Ryder Gutierrez
Also ARCA at IRP/ORP/Lucas Oil Raceway at 9pm on FS1
Gabriel Reyes
>Hendrick said his driver seemed "sharp" on Wednesday, but also admitted that the condition has temporarily shelved any talks of the two working out a contract extension beyond the one that ends in 2017. >"Dale and I talked earlier about multiple years beyond next year and I was involved when he went to the doctor," Hendrick said. "And then the doctors really took over and then we text back and forth, and then I got to see him face-to-face. I care about him as a friend and someone that means a lot to me and I want him to be healthy and right when he gets in the car and the doctors are going to dictate that."
Can't believe I keep forgetting about ARCA. Next week they're at Pocono again on FS1 but won't be on FS1 until Sept. 15 at Chicagoland. I don't remember seeing all these races being on ASN when I looked at the series earlier this year, seems like something changed. ASN seems even worse and more regional than FS2 so I doubt I'll be able to find a stream
Joshua Roberts
ASN streams everything on their site
Ryder King
>heat races >in Xfinity >at Indianapolis
Levi Lee
Why the fuck is Nascar doing heat races at Indy in the Xfinity Series this weekend?
Okay, it's something different. But why? 250 miles in one race on a Saturday afternoon would be just fine.
Blake Murphy
Series has gone to hell so it's time for more gimmicks.
Henry Gutierrez
Kyle needs to be able to win twice in one day
David Powell
Because moving Xfinity from IRP to Indy was such a disaster they needed a gimmick to keep it alive
Ryan Gray
Who's ready for the best oval race of the weekend?
Landon Smith
>this cuck commercial with real human bean fucking why
Parker Russell
I don't know.
The top 4 GTLM cars were covered in less than two tenths.
Jaxson Thomas
When will ARCA make the new car body mandatory? Having two types on the field is weird
Justin Williams
"soon"
They're phasing them in slowly to try and keep the fields as full as possible. The biggest benefit with the composite bodies is that they're 100 lbs lighter than the old steel bodies, which might not be enough to justify the move for some of the smaller teams. Since they weren't approved for larger tracks until this year, and they still aren't approved for Daytona/Talladega, some teams may not be big enough to have multiple cars and chassis. That may change next year though.
ARCA BRAKES
Ayden Howard
Haven't watched a Super GT race in a while and NISMO TV is legal streaming the Sugo race, but it starts at 11pm here. I don't know if I'll be able to stay awake to watch it all.

Will Tony Stewart race the Indy 500 next year?
Nathan Gutierrez
Someone should make an early xfinity race thread so we can shitpost about the heat races before the race begins.
Charles Evans
His fat ass won't fit in an IndyCar anymore.
Camden Fisher
>7 GT500 cars beat last year's course record. In GT300 even 12 (!) cars were faster. Grid in both classes should lead to a wild race #supergt
also based niggaboo Sam Collins is back commentating on NISMO TV for tonight's race
Blake Wright
so Smoke is just all of a sudden good again?
Adam Hill
He was running the oldest cars in the Stewart-Haas stable the past couple seasons so that Kurt and Kevin would be driving the top tier freshly constructed chassis
Evidently, He's in some fresh equipment this year and he and his crew chief are clicking right now
Elijah Morales
>JGR 1-2-4-6 >no HMS car in final round

Luke Hall
That's not the layout WTSC is running. Navigating traffic is a art
Blake Collins

i just picked up a pack of sausages to cook
Liam Cooper
I'll probably sleep through most of it since I want to watch Super GT tonight. Can't be fucked to watch a race that will end around 3am and wake up for another that starts at 7am
Luis Collins
Wow, never thought I'd see the day that I can watch an IMSA race with my portable HDTV (small 15" TV with an antenna) and yes it's in HD 1280x720
Samuel Jenkins
I'll be watching Sugo, too.
I'm just not excited about Nurburgring races outside the N24.

Tyler Anderson
Indy is the Monaco of speedway oval racing, but now that they race 220mph shopping carts that punch a whole the size of two 18 wheelers there people think it's a real race track.
