The forecasts are now showing the heavy rain in Charlotte to start afternoon Saturday through Sunday morning/early afternoon. So a little worse for Saturday but better chance for Sunday. Still TBD if any changes to the weekend schedule.


Could play a huge role. I think if they end up starting off the metric Denny is around 12th or so and Bell is 17th or 18th. Larson would obviously be on pole.

Plus Denny went into detail on his pod that he wants hot and slick conditions, thinks it favors Toyota. If the race ends up pushed back to late Sunday it should be a cooler track.

I hate Fox 8. Don’t show the truck race. But cover a hurricane that’s not gonna make landfall in LA. And spend a lot of time talking about a football coach who was hated while he was here.

I’m not even shocked Fox 8 said frick nascar. Not the first time they’ve done it.

A little thread hijack.
Bathurst 1000 this weekend in Aussie supercars.
Mount Panorama is a nasty track.

The Charlotte weather on my weather app shows 75% or more chance of rain starting at 6 am until after dark. Who knows? All track activities could be canceled tomorrow worst case scenario.

Follow the series. Bathurst might be the most difficult track on the planet. There’s no place to hide

Count your blessings you did not miss anything. And Jamie is back in truck booth and its just flat horrible. Harvick adds great commentary but with her the telecast is disjointed and lacking any energy. So far no cautions except the fake stage breaks. But Jamie sucks any energy out of telecast

I just wish I could watch it here. All the subscriptions make it hard to sign up for more. It was on speed sport 1 for free two years ago. Then Racer network got it and wants $20 a month to watch. frick that.

And truck race finally had a caution. Hamlin will be pissed. Scraped wall but kept it straight and moving and they needed a restart to create fake drama so threw yellow.

And was so bad Jamie said she didn’t know why caitiob was thrown. Then Harvick said it was 52 truck and pimped Nascar saying it was surely needed. I wonder how much bonus “swig” money the booth gets when they cover for Nascar?

And a 2nd caution that wasn’t needed. So it stacks field up and guess what - caused an actual big wreck.

This was a manufactured wreck caused by cautions not needed. Now a bunch of trucks are wrecked.

Carruth was who wrecked field. Missed a shift or simething and stacked em up and poof, Nascar got their actual wreck.

And Jamie talks like a death happened.

And now a red flag.

Race was on its way to be done and a snoozer. But fake caution flags created a red flag inducing wreck. Well done Nascar

And holy shite Dye wrecks on frontstretch doing 360’s and came to a stop and no fricking yellow lol. Finally gets it going.

You cannot make this shite up. Nascar is so fake and obvious. 2 not needed yellows. Causes red flag. Then the telecast runs late so they say frick it, we won’t throw flag unless you are about dead.

Clown show

Missed the race today, but it sounds like I didn’t miss anything.

Snoozer with fake created late drama. Booth sucked with Jamie back. Didn’t miss much.

They shoulda kept this as roval. At least that had action.

What’s the deal with Jamie? She’ll do one race and then be absent for the next one.

Couple of musings this morning from the week's discussions.

Neither deserves the 48 car. Berry would have been a home run in HMS equipment. Truth on Ford fricking up the Jeff Gordon thing. I remember how pissed I was when that happened.

Tony Stewart is still the only one with nuts enough to say the quiet part out loud. EVERYTHING he said on that pod is 100% truth.

Donnelly appears to really want to do the right thing. Lets see if he really listens to the drivers for a change.

Saw on X this week that Mark Martin's pet peeve (the shifting of the number on the door) is something the OWNERS pushed for, not NASCAR.

Glad to see Kasey back in the sport. He was a good dude. I'd like to see more Cup level guys move to the lower series after their Cup days are over. I understand Kayne has some health issues that would prevent him driving Cup full time.

I NEVER liked the Roval. Hope it never comes back.

Unfortunately, stages are NEVER going away.

Brexton performing a burnout and then the iconic bow. Pretty neat.
