Nascar 2014 season

Chase and Larson are the next superstars of NASCAR. This is my first class I've really got to see "grow up" in front of me. Going to be an exciting future for sure.

On another note, WTF Jimmie. Get your shit together man! lol

 

The average cost per car for Hendrick Motorsports each weekend race is $700,000. 2 cars make that $1,400,000 per week. Counting 36 races means it costs just over $50 million a season for just 2 cars. (Since Hendrick fields 4 cars, that means $100,000,000 per year average. That is based solely on the cost of the cars, transportation, fuel, tires, etc. Doesn't take into account salaries of employees and such. Still probably not as much as F1 for sure. I just never did get into F1.

I grew up with Nascar, so that is where I hang my hat. Even got the chance to drive a couple of practice cars years back for some small teams. Back in the early and mid 90s they would take local drivers and use them for testing vehicles because their primary drivers were either busy racing, or busy taking time off. lol. I drove 4 times at different tracks in Texas. What a rush back then. Sadly I was not good enough to catch an eye.

 

Anyone know where I can watch the race on s SFW website?!

 

Can't help you there, but I will say you need to get sprint cellular if it works well where you live, the race app is awesome

 

Found it on foxsports.com, for once they put the race on the list to watch through my cable company. I would get Sprint, but service is sketchy here in the boonies

 

what do you all have for internet service

 

I got satellite, sucks ass, but it's all I have available out here. I'm just chillin with the radio on listening to the race...

 

Suddenlink. Not sure what we have here at work though.

 

Waiting to see who here will blame Danica for Almirola spinning. lmao.

 

Really good race there at the end. I said when everyone took 2 and Harvick took for that if we had a caution Harvick would win it. Dunno why Jimmie didn't choose the inside lane on that restart to block Harvick. Oh well, at least we had a repeat winner. Too bad it was Harvick. Stewart-Haas is on fire this season.

 

I agree with you. I am surprised as well that JJ didn't take the bottom line. Also the 2 tire stop was an unfortunate gamble. Even if Harvick took 2 tires, and was back out front, JJ and Junior on 4 tires would have ran him down. And if JJ and Junior DID take 4, and Harvick took his 4, they would have had a chance at it. Ah well. That is the name of the game. I was happy to see Danica not backing down as much as she usually does. The girl drives TOO clean most of the time. She isn't taking chances like she should. I did enjoy seeing her race Almirola and not give in to him there. She still needs to work harder though. I think she just doesn't seem to want it bad enough. Still averaging a better finish than last year. Did better than a lot of other drivers today. I was glad she didn't get her Darlington stripe!

 

she finished ahead of Kurt

 

Just won a pair of tix, pace car laps, and pit passes for the Richmond race!

 

AHH...good for you...

 

What the?!?!?! Did you enter the toyota thing with hot laps and pit passes or radio give a way?

 

Toyota thing, won the hot laps

 

Trying to find out if there's a "Toyota Only" parking. I think I saw something like that last year.

 

You lucky bastard, let me know about the toyota parking I'd like to get in there. What time you gettin to the track?

 

Not sure yet, have family coming up from FL for the race.

 

Ok, ill prob get there around lunch, might come by and say what's up if you aren't busy riding around the track!
