AHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT

This is probably going to be the best race of the weekend

>john wrecks townley

...

lel

All the contenders besides the top 3 have been fucked

And friendly reminder Austin Cindric is an asshole

>gwc in arca

And there's no bullshit overtime line or yellow during the white flag. The race must finish under green flag conditions.

...

>new hampshire

Who hyped for motogp here?

I can't tell if the Chase starts with fucking awful tracks because NASCAR is intelligently trying to hype up interest for them or because NASCAR is too retarded to know that I completely lack interest in the first round of the Chase because of them.

I assume if it was the former they would have changed the schedule instead of deciding they needed the world's most retarded playoffs to compete with football.

These fucks have their championship deciding race at one of the worst attended tracks in the sport though so who knows what they're thinking.

muh game sebben moments

...

>Still no road course in the chase

The ELMS still exists?

divegrass bump

Truck Series in 45 bings, right?

Truck thread?

Better to keep it in here because Divegrass is still going

Mosport would be perfect but rednecks would riot if the big boys raced in Canada

They know it's the only way to get anyone to go to these tracks this late in the season.

Already a meme race

>ben rhodes getting a crash in at the very last moment

Toyota has won the last six NASCAR races. Sounds rigged to me.

They just activated the bank account. Maybe if they win hard enough they'll be satisfied and send the money to Toyota Motorsport next year.

SCCA Runoffs H-production race just starting
Midgets, Rabbit GTIs, Hondas, a Fiat X/19, a Scion Iq...all sorts of weird shit.

Xfinity qualifying bump

4h races, P2s over GT3s. Not that bad desu, although if they'd put some decently edited highlights on jewtube I'd watch more of it.

Anyone going to be at Petit Le Mans, lads? I unexpectedly got next week off work, might end up there.

We got the
>VISITMYRTLEBEACH.COM 300
Coming up in half a bing, lads.
I'm going to be drunk, which is probably the appropriate mindset to watch this shit in.

at least ryan blaney is the only cup driver in it

Huh. Neat.

Someone gonna make a Busch series thread?

Go talk to your real friends about it LOSER

>xfinity race
>saturday night
>jgr/toyotawinslol

No need

O-ok. T-thanks

>bringing in Truex' pit crew to get an advantage
No

yeah but
>stand alone race with one cup driver in the field
>it's Blaney

Yep.

>Sam Hornish Jr. stil gets rides and isn't a shitter
huh

is there any advantage that one of the body styles has over another?

They're supposed to be equal in the wind tunnel but probably slightly.

Yes. Toyota keeps being allowed to cheat, which gives them an advantage.

I don't think we will need standalone threads for the Busch and Craftsman series until Talladega.

>competition caution not because of rain but the previous night's race

they're getting desperate

>visitmyrtlebeach.com 300
I wish this series still went to Myrtle Beach

Kek. Agreed.

I hate competition cautions. They're worse than DUHBRIS ones; because you can't play fuel strategy before them either.

Reminds me of when Sky mentioned that the grip for the F1 Shanghai race was not 'right' because the support series didnt use Pirelli tires and that the F1 cars would have to lay their own rubber to generate a grippier surface

Debris cautions are good because at least it was an attempt to be subtle and It was funny watching people pick up 2 inch pieces of metal off the track. I wouldn't be surprised if a caution clock gets added to the Xfinity Series soon.

That is a real thing. I have heard that the Pirelli tires the PWC uses and the Indycar "firestones" don't agree either.

Might be true in this case (ARCA using General Tire), but it's still kind of bullshit.

it's true though

ARCA ran last night with a different tire manufacturer
It didn't rain

It's an unknown as to the extent to which the Goodyear compound melts into the pre-existing ARCA rubber that's already laid into the track

Goodyear engineers are the impetus behind tire cautions
They have 1 mission in life: Make sure what happened at the Brickyard never ever happens again

What happened

Goodyear brought dog shit to the track that weekend

Tires failed after across the entire field after 10-12 laps of green flag racing

NASCAR was forced to through a tire-change caution every 10 laps

It was a fucking disaster

>Erik Jones in an Overwatch branded car
I gotta admit. I like this.
Nothing will ever top how cool Aleshin being in the DOOM car in the month of may was, though.

...

JGR wins again!

Attendance has never recovered from that race

FIRE

Overwatch sucks

As someone who used to live in the area, i feel like that is more because that race is dogshit, though. It's a single-file procession most times.

I don't play it, but video game sponsors in racing? That's pretty cool imo

The tire thing may have just been what pushed people over the edge since they were consistently getting 250,000+ for the previous races but after that race it's been a constant decline down to

Are you 12?
Gamestop has been putting whatever they want to promote on cars for years.
Normally they have elaborate schemes but this car is plain white.

And this broadcast is all around terrible

and least no "PRAWBLEMS"

I've been watching stockcars for about a year now. You seem very salty, lad.

