"late race road course restarts"

Yeah baby!

[retsevlys 408]

So Chase Elliott ran out of gas celebrating yesterday.  A tow truck came and pushed him to victory lane.  Wouldn't it be simpler to put some gas in the car and drive it, or is this a post race inspection issue?

[RPM 26354]

I would think an inspection issue. You don't want to contaminate the vehicle. Plus, tow truck drivers need airtime too.

he drove his ass off to win that race, nice job

[retsevlys 408]

Agree.   I'm a Chase fan and was on edge hoping he could hold off Truex.  He dominated that race.  It's crazy that the two races he's won are Talladega and the Glen.

There will be no Slayer-sponsored car at Bristol tonight after all.

I mean it’s just Slayer. It’s not like its Cradle of Filth.

So when is NASCAR gonna break out the tarps for their half empty racetracks?  Tonight would have been a good night. 

[hookem48 4703]

Sort of exciting race in Indy for the dozens in attendance. 

[Prepuce of Doom 21103]

Just think of how much more exciting it would have been if they could have picked up a piece of debris and restarted the race in 6 laps to end Stage 2.

Pretty annoyed that nobody wrecked Ryan Newman. I hate that guy. 

[elfenix 34332]

roval tomorrow!

 

they should run the infield at daytona once a year as well

nbc missed a restart.  god this channel fucking sucks

edit: might be the stream.  cuts to a different set of ads a second after the broadcast goes into ads.  i'm guessing the broadcast comes back properly and the stream comes back a second behind.  just damn near missed another.

Elimination race in Kansas was actually exciting at the end watching the points.

TV coverage is exceptionally bad too.

Flipped over to NBCSN to see how the crowd at TMS looked. What crowd? The front stretch might be 30% full.

They were all at the F1 race in Austin.

I know it sounds silly, but that fall race is always on the opening weekend of deer season.  That's a big damn deal to the demographic.

Is the season over? Thought I saw a race at Homestead on the tv guide not long ago. That's still the last one, right? Who won the cup?

Yes the season is over. Kyle Busch won the championship.

OK, swell. Cue the Busch outrage? Honestly, I thought he was the best racer on the circuit 5+ years ago. It's been a Willie v Nashville story.

[Jshep34 2321]

Huge Kyle Busch fan. He has the same drive to win every race like Dale Sr had. Heck of a talent behind the wheel.

[Prepuce of Doom 21103]

And he's one of the handful of drivers with an abundance of personality. 

[Jshep34 2321]

Most drivers have become corporate robots. Busch, and Bowyer are not that way.

Man I just saw that John Andretti passed away yesterday from a long battle with colon cancer.

Seemed like a good guy.

RIP John and fuck cancer.
