Another epic race weekend

[lasttombstone]

Why they can't spread out their races a little bit, I don't know. I know everyone wants to take advantage of a holiday weekend to draw more fans but sheeesh.

Formula 1 at Silverstone, NASCAR Cup and Xfinity at Road America (first time for the cup cars I believe), Indy Car at Mid Ohio, and Weathertech at Mosport and SRX at Stafford. Plus replays of IMSA Lamborgini and Pilot Challenge from Watkins Glen.

Right....... I forgot. Guess I watch too many different races. LOL.
Watching Xfinity practice/qualfying now and noticed a couple of things. First, Riley Herbst is sponsored by Henry Repeating Arms this weekend. Front and back of his driver suit is big Henry logo and the crew are all wearing Henry shirts. Really looks good. Henry has been a corporate sponsor of the track for years.
Secondly, Allmendinger has had some brake problems and won't get to qualify. Gotta come from the back again.

I knew it was today but knew he would be wrapped up with everything so I haven't bothered him. Tell the happy couple I said congratulations and I'll see them if they ever get back.

WTH Happened to the FIRECRACKER 400?

Nascar canceled it. The next race at Daytona will be on the Daytona road course.
Tomorrows race is in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin at Road America.
Qualifying now on ch. 105(dish).... The USA network.

Ok. Watched the Xfinity race at Road America. Entertaining.
They should have parked the 9 (Noah Gragson) for causing that 13 car pileup tgat could've really hurt a couple people.

I'd like to see side by side telemetry on the 17 and 54 on that last lap. Looked like Larson was holding back.

 

[lasttombstone]

Gragson needs to grow up. Either he will or he won't last too long . if he tried something like that in the cup the big hammer would fall. It will be interesting to see if there is any penalty as a result of this. Guess we will know Tuesday.

 

[Hunting Nut]

He needs a haircut too.
And needs to understand what road racing is. What he said post race was total BS.
Just think if he tried that mess back in the day with Big E, DW, Tim Richmond, Cale, Donnie, or Bobby ???

 

[MtnMan]

Donny and Bobby would have beat him with a helmet .

Gragson was fined 35 grand for being an idiot . Lost driver points too . Wonder why the owner didn’t lose any points ?

 

[lasttombstone]

What I read said Gragson lost 30 drivers points and JR Motorsports lost 30 owners points.

They should'a parked him and put him on probation for idiotic driving.