...

>camera missed the entire crash, they didn't switch to another shot
>echoed sponsored spotter audio
This is obviously the B-team

they need to race the infield or just leave it

The commentating is way more awful today too

Oh shit. That would be awesome. Daytona deserves that too, imo

Doesn't the Daytona road course still have you run 3-4 and the front stretch? They're going to be flying without plates.

>350 cars
So? Gran Turismo on the Ps2 had way more
>on an open world
With nothing to do but drive, oh goody

I really want the open world meme to die. It's only good when there's a lot of exploration to do, and most games fall short on that.

Most games it just provides a mind-numbing commute between missions. I'm looking at you, LA Noire and Thi4f.

>miss the restart
>"it's ok though, you saw it in the corner of the screen"

If they can run pocono without plates, I don't see it being a problem, personally. Turn 1 is a HUGE deceleration zone; NASCARs would have to brake super early to make it without the aero sportscars have.

Man, that car looks nice.

I'm not saying they can't do it. Just going 200+ into a 90° turn is going to be interesting.

...

relax

Video game sponsors are cool and this commentary is fine.

That is why there is paved runoff, lad. Give them a couple of test days before they start it, and less shit tires than usual. I don't see it being a problem.

Is there an configuration with that track that goes from turn 5 to the backstretch, it seems a lot safer

They should run it like this imo

No.

2 strikes for Marks

Why do you want that? Prototypes don't even run over 230 coming into turn 1, and they have WAYY more downforce than a NASCAR could ever dream of.

Literally tiny Martinsville

My point being prototypes carry way more speed coming off the Bus stop than NASCARs could dream of.

I just don't want two giant wide open turns in a road course. One turn is plenty

This is what I meant. Should have highlighted the whole track

If Nascar were to run an infield, Homestead would actually be pretty good since it doesn't use the banking at either end of the circuit and has some long infield straights

>blaney is here in kentucky
Is really ballsy enough to race tonight and fly from Kentucky to New Hampshire tonight?

>Tye-dyelon

inb4 Brian France puts speedy dry above the outside groove on every track

He's running blocker for Bubba against JGR and RCR

>speedy dry causes more wrecks than the liquid on the track
Bravo NASCAR

You're out!

Kek

>this race

>alliance with RCR keeps their costs down
Pretty sure the money they're paying to get RCR cars doesn't

BOOGITY BOOGITY LETS GO RACING BOYS

CAUTIONS

>all these cautions
ARCA tier

CAUTIONS

>that tire removal spaghetti
holy shit, lol'd hard

Why does DJ say "as a driver" so effing much? I mean, who the fuck else is he gonna be talking about?

I guarantee at least one driver is going to complain about the speedy dry

>brandon jones and allgaier crashed tonight
>black cock, barring any issues of his own, will be ahead of them in points when this race finishes

>I won't see the "GRAHAM RAHALL GRABS THE LEAD" version of this dumb sunoco commercial again til' next year
Feels good, man

Neither is particularly good, but GRAHAM RAHAL TAKES THE LEAD is a lot better than the Johnson one.

No burger
No

>no tracer's ass on the gamestop car

hnnnnnggggg

>Making an example of Tifft
cmon now

>brain tumor forgetting to start in the box

GRAHAM RAHAL TAKES THE LEAD mind

Penalties are always so harsh because the nature of pit road. Why not just make you restart last car on the lead lap next caution. No caution comes out, you finish last on the lead lap.

>yfw its

Got to see Courtney force one for the first time in the suggestions. It's awful

They're going to get run over by the JGR rape train

Well that was interesting

>king arthur

Berried

>the 88 got loose
No. That's push. How dumb are these guys?

The commentating has been terrible tonight

Cope and Shepherd are the two drivers I root for every week.

>3 drivers in this race named Jones

Downforce makes you slower bruh.

You could have just said the Superbike track.

Can someone make a play of the game edit for that please?

No shit. It also means you can carry more speed into a braking zone such as turn 1, or off of the bus stop.

If you think a Sprint Cup car has any chance of lapping Daytona road course faster than a modern P2/DP does, you're wrong.

Holy shit that one crew guy working really hard in 3 garage. Kudos to that guy.

When did RCR hire Marlin?

>3 not allowed back on track
Working a little too hard, apparently

sadler thrives in this series

it was a good decision to move down from cup when he did

>"the chase is what this series needs"

more like shill jarrett amirite?

>dale's pale ale/oskar blues sponsorship
neat

Whelp. See you tomorrow lads. Don't forget SCCA Runoffs starts again at 8:30 EST if you need something to watch early.

Who's winning at Loudon?
Snuck into drivers meeting by pretending to be in the chair force, then got onto track, vip lounge, and then got caught by some nosy southern bitch at coors trailer.
Drinking on hill now. need crashes, come on Danica you wrecked last Sept.
