Talledega Pre Race Thread

[3wideinturn1]

In the first Talladega race of 2008, Bush won the race with Toyota. He also won the second Daytona race of that same year with Toyota. Stewart won the second Talladega race with Toyota. Those are the only three recorded wins of Toyota at RP tracks.

Sounds like they're due

Kyle has had extremely fast cars here but has also had horrible fortune.

Looks like a screenshot from the NASCAR Heat game I used to play on my computer, after I adjusted the competition level of the cars for plate racing...

 

[Restrictor Plate King!]

Can't wait, with any luck maybe one of my drivers will win this thing...

 

[Trick2g]

Dancing/boxing/hoola hooping at the same time? Priceless

[Tennessee Racing]

Come get some!

I'd had way too much sugar that day. My apologies.

I'll take a little of both please. And add a side of 'close finish' too if you don't mind. Thanks.

All these years later and it still doesn't seem right without him. And I wasn't even a fan.

If you're at Talladega and hear word of Dale Jr. giving ride-alongs, check details before getting in line.

In accordance with the new rules, infield revelers at Talladega promise NASCAR that their blood-alcohol concentration will be 100%.

Things wont ever be right again without Dale
Its taken a long time for me to enjoy this sport again

 

[dpkimmel2001]

No beer or wine sold at the Talladega Walmart on Race Day? Dang.

 

[VaDirt]

This will be the only chase race I watch, because 'Dega is one of my faves.

I'll go with the pack, tandem is just weird.

That reminds of those cages they install on people when they have a neck injury.

 

[Kyle18fan]

Anybody else see the radiators they are running in the truck series --------------- They are HUGE
Wish they didnt limit the Cup cars cooling systems so much

That's part of nascars convoluted and overly expensive way of ending the tandem.

 

[FenderBumper]

plate practice is damn boring. I miss the tandems practicing their switch technique.

 

[Bobw]

I'll watch but hope it's not another follow the leader race.
