January 24, 20214 yr Should be an interesting season. I hope we start to have practices and qualifying again - made various fantasy games a real challenge last year. Larson is back, Bubba and MJ pairing up, no more Jimmie or Bowyer, typical shitty driver moves by Joe Gibbs, Harvick and KyBu both having disappointing seasons last year, etc. If anyone is interested in a weekly "fantasy football" style league (drivers are split into three groups - small top tier, large midgroup, and a huge list of backmarkers/one-off racers; pick a new lineup each week, you can only use a driver 8x throughout the whole season, etc.), please let me know. I've run this the past few years, and it's usually been a $30 per entry, winner-take-all deal with a small number of participants (I think the most I've had is 5 total?) but it's fun. Shoot me a PM and/or post here... Also, if anyone is interested in a different sort of fantasy pool where you have to pick one driver per week and you can't use anyone twice (picks are made on a weekly basis, not all at once at the beginning of the season!), please hit me or @Jim Krivacs up either here in the thread or via PM. We're thinking of making it $150 per person for the whole season. It's been $100 per with about 10-12 participants in the past, but we've had a couple of folks drop out this season due to money getting tight during Covid, so we've got fewer people committed to it right now than we usually do. Last year with 11 participants, I took first and about $650, second got $300, and third took $150. We're all reaching out to our own personal networks, so if this is something that might interest you (and it's a great way to make NASCAR fun again!) please respond sooner than later.
February 1, 20214 yr Looking forward to a great season. Lots of different tracks. Drivers on the move. Cant wait to hear bowyer in the booth. Daytona we will be in there in week and halfSent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

February 14, 20214 yr Don’t really do much nascar but can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Dale. I watched it live I won’t forget it because it seemed so “regular” in terms of crashes. But damn 2 decades in an instant

February 14, 20214 yr Wonder how much NASCAR is paying Pitbull and Michael Jordan to be team “owners.”
February 15, 20214 yr Bummer that's his food sponsor, you'd want better after finishing the grueling Daytona 37.
February 15, 20214 yr Well I wanted Logano and Kez out of the way, just hope nobody was hurt too bad. McDowell, not McDonalds! Edited February 15, 20214 yr by clapclapclap
February 15, 20214 yr McDowell caused the wreck and won, good stuff. damn, is he the biggest driver to ever win?
February 15, 20214 yr when you can't do donuts in the infield because there's a bunch of camera guys standing there
February 15, 20214 yr so Keselowski slowed up trying to get the push from McDowell and he fucked himself, got pushed right into Lagano. great ending, fuck all the big name guys
February 15, 20214 yr when the guys running first and second are both slowing up on the last lap then your race setup is fucked and that would have been a hell of a finish if they let them run to the finish line.
February 15, 20214 yr Our first 500 in the books. Up at 9am, at track from 1pm to 12am, 5 hour rain delay. Getting back to hotel at 130am. Son ( 8 year old) never complained. Proud dad making memories Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
February 21, 20214 yr Dang, there's some very hot weather racing coming up this summer. Can't believe they're starting the COTA race at 1:30. https://www.nascar.com/nascar-cup-series/2021/schedule/
February 21, 20214 yr I don’t know who Christopher Bell is but he just beat Logano. That makes him OK in my book.

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk I do, but I used to live in Miami and have seen many races there (my favorites are probably the IndyCar races when Marlboro gave free tickets and a bunch of swag to everyone on their mailing list) so I might be biased. Nowadays I enjoy watching Larson (and Reddick) run the high line. The progressive banking distinguishes it from all the other true cookie cutter tracks, and it's nowhere near the most boring track on the recent schedules in my opinion.

March 1, 20214 yr Congrats to Lord Byron. So we'll go no more a-rolling (tonight) Edited March 1, 20214 yr by clapclapclap Surprised he wasn't driving a Corsair

They will get faster as track gets better and teams figure out setup.
March 1, 20214 yr Could be one to watch. Certainly won’t have to worry about equipment and sponsorship ... https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/xfinity/story/_/id/30936533/joe-gibbs-grandson-ty-wins-xfinity-clash-first-nascar-race
March 1, 20214 yr Author Reddick certainly didn't disappoint yesterday. What a solid run he had there at the end. Byron is a human Ken doll.

Covid'd. 2021... snowed out, but rescheduled for Spring Break. I hate to see what mother nature's gonna throw at it next. Edited March 1, 20214 yr by wood
March 2, 20214 yr Stuck at work, but my buddy is out at Haywood's Hill, catching some of the tire test with his phone...
