And now I want a rotary powered Mazda6 touring car in Gran Turismo...and Sprint Cup while we're at it

*imagines 4-rotor rotary engined Mazda6 NASCAR or GTS Gr.3 car...drools before collapsing*

Just a reminder for everyone, the race is on USA network.

Why is the race starting so late? It should have started around 1 or so.

Olympic coverage?

 

[Eh Team]

One of the few things I liked better about the FOX broadcast was they brought back the early 00's intro song. That country thing just doesn't cut it for me.

Good thing it's sunny out.
Fun fact: This is the 3rd shortest race on the calendar.

I wish it was raining so they could actually use the rain tires they designed.

What's the other short points race besides Sonoma?

It rains about once a summer here it seems, and that was last weekend

Oddly enough, I made a mistake. Sonoma is the only one shorter (219 miles vs. 220.5 miles). Both are significantly shorter than Bristol and Martinsville.

Looks like Gordon is out of contention already with damage.

Tony Stewart cutting the corner

 

[Blitz24]

Johnson got a speeding penalty.
When serving said penalty, tried to top off. That's another penalty.
Now he's serving a stop and go penalty and is somehow a lap down.

Man, the #48 team is just abysmal today.

On a scale of 1-10, how frustrated is Jimmie right now?

EDIT: R.I.P. AJ's day.

22.64
47 sped on pit road. 19 had tire outside box.

RIP Allmendinger's chances at winning

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

47 and 19 with penalties. Might as well hand over the trophy to Kyle right now.

 

[Eh Team]

Holy pit road penalties today, this is kinda crazy.

 

[L8 Apex]

Obviously, no one wants to win this race...

 

[Jahgee]

This is the only track they pit on the side that they do. As a result, the stops are slower and mistakes are more likely

 

[Blitz24]

22, 2, 11, 19, 20, 18. One of them will likely win this race as nobody else can keep up.

78 as well, since they're pretty much JGR 2

 

[Leadfoot530]

Get enough penalties and the #48 might be back in contention!

Sadly, it's a shock now when the 4 or 48 win a race.

 

[01GTP]

22 too fast

 

[Blitz24]

Maybe 88 can win...... I think I might be delirious.

 

[Blood Eagle]

22, 2, 11, 19, 20, 18. One of them will likely win this race as nobody else can keep up.

20 huh? I highly doubt that.

 

[Blitz24]

20 huh? I highly doubt that.

Gibbs car was the only reason I included him. I don't see the 11 winning either. 22, 2, 18, 19.

 

[Leadfoot530]

22 too fast

 

[01GTP]

48 1st car a lap down and reported oil on track. hahaha!!!

 

[Jahgee]

Danica winning a race would be the most 2016 thing ever
