I'll be highly surprised if we don't have an overtime in this race.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Tough break for Chase.

 

[Crew]

Nice way to start the season for SHR.

:censored: McMurray! :bad:

"Member when Jamie Mac was considered a good RP racer"

"Yeah I member."

He should have a buffet line of people waiting for him in the garage.

 

[gordonr24]

McMurray has become borderline crazy on the plate tracks.

 

[doozer]

Kurt Busch, finally!

 

[YankeeVol]

Glad to see Kurt get the win

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Glad you guys enjoyed it. This is the first Daytona 500 I've missed in over a quarter century.

 

[doozer]

I believe with that win, he not only drove into Dayton Victory Lane, but also into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

 

[Burhead]

Happy most for Smoke. If you can't win it as a driver I guess the next best thing is winning the 500 as a car owner.

 

[Crew]

I like the new format, so far. They could cut down the caution laps between segments though

And not count them toward the race total.

I think I jinxed Kyle. My first race watching as him being my fav driver.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Looks like Las Vegas might get a 2nd cup race

Las Vegas close to landing second top-tier NASCAR race | Las Vegas Review-Journal

"Las Vegas is close to getting a second top-tier NASCAR race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway beginning in 2018. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors scheduled a special meeting Wednesday to consider a seven-year $2.5 million annual sponsorship agreement with NASCAR that would include the addition of a fall race at the speedway. Since 1998, NASCAR has had a Las Vegas race, usually in March. This year’s race, the Kobalt 400, a part of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup race series, is March 12. While key figures aren’t talking specifics, the proposed contract that will be put to the 14-member board’s vote Wednesday provides some detail. The sponsorship and marketing agreement would dedicate $1 million per race, plus $500,000 a year to market both the spring and fall races, beginning Jan. 1 for seven years with an option for three additional years. The contract would be for “two NASCAR first-tier (currently Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series) sanctioned races at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway every year during the term of this agreement.”

May be another wreck fest this weekend. They were chasing it all day in practice and during qualifying.

 

[gordonr24]

I know it's early but I love seeing Stenhouse near the front. This Atlanta package really favors his driving style.

 

[Crew]

...now this is more like it.

He chose a bad time to make a mistake.

He's had issues in the pits for a while, whether it be driver mistakes or the crew and it always seems to happen in the latter portion of the race. New rules or not, that one was on Harvick.

Kyle did a terrible job at beating up Logano.

Shouldn't have gone in there by himself. It was him on at least 6.
