2018 - Daytona 500 - Pre Race Thread

[2 Sweet]

Is it me or do the ARCA cars just look more racier and rougher?

I think it's the (significant) difference in ride height

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Martin's 1998 performance probably would have won the championship in any other season. But Gordon had to go ape sh!t and win 13 races...

Wonder boy.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

I'd hate to be at this race. With all these red flags, what the heck are you supposed to do with your time??

Drive to the Super Late Model races at New Smyrna.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This a great look for anyone who was thinking of giving stock car racing a chance

1 hour long last lap.

 

[JBone88]

Yep. Ride height, no splitter, older style chassis.

Even have that ol’ pitched wail as they go by.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Don't remind me.

I used to hate that damn 24 car.

It wasnt that bad

ARCA would be almost watchable without the lack of talent.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

My first post of 2018 is simply to say the ending to the ARCA race is craziness/insanity!

 

[StandOnIt]

Looks like the 55 has a flat left front to me

 

[Brentford]

1 hour long last lap.

And people (Myself included) complain about how long the last minute of a basketball game takes.

 

[ToyYoda]

Hopefully these ARCA cars will be off the track by the start of the Daytona 500.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

12 year old chassis---so want to make sick sex joke...

"Hello, Amazon? Yeah, I want to cancel that 10-foot pole I ordered. Turns out there's nothing here I'd touch with it..."

 

[ChexOrWrex]

She can make it

 

[Brentford]

Question time! Will this be the last restart??

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hopefully these ARCA cars will be off the track by the start of the Daytona 500.

LOL

Exactly why there's about 250 people in the stands

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It wasnt that bad

Yes it was. I went to six Cup races that year and Rainbow won every damn one of them!

They'll just push the 500 to FS2.

Sounds like heaven

Oh crap that's good. Tip of the hat my man!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

I've been watching this sport for 25 years or something and this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

 

[KTMLew01]

She can make it

It was pushing out a ton of water. Probably gonna lay down.

Indy Tiregate, either the F1 or Cup variety.

 

[KTMLew01]

Indy Tiregate.

You are on a roll.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Will this race end before Supercross? LOL

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Natalie Decker's gonna win this race LOL

And there isn't a soul in those grandstands.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Will this race end? LOL

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Thinking about 500/1 odds this ends this time

 

[KTMLew01]

Natalie Decker's gonna win this race LOL

And there isn't a soul in those grandstands.

Think she's running too hot.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Decker gonna restart 4th!

 

[ToyYoda]

FS1 an hour ago "One to go from Daytona!"

FS1 two minutes ago: "One to go from Daytona!"

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Cars are rolling. I didn't know ARCA ran two Duels.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Are they getting lane choice here?

 

[Kiante]

Hopefully these ARCA cars will be off the track by the start of the Daytona 500.

They will be at Atlanta by then.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

FS1 an hour ago "One to go from Daytona!"

FS1 two minutes ago: "One to go from Daytona!"

40 minutes from now: "One to go from Daytona!"

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Wow what a waste by Natalie

 

[2 Sweet]

LOL, wow....most anticlimactic finish ever. We waited 40 minutes for that.........

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Willie Mullins in second is a much better story than Michael Self winning.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Self won all by himself.
