East coast weather sucks.

Tell us in 5,000 more threads..

Got lights, oh yeah

Oh I was under the impression that the 24 hours at Daytona was raced at the north pole.

did those cars have lights on them at the north pole?

Damn Cindric is a hack, but they are replaying the race he won last week.

Really funny how being a hack means beating one of the best road racers in the US in Allmendinger.

Let there be light.

 

[Barbara Charles]

So that is what the North Pole looks like.

Cindric is criminally underrated and I am a fan

Cindric is criminally underrated and I am a fan

He's only been racing on ovals for about four years altogether.

One full-season in trucks and this is his third in Xfinity, he's got a lot of room for growth IMO.

Indy qualifying now on. Bryan Herta has the exact same 88 as Dale/Bowman

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah I like Cendric and Briscoe. I know they would hate it, but as a fan I hope they stay in the Xfinity series, an couple others too. It's good racing with those guys in the series.

I'm also pretty sure you already know TV sets the schedule, not NASCAR or the track. It's their broadcast window. Apparently they feel they can draw a larger audience with a delayed mid-afternoon race than one that starts on time at noon.

I'm not so sure if a delayed mid/late-afternoon race ends up with better ratings but I think that's a risk the networks are willing to take.

Wally's World! No way lol

 

[Magnethead]

So what is the over/under on first yellow?

I say L1T1 will be a local yellow, and somebody will take off at the kink on L1 as well for a local. I think first full-course will be a logjam at the new chicane

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Are they using local yellows?

 

[Magnethead]

This start reminds me of this year's 24h, when they had half cars on wet and half on dry, and the cars on drys won the battle

That said, I want to be on slicks.

 

[Magnethead]

I think fuel window won't matter in the last stage. I also think we will have a GWC.

 

[donthaveanickname]

It's happening

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Stragetys, Doc.

[StandOnIt]

Drop the flag, enough about the freaking tires

 

[Mispeedway15]

I can’t wait

 

[jws926]

And here we go, green

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

HERE WE GO!!!

 

[AdoubleU24]

Lol and NBC totally airmails the coverage going into 1

 

[StandOnIt]

Gawd, they missed showing turn one

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Briscoe missed the chicane.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Learning curve on the front chicane.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Bold Prediction: Missing the chicane will cost somebody the win this weekend.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Haha this is a mess

 

[Michfan]

Cmon Dinger

 

[Magnethead]

Throttle discipline.

Throttle.
Discipline.

 

[Michfan]

Haha this is a mess

It's beautiful

 

[Magnethead]

Honestly, first impression: the new chicane wasn't neccesary at all, at least with this package.

*or should flow faster

 

[Michfan]

This reminds me of the days in Cup when some guys just sucked on road courses

 

[StandOnIt]

Gragson is hanging in there with AJ. but he is probably burning his tires up

 

[Kiante]

Ryan Sieg is looking like Ed Carpenter out here.

 

[Magnethead]

Ugh. New chicane is painful. So painful.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Honestly, first impression: the new chicane wasn't neccesary at all, at least with this package.

I dunno about necessary but it's taking some to school. I like it.

 

[StandOnIt]

Funny the ARCA's weren't having as much a problem. I think the track has a bunch to do with it.
