>Thompson's the most historic track in New England but its future has been questionable for years please go there.
Wasn't it only opened in the 1970s? Surely there are older tracks in the region. It is definitely the most important for the Whelen Tour. I believe we have talked about this before, but I need to visit family and drag them along, I think a few might even have fun. The broadcast Wednesday said it was a sell out crowd and it sure looked like it, so that's good to see.
>Generally anything modified related in the south (e.g. SMART, Bowman Gray) is considered irrelevant.
Ugh, tell me about it. We have more dirt tracks than you can shake a stick at and every time I ask the dirt track fans about any kind of asphalt oval racing, they just aren't interested. I think the closest asphalt short track is Nashville Speedway (the one at the Fairgrounds) or maybe Bristol. Neither of which I can just pop over to on a Saturday night.
I'm glad to see Acez has been including more small time stuff, so hopefully, I can watch more of it and maybe we can even discuss it and develop a community here. I was really stoked to see that other anon asking about it.
Dirt modified are cool too, but they never really resonated with me. It's a weid middle ground between a late model and a sprint car and I prefer both of those to the dirt modifieds. Which isn't to say they can't put on a good race.

>IndyCar races there in 2 weeks.
That was all I could find at first. It's a kind of weird venue by modern standards since it's owned by the government. Is it owned by the State or West Allic or Milwaukee County or what?

Oh, good. The two biggest races this weekend are not only scheduled against each other (again) they are both ending at about the same time. Wonderful.

>>150172095
the state government owns it

Porsches at Road America, it's wet (like most of the rest of Wisconsin right now)

>>150171888
Thompson opened in 1940 (paved, with higher banking than it current does). The only other track still in existence that I know existed prior to Thompson is Stafford, but that was a horse track and I do not believe they raced cars until after WWII. And yeah, we have talked about this before.
I'm pretty sure I'm still the only one here that pays for Flo. It'd be great to feel like I'm not just talking to myself about modified (or other short track) racing like the good old fanschoice days again.
I was never really into dirt stuff in general and their modifieds even less so. There are shockingly 4 dirt ovals in New England, though they're all further north than nearly all the paved ovals.

How much is it, if you don't mind telling?
I am not so sure it would be worth it to me because I'm already pretty overwhelmed by series to watch and while its cool that a lot of smaller series run on weekends, they go way too late. I had to turn off Whelen last Wednesday at the halfway point.

Damn it. Also, based USAC.

>>150172903
$150/year. If you don't particularly care about something they broadcast, I doubt it's worth it for you.
I mainly watch for the NWMT and various other modified events (some Tri-Track, Stafford, New Smyrna). Getting the Chili Bowl, Tulsa Shootout, Snowball Derby, and big NASCAR sanctioned events like the Martinsville 300 are a bonus.
Fuck Racing America and pay-per-view pricing the same price as actual tickets.

Beautiful country. Also, do they really have a blimp up? Those things are pretty rare.

>>150173078
Well, I want to get more into modifieds, but I don't know if I have the time, or more accurately the scheduling is off.
>I mainly watch for the NWMT and various other modified events (some Tri-Track, Stafford, New Smyrna).
I would appreciate reminders of when those races are running. I might not be able to watch all of them, but I would like to try. I think they are really neat.
I watched some Chile Bowl and Tulsa, but I didn't follow the entire event. Still some good stuff.
Yeah, PPV is pretty lame, especially for such small series/events. They would be better off trying to grow their brand with advertising suppored free streams or subscription networks.

Does the Fox Sports app require a subscription?

>>150173610
Yeah, for NFL they do. I think it's the same with Thursday night games (which are normally on Amazon) and Monday night (ESPN), the local stations for the teams can show those games instead of whatever the normal primetime lineup is

Oh, yeah. No question about it. Popularity is kind of a double edged sword. It's good because it brings in money, but it's bad because you get a lot of midwhit casuals and it makes attending races less enjoyable.

nothing 200 feet of bearbond can't fix

I am casually looking at the cup race right now as an almost total novice and you guys need to help me out here a little bit.
Do teams not matter at all? It seems like the narrative is all about the drivers and sometimes about the badge on the car, but I hardly ever hear anything about team dynamics.
Even when they show a driver info card on screen it doesn't even mention what team they race for.
So what's the deal? Are teams just background noise in the context of NASCAR or is everyone just assuming that the audience knows every team-driver combo by hearth?

