Hmmmm you need three cases of Busch beer. Any turn that is not left is probably an accident . Peanut M&M cars will kill you. 7 layer dip is a necessity with chips too.

There's about a 3 1/2 hour (and counting) rain delay after "the big one".
During that time, they showed the making of Days of Thunder (interesting) and The Busch Clash from Monday on the Daytona road course (good racing AND right turns) for those that didn't catch it on Monday.

They still use drum brakes on the ovals, right?
.
No drum brakes, all 4 wheel discs. https://brakeexperts.com/what-brakes-does-nascar-use/
My sentence structure misfired
... they are those models on a few template pieces but complete car looks nothing like showroom models.I do believe the Mustang got real close
No worries Steve. I was thinking your fingers were a bit locked up from the coldMy sentence structure misfired
Better than the cars looking like a Yugo......most of the cars on the road look the same to me anyway

#102452 Sometimes Hangared... But Always Aimed Out
Here we go un-interrupted; it appears the rain is out of here. A 9:35pm ET re-start.
AFAIK, all cup, so called, cars are built to the same stringent nascar requirements, chassis, body, engine, suspension. Decals are the differences. AFAIK there are seven road race circuits this season. Which is fun to watch. There’s more to simply turning left to NASCAR. Imagine the terror hanging on to seven to eight hundred horse power somewhere north of two hunnerd mph for several hours. Not to mention surrounded by forty other vehicles. So yah, there’s that to consider.
Turn left is half of it.
Haul ass turn left, haul ass turn left, haul ass turn left; was that four times. Nope; ok, haul ass turn left.
Well- I didn't get back after the rain/demo delay but actually enjoyed what little i saw. I'll watch the next one too. There is a professional sports production template that I alternately find offensive and annoying but the event itself (if it's even possible to separate from the production and insipid talk) was kinda fun. I'll be back. Thanks for the heads-up as well as a few insights...
Glad you enjoyed it!
The “color commentators” are sorta universal throughout Sports- except for my Buddy Brockmire
An amazing amount of telemetry, cable cameras, drone footage and broadcast cameras are integrated into a production that can put the spectator directly into the action.
Looks like a lot of changes are in store for the races this year including running Bristol on dirt.
It seems NASCAR is doing/changing/adapting to further the enjoyment of the fans.

Looking forward to next generation cars. Carbon fiber, independent rear suspension, more road races, or, has this already happened? AFAIK they’re still running solid rear axles. Not to mention six speed sequential gear boxes. More and more it’s gonna change to the Aussie sedan racing, which is exciting. All the decades of NASCAR team data will be out the preverbal window. Deep sixed. Bye bye. And paleese, forget about electric engines, sheeese. We can play with our slot car tracks at home.
A mix of oval and road is the best of both. Watching the Rolex 24 hours at Daytona can be incredibly boring. Similar to Le Mans. NASCAR ain’t sittin still.
