Still a bunch of competitive cars. Hell, the winning car was patched up.

I hate that pack racing bs but there was a bunch of fun racing at the front. A lot of sliders.

Definitely some close racing all day. Couple not so smart moves but that’s easy to say sitting back with a cocktail in your hand.

Different kind of pack racing though. Unlike Daytona. Seems much more competitive than hanging on / or just riding for laps waiting for the big one. 🤷

Yeah 1000% better than the race a week ago.

Still can't believe they open the season with two "plate tracks"

I still say. Get rid of the plates. How big are balls. 225-230 mph. lol. I’m kidding of course because that’s just a death race imho.

It just doesn't sit well that they make less hrsprs than some production cars. Stop shaping em' like airplanes and let er' rip. 🤣

So off topic. A bit.
Did you see Kyle B’s post race win interview after the truck race. ?

I did not.
Let’s just say. I know how he meant the part I saw. But was and am kind shocked ( with today’s way of things). It hasn’t had more news on at least the nascar stuff.

That said. I did not take it bad and I know how meant it to come out. But


I’m also a converted back to kind of a rowdy fan these days. 🤷

Thanked all his fans obviously. Love the turn out.
And I am paraphrasing here. Glad to see all the blacks in the crowd.

Ahhh, the interview on the front stretch. He said black and yellow. He was referring to the color of the merch. Rowdy nation and all.

Aw. Got it. My bad. I know he didn’t mean it the way it kind of came off. Or the portion I saw. 👍👍

I saw the victory lane interview and didn't see anything there.. so figured you were talking about some sort of media center press conference deal. He definitely wasn't referencing the complexion of the audience. 😆

The sheer amount of cars that were damaged yet still remained competitive reminds me of why NASCAR is still the best sport on four wheels.

NASCAR is still my favorite 4-wheeled left turn form of motorsports, but I've fallen in love with sprint cars mainly the wingless. Perris Auto Speedway last night:

You can usually catch repeats if you missed it on Fox Sports 1, usually middle of the night. If you can DVR it you’ll get most of it. (They do skip over red flag delays, cut some of the accident replays etc to get it to fit in their replay window, but the green flag racing is usually all there. )

Currently slated to go to the Phoenix race on 3/10. Been about 15 years since I've been to a race. Any tips or things I need to know would be welcomed. Never seen a race at PHX, so not sure of all the ins and outs.

I think going back to chariot racing might be more exciting. Not sure the drivers would approve.

Arrive early, traffic on race day can be bad, wear sunblock, pre game a few beers in the parking lot will save you some money. Fly by this year will be A-10’s.

Rent a scanner if you don't own one. Also the only way to rent one is through Racing-Electronics website, and they won't offer rentals a few days leading up to the race so do it soon. https://racingelectronics.com/collections/rentals

I’m even hearing all about it down here in Cancun. Probably because Saurez won. I hope I recorded the whole thing.

Give yourself time to wander around and view the displays/booths it's part of the experience. Although the number of displays and booths has diminished over the years, there is still plenty to see. You can take in a small cooler with food, water and soda. No beers

Speaking of Phoenix… anyone interested in a Trackside RV spot? I have an extra spot not being used this race. It’s right on the track, backstretch at the exit of turn two. The back of the spot over looks the Drivers RV lot and has views of the access tunnel. Was getting ready to post it and seen this topic and I thought why not highjack this thread🤣🤣. I believe it’s somewhere at +/-2,500$.

You sir have found racing nirvana.
Non wing 410's are best.
Grew up watching them back em in at Ascot, Manzanita...

I've always followed the outlaws loosely but really got serious about USAC CRA last year and went to a bunch of races and the Western Worlds at Cocopah. It's all Flo Racing's fault 🤣
