If nascar looking for ways to get more views. I'd like to go retro have them race different eras cars. I know it would be impossible from a safety stand point. But I miss seeing chevy vs ford vs Buick vs Pontiac vs dodge/Plymouth.

Hope Algier makes it into the 500.

Made it

That was awesome too.

A lot of emotion from those guys.

Love the paint scheme on that 40 car.

Good for Bubba too.

Used to like nascar. I got bored of it (I like most motor sports), someone paid my entry fee for fantasy live or whatever it’s called.

I’m gonna try and keep up. I don’t know anyone other than a few big names and Suarez and bubba.

Who wants to help me win $200? Thanks.

How stupid are these picks? I used ChatGPT and also picked some random stuff looking for surprises.

I know I can swap garage guy in if he’s killing it before stage 2 ends. What else do I need to know as far as during the race (for those of you that may play nascar fantasy)?

Everything else is about keeping up with all the behind the scenes shit and obviously track driver performance, but is also all luck so I’m not gonna spend a ton of time on nascar driver research. 1f796b3a18de8d5424d9a56717a08b2c.jpg

Much more technical and analytical now.

So I am assuming they started early because of possible weather.

I thought green flag was closer to 1:30 CST.

Correct.  Already under yellow for a rain shower.   Team Larson.

Yeah it was announced Friday they were moving up an hour. Didn't help.

Listening to 23 radio they are thinking like a 2 hour delay for all the rain to get out of area, but nothing official

I mess with every week, but also don't take a long time with it. Just use some common sense and keep road course guys available for road courses (SVG, possibly Allmendinger etc)

Also don't make picks until after qualifying.

Thats about all I got for you lol

DFSArmy has some real in-depth NASCAR analysis every week, it’s obviously a paid subscription but I have had real good success on DratfKings using their research.

Man I really got into NASCAR when I started reading about this guy named Jeff Gordon winning all of these races as a youngster.

A couple of years later TMS opened and me and some buddies went to the race in the second year and sat in the infield close to the tunnel between 1 and 2.

That first lap when they came by is something I will never forget. The most incredible site and sound I have ever experienced at a sporting event. 
I became a fan.

It took that car less that a tenth of a second to reach the finish line in that bottom pick.

Fair, but that's just a picture I took of my television. This crash was in progress and evident well before that point.

Or are you suggesting that this type of crash at this moment came as a complete surprise to race control? I mean, considered who we're talking about, I guess it very well could have...

I dig your username.

That was the name of the band I was in back in 1970.

We won second place in the 1970 Austin Aqua Fest Battle Of The Bands.

Contraband won first and they were great.

Pretty sure race control always delays the yellow when a crash sequence begins on all tracks at least for a second or two to see how it plays out.

It’s a nickname that my high school football coach, Warren Trahan, gave me because he said I was running around the field with my head up my ass like a (bunch of expletives) Ichabod Crane. The nickname has stuck with me for life.

I don't think they're very consistent at that, though I would agree that different tracks and different situations require different considerations. But at a plate track and when it will clearly decide the outcome of the race if you wait? (and wait for what, exactly? "maybe this Big One won't be very big???")

Throw it on the early side. 

I find plate races tedious and boring and needlessly expensive/destructive/unsafe, so it's not like I felt like I lost out on anything, but I think this was just another entry in the long tally of NASCAR putting it's thumb on the scale and/or operating inconsistently.

Our Coach always called us constipated dogs.

I agree.

Plate races are great when they don’t crash on the last couple of laps but that rarely happens.

Boneless pork chop, sausage, burger patties, wrapped japs, corn on the cob and one hot dog for the dog.  We're ready.

Same, didn’t help that some of my uncles are/were into building dirt track cars for the local dirt tracks.

And Adrian Fernandez being bad ass around that time too
