In the booth for this weekend , its gonna be Steve, Jr and Jeff, Rick Prowbalems Allen will be on the Pit box, tis gonna be interesting
 
I dislike this track. I always found it the most boring race of the year, but I always got a good nap in. Hopefully one of Iowa or Road America replace it when it’s time to reshuffle

Hopefully not Iowa that be worse. And they already lost one race they deserve a place on the schedule, I'd also take Gateway before Iowa.

Weird this track was good in the 1990s and even as recently as 2012 with Brian Vickers but no more since.

Must be my hearing aids; I'd swear there was an echo in here.

I like New Hampshire. In a time where the schedule is ridiculed for being too homogeneous, I don't think NHMS should be dumped on as much as it is for what it is.

I agree, I would of much rather seen Vegas gets it fall date from another 1.5err , while I do agree the racing isnt always the best here, at least its not a 1.5 miler
 
Rain looks like a definite on Sunday...but I have Mondays off so I'm kinda hoping it gets pushed to Monday...haven't been to NHMS since 2015.

Loved that Bryar 1.6-mile track, and raced there 4 x per year back in the 1970's. My first race was there. My first crash was there. And my first win (there weren't all that many wins). AAMRR and WERA motorcycles. At Bryar, I shifted up or down every 3 seconds on average. Thanks for posting that video.
 
I went to Loudon once in 2011, about a 4 hour drive. Most bored I've ever been at a race. Don't remember any of it except the last 2 laps.

Man, some of those names brought lots of memories. Haven't thought of Chuck Bown in years.

He was a force in Busch in the late 80's, early 90's! I saw him win at Nazareth in '90 or '91 in a Nestle Pontiac. He was badly injured in a Cup wreck at Pocono iirc.
 
Has NASCAR decided on number of needed spins this week and who is going to spin?
