NASCAR 2023

Boogity boogity boogity.
It's all about the downforce.

Racing for starting positions on FS1. Pole qualifying was last night.

Turned the duels on briefly after Purdue got their butt kicked, again. Attendance looked atrocious. Maybe 1k people.

NASCAR attendance? Man I never looked in the stands. You saw more people than I did.

I was in a generous mood when I said 1k. I still will tune in from time to time. Just not quite the priority it was in the earlier days (1985-2000) for me

I feel the same. If I'm home and have time I'll watch. Also doing my best to ignore the wokeness. I was sceptical of Fox's new black pit reporter, Josh Sims but he did a great job and (after some research) I found he is respected in the garage.

The first duel was a snoozer, but the second one wasn't too bad.
I'm not a fan of super speedways where drivers have to depend on other cars and drafting so much. I prefer tracks that take more driver skill to out brake and out drive others to win.

I enjoy Daytona, Talladega & The Brickyard. Don't care for the Little Paper Clip/Soup Bowl Tracks. Whoever said "it's become less of a Priority than it used to be," Nailed it for me as well. Watched it fervently when King Richard Petty was driving. Go Woke, Go Broke!

“Speed weeks“ is now down to 5 days with no practice.
almost as bad as “the month of may”…

The no practice thing is really dumb. Several cars had issues that almost cost them making the 500. They would have been sorted out in practice.

Stage 1 truck race went by quick.

Lots of names I'm not familiar with in these trucks. I'm waiting for the Big One myself

Greg Van Alst won the ARCA series in his Sam Pierce Chevrolet. He owns a fence company in Anderson Indiana and has 20 sponsors.

I hardly watch NASCAR anymore. I used to love the short track races, Talledaga, and, since it was the first race of they year—Daytona. But not so much anymore. I don’t even know who all is driving anymore.

I was watching this one when this happened. Hard to believe it’s been 22 years. I loved to watch him race.

We had a bunch of friends over at our house watching that race. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

IKR. That wreck didn’t even seem all that violent either.

No it didn't! You'd see wrecks where cars would go airborne, flip multiple times, etc. and the drivers would walk away unscathed. His looked like a typical collision with the wall. We were all just gobsmacked.

Austin Hill won Xfinity. Sam Mayer flipped on the last lap, Hill pushed forward before the yellow came out. They had to review tape to pick the winner.
Hill got pole, had trouble with his radio, started in the back, and won stage 1.
He was holding the lead with 2 to go and a caution came out.