Also unrelated note but as a yuropoor I find it absolutely hilarious that a car is sponsored by a recruiting firm specialising in submarine manufacturing. Peak murica

>>150175176

>>150175500
>is everyone just assuming that the audience knows every team-driver combo by heart?
100% this
Team and even OEM dynamics come into the storyline often, mostly at plate tracks (Daytona, Talladega) where Chevys will help Chevys, Fords help Fords, etc. Last year Blaney tandem drafted his Penske teammate Logano to the lead and aero blocked a Toyota from catching him. And at Martinsville, Chevy cars created a blockade behind Byron, preventing him from being passed by other cars in the final laps so he wouldn't get eliminated in the playoffs.

>>150175724
>100% this
so novices like me that don't know who's who can get fucked basically? I hear the commentators mention teams in passing sometimes but unless I pay very close attention to what they say and take notes, there is no way for me to see which drivers belong to which teams.
I guess it's not that important in this sport, but having literally zero information on screen about this seems a bit weird.

>>150179119
I think what svg needs to do is laser focus on one oval type. He doesn't need to be good at short tracks or super speedways if hes above average at 1.5mile tracks. Something like that.

>>150179119
In this timeline, he will beat Logano's record at being the NASCAR champion with the lowest average finish on his championship season.

>>150175500
>Even when they show a driver info card on screen it doesn't even mention what team they race for.
IndyCar is similar, but not quite so bad. Essentially, no, teams don't matter in the current era of NASCAR. They might, MIGHT do some small things to help each other if they are farther down the feild, but if the SVG/Zillich racing has been proof of anything, it is that the teams end at the pit stall.

>>150175897
Teams DO matter in how well the cars get built, but that's about it.
>>150177075
>NASCAR is telling you to lurk moar nooblel
Yeah, there is an extremely high expectation that the viewers know absolute everything already and the topic of discussion is mostly what is happening this week. It helps to listen to the pods casts which probably make the situation worse for people who don't already know everything.

>>150179525
That's a pretty good plan since he has the road/street courses on lock and most of the tracks are cookie cutters. Plus, the car is specifically designed for them.

>>150175500
Each organization has 1-4 cars, the cars are considered teams. The 11 team races for Joe Gibbs racing, the 19 team races for Joe Gibbs. The owner’s championship tracks the result of the team/car as separate entities, there’s nothing like the constructors in formula 1 where the points are the total of the cars. Also theres 3 manufacturers across 36 cars, so it’s not really important, however Chevy guys will draft with Chevy guys at super speedways and stuff.

However, even though the teams are separate despite being in the same organization, they still follow the golden rule of not wrecking your organizational teammate.

It’s not really important as a casual fan to know the teams.

Example:
>joey logano and Ryan blaney and Austin cindric are all racing each other
>if they finish well, it benefits the individual drivers, not necessarily team Penske in the same way the constructors works in formula 1
>they are still told to not wreck each other.


Also guys can get penals for race manipulation if, for example Austin cindric blocks a driver who’s racing Joey Logano for the championship

>>150175500
>Do teams not matter at all?
Sort of. Actually, in the most recent years, manufacturers orders have been more common than team orders (like Austin Dillon holding part of the field back at Martinsville last year so one of the Chevys could pass to the championship finale at Phoenix), and just as
>>150175724
>>150181701
said, on superspeedways or drafting style of racing situations, cars from the same manufacturer will try to help eachother out. Also, just as the second anon that I quoted said, each car is treated as an individual team most of the time, even if they race under the same umbrella. However, it's possible to see sometimes drivers from the same organization helping eachother or even drivers from other organizations but which that one has a technical support from a higher team helping the drivers from it (just like Berry from Wood Bros. helping a Penske driver because Wood Bros. has a technical alliance with Penske).

>>150175500
The 24, 48, 5, and 9 are all the same organization (Hendrick Motorsports and are Chevy)

The 12, 22, and 2 are all team Penske cars and are fords, but they have a technical alliance with the 21 car which is a different organization but the car is prepared from the same shop as team Penske.

The 11, 19, 54, and 20 are all Joe Gibbs cars and Toyota.

The 23, 45 and the 35 car are 23XI (twenty three eleven) and are all Toyota and have an alliance with Joe Gibbs I think.

The 42 and 43 are legacy motor club and are Toyota.

