then he complained of having soft brakes so 3 of 4 did have brake issues.

    Rate The Race: Pocono 1

    I have to agree. Take away the last 13 laps and it was a snoozer. We nearly turned it off in the middle of stage 2. 3

    Fox has been pretty bad this year

    For me, the poor FOX coverage this year is in the producer/director chair. I can't count the number of times the guys in the booth are talking about something on the track, whether it's a pass, close call or wreck, and they don't cut the shot until it's too late. It's like the director doesn't...

    Rate the Race --- Dover

    8. Plenty of racing throughout. Terrible finish. Can NASCAR not clean a track properly? How do you leave that much speedy dry on the track as they're about to go green?
