2020 is not off to a good start when it comes to notable deaths.

R.I.P. John.

 

[Dolph Drago]

That sucks.

They have confirmed the layout they will use for the Xfinity Indy race.

When you see it... something, something creepypasta

They have confirmed the layout they will use for the Xfinity Indy race.

Huh, it's the layout from Gran Turismo 5.

Not quite.

GT5 was the old F1 circuit.
The current Indy GP circuit is the one they’ll be using.

Ah, my mistake

The off-season ends tomorrow!
Here’s a schedule for all broadcasts for Speedweeks! All times eastern.

ARCA brakes in full effect in the ARCA race.

Front row for the Daytona 500
1st: Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
2nd: Alex Bowman​

The Clash starts at 2 right? also, Chevy might be back it looks like.

Pre race at 2. Race at 3.

Byron was my pick for the pole, didn’t happen, but Stenhouse wasn’t really surprising since he brought Pattie with him so has those notes from the last few years, and his car was obviously completely trimmed out for qualifying.

I pick Bowman or Kyle Busch to win the Clash, and Blaney or Dibenedetto to win the 500.

Still think the Chevys have a steep hill to climb, but I’m sure they’ll be in the mix by about a third of the way through the season. Expect this to be another Gibbs year though.

Boring. Nascar borked the aero package.Much better last year.

Solid commentary lol

Anyone expecting the Clash or All-Star race to produce good racing is fooling themselves. Both are just extra practice sessions disguised as a race. There is no real incentive for winning them.

The superstar drivers need the extra track time.

I can’t remember the Clash ever being particularly exciting either. They should just do pole qualifying on Saturday and move the Duels to this Sunday to provide the season opening appetizer

That restart was an absolute mess.

I like how immediately after you post this they apparently forgot how to drive.

They clearly all were ordered by NASCAR to do it on purpose since now that 9 car is the only one who has emerged unscathed.

They’ve managed to wreck even more cars than the ARCA race with half the field size.

He actually smacked the wall and may have a tire rub.

The pace car hasn't wrecked yet, so they have that going for them.

 

[Blood Eagle]

Keselowski is upset with his teammate (and rightfully so) for his reckless blocking. *language warning*

 

[Dylan]

This is embarrassing.

 

[Adamgp]

Final GWC was pretty good.

 

[Dylan]

I didn’t think anything could be worse than last years clash. Worst race I’ve ever seen.

 

[Blood Eagle]

Jones owes Denny a beer for that one.

Delivered by FedEx?

What the hell did I just watch... Please tell me the 500 isn’t going to be like that with this package...
