Today's racing: 500 laps on a .533 mile paved track (266.5 miles) Speeds: Approaching 130 mph in the straights and down to the 80's in the corners
Bristol is a short track that requires exceptional patience, rhythm, and timing to be successful. Drivers will need to apply the power and brake smoothly at least twice a lap for consistent times, and with 500 laps, that means the boys are going to be jamming on the brake pedal 1000 fucking times today to get around the track. Brake temps are going to be an issue and we WILL see tires detonating due to exposure to excessive brake heat.

Bump and fucking going to see KFC Chicken and Waffles commercial all day. I might go get some this week. Is it like the McRib of KFC? Also coke orange vanilla
>It's a "Blaney is fast early and loses it midway" race
Adam Martinez
Ah yeah looks like you're right
Asher Reyes
>Nascar has announced that this year's Bristol night race will have 5 lap stages in order to ensure the highest level of competition
Brayden Martinez
yup, Bristol has never tried to lower ticket prices, the track is sort of in the middle of nowhere so there's few hotel options and they all price gouge to infinity After Bruton ruined the track people can be bothered to fucking deal with that shit Bristol used to sell out 2 years in advance

I'll say this. Everyone has to play by the rulebook but you can't say some of these ticky tacky calls this year and not just for Larson haven't been trash.
>13 car wins a stage What universe did I end up in

Didn't see that coming

What the fuck even is this race
Joseph Johnson
best race of the year so far
Andrew Perez
This has been awesome
John Roberts
this is great but waaaaah where's muh old bristol
Jose Jackson
agree
Brayden Peterson
yeah I’m not complaining so sick of the cookie cutter tracks of the past few weeks
Julian Thomas
honestly as much as we still bitch and moan about what Bruton did, the past 2 or 3 races here have been good again and today is no different
Wyatt Stewart
I-I-is the new package working?
Brayden Green
They should build a replica of old Bristol somewhere else and give us 4 Bristol races a year
Nolan Parker
Yup. Helps if if you didn't watch racing before then because you were a kid who thought it was boring though
Gabriel Russell
The new package is 100% shit, but they're not running it here.
Christopher Cook

This race would be greater if Larson was still in it

DiRedditdetto is going to have himself another career day at Bristol it seems

Hey what is it like being at the track? Is it cool? What is Daytona like or Taladega? Anyone been to Indy500?
Jeremiah Nelson
>22-2-19-18 in the top 4 >race instantly goes from fun to meh mmmmm
Jackson Lopez
I've been to daytona, it's quieter than other races because 75% of the lap all the cars are 1/2 mile away
Nathaniel Moore
somebody put that piece of shit 2 car in the wall please
Jose Evans
HAAS HAAS HAAS!!!!
Brody Williams
Race weekends are a fun time no matter which track. The only way to really appreciate what the sport is about is to go to a race in person.
>Daytona and Talladega the field goes by and you can't hear anything, then you have 50 seconds of quiet to talk with your buddies and grab a beer, then the field goes by and you can't hear anything, rinse repeat everywhere else the field spreads out and it becomes a constant drone of cars going by one at a time, that sound will almost hypnotize you and put you to sleep