The 6, 60, and 17 cars are roush Fenway keselowski and are ford.

The 47 car is its own team but I don’t recall the team name

not true. or at least, I don't believe that. we are the hardcore elite of motorsport fans. just by coming to this thread means you made the effort to know more about motor racing than the typical normie casual fan. I respect new Anons that do that.

he has more open-wheel experience than Scott McLaughlin did when he came to IndyCar from Supercars, and Scotty Mac has done alright, except this historically bad Team Penske season.

Playing racecar driver grid while thinking about the Joan mir comeback in 2026

>Playing racecar driver grid
the OG GRID from 2008? based, underrated game.

>>150182434
many such cases

>>150175500
it's a quirk of the history of the sport. originally there were no 'teams' in the F1 sense, every driver owned and built their car themselves. Actual teams like the Kiekhaefer Chryslers of the 50s were very much an exception. Even the big dynasties like Petty Enterprises and Wood Brothers were originally owner-drivers. It wasn't until the 80s where owners who didn't actually race their own machines became the norm, and wasn't until the 00s when multi-car outfits became common. So, even into the 90s, most 'teams' only had one car so a driver and a team were effectively synonymous. For example, Childress' #3 machine was originally Richard Childress' own personal entry. he didn't start hiring a driver to run for him until the 80s, with Dale Sr being the most famous to drive it. and Childress only had that one car until the late 90s when they started to occasionally run the #31 alongside the #3. The proliferation of multi-car teams was spearheaded by the likes of Penske and Hendrick, both of whom were outsiders who jumped over from Indycar and IMSA, respectively.

>>150175500
>a car is sponsored by a recruiting firm specialising in submarine manufacturing. Peak murica
how is that worse than a cryptocurrency sponsor, or an energy drink sponsor, or an AI company sponsor, or a vaping sponsor, or a sports gambling sponsor, or etc.?
race teams take whatever sponsor money they can get. the government(s) banned cigarette sponsors (but somehow still allow vaping) so here we are.

hell, OnlyFans sponsors cars, and there is an actual porn star racing in GTWC Australia, and you're worried about submarine manufacturers sponsoring race teams?

Racers do. Fans do.

But the engine and auto manufacturers who provide the powerplants and sponsorship are fully onboard with the globohomo plan to first eliminate the internal combustion engine, and then do away with personal transportation completely - leaving humans herded into the huge prisons they deceitfully call "walkable cities."

Safety first.

I'm completely clueless about nascar, and only have knowledge of the older V8 Supercar series and holy shit SVG seems to be unbeatable in the road courses over there. The absolute fucking state of >turnleft. Might give it a watch. How many more road courses are there to go?

I get the shitpost but it just shows how much more time hes driven road courses compared to cup drivers when you see where he is when they go back to ovals. Its a great thing for the series though, kinda like when Gordon was dominating those tracks in the 90's it only forces drivers to get better and raises the overall level.

Luckily, they are starting to realize that there are some pretty basic (and easily predictable) logistical issues that make full electrification impossible with current and even foreseeable future. Specifically, there are not enough rare earth elements available and the electrical grid couldn't handle the increased load.
The rest of your statement is pretty spot on.

>>150185997
Why don't NASCAR and IndyCar mix up their schedules instead of having long runs of ovals and long runs of road courses. It would help mitigate these specialists like SVG and Palou going on massive sweeps. Although, it looks like Palou is starting to get the hang of ovals.

>>150186919
it's already missing violet and pink, two of the original colors of the flag before the random generated genders and things started to show up

Even though the rainbow scheme may be more iconic, the flames were more badass and gave more room for scheme variations (such as some Pepsi schemes used by Gordon and schemes that are used until today by Byron on the #24).

"Full electrification" for *everyone alive today* was never their plan.

Their plan was only ever electric vehicles for *them*, and no personal vehicles at all for the useless eaters - but by the time the dumb animals figure that out the petro system will be shutting down and there won't be a damn thing the slaves will be able to do except take one final electric vehicle ride...to prison or the morgue.

Just remember, oil is the second most abundant liquid on earth. It's technically finite, but even at current consumption rates, it won't be a problem for hundreds if not thousands of years. If it really was a problem, there would be all kinds of calls to action about single use plastics, but there are NO brakes on the plastics train.

An essential truth for humanity (for racers, too).

