2018 - Daytona 500 - Pre Race Thread

[ladyspartan16]

Is it just me or has it been an abnormally long off season?

Anywho, happy to be back!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I read too much /r/NASCAR over the offseason. Somehow that place had a bunch of plucky upstart teams pushing the entry list to 45 or 46.

Did you learn your lesson?

 

[Towmater]

I missed practice. How did Danica do?

 

[StandOnIt]

Lower gear did up the speeds 201. The are out there racing whew

 

[SlicedBread22]

Will someone tell these guys it's only practice?!

That being said.. I'm liking the look of that 22 so far!

 

[StandOnIt]

Doesn't mean a whole lot but it was fun to watch, they were out there mixing it up

 

[Truex_rox]

Mostly Fords at the top.
No surprise there.

So @Blaney is driving Paul’s car?

And I’m driving his car, while he drives for the Wood Brothers, and I’m with Penske but Menards is on the car, but not above the door but I used to drive the 21 and oh no I’ve gone cross eyed

Mostly Fords were in the cluster that were racing and drafting. I wouldn't put much stock in it. The Gibbs Yotas drafted together the practice before and came out fastest

Appears 16th but from looking at speeds the front 12-14 were drafting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Didn't Fox have to scrap this stupid sidebar thing a few years ago because the fans hated it and it rendered a fraction of the TV useless?

Sure, let's do that again.

 

[StandOnIt]

They are going to get the ARCA race in for sure, hope the rest make it. ARCA coming up

How low can you go? @KyleBusch is about the lowest we’ve seen so far. This no ride height rule is interesting for sure. #AskMRNpic.twitter.com/95N8lW1AYS

I can't get that to do anything but add crap to my computer. But i do appreciate the effort.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I told my gf that Natalie Decker probably won’t lead the first lap as we are watching ARCA pre race....it didn’t go well.

Google FS1 free streams..they are out there. That one worked for me, but I have a setup that is pretty good with streams

Been trying. No luck yet.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m not feeling this new ticker. Takes up the screen

And being right won't get you dinner.

I’m prepared it’s pizza night here

 

[StandOnIt]

They are driving with a lot more sanity than the cuppers did the last practice

 

[KTMLew01]

Got audio only on Arca site.

 

[KTMLew01]

Audio on Arca site is about worthless. MRN actually calls the race. These guys are just talking about racing. Not actually covering THIS race.

 

[AtomicPunk55]

Upper right corner of the screen ...... red numbers come up. click on em

Thank you.

Sorry. Not putting my CC info out there. I surrender.

 

[StandOnIt]

Sorry trying to help. I'll remember that.

 

[KTMLew01]

Didn't mean to offend you. Just too many hoops to jump through for one race. I'll have coverage later in the week.

 

[*WEAVER*]

here's one.

32 running pretty good with half a car

 

[HoneyBadger]

Fox has rendered the left side of my screen useless.

 

[KTMLew01]

here's one.

http://acesports.stream/fs1.html

THAT WORKS! Awesome!

 

[Efisher131]

There's not a soul in the stands

 

[HoneyBadger]

These pit stops are comical.

 

[StandOnIt]

ah splitting up the strategy. I don't think Self had any rear brake in it at all
