BUT...BUT...NASCAR IS DEAD

Far from dead but also far from its heyday. I used to love this sport more than any other, exception….. the NFL. I’m now hard pressed to get the interest up to even watch today’s race. Today used to be one of my favorite days of the year.

20 years ago almost everyone I knew was a huge NASCAR fan. Seems like most of them, and myself, have moved well beyond those days.

I’m glad there are those that were able to stick with it and also glad for those new eyes on the sport. Hopefully it can get back to what it once was.

Such a great day! So jacked! Let's go!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Let’s go

At age 22, does NASCAR on Fox Sports even care anymore?

 

[Conover]

Nothing like a Daytona 500 Sunday afternoon! Wish we were there but my wife and I will watch on the 75” mini LED from the other side of the peninsula!

 

[Conover]

And one more thing…GO ROSS! Let’s get that win secured early for the Chase.

Couple of hours to kill ... might as well warm up the complaint department in the pre-race thread.

Thank you. Getting some laundry done now.

 

[aunty dive]

Thank you. Getting some laundry done now.

Are you still eating laundry pods, Andrew?




On pain-killers today ... apologizing in advance to everyone I offend in the race thread. I expect there will be several of you.

 

[Magicmiler]

I wonder if 'ol Chris Myers had some surgery done recently. His face looks like an old catchers mitt. And that voice....

 

[aunty dive]

Is Michael Waltrip still living above that pizza joint in Sherill’s Ford?

 

[HoneyBadger]

I would be proud as a peacock to get to watch the Daytona 500 on NBC.

 

[kkfan91]

You know I'd see a movie about Bill France starting NASCAR...not this weird tongue on cheek thing Fox put together.

A Greek guy won a silver medal at the Ski World Championship this afternoon so there has already been a highlight today.

Hoping for a great race and a wonderful NASCAR season. Can't wait for the green flag!

That would be my dream home especially if there was a KFC in the basement.

In a perfect world, NBC with Mike Joy lead booth, or Allen B

 

[HoneyBadger]

This is ****** stupid.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Fox describing driver intros instead of ****** showing them. You cannot make this up.

3:14? I wish the TV schedule included 2:30 to 3:00 as part of the pre-race, and not the race broadcast. Seeing the race broadcast listed at 2:30, I -assumed- the green would drop around 2:50 or so. Silly me.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Anybody else notice Fox used actual photos for the Xfinity drivers yesterday, not comic caricatures?

 

[Spotter22]

I think we see an unbelievable race today! I'm ready, lets go!

Beverage of choice today, Crown and Ginger. Sipping of course.

Nah…give me CBS and this sweet bastard

 

[Nitro Dude]

I just had a couple of steak burritos and a large coke and I'm ready to rock.

Pain killers and Coke Zero over here.

I don't think they ever used the cartoons (which I still love) in the lower series .

Probably better than the corn dogs and tots I just had

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Huge tossed salad from Lowe's salad bar and a Diet Pepsi. Triscuits and Margaritaville Salsa on tap for later in the race. Grilled ham and cheese coming later.

And if anyone cares, Marie Sharp's 'Smoking Marie' Smoked Habanero is my new favorite hot sauce.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

2 hot dog lunch with pickles and chips. Beverages and M&M’s ready to go. Happy Daytona 500 day!!!!!!!

The chili is easy to upchuck.