The more nuanced description is governments and corporations - because they're both owned by the same hyperwealthy oligarchy, like cooperating departments of a single larger corporation - *say whatever gets them what the oligarchy wants, regardless of whether those statements are true or false*.

(I say this because there's always some AI pilpul bot that pukes up the trivially legalistic "the bizgov says the sky is blue - therefore everything else you say is wrong.")

p.s. We don't have a problem with the amount of remaining oil, but those of us who don't sacrifice children and worship Mammon *do* have a problem with where the rest of it is. The oil available to us Jed Clampetts is gone. And few of us have the ability to start another Macondo disaster or displace the IsraSaudis from on top of the oil sands.

Jokes aside, those old racing videos are great relics from the past. Motorsports weren't as advanced and safe as they are today, but they were much more authentic. One cool thing that IMSA does is posting old race coverages on their official channel, so check out this 1955 Sebring 12h highlights that I found interesting too.

>>150192414
Unfortunately NASCAR changed the CoT front splitter on 2011. That splitter from 2007-2010 was really cool. It gave the impression that the splitter was held by wires (if it really wasn't).

>>150192477
>Jokes aside
No joke there, fren. That was 100% grass roots racing. Just compare it with this 1955 Indy 500 video or that Sebring video, which is one of my favorites, BTW. Those are high organized, well funded professional racing teams, which is awesome, but that Langhorne video is a bunch of everyman racers just going out there and risking their lives for the thrill of it. It's insanely sovlful in a way the other two can't match.

>>150199507
It's really not that expensive, it's just not dirt cheap either.
These mats don't require much in the way of labor anyway, I'm guessing there's a group of employees that keep the machines full of whatever medium they make the mats out of and another that slaps a sticker on them and puts them on pallets.

Probably they were exactly that, but NASCAR decided that was better to unite all the front splitter into one piece only by 2011, without the turnbuckles, so I don't know if they were useful in that context or not.
Some cars really look better with turnbuckles on the front splitter, I don't think Miata is one of those cases, as far as I looked on internet most of the splitters with them aren't that good looking, but it really depends on the way that you put them.

>>150206745
>Apparently every single fucker under the sun has suddenly decided to get (or show up with) a Porsche here
The 911 has become the normie meme supercar over the last 4-5 years in the way the Veyron was 15 years ago. Everyone wants one now, all the zoomer memes are about getting a GT3RS (which is weird since the GT2RS is far cooler)

>>150207052
>normies latching onto an inferior product
Imagine my shock.

>>150205169
See NASCAR's thought process with the CoT was it would be something like a late stage super touring car in terms of aero styling, which when you go 210mph every 15 seconds rather than 150mph occasionally predicated beefy splitter braces for how long the splitter was.

In reality it had spec car-itis and they made the body blocky as shit so it looked stupid, so particularly once the spoiler replaced the wing and made it look unbalanced they ended up doing away with the splitter cutout just for looks.

>>150207052
>all the zoomer memes are about getting a GT3RS (which is weird since the GT2RS is far cooler)

ITS TIME FOR KEI CAR RACING

https://youtu.be/cTnCYSW9S4Y

>>150213205
Good evening, fren.

Has someone of y'all tried once to buy vintage NASCAR merch online? I'm considering getting one piece of motorsport merch on my birthday, so I guess here would be a cool place to get any tips of where should I buy.

Kalle has been doing too much circuit racing so it took longer than expected for him to adjust back to rallying.

>>150211137
>I hardly even notice these cars
When I go to the city near the one I live it's pretty easy to find them. The exact place where I live is filled with old Mercedes, some BMWs and some Poojoes. One thing that I've always found curious here is that is quite rare to see 'yotas and Hondas around. There are more Miatas around than any Hondas.
>I did see a pretty sick Cayman GT4 like pic related being driven by an very stuffy looking old couple
I've seen some Caymans and they are very sick indeed. Cayenne and Taycan
drivers here are couples on their mid 30s to 40s. The elderly is more used to the Mercedes.

>>150217161
eBay if you're looking for real vintage stuff

>>150217088
shit looks like Homers car

>>150217304
Well, that's the website I've been searching on, but since this is the most popular and it's the one that has guaranteed international shipping, it might be the option for me, but even so, thank you anon. My plan is to get 1 or 2 pieces of RCR/Dale/Dale Jr/Harvick/JRM/the best thing I can look for merch and a Dale diecast. The 1:24s are very expensive, but although there aren't many 1:43s available, there consideraly cheaper than the other ones, and they can fit on my own collection, so it won't take much of space that I have available.
(Those Harvick jackets are too gorgeous but so fucking expensive).

