2025 NASCAR THREAD

I suspect this is the case. Considering she wears hats like a Kyle selling meth at a SoCal Circle K.
But hey, props to Tony for fucking LP, knocking her up and taking her job. Not sure if he hates her or loves her.

 

How did Rowdy get mixed up in this? LOL

 

Larson.

 

I saw a clip of Larson on Harvicks podcast yesterday talking about when he runs xfinity. Larson said when he runs in that series it is his goal to embarrass the xfinity drivers and NASCAR. LOL... He was like, I want them to know how big the gap is and how far they have to come to get to the cup level. Hence why he puts 10 seconds on the field. That is also why limiting the cup guys in that series is not good for the development of the drivers in that series.
To be fair, Larson routinely does the same to the cup field. Larson, Busch and probably Hamlin to a point all have something internal that is just more than the other drivers have. They have a need to win. This is what allows them to run the car on the extreme edge. Denis uses his experience and great equipment. Busch is coming the terms with being in shit equipment and sees his role changing and I believe has lost the fire. Larson just loves to be in any car and has the best equipment. I don't think he even cares that much about the championships. He just wants to beat the hell out of you week to week. No one respects the championship format anyway.

 

Not KB. Just a random SoCal Kyle. You know, a Kyle.

 

I have said before, I don't think the Cup Drivers should be able to run in the Xfinity Series. They are better drivers and normally win. They need to give the drivers in the Xfinity Series a chance to learn and compete against themselves not to just get their Ass Whooped.

 

They should get all the potential Cup drivers out of Xfinity so it’s fair as well. Get rid of the champions and points. Hand out participation ribbons and sit in a circle holding hands around a campfire and sing Kumbaya so nobody’s feelings and opinions don’t get hurt.

 

The Rockingham Saturday race is sold out. The only issue hampering Friday's truck race is the 5 pm start time. Thankfully, my job is closed on Friday, so I can make the drive. I'm looking forward to experiencing The Rock!

 

That is awesome. I grew up going to the Rock. The track is out in the middle of nowhere and had a two lane road leading to it. That seems like it was it's demise. When the race was over they would close one lane and open them both up to only go one direction but still took hours to get out. Back then the front stretch stands were just concrete so they sold a ton of those old seat cushions. We would stay about an hour away, would get to the track around 0700, you could bring in your food and drinks. It was my favorite weekend growing up.
That was the AC Delco weekend and my dad had a friend who owned a parts store so he would have a ton of tickets. We would have VIP access so we could go anywhere. Seems we always had 60 or so extra tickets for Sat so Mr. Frasier (dads buddy) would give me and my buddies all the extra tickets and we would walk around outside the gate giving them away. A group of 40ish of us would all go and stay in the same hotel. Would always have passes to the infield and cars were on the track from early Friday all day until the Busch race ended on Sat. Then we would be back early for the cup race on Sunday. It was an awesome time.
I hope you enjoy it and make some of those same memories.

 

Signs of the future?



One of the recent rule changes.

 

They want the Cars to be Quiet Enough so the People That Live there can figure out Which Direction the Shots are coming from so they can still get out of the way.

 

they did this last year. IIRC, the air movement was enough to break windows of storefronts.

 

I miss when multiple cup regulars would run Xfinity week in and week out. It was much more watchable and those who came into cup seemed much better prepared.

 

It's been in place for a few years. There and LA required them.

 

I am aware of the previous requirements for the mufflers.
Just interesting that it is a new addition to the rule book.
There have been talks about it for a few years. Especially the smaller tracks like Bristol, Martinsville, Richmond.

Edit to ad:
The highlighted area is the change. That is added by NASCAR to show what section was changed.
There is also a change to the design of the Muffler. Interestingly enough the Exhaust part, (normally ran), and the Muffler part is also a single source component made by one specific manufacture.

 

Glad to see Rockingham back!
