2021 NASCAR thread

it was such a spectacle. Not necessarily good or awful. I just couldn’t look away. It was like asking “well what could possibly happen next?!” for 2.5 hours.

 

I watched it.. it was crazy.

 

I watched the 48 continue to make a fool of himself.

 

Bob Jenkins died after fighting cancer.

The 43 is (quietly) for sale. Buy-in at RCR is an option but not for Harvick (lol). He burned that bridge. RWR is scaling back to a 1-2 car operation. Tony Stewart might offer him an ownership stake or sell his portion of the team. This one is the most probable.

 

Well... if he is working on a deal for the 4 he is doing a damn good job driving the value down. LOL...

 

I think you missed the post where I said bad performance in 2021 isn't necessarily his fault.

 

Hey now, if the 10 can pull off a win is SHR equipment then the 4 has little excuse to not put at least one race together.

 

Hopefully he finds some success there. I really hope he gets a win before this season is over. I doubt that will open up a ride but would be awesome to see. Can you imagine what he could do in the 24 or 48. For some reason I just do not like those drivers. I mean Byron, I doubt he will ever become much. And Bowman, he is such a nice guy and a great story but he is just hard to pull for. I know they are locked up in contracts but I would like to see those seats change.

 

Going to Xfinity isn't a bad career move... get more seat time and wait for a prime ride to open up in cup.

Next year... if he does drop down... imma pull for the 1 in cup.

He will be back to cup... he's way to good to stay down. I mean... he piloted 3rd tier crap to consistent top 15s before he joined Wood Bros. 2020 and 21 were not normal circumstances and he is still performing well most weeks.

 

Brickyard Road course. First time? I can't remember. Anyway, here are the betting odds:

Elliott 21-10
Larson 11-4
Truex 11-2
Ky Busch 10-1
Hamlin 12-1
Bell 15-1
Logano 15-1
Byron 20-1
Allmendinger 20-1
Cindric 20-1

Briscoe won the Xfinity road course race last year in awesome form. I'm not sure who else ran that race outside Allmendinger and Cindric. I'm looking forward to seeing how the bigger, heavier Cup cars tackle the circuit. On the circuit: It's not too exciting a layout. Turn 1 seems to be the most exciting passing zone I've seen. However, I could be wrong, as I don't think I've watched anything beyond race highlights. Easy picks: 9, 5, 19
Dark horse: 14

 

Indy Road ready!


18, 5, 9

 

why do they have issues with radios on road courses? makes no sense to me. lol. they are using the infield of the OVAL.

 

BOO @ CENDRIC winning

 

21 finished practice 9th. This could be a good weekend

 

Not many people in the stands

 

Well that’s sucks

 

Better vantage points in the infield.

 

Turning into a shit show