>>150217161
Well, how vintage and what size? It has become kind of popular with hipsters who don't care about racing to wear it ironically, but we have a lot that in thrift stores. I saw a Dale Jr. Mountain Dew hat, but they wanted $7 and I was unemployed, so I passed on it. Otherwise, eBay is your best bet.

>>150217088

>>150217268
>it's pretty easy to find them
I mean, they are so unremarkable I don't notice them. I could go to a grocery store and find any of those cars if I were looking for them.
>Caymans
A dude at work has a regular one and it's pretty great. The GT4 is an extra neat package.

>>150217652
I've tried some times, I quite got it once (I went from 116kg to 97kg), but I'm sedentary so I've gained some weight since then. This problem haunts me literally since my birth. Two weeks ago, I started doing some exercising and walking outside, since there's no gym outside here, so I know it won't be easy to get outside the 100kgs, but I thank you for your advice.
For measurements, I'm 1,87m tall. And sorry frens for derailing the topic a little bit.

>>150217860
That's a viable option for me. There are some tennis courts around here but people rarely appear there to play, and they must already know themselves, and for a guy without experience and physical conditions to play proprely (like me), I don't know if I could fit in (tennis is the sport that I enjoy the most after vrooms, very distantly).
Tomorrow I'll pick up on some biking and see what I can get.

>>150218153
Don't worry, the AMGs are comfy to drive, not as much as Volvos, but they are comfy.

>>150218225

>>150218276
Alright, then I can sleep well tonight

>>150217550
OK, so I went to the place that had the Dale Jr. hat and unfortunately it wasn't there, but that was a long time ago. I did find this fleace pullover, but it's an Large and it isn't vintage, just proof that you can find NASCAR stuff pretty easily. I will try another store tomorrow. I am sure we can find you something eventually. I got a dumb, generic """racing" tie I will post in a second.

>>150217550
Oh, and you don't have to make excuses about your size with me, mate. I'm no toothpick myself.

>>150217579
I don't follow rallying very closely, but I know enough that I'd rather have Hyundai in WRC than another LMDh car. It they were going to have the balls to build an LMH car, I might have a different opinion, but that's not where we are.

>>150217642
>>150217836
Yeah, that was weird, but pretty cool.

>>150217820
>walking outside
This is very good and quite easy. I listen to racing podcasts and audio books (all of which can be downloaded if you don't have unlimited data) and that makes me even forget I'm exercising. I also don't let myself listen to those things unless I am walking. That way, I am motivated to go out and do it. But again, you don't have to justify it with me. I just want all the frens to be healthy and happy.

I suposed thrift stores would be a good place to look for some old NASCAR merch, or just NASCAR merch in general. Maybe if go to the US I can go to one of those. The only motorsport related clothing I've been using until now is a 2022 Red Bull Racing shirt, and that one is kinda worn out (the Puma logo is tearing itself off).

>>150218920
>>150218928
This track is shaped weird.

>>150219051
The straightaways are banked and have a slight curve to them.
There is no outside wall on the backstretch.
I liked watching SRX race there.

>>150211968
is it time to switch to WSBK?

>>150219050
If you come tonthe US, I am not sure that would be the best use of your time unless you stay for a while. Unfortunately, thrift store stuff often has imperfections. If you look closely at that pullover, the letter F is a bit messed up.
>>150219075
>There is no outside wall on the backstretch.
Oh, yeah, that's wild. I remember seeing cars go off back there.
>I liked watching SRX
Yeah, it was a bit stacked for Tony, but ot was still a cool series.

>Brad Keselowski won this race

What did Larry Mac mean by this?

That place is absolutely packed for a Wednesday night.

This super late models race is pretty great

>>150219116
I think what they're allowing is actually what people typically call slide control which WSBK and every other production 1000 racing besides BSB already has.

Nice save but Hocevar's tires are fucked

HIGE save by Hocivar!!

>>150219727
Lucky for him, he just had to run 10 or 12 laps on them.

Damn it. I have to go to sleep, now. If anyone sees how this race at Berlin ends, please screen cap the results.

