For the second year in a row, the Daytona 500 has the smallest entry list ever
Samuel Rodriguez
shhhhh it's good for the sport!
Ryder James
Scheme of the year
Good goy
James Turner
Too bad it'll miss the race muh charter
Sebastian Adams
It's up against BKR, TBR, and shitboxes from Rick Ware, Premium, and Beard. Even with RAB's history of failing to qualify, I'd say they have a pretty good shot.
Gabriel Turner
Top 5 in ARCA practice right now are Gragson, Hessert, Corr, Gerhart, Sargeant
Asher Sullivan
Rain on Saturday gents

John Myers
hey senpaitachi
I am kinda new to this but isle of man TT really captivated me and I want to watch this year's in june live. where will the dedicated threads be on Sup Forums? so that it won't feel like I watch it alone
Angel Gutierrez
Who /ragsinabox/ here
50% Chance and mainly focused on the evening time. Might get the ARCA race in (Or at least finishing distance) but sounds like the Clash won't make it and will be on the Sunday instead. Daytona weather in February can be weird though.
Jayden Garcia
What is your race schedule for this season looking like lads?
I'm volunteering in the PR department at Charlotte for the ASR/Coke 600 and I talked to someone at Martinsville about doing the same thing for the Spring race
Michael Perez
reminder that this car won the 24 hours of Daytona
Kayden Hill
no rags this year ;_;
Colton Anderson
Are the ARCA practices or quals televised or streamed anywhere?
Jonathan Taylor
Nope, just timing on their website
Ryder Peterson
>DPis Slowed in Post-Daytona BoP Really makes me think
Logan Adams
IMSACAR is shit
Nathaniel Carter
what the FUCK is his problem?
Henry Bennett
autism
Nathaniel Nelson
>tfw will be too busy moving this weekend so I won't be able to watch any of it

Jonathan Thomas

No, thanks.
Evan Jackson
DELET THIS
Caleb Torres
Good to see you lads. Been a while. Pretty excited for the cars to be on the track tomorrow.
it always stops raining when the sun goes down we'll be alright
Jaxson Fisher
We have motorsports general threads put out on thurs/fridays that list most of the motorsports times for the weekend.
On race day, there is usually a /turnleft/ thread posted for NASCAR/ARCA races about an hour before the start of any given race.
Just look for them, and you'll find them.
You've GOT to watch the ARCA race at Daytona this weekend, as it is among the best ARCA races of the year, due to the shear carnage that usually takes place. Those niggers are doing close to maximum F1 speeds, but they don't have nearly ANY of the F1 downforce packages, and are essentially driving rolling bricks. It's good shit.
See you on race day.
Thomas Thomas

