2024 Nascar Big 3

[Adam43]

An entire nation goes mad.

And I’m going to start a small business so I can get some small business insurance from AmTrust.

I'd forgotten the start cause I forget race coverage starts 3 days before the actual race start. Thankfully it was recording so think I'm about 30 min behind but commercials will help

[Adam43]

You'll be with us in no time!

Pits open after Stage 1 - it is needed.

[Adam43]

Some great pit exit action there.

[broadrun96]

Apparently corners are skinnier with contact rotation, so far no insanity but some point that's gonna go wrong and make mess

[broadrun96]

So far I've noticed the Cup 'regulars' take the Clarkson MB approach to an apex. I could fight comfortably on the track between the apex and Gibbs most laps, SVG well not so much

That and the new Mustang front wings are GROSS on a white car.

And the wet tires drivers need to be parked, absolutely a joke at the end of S1, go park it if you think you need rains

[broadrun96]

First caution the flag was waving either green or blue right in front of the car instead of a yellow?? My TV skipped from caution to S1 final lap and damn it got dark quick there. And dear God can anyone look out a window or have a spotter any where, that was terrible at pit out

[skycafe]

That's the way you do it!

Briscoe coming in HOT through the mist

SVG done, didn't see Briscoe hit him even though they're saying he was

Edit, he DID NOT hit SVG at all


He didn't get hit at all, got caught up in water, you could hear it spin up and straight to the wall. Problem with being closer to the corner, you aren't in the others path

They are insistent in the contact aren't they. Backed out up multiple times and you can see between the cars. It happens and guess now that the rain driver is out let's red flag it

Yeah it was blue. Comedy. Fortunately the car was more visible that the flag.

I didn’t think they hit each other. But they kept saying it.

And just saw the highlights. Looks like Larson hung well with him.

If you can, watch a replay. He managed tires, brakes, the race. MasterClass.

I clicked in, an expose of fruit.

Excited!

[Adam43]

Juicy.

[broadrun96]

Did they get back to racing? No rain but oh, God is angry at Georgia. And VERY angry at Road Atlanta, the dot on the map

His happened again when Larson spannered it under braking. Is it a NASCAR thing. That it is blue unless it is a full course yellow? Obviously this isn’t a thing on ovals so maybe they just made something new up for road and street courses?

I’m making this up. I could research, but I rather just make up stuff and ask if it is right.

[broadrun96]

I hadn't noticed before, there isn't a blue flag move over reg I don't believe. But I think they did add local yellow flag option with the expansion of road courses. But GARRA did have a moist track flag so who knows what the flag standard and road race rules are

[broadrun96]

I say this as an avowed let them sort it on the track within reason but this nonsense in Nascar is too far

As much for safety as guys have to fix that and it sure as hell will not be Bubba getting out the tools
