2017 - Daytona 500 - Pre Race Thread

[Charlie Spencer]

Daytona Day Bingo sounds like a really neat idea. Too bad I don't have someone to watch the race with.

You got us!

12:10 p.m.

NASCAR chairman Brian France issued a stern warning to drivers about blocking during the pre-race meeting for the Daytona 500.

France rarely wades into competition issues, but used his time at the microphone to warn the field that NASCAR will not interject if a driver tries to block another and it goes wrong.

''Blocking is part of racing,'' France told drivers. ''It causes big crashes. When you block somebody, you better hope there is a good Samaritan behind you.''

In other words, NASCAR won't penalize a driver who wrecks someone trying to block.

Blocking caused multiple accidents in the Truck Series and Xfinity Series season openers at Daytona earlier this week.


Moron. Just stay home ... or send your sister to the microphone.

Few people know that Waka Flaka is not only a Nascar fan but is a Mechanical Engineer and has his own wind tunnel. Him and JJ are tight.

Just finished the "85" 500. Hope it brings luck to the 24 today. Go get em' Chase...

Nice appearance by Mario at the start of driver intros. He looks pretty good.

 

[Blaze]

What was Danica doing? LOL

 

[Mispeedway15]

Hearing intros is it safe to say Jr, Harvick and Logano are the three most popular drivers in the sport today?

I second that motion.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The norm isn't worth much anyway.
