2017 Nascar Thread

@Bsheriff11 @MadDaddy do you know how good of internet is needed for raceview on the computer? Thinking of getting it bc my gmother has cancer and I don't plan to leave the house to go watch the race

 

Not sure. Never used it. I DO use the NASCAR Drive feature. It's tricky to find on the site, so I just google "NASCAR DRIVE." Careful, 'cause it'll change the search to "NASCAR drivers." Between this and MRN/PRN, I'm good on race day.

 

Doesn't have to be great, what speed internet you Got? I'd imagine dsl would even run it fine.

 

I'll try @MadDaddy solution first...

“The first Coors Light Pole Award for the No. 21 Woods Brothers Ford since Ricky Rudd earned the top starting spot at Talladega in April 2004. Before that, the last Wood Brothers pole came in 1984 at Atlanta, with Buddy Baker behind the wheel.”

 

Kyle Busch wins one and I fell asleep after the 4th or 5th caution... Was it a wreck fest last night?

 

Me and Mr. Leonard Wood on pit road at Darlington Raceway, 2012:

 

JFC! Danica has taken some big licks in Cup, but that one might take the cake. MRN says Almirola is being airlifted to the hospital awake and alert. Let's stick Alex Bowman in the #43 next week. Blaney's looking pretty stout again. Kansas is his best track.

any updates on Almirola ?

 

Was complaining about back pain. I wouldn't be surprised if he crushed some discs on impact and when the car came down.

 

Crash looked nasty , I just saw the end after flipping over after the hockey game ended

 

Last fireball I saw like that was the ARCA race at Daytona in February. Dudes came into the tri-oval and hell broke loose. We were sitting high enough that we didn't get any of the sparks/debris/flames. Dude hit the wall so hard it broke the fence and his back. They had to cut him out.

Any updates this morning?

 

Being held another night for observation.

 

Almirola has a T5 compression injury to the vertebrae, just got released.

"Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford, has been released from a local Kansas hospital and will fly back to his home in Mooresville, N.C. today.
Almirola suffered a compression fracture to his T5 Vertebra after a multi-car accident at Kansas Speedway Saturday night. Almirola is mobile and will follow-up with his doctors in Charlotte.
Richard Petty Motorsports will provide further updates when available."

 

he's a nice guy too

 

All-Star Open:

Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, and Clint Bowyer win segments to get into All-Star race. Danica Patrick gets the fan vote.

After that I have no clue what will happen. I hope it's not a bore (which it's been since like '95). I'll be sitting up in turn 1, just below the suites. I can't wait!

 

Danica might be close in that fan vote, she was a shill after that wreck last week and Landon Cassill has been a warrior in social media lately. Danica is on her way out of this sport
