NASCAR 2017 Thread

Fun race at Watkins Glen today. MTJ with another win. Almost guaranteed he'll be at Homestead.

That team has something. They got some spooky engineering going on to be doing what they doing.

Seems that way. But the winners always get post race inspection. Jeff Gordon won 13 races in 1998 and had 26 top 5s. It happens some years.

Bristol's a trip. It's the only track where I wear earplugs. Grandstand is so high the sound can't get out. My friends from Wexford are going.
You camping or in a hotel?
Watch your speed though town. They have photoradar cameras. I got a speeding ticket in the mail a few weeks later with photos of my truck and license plate.

I wore earplugs at Kentucky so I'll definitely be wearing them at Bristol.

We're camping but like 40 minutes away so I don't expect much of a party there. Is there a good tailgating scene outside before the race? I'm thinking about tailgating. Also, it said you could take a cooler 14 inches wide in. Can you take beer in it? It didn't say it was prohibited.

I suppose there's tailgating. We always stay at Dave's Family Camping which is literally across the road and within walking distance. You can take beer in but no glass. All has to be in cans.
Bristol doesn't sell out anymore so traffic shouldn't be as bad as it used to be, but leave early and expect to get back late.
FYI, the first two times we went our seats were in the very top row above Turn 1. Check that out when you're there. The inside is not a whole lot larger than Heinz Field but it seats 100,000 more people. Think about it.

Probably finding out that no one can afford to pay him big money. Kind of like Jason Worilds except Matt is actually good at his job.
 
Matt: "I don't really have anything to be unhappy about," he said. "Things can turn on dime. But my life couldn't be much better. I've never really been in a better place. I don't think I've ever been happier. There's more to life than racing."
 
Watching the Italian Grand Prix right now. Apparently they don't have a ban on advertising hard liquor like NASCAR does. Johnny Walker billboards everywhere.
 
Darlington was a good race, throwback cars were cool

The King got black flagged for not pulling off the pace car lap

The King's old Hemi would probably keep up with the new cars too.
I loved all the throwback stuff. Watching that race was a good time.
 
Thanks to Clint blowing up, as long as Matt either wins, we have a repeat winner, or finishes ahead of either McMurray or Elliott, we're in the playoffs.
 
oh well, if you're not cheatin, you're not tryin - got his wins, got him in the show
 
What a stupid clown circus race that was.....stupid ambulance runs down pit road and Matt crashes out avoiding it - but Kyle Larson is a repeat winner so we're in.

Denny crashes the 78 at the end and we almost miss that chance

Stupid ambulance, stupid nascar


**** me
 
Yeah, what the hell was that about?
 
I just told you - it was the ******* ambulance causing a wreck on pit road
