2025 NASCAR THREAD

Bow tie wearing dork. Fuck Penske.

 

They all drove with their heads on their shoulders instead of Analy, No Big One. Good Finish for some of the Hendrick cars.

 

Everytime I see 3 wide I harken back to Benny Parsons calling the race...screaming "Ya can't go three wide in the corners, YA CANT GO THREE WIDE IN THE CORNERS!!"

Then a follow up in my head with a Jackie Stewart-ism..."Its a fine, fine day for motor racing"

I do have my wife quote Darryl's Boogity Boogity Boogity at the green

The last 2 races (200?) have not measured up to those days...

 

Joey Logano and Ryan Preece Cars were Disqualified in Post Race Inspections due to Rear Spoiler Violations.

 

Sucks for the 60 but at least he didn’t get stripped of a win

The 22. Well,

Certainly doesn't help when you also get kid-friendly sponsors like M&M's leaving the sport.

I am Far from being a Hair Club for Men Fan, But that bolt was tight when it went through Pre Race inspection. I am pretty sure that was not any wrong doing by the team. Long race, A lot of Vibration. That one probably should have been looked at as a Race Induced issue. It was nice that it Moved Kyle Larson and Willie B up a spot in their finishing spots LOL. But Come On.

 

Yeah, doubtful. These teams know how to keep spoiler bolts tight as well as the advantage in letting the spoiler lay down if ones comes loose. Just happens to happen at the track with the largest advantage. I mean good on em for trying but anyone who thinks this was not intentional does not understand the scrutiny these super speedway cars are under.

 

I don’t think you give these engineers the credit they deserve. I’m sure someone spent weeks figuring out exactly how to make that bolt tight going through tech and just how to make it come loose on the track. Remember Dega is in the playoffs so if you want that advantage now is the time to try. Nothing happens on that car that has not been modeled and run through cad or in race simulation. They knew damn well that bolt would come out. The areo advantage it would give and probably the lap it fell off. Not just hating on the 22. I would say the same if it were an HMS car. Good on em for trying.

 

Like the 4 cars magic back window.

 

Thats a Good Point.

 

Due to tariffs, Lionel has halted all new die-cast production and added a surcharge to in-stock die-cast. I rarely buy modern or new die-cast, but I pre-ordered the 2025 Wood bros Berry car, originally due in September, before the tariff deal. Who knows when or if I will see it now.

I'm with you! I have items that were pre ordered in February of this year. Hopefully I see them

 

Hopefully I get my JRM #40 hat I ordered for Daytona. Who knows. It cracks me up that you get the item several months after the event now. Crazy.

 

Luckily being a KBF fan I don’t have to worry about buying the Race Win cars anymore
