The Official NASCAR Talk Thread

The rain is departing, nothing else is in sight, and the Air a Titans are on the track. They're getting this in tonight.

Not technically. Tonight will only last for another 1.74 hours.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

On the bright side, the crowd is probably really drunk by now.

Not technically. Tonight will only last for another 1.74 hours.

They're getting this in before sunrise. How about that?

@EddieDHondt: Air Titan peeps have told the NASCAR tower it's going to take them until "12 or 12:30 to get the track dry."


So this means that the race will be starting in the early morning.

Not sure if this is better than running it tomorrow afternoon.

Good call nbc. Jackasses. Also the sound is bad. Get better microphones.

Should never have moved the race from Saturday now I have to decide if I want to stay up late and watch or get some sleep for work tomorrow.

I like hearing the roar of the engines over the commentators.

Exactly. Fox picked up engine noise wonderfully.

Will NBC continue the tradition from the previous era?

Nothing
But
Commercials

Nothing

If their F1 coverage is anything to go by, then I expect a metric **** ton of commercials.

 

[gordonr24]

Not a wreck already.....come on guys

Kybu is hard in the wall. His dream is likely over.

 

[gordonr24]

I liked the 1-2-3-4 top 4 that we had going there for a few laps.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

It's the best thing to happen to nbc.

Cassill runs so darn well on the restrictor plate tracks.

So does everybody else who doesn't deserve to be in nascar.

 

[gordonr24]

Restrictor plate races evens out the field.

The 88 is strong,even in traffic it seems like he can go where he pleases

 

[gordonr24]

It's a miracle for Austin Dillon. He went driver side into the fence too.

@JimmieJohnson: "I'm shocked that Austin Dillon's even alive after all he went through. I expected the worse."

 

[YankeeVol]

Wow.

 

[Tennessee Lead]

That crash was absolutely terrifying. I expected the worst. Austin definitely had the Lord with him. So thankful that the fans weren't seriously injured.
That's by far the sickest feeling I've had since Dale passed in turn 4.

The Nationwide wreck back in 2013 when Larson went into the fence was pretty bad as well.

DVR's are a wonderful invention.

Not so fast. He came back to a 17th place finish and gained 9 points on 30th.

That was one of the worst wrecks I've ever seen. Thank the Lord nobody was hurt.

They are, but my DirecTV box won't let me record more than 3 hours past the scheduled end of the broadcast, so I woke up this morning to find I still only had the first half of the race recorded.