Jordan Davis
mother FUCKER
Jordan Smith
Will they be racing with their headlights on this weekend?
Gavin Nelson
thanks amerifriend
I will be back during the weekend
Jaxson Reed
welcome back
Jackson Turner
ARCA is mostly pay drivers, right? even with the cut costs, I can't imagine a team being profitable without pay drivers.
Andrew Phillips
That or family/self owned teams
Henry Thomas
>mfw potential joest and rebellion full time imsa efforts before this decade is over
Easton Ross
>"~25%" reduction in downforce but they've already made some of that back >could be hitting +310kph at Fuji get ready boys
At the very least Sunday is forecast to be dry past the morning when the showery front clears off so there will be racing. Saturday evening is just a crapshoot. I think they will just about get the ARCA race in or will have to call it near the end (Or ARCA will ARCA and only call it after it rains on the back stretch and someone wipes out leading to ARCA Brakes) but the Clash likely isn't going to happen on Saturday night.
Asher Turner
>new GT-R GT3 expected for 2018, still based on R35 platform
Really wondering when SRO is gonna step in and cap costs/solve the driver rating problem for GT3.
Isaiah Campbell
in motogp news: >pre-season testing is finished >marquez and vinales set for a 2017 showdown >lorenzo coming to grips with the ducati >rossi is old and should retire
are nascar drivers the only people that shill sponsors 24/7? I don't know how people follow them on social media. do they get fined if they use their real personalities?
Juan Thompson
>do they get fined if they use their real personalities? Yes actually
Jordan Watson
Unless you are Junior. Then you get away with anything.
Still respect the hell out of him for calling out his own sponsors for not backing Bowman last season and wanting >Sneak.
Nicholas Johnson
>following people on social media
It's like you WANT to make advertising Jews richer...
Oliver Jones
He's even allowed to shitpost on Twitter when he has to sit out the races.
Speaking of shilling, what do you guys make of the "le backflip man was paid to sit out this season and will go to Penske next year" story?
>Who /ragsinabox/ here
Always. Even when there are no rags, I will bring my own.
Nicholas Rodriguez
That """"story"""" wasn't even a story, just something someone made up
Gavin Gray
>random draw quali groups I'm not sure if this is better or worse than seeded groups
Adam Flores
>this ARCA qualifying
Colton Rogers
>Eligibility requirements for the Clash at Daytona are as follows: last years chase drivers, prior Clash at Daytona winners, pole winners from last season, and any driver with a vagina
Meaningless race.
Elijah Sanders
"That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life" - ARCA radio chatter
Liam Rivera
So just another day for ARCA then
Blake Ortiz
bullshit aside, if Slim (and Daniel's father) wanted Suarez in cup i don't think he would have many problems paying the clause for finishing Carl's contract early
a Mexican driver in a series that endorsed Trump works as propaganda
Michael Watson
>JGR car on pole for ARCA
Logan Ward
>other JGR car and a Venturini car withdrew Really makes me think
Hunter Flores
It was an ARCA loophole, those drivers weren't old enough to do the actual race
Jose Gomez
>gf excited for Daytona >says shes tired of waiting >tell her she doesn't need to wait any longer >we can ARCA this week >"What's ARCA?" >mfw trying to explain ARCA
Asher Reed
>gf Gross
Jacob Hall
Almost everywhere else, drives pay for the privilege of driving cars. Even F1 teams have pay drivers. Drivers in Nascar can make more money than many F1 drivers (I think Juan Pablo Montoya said that, or some other filthy foreigner)
That's changing now as Nascar, and motor sport in general is in a death spiral.
Josiah Campbell
>That's changing now that the Jews have managed to squeeze as many shekels as possible out of Nascar, and motor sport in general, and have put them in a death spiral as a result
Neat to hear Penske-Honda in IMSA next year. Is a manufacturer entry limited to being the only team using a specific P2 as a base, or can there be more than one engine&bodykit applied to a P2?
Gavin Murphy
toyoters are out now

ABJGR's are LITERALLY obsessed.

scratch that
Daytona 2007 >SIXTY-ONE cars racing for 43 spots Daytona 2017 >42 cars "racing" for 40 spots
More like 26 cars racing for 8 spots in 2007 and 6 cars racing for 4 spots in 2017
Jace Turner
scratch that
Daytona 2007 >15 cars racing for spots, FORTY SIX pieces of shit "racing" to make up the back marker field
Ryder Powell
What the fuck kind of racing series is MENCS? Sounds like some bullshit low-tier ultra gimmicky no excitement series where 2 or 3 guys win every week >oh wait
Ethan Brooks
Planned trips to Toledo for ARCA and Eldora for Trucks. Might be doing Pocono or Michigan in June for Cup just to see what's different from last year
Xavier Edwards
>gibbsfags will work together all race and ruin it
William Martinez
Teammates have worked together on superspeedways since at least 2001
Nolan Fisher
You're thinking of F1...
Hudson Perez
it's danica's opportunity to save the day by crashing into them
Sebastian Foster
Game 7 moments amiriteguis
Tyler Jackson
quiet goy buy toyota
Jose Baker
I don't think there is a race series where all drivers are/were professional.
Nascar and F1 are close, but the bottom feeder tier teams always have to depend on Maldonado type pay drivers to survive.
Luke Watson
if this post ends in 1-4 its a JGRWINSLOL year if this post ends in 5-9 its a JIMMYWINSLOL year if this post ends in 0 Junior wins the championship
Jayden Jones
...
Brody Bennett
Acceptable. Least Jimbo isn't a total faggot
Adrian Myers
on another note, you and both know there will be fix in where Junior wins a championship before he retires. The ratings would be ridiculous, and France will be seen in his office in the infield of homestead covered in baby oil furiously fapping to the ratings hed receive
Connor Gray
Nope.
Junior's done.
He's going to get wrecked again this season and have his brain scrambled, and then he'll call it because he doesn't want to end up like a vegetable before he's 60.
If he was smart, he wouldn't have come back, but he did it for his sponsors and his team.
Owen Martin
>Since at least 1997 When >Sneak and the Hendrick bunch swept the podium
Juan Parker
Jr's last chance was in 2014, i will be surprised if he doesn't retire (at least from cup) at the end of the season