>driving out of the track and sending huge tires in front of traffic
kek

The Roval because Charlotte sucked at the time was the wrong choice, cutting back on great road courses because this car sucks and SVG dominates would also be a wrong choice. Kill the roval, have a rotating street course, and keep the rest. It's a bunch of ppl w/their panties in a bunch cuz SVG is whipping our asses. The only way to level the playing field is for them to keep racing him on that discipline.

Toyota scurred

There's never been a driver in the history of NASCAR who was better at one style of track than SVG is now. The old days had great drivers obv, but it was their superior car that let them dominate. SVG is beating everyone's ass on road courses when everyone is essentially driving the same car. It's stupid in a good way.

>>150221209
wrong

This is the 6th of 6 straight road course wins

>>150221252
difference is Gordon was good regardless of track. SVG is a 60s style ringer.
not that I have a problem with him winning, the issue is just how many road courses NASCAR has now.

>>150221144
Sears, Glen, Sebring, and Road Atlanta would be the premier road course lineup. they don't need anything else.

>>150221252
I believe this is as close as there is to SVG in regards to one driver's dominance at one style of track. But that era still had massive differences in cars. The 24 unloaded faster than nearly everyone in the field. The difference between good and bad cars was massive. Not the case anymore, all these cars are within tenths over a 74 second lap. The minimal movement from the rest of the field makes what he is doing even more impressive. The only other car that could pass ppl on equal strats was Bell.

>>150221313
>difference is Gordon was good regardless of track
I'm not saying that SVG is as good as Gordon, I'm only arguing the dominance at a particular style of track. Gordon at road courses and both Earnhardts at super speedways are the only comparisons imo.

no indycar this week
it's actually a slow weekend in general

>>150221313
wasnt gordon on a good team back then? surely it plays in svgs favour about winning with a 5yo team

have any of you guys watched that soapbox racing series on trutv? i found it one day tuning into nascar. dale jr is the announcer and it's fun as hell.

>>150221426
Hendrick were a bit of a nobody team when he joined them. Their legacy was built on Gordon, and it was because of Gordon's involvement they got Johnson (Gordon managed him and partially owned the #48 team).

>>150221333
This is always bullshit, NASCAR was at its most competitive when there was enough sponsorship to have 50 cars try to qualify for a race, not when there's 40 starting spots and only 35 even bother to show up because they have a contract. In the race in question the pole was a 1:10.652, the slowest qualifying time was a 1:13.285, and a 1:12.576 missed the field with the 36th place qualifier at 1:12.486, a 1.834s difference. This year the pole was 1:14.594 and Cody Ware in 36th was on 1:17.478. Heck ignore him and Gilliland did a competitive with the cars immediately in front of him 35th place time of 1:16.732, still 2.138 seconds off pole (a gap 41 cars were within in 2000). I looked at this years ago during the absolute dogshit tapered spacer gen 6 racing when people would say total lies like "but it's more competitive so it's harder to pass" and the difference was even worse.

Obviously things get tighter towards the top but the gaps within the top 10 or 20 are still within the same range as they were when you weren't even conceived yet.

Damn, a Kevin Lee cameo

>>150221988

>decide to check out SBK22

>only has the WSBK calendar

>>150221473
>Hendrick were a bit of a nobody team when he joined them.
I wouldn't exactly call the team that had come 2nd in points the previous year a "nobody" team.

>>150222640
mostly because they were one of the first multicar teams which allowed them to statpad. in 1991, only one other team had a second car.

>>150221473
>Hendrick were a bit of a nobody team when he joined them
I agree Gordon took HMS to another level as obviously proven by the wins and championships, but that description discredits how good they already were before he arrived. 31 team wins from 1984-1992, Bodine, Waltrip and Richmond won many races and were dangerous championship contenders.

>>150222840
That's not how owner's points in NASCAR have ever worked. It would be more accurate to call them car points, because the 5 car got second in owner's points with Ricky Rudd getting second in driver's points as well.

>>150222876
my point was they could work together as a team in a way most other drivers didn't have the luxury of. Dale and Elliott were on their own, Hendrick could instruct his boys to tandem their way through the field. They pretty much defined how a modern NASCAR team runs.

>>150222863
because they had 2-3 cars when nearly every other team had 1. 10~ wins for each driver over a period of 8 years isn't a particularly noteworthy accomplishment. upper midfield-tier, tickling top 5. About on the level of DEI in 2001-2004.

