Daytona RACE thread

[Spotter22]

Matt McCall is not someone you want for an enemy.

Trust me.

I'm pretty sure we know who wins between Matt and NASCAR

[Fordracing7]

Shhhhh

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Rain in turn 4

 

[jws926]

Oh rain, not good.

 

[Blaze]

And it’s some rain! Well lmao.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

William Byron will win this race

Much like Eric Jones, he’ll get his first win after nearly every contending car was taken out. An unfair asterisk for sure, but it is what it is.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Lookng kind of over now.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Lol maybe a escort from the track too

Well, it would just be two people going after him. There are worse things.
In the Greek Soccer league, top games usually have foreign referees because they are less likely to be killed.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Yea this is done it’s raining now. Nap time

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

And here comes the rain. I retract my Willie B comment.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Wonder if they're drawing straws to determine who gets the pleasure of interviewing Matt McCall.

I seriously hate this for him and Kurt.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

When Jr drove they drove through the lightening lmao

What is this guy John Cena or something?

 

[donthaveanickname]

NBC and NASCAR.com have completely different running orders.

 

[ToyYoda]

Wrong Hailee they want winning

If this holds up, I bet there will be at least one green journalist who screws up and reports that Hailie Deegan won this race.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Kurt may have truly cashed in all his Daytona karma when he won the 500 with a wrecked car and the two leaders in front of him running out of fuel.

 

[jws926]

I seriously hate this for him and Kurt.

As a Kurt fan, I as well.

Let Mother Nature do it, the real one who screwed him.

 

[HoneyBadger]

What is this guy John Cena or something?

That's a good description, yes.

He's one of the good guys in this sport though. Badass racecar driver too.

 

[jws926]

Race control says the rain has picked up on the backstretch. They are telling the jet dryers to fire up and work on the track between the backstretch and pit entrance.

 

[Blaze]

Whoa wtf was that.

Meanwhile crew members are playing football on pit road. (I know, I know. HUGE track and all, but still.)

 

[JBone88]

Something exploded there

 

[jws926]

Whoa wtf was that.

Tire blowing is what Jr was saying I......think

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Radar update: it appears a new storm is developing just east of the track, and it's growing to the point it appears it will envelop the track.

 

[Blaze]

Tire blowing is what Jr was saying I......think

Damn blowing a tire when you ain’t even moving is some weird ass **** for this weird ass race weekend.

 

[DSquad48]

A little too much helium in the balloon

Yeah, the track is so big it the weather can and is often different all around the track, kind of neat actually if you think about it.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Yep. Was raining up the road as I was leaving. Knew it wouldn't be long.

 

[HoneyBadger]

NASCAR is doing everything they can to get this race in. Almost like they know Justin Haley being gifted this win would be the biggest BS win in a generation.

Yep.

Funny how the narrative changed from "when the rains come, it's over" to "just a small shower, nothing major" after Justin Haley took the lead.

 

[ahudsonman]

If Haley gets this win.......more folks will leave the NASCAR fandom.
Would be sad to see. Sure hope it doesn't happen.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Yep.

Funny how the narrative changed from "when the rains come, it's over" to "just a small shower, nothing major" after Justin Haley took the lead.

I'd love to see a small team like Spire win a race, even if it's because of rain, but not this way, not how this played out.

 

[JBone88]

Justin Haley winning is a death sentence for the sport? Not the playoffs or slot car racing package? Where do people come up with this stuff?

 

[Hotrod]

Radar update: it appears a new storm is developing just east of the track, and it's growing to the point it appears it will envelop the track.

There is a pretty good size window just west of the track.
If the track can continue to miss the big cell its near, this thing may
be back on.

 

[DaBiff1618]

Everybody whining because we might have a surprise winner at a form of racing that’s a gimmicky crap shoot anyway,

 

[machinistman3]

Wow. A little radical.People like to see a complete race. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[HoneyBadger]

That's not what Hudsonfan said. He said this would drive more fans away from the sport, and he's right. There have been fluke wins before, and people have lucked into wins because of rain.

The circumstances here are completely different though.

 

[Blaze]

Everybody whining because we might have a surprise winner at a form of racing that’s a gimmicky crap shoot anyway, please eat a anus

I’m laughing as they are acting as if NASCAR knew it was about to be lightning in the 8 mile area.

Which isn’t even a NASCAR rule it’s a rule for all sports.
