Oh, he does have a collection. He's told stories of hunting down particular shirts -- and his ebay finds.

Anyone have a stream? or leader board. DISH and NBC are in a contract dispute.

It fired right up for me. Maybe the dispute is confined to your local affiliate.

It's the local station.

1 enthusiastic "Slide job!" is entertaining. Let's not beat it any closer to death, please.

Yeah, people did sort of run away with it --- looks like a lot of people had a lot of free time on their hands.

Hey everybody new guy here,I don't know if its been discussed here but I wonder if HMS is pulling back a little money wise to see what is going to happen with NASCAR?It sure seems like the Chevy teams are struggling big time and I wonder if the manufacturer is getting worried.Just a thought anyway.I'm older so I have been a fan for a long time and wonder what is going on?Was a big Sr fan and finally found another driver in JJ.
Will be glad to read the opinions on this forum.

Dale Jr's presence as part of NASCAR broadcasts make me enjoy watching. I normally don't tune in until the pace laps.

Welcome! You might want to raise your HMS theory in a separate discussion. It may get lost in this pre-race thread.

No commentary but you get a general cam plus a few in-car

I'm surprised they aren't wet already. Radar has shown rain all around for the last couple of hours. The humidity must be even more swampy than usual.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Did it rain?

No clue. But theres moisture in the distance and the longer they wait, the less racing we see.

You can't beat a military anthem.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good anthem.

 

[dirtguru]

Good anthem.

I think it's the best I have ever heard. Great harmony.

I like this years opening intro for NASCAR On NBC vs last's years and with the Country dude, anyone know who the singer is for this year ?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Unness CeSarie?

 

[machinistman3]

NASCAR can't get a break weather-wise this year.It seems every week its an issue.

Check the LPGA tour; the women golfers have had it worse. Days delayed, rounds doubled up, tournements shortened.

We love our military and our commercials gotta go bye

 

[FLRacingFan]

I don’t know where to put this forgive me but since we are in “the second half of the season” I’d like to revisit a storyline from earlier in the year specially pre season. The media shoved this storyline down our throat with the young drivers taking over and saving the sport. Well Larson, Elliott, Jones, Suarez, Byron have zero wins so far in 18,So low and behold I come across this article today. https://sports.yahoo.com/unfair-isc-blame-young-drivers-not-winning-slow-ticket-sales-213222797.html such rubbish some media members

Erik Jones is taking NASCAR and carrying it on his shoulders!