>>150222945
Good point, but they were not a "nobody team". HMS was one of the hottest teams to be in NASCAR entering 1987. Why do you think DW Junior Johnson after his 6 years of domination to join them? He doesn't make that move unless he thought they could win a championship.

>>150223039
Tim Richmond made them look good, because he was that good. Tony Stewart left JGR for his own half team, and had basically no change in fortune. JGR has had more success post-Stewart than Tony did after leaving JGR.

>>150223039
looking at the stats more, they had pretty much identical levels of success as Evernham, that's a more accurate comparison than DEI.
a team that sometimes gets wins, generally runs in the front half of the field, and has some hype, but is mostly just 'there'.:

>>150223054
>>150223062
HMS had 18 wins post-Richmond to 1992, and DW accounted for the most. even Ken-Fucking-Schrader even got 4 wins in their cars and became a household name. I still stand by that "nobody team" is a ludicrous statement.

>>150223103
and I stand by my statement that roughly two wins a year for each driver is not a world-shaking performance.

>>150223111
It sure was enough to become a top 3 recognized team in NASCAR. Were you alive then?

>>150221420
>biggest event on Sunday is the ARCA race

Kenny Rogers and Rick Hendrick were going to buy out Petty Enterprises in late 1987 and have Bodine/Waltrip/Richard/Kyle as a lineup of 4.
Rogers backed out and Hendrick hired Schrader instead. Rogers quit sponsoring Hendrick cars afterwards, too, so it might've been a personal disagreement.

>>150217579
hyundai is actively lobbying to have hybrid earlier than 2029 in rally1 and so far it seems they try to act like this is what their participation depends on.
So their entry is either just a bargaining chip in this political game or they might pull out for 2 years, run a private team with a grandfathered rally1 for 2 seasons and reenter as a factory entry from 2029.
We've seen things like that, but only citroen was successfull with it

>>150223129
yeah, because they brought on Jeff Gordon who was like "Real Life Cole Trickle" (despite him being based on Richmond) which brought in legions of nontraditional fans and the fact Gordon was fast as hell, which pushed them up to consistent frontrunners alongside RCR Roush and Penske.
were YOU alive then?

Hnnnng.

You keep deflecting and insinuating that their success and notoriety before Gordon joined wasn't that big. I was watching races wearing airbrushed tide shirts and saw theirascension to prominence with my own two eyes before your parents met. Yourbullshit doesn't work on me.

The acid losens up the oil so the subsequent wash is slightly more effective, then the red color of the juice makes any areas that have not been thoroughly washed quite obvious.

A mix of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap is more effective at removing the smell.

I heard them say that, but if they all make two stops under caution, it's a bit of a wash. Does it come into play in races with few caution? I have never seen a clean modifieds race.

>>150231574
They don't all make two stops every time and this was a race with few cautions until now.

That was a weird, but really good race. This series punches well above it's weight and I'm so glad to be able to watch ot more frequently.

I've played the Ride games. I was kinda looking for the career/team focus of Milestone's licensed games. Generations is cool but the physics aren't as good and the team building focus isn't there.
I was hoping they'd make it like an AC Competizione of bike games.

Yeah Hirschman, Beers, Bonsignore, Emerling, and Preece all riding around together for so many laps while the younger Catalano drove the fuck away was something I'd certainly never seen before.

>Stewart Friesen not persuing a playoff waiver
I guess he'll be missing the first race or two of the playoffs.

>>150232799
He ain't driving again this season

>>150232799
I thought Friesen would apply for one to get the "meager" $7,000 bonus but there may have been some behind the scenes negotiation to avoid a PR snafu between him and NASCAR.

>>150233491
If Friesen took the waiver, then the driver they hired for the chaseoffs could be knocked out of the drivers chaseoffs by a new winner.

Good move making the stability thing change right now, i dont like it but at least its done and next race is gonna have a if factor from the change

>They now reside in North Carolina, where it actually remains technically illegal for a couple to live together unmarried.
wot

>>150238253
that was an unenforced law on the books, repealed almost 20 years ago

>>150236401
Most accurate filename.

>>150238427
Then why are they using that as a reason to get married now, over a year and a half since moving to the US?

>>150239219
They weren't, the author of the article put that in.
>as foreigners in the US, it adds a layer of security in terms of immigration law and owning property

>>150239313
That's quoting Dane.
