The NASCAR (and other Racing) Thread

[Pete]

Noah Grayson has been suspended indefinitely by Legacy. Why, you ask?

Spoiler

For not having a burner account. Dumbass.

Josh Berry will helm the 42 at Michigan.

Scuttlebutt is that this will be JHM's ride next year. 

Also, don't read the comments.

Official now after 48 hours of "yes they did/no they didn't" back and forth.

In before the DARFs boycotting Columbia and Star Wars.

[Pete]

RIP.

[Mister TV]

The Las Vegas F1 race is on its way to being the disaster most people predicted, loose manhole covers shut down last nights practice.

 

[Pete]

Thoughtful discussion to the left, "thanks I hate its" to the right.

Programming note: NASCAR has bumped up the Clash to tonight so they can avoid the monster storm approaching the coast.

[Travis Sheldon]

There is no reason to have a race there.

Horrible track setup.

[Pete]

Welp, that was crazy.

Congrats to Rajah Caruth!

Formula One.

 

They turn right and left, and they turn into Red Bull domination shortly after the green flag drops.

NASCAR All-Star Race was a snoozefest between lap two when Kyle Busch put Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the fence, and post-race when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. punched Kyle Busch in the face, and then Ricky Stenhouse Sr. tried to punch Kyle Busch as well.

Looks like Floyd Mayweather's quixotic attempt to lead a full-time NASCAR team has come to an end.

Two of The Money Team's owners took the 50 number, split from Floyd and formed Team AmeriVet (a new owner runs a financial services company called AmeriVet Securities). Ty Dillon will race for the team Sunday.

TMT was formed in 2019, ran about 2-3 races a year, couldn't find sponsors and were a non-factor on the track.

The snoozefest that was monaco has to have F1 trying to figure out if there's something, ANYTHING that they can do to make the race not suck.

 

Great visuals, horrible race track

They need to widen the streets, or run a special Monaco-only car that is significantly narrower. You just can't pass out there, even with everything in your favour.

Got to review a galley copy of the upcoming book on F1

Pretty decent. it's more of a coffee table book (it's very hard to cover the history and the current mania about Formula One in just 260 pages (less when you consider the graphics-heavy format the book does), but it does cover a bunch of the drivers and circuits that made Formula One grow in the old days, to the Drive-to-Survive led 2020's mania.. It did make me wish that someone did an Oral History of F1 book covering areas in much more detail..
