Booooo . . .Just turned it on...looking forward to the season, despite NASCAR's best attempts to ruin the racing. They started by allowing the Liar in Chief to speak and take a lap in one his presidential vehicles. I understand why they had to, to appease the redneck NASCAR base, but it ruined the beginning of the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The cheesy intros, a pace lap by the A-hole in Chief, and weather delays. This will end up a Monday race. An ominous start to the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Just turned it on to watch the finish. It's still in stage one. Back to the Bruins. Once upon a time I'd watch all of qualifying, both duels, all the pre-race morning shows, every lap of the race and thepost race show. And then the Monday wrap up show. I knew all 43 drivers and their race teams. Those days are long gone. Holy crap. Just realized I'm watching last year's 500.

Cygnus 2112 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 What a disappointing day this was. Up at 10 am to watch the race, then stuck around til 3 PM to find out it's gonna be tomorrow. At 1PM when I've got a hockey game at 1:30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just tuned in for the potential green/white/checkered and noticed there isn't a Busch listed in the top 20. Sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I'm sick to my stomach... its like being pulled right back to 2001. Hoping for the unlikely best for Newman. Something needs to change with Daytona and Talladega. This style of racing is unacceptable. I don't care if the answer is to plow these stupid tracks into the ground. Restrictor plate racing needs to end. Edited February 18, 2020 by KenJennings 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I've been watching for many decades like some of you and I've never seen a wreck like Newman endured. Bent the roll cage on the drivers side window when he was hit upside down. Not good at all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The coverage of the winner, in my opinion, takes a backseat to the well being of a fellow driver. At that moment who gives a rats ass who won... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they left off, they simply said pulled from the car and taken to a local hospital. No talk of movement or any other positive signs. It's going to be bad.