Richard Petty would bootyblast all of these shit drivers
Jonathan Reyes
Why don't they use a real cutaway car anymore
Juan Evans
gotta say thats pretty based user
Ethan Martinez
you make is sound really cool nice reply
Parker Butler
Petty raced against gas station attendants. He couldn't beat guys running street stocks at your local track if he was racing today.
Dylan Gonzalez
DW looked like he was about to tear up
Zachary Ross
I'll actually be sad when mike joy retires
Landon Lopez
>keselowski
Carter Long
You shut your whore mouth
David Martinez
Went to Charlotte last year, Martinsville this year. It's a fucking blast quality of racing doesn't matter. You can bring in a cooler of beer which is hella dope and under no circumstances should you enter without ear protection
Jaxson Bailey
>mikey in the cup booth is possible
Logan Davis
He was still relevant in the late 70s early 80s when Earnhardt and Waltrip were on the scene
Nathaniel Turner
How long before they remove stands at bristol?
Cameron Wood
$$$, same reason there's no Hollywood hotel anymore and they use a virtual green screen studio for the pre-race stuff. I won't be surprised if in the near future they start calling more races from a studio like they do with IMSA and some of the truck races.
Charles Garcia
Pls no
Tyler Wright
So who's going to replace DW? FOX doesn't have anyone in the pipeline, all they use are current drivers along with their play by play guys, and Alexander/Welch aren't very good.
Do they even need a third guy in the booth? I know NBC has like fifteen fucking announcers for their races and it's overkill.
Kayden Cox
Kenny Wallace pls
Jose Kelly
Micheal waltrip
Levi Flores
If Larry Mac can't travel, probably Regan Smith till Harvick retires from cup and takes the spot.
Jayden Martinez
Next year or two I expect them to just run with Gordon/Joy and then over the next three or four years add Harvick and replace Joy with someone like Keselowski.
>Do they even need a third guy in the booth? Nah, but wtf do (((broadcasters))) know about racing anyway? Today's (((broadcasting))) is all about trying to capture the urbanite shekel, which is why their coverage looks more like "The View" than race coverage.
Caleb Jackson
Bootie Barker should be in the booth
Jaxson Cook
Unironically Spencer Gallagher
Ayden Kelly
He's been decent on the xfinity broadcasts. Was really good paired with Clint yesterday.
>you can do it denny >lets get it in there >just like that denny >slide it in nice and easy >ahhh yessss denny >dont stop dont stop >grease my gears denny >oh yeah fuck yeah >here cums the oil leak denny
Larry is an extremely nice person so i doubt it. he shouldnt be paired with this bimbo out of sheer respect.
James Gutierrez
was at the Phoenix race he one in ‘17. everyone in the crowd was pretty pumped on it.
Hudson Brown
>shouldnt be paired with this bimbo out of sheer respect. Exactly.
Makes me sick to see badass drivers and crew chiefs have to cater to some attention whoring bitch that's done nothing but wear makeup and suck cock. They have no place in racing.
Cooper Williams
most talented engineer Roush has hired in the last 10 years it seems
Elijah Davis
NASCAR's stupid "crash clock" bullshit at work. Almirola never made minimum speed under green after the accident so going behind the wall ended his day automatically, Stenhouse did so he gets as long as he needs to fix his shit.
Matthew Jackson
For me, it’s Bristol Motor Speedway’s Moonpie Burger.
Two smokey, savory ground chuck beef burgers topped with candied Smithfield bacon, caramelized onions, and crunchy dill pickle slices, all supported on top and bottom with delicious chocolatey, marshmallowly, graham crackery MoonPie “buns”.
Just $6, available at gate 15 behind the Allison Grandstand.
are those really the rules? almirola never had the chance to run a green flag lap because the caution was out. and yes ricky did, but his hood came up because his team sent him out with an unfixed car, which is dangerous. how is what almirola did worse??
Realistically, Bristol is probably only 1/3 full right now
Dylan Long
All sports have changed, they are all TV sports now
Jordan Martin
If Almirola stayed on pit road and got his repairs, he would have been fine. Can't go to the garage immediately after a wreck without running a lap at minimum speed.
Jace Robinson
penskewinslol
Jackson Johnson
Almirola is a whiny bitch, so I'm fine with it.
Sebastian Peterson
6 bucks. they want us to be fat
Evan Bell
underrated
Benjamin Williams
Is there any reason to root for Truex anymore now that he's not with FRR and his gf isn't front and center? He's just getting whinier by the week.
Carter Ward
Wut de fuk
Nathaniel Flores
>americans
Jonathan Gutierrez
He can wreck Logano one day like Kenseth did.
Aaron Gray
2017 and before, he was worth rooting for. Now he has become a whinier bitch than the typical menopause stricken housewife
Joseph Ross
who /ragsinabox/ here
Jonathan Richardson
>$6 it's a fake concession post. something like that would be $12 and offered at Texas Motor Speedway
Grayson Edwards
>seething furriner using a proxy because they'd get mocked out of the thread otherwise
It sucks that the attendance is so bad today. If I was in Tennessee I'd definitely be there. It's been a pretty good race so far, nice to see the different grooves being used.
Jace Green
Here comes the KWL on schedule
Asher Murphy
hell yea kb

Noah Garcia
What drivers do you think make great power bottoms?
Here's this kid, worked his butt off his entire life, and can't get himself on a winning team like Hendricks.
Such a fucking shame because Gordon, Elliot, and Johnson only got themselves into racing because of daddy's money while Menard had to work his way up and still gets the short end of the stick.
fucking hell why did it have to be Kyle. what the fuck penske
Ryder Collins
>In the wall >Place second Yeah I'm thinking the old 42 team is on the 1 now

William Jackson
Might as well just switch to F1 or something if there's only gonna be 2 competitive teams.
James Ortiz
Beard Kyle is best kyle
John Parker
did gen 4 cars cut tires that easy when touching
Isaac Flores
Damn, Kurt would have saved Nascar and spun Kyle for the win.
Damn it.
Liam Jenkins
No. They need to put a strip of rubber around the whole bottom edge of the car.
Landon Scott
RATE THIS RACE 1-10
Julian Brown
Yes, because they had a jagged fender pulled out like a foot.
Julian Moore
strong 7 light 8
Owen Rogers

Yeah but they don't drive a truck axle car with a Camry body around a concrete bowl for 4 hours at least, the simple cars and tracks are supposed to have the payoff of more open competition.
