Would love to see 888 run a team in NASCAR…

Wish the camera was forward facing but oh well... 2 min video of 18th to first.
https://twitter.com/NASCAR/status/1676292457531580417 I don't see that being too far fetched, with how close the cars are these days... |

It did seem that he was having much trouble with the turns.

They're racing around the streets of Townsville in North Queensland this weekend. Fair to say everyone wishes him well & IF he gets the chance in Nascar, both New Zealand & Australia will be wishing him well. Remember Team Penske already have an identical twin in motor racing pedigree, doing Indycars Scott McLaughlin. |

NASCAR thinks it's a good idea to race in Georgia in July. I think they got a little lucky on temps. Hope they can get through it before the storms roll through, which they should. I'll try to watch for a minute, maybe....

Okay, so the broadcast played audio from Kyle B, with crewchief saying that weather is within an hour or an hour and a half and NBC cooking up everyone is going to be pushing to get up front...
When I looked earlier, storms weren't passing through the area until late evening, near midnight. Just checked again and I stand by my previous statement. I'm not meteorologist, but it appears NBC is cooking up some bogus drama because this race isn't cooking up shyte! |

Still pushing the weather...I guess they'd call it for lightning and fan safety but future radar showing 1130 PM EST...

I guess I'll eat crow. The storm was moving quicker than the forecast indicated. Still looks like it's a little ways away, but lightning is coming with it....

Any of you guys thinking Stewart Haas is gonna sink like a stone with Harvick and Busch gone at year end?
In my mind they are weak on driver talent, to my mind Harvick is still the best of their drivers by a mile. Penskes Fords mostly always have better pace and RFK is showing genuine speed too - with a little luck and some hard work I can see 6 and 17 as top 10 week in week out. |

As we're lacking action thought you might like to see a few old timers gently pootling up Goodwood hill climb on a very soggy Saturday!

Well I genuinely know very little about NASCAR prior to the late 90's / early 00's but I did do a double take when they called the Skoal car Bill Elliotts. Only number I associate with Bill E is the 9 car!
They also called an off into the straw for an early Adrian Newey F1 car "a car problem". The car problem was the pilot steering too sharp whilst braking and losing the cold rear tyres grip on the track. Nice to see and hear the cars though |

I don't know why Logano losing his cool makes me chuckle, but it just does. Don't think your momma would like the language! |

Supercars loss, NASCARs gain.
Now are the guys running NASCAR smart enough to make the TV widely available to Aussies and Kiwis who will watch their man given half a chance? |

It's not a matter of smart enough from NASCAR. It doesn't seem like TV partners want to reach for sports that aren't classic Aussie events, the World Cup is apparently hard to find in the host country. And they ain't gonna throw it to streaming, I'm sure someone somewhere has a preemptive deal that would block it sadly
