2021 NASCAR thread

And, I'd say the Supra will be the new Toyota cup car, instead of the Camry for 2022

 

Well, I now realize it was an April Fool's thing: https://carbuzz.com/news/toyota-supra-3jz-is-coming-to-crush-the-c8-corvette

 

1988 Phoenix race is on Fox.

 

Here is some racing worth watching to fill in the gaps..

 

Just watched the 2003 Darlington race a few nights ago on FS2.

I never did get to see that race live... Only watched the highlights. And although I knew the outcome of the race... That didn't change the fact on how exciting it was.

 

no races to camp at, so camping to fish I stead

 

His Nascar career could be over.

 

I hope so. I'm a Chase Elliott fan, but I like Larson as well. I'd really like to see what he can do in that 14 car. Plus Tony will let him race his sprint cars whenever he wants.

 

We gotta cry over words... nascar is getting stupid....

 

I agree, but it's not just Nascar, it's the whole damn world.

 

I'm not a conspiracy guy but could it be intentional to get out of Ganassi and into SHR? If so, it's a pretty terrible way to go about it.

 

Very well could be. After he completes the steps Nascar will make him go through.

 

All of Larson's sponsors have dropped him, even Chevrolet.

 

I'm essential so I have to work for a living... anyone know what he said?

 

So.... this is where we are at as a culture?

We end a great mans career over a word?

Not a pattern of hate... not even calling out someone specific... but a word?

 

The "N" word. And it wasn't directed towards anyone.

 

Not a pattern of hate, just saying dumbass stuff stuff didn’t have to be said. Coke dropped him months ago over an undisclosed situation. He’s also made numerous quips about Asians following them up with “I can say that because I’m Asian.”

 

At this rate drivers are going to stop participating in streamed races.

Not to excuse what was said, but he thought he was on his private discord chat, not broadcasting publicly. What's next? Are Alexa and Siri going to start reporting people that say offensive things at home?

 

I love how people bury someone for doing or saying something but fail to realize the things themselves do and say. None of us are any better than anyone else. The man messed up, we all do, move on.

 

What annoys me more than anything these days... Is we live in a culture to where nothing's forgiven. You can say or type something on a post years ago when you were young and dumb... but that can still come back to haunt you as an adult.

People mature. It's the human evolution... I'm not the same person I was last week much less 10-15 years ago when I'm sure I said or did some very stupid things. The fact that one word can potentially ruin your entire life no matter when it was said it's quite retarded to me.
