2023 NASCAR THREAD!!!

Thanks. Turns 7 and 9, the grandstand, and the island in the middle were pretty packed, but the other sections were less so.

 

On vacation and saw this near Cheyenne, WY. Told my wife that he's usually good for a caution or two. On their way back from Sonoma.

 

Didn't realize how slow I was until I was passed by the Erik Jones hauler. Also got passed by a hauler carrying track drying equipment.

 

Transition from Fox To NBC. Typical week hiatus.




Plus, don't want to interfere with the US Open

 

Not since they got rid of the first date for MIS. They also have adjusted the schedule a couple of times since then though.

 

MIS used to always be on father's day. But they also never used to race on Easter and had a couple more random weeks off. Then they added races and decided to put the break at the halfway point.

 

I actually agree with him on this one...

 

Kyle Busch actually said something similar a couple of years ago. That's saying quite a bit considering how good he has been at Bristol.

 

There are way too many tracks that don't get used because certain tracks(**cough ISC cough**) haaaaaave to have 2 dates.

I'd love to see more variety. Add a couple more short tracks like Iowa, and I'd love to see the stock cars run the Nashville street course.

 

Unless they fix the cars, as bad as I hate to say this, keep them off short tracks. Short tracks are the most boring ass races now. Yep, I still hate the fucking car.

 

I would extend this to include the fact that most tracks are owned by one of like 3 different companies which also limits their leeway.

 

More HP is needed. Although I will say seeing the comments talking about how boring certain races are is quite comical when also hearing comments about going "back to the old ways" of doing things. Most races from, say, 1998, would be considered boring by today's standards. I agree the car needs to be improved (mainly, let's add HP back), but not everything is all it is cracked up to be. It wasn't long ago that the leader had a 6 second lead after only 10 laps at 1.5 mile tracks.

 

I’m really pulling for Rickie, but he’s not good when he’s leading on the weekend. He’s better when he is chasing.

 

Thought this was funny

 

Probably some truth to this.

 

He’s hanging in there! I’m pulling for him as well. He’s had some tough years but has worked his butt off too

 

Bubba don’t look too comfortable in that photo either. MJ probably whispered in his ear, just before the photo, ‘last chance.’

 

That putt is going to haunt him tomorrow.

 

Not the way you want to finish a round for sure!

Let’s hope today he brings it home!

 

Are you all watching Golf? Or the Grass Growing?
