IT'S A GOOD THING FOX MOVED IT TO FS2 SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO PAY 20 FINES FOR RYAN PREECE'S INTERVIEW

 

[Speedbowl14]

HE FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!!

So unreal.

 

[StandOnIt]

Mike Joy, always the professional.

 

[Blaze]

Let's not forget, if this chaos irritates you, I'd recommend finding something else to do for the next few weekends.

It was only irritating me because I wanted it done before my dad had to leave work at 10 so he could finish

 

[wi_racefan]

Ryan is a driver thats earned it

 

[Nitro Dude]

I just have a little feeling in my body that the 77 will be backwards at some point in the next 98 laps

You called that one.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Attaboy Ryan Preece!!

 

[Nitro Dude]

Now AT work and watching on my phone app.

You haven't missed much on here. Like most race threads, mainly Andy whining about anything he can think of.

 

[Nitro Dude]

That was fun...now let's remove the snow tires off of the race cars and the snow chains off of the haulers and head southbound to Florida.

I'd love for NBC to to create a service with their channels similar to Fox One.

I don't know why NBC doesn't stream everything on Peacock.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Don't start something you can't finish

Bubba or NASCAR?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sounds like changing the channel was a good move for me. 3.75 hours to run 50 miles.

 

[Formerjackman]

Every bit the dumpster fire I was expecting. One of these days I'm going to wise up and not even turn my TV on until we get to points race #2 in the season.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Every bit the dumpster fire I was expecting.

Eh, the first half was decent.

 

[Blaze]

Bubba or NASCAR?

Hocevar. He was all over Bubba's ass, and didn't finish the job. Bubba got him though and finished it.

 

[Biggreen695]

Hocevar's intentionally wrecked every single person on the track at some point in the last year or two. He's getting no benefit of the doubt.

Bubbles had multiple temper tantrums last night

Glad I went to bed.

I hope no one ever puts a leash on Hocevar. He is good for NASCAR.

 

[Greg]

Good to see Preece get the win, and continuing to disprove all of the previous naysayers.

I'm disappointed

Not a single driver in the field was named Bubbles.

But the second half more than made up for it. For the record, I have NEVER been a fan of races on a track shorter than a half mile, and that goes doubly for stock cars, so the whole premise is lost on me from the word go. Throw in arctic temps, a sleet storm. 100+ laps run under caution, demolition derby driving and a caution so the field can refuel, and I was just done with it at that point. I'll admit last years race was a little better than my zero expectations, but this event wiped out any good will I had for it. I agree 100% that Daytona was no longer the answer, but I have never bought into the idea that this or LA was either. Why not New Smyrna or Five Flags?

 

[Daytripper]

Artic temps? It was in the 30s!

So you've never been a fan of shorter than a half mile races. You were lost. You knew the weather was crap, watched 100+ caution laps, had zero expectations, but you watched it anyway....Thank you for your service.

 

[BarneyB1]

I'm disappointed

I would like to see what caused that.

Here's Burt Myers at Bowman Gray that you were asking about lol.

 

[StandOnIt]

I'd give it an 8 on style points.
