Daytona 500 Time Trial Qualifying Thread

Time trials to determine the front row for the Daytona 500 on FOX in two bings.

Get in here for cars going fast and this year's edition of conspiracy shit

First for Mikey wrecking so he can finally stfu

toyota!
aaron's!

the toyota shilling in general is making a lot of people stop watching nascar, talked to some hicks at a race last year and they said its annoying af

>Stage racing
Jesus H Christ Brian

>Implying anyone has the attention span to understand that description of how the stage system works

So they added TdF style intermediate sprints to the race?
Intredasting.

what happened to the F1 style?

Toyota's figured out a way to make sure they get as much TV time as possible without stepping out of their boundaries and doing something unethical like paying for TV/PR. It helps a ton that Michael Waltrip is a natural-born shill for anyone who's ever sponsored him since 2001.

>tfw no shilling for Pennzoil or Country Time Lemonade

>Furniture Row up to the old tricks

Everywhere but plate tracks. It's a shit show with group quals at tracks like this with everyone trying to get in the back of a draft.

>sips coke
>skellington bones creaking
>collects trust fund

Fan favorite Joey Logano!

It'll be Brad or Joey, both looked the best in practice yesterday.

Reminder:
The pole will go to either

Dale Jr
>muh return to racing

Daniel Suarez
>muh diversity

Kurt Busch
>muh sponsor

It's funny because I would be fine with heat racing and I would be fine with regular racing. Stage racing is just some intermediate cancer dreamt up by Brian France.

The Daytona 500 pole can't be rigged because

>Similar engine packages qualify similarly
>Even if they did rig the pole for PR/Ratings purposes, it hasn't worked
>Good luck rigging 2015

I'm looking forward to the meme shit if either of these three scenarios happen, though

None of the chevys have looked particularly fast all week so I doubt jr gets it

A FUCKING LEAF

>Fewest entries ever for the Daytona 500

I know that they decreased the field to 40 because "muh shrinking entry lists" and "muh value of a charter" but they really should just let them all race given how meaningless the 150s will be.

More than one round, it will this round set pole?

shhh, a full field is 36

Erik Jones still not through tech

gwan krut etc

Kurt Busch is a wife beating mysoginist piece of shit, hope he wrecks. Go Joey!

Prudes

>no trips to garage after wrecks
>no replacement body panels after wrecks
>no pit stops >5 minutes

How many plate races until NASCAR repeals their stupid new pit rules? It's only going to take 1 big one early in a race for them to realize they don't want to lose Danica and a dozen other cars to a wreck 15 laps into the race.

Is this for real?
It's like Brian France wants to remove all traces of athleticism and skill from the sport
I see why Carl fucking bailed

Probably just cherry-picked a couple of tweets

bingo

>that thing on the right
>"girl"

>the #13 isn't an RCR car

>fox has just discovered how air works under a car

>>no trips to garage after wrecks
>>no replacement body panels after wrecks
>>no pit stops >5 minutes

it's like nascar hates stock car racing

if digits gimmie gets the quick time

gimmie will get bumped out of the top 12

>gimmie goyson

>Bayne?

...

>Tell me, why does he wear the glasses?

>monster cup

I'm fucking done with this "sport"

Just started watching NASCAR what drivers should I root for? What happens when they crash? Do only Hicks watch NASCAR?

>mad at drinks

>Chase Elliot
>Due to new rules they are out of the race, if it's Dale Jr his brains get scrambled and he falls into a coma.
>Yes

ford on suicide watch

>a drink company becomes title sponsor
>nothing more nothing less
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>what drivers should I root for?

>dale jr

>clint bowyer
>AJ allmendinger
>chris buescher
>ty dillon
>ryan blaney
>erik jones
>landon cassill
>brad keselowski

See you next week!

Gonna be another conspiracy pole. Jr will get it.

>guy named Bootie
>spends his life in a chair

So CaseOfBeers is out of the Geico car and Ty is in?

Childress bought it out

How do they get him up on top of the pit box?

CAN WE GET THAT FUCKING BORDER CROSSING FUCKING SPIC OUT OF THE FUCKING SPORT? HIS FUCKING FACE PISSES ME OFF, THEY FIRED CARL EDWARDS FOR THIS TACO-EATING SPIC?

FUCK YOU JOE GIBBS, I HOPE YOUR FOOTBALL TEAMS STADIUM BURNS DOWN

Landon Cassill will win a race this year. Remember this

RCR has 4 cars now then? Or is it a satellite operation?

...

the partnership with Childress formed 3 years ago so that isn't the reason

Has RCR been relevant at all since Hurvick left?

I can't wait for Landon's new PR/Shitposting campaign

>yfw you realize the last RCR driver to win a race was Kevin Harvick

GO CLINT

>Bowyer provisional pole

tell me more about where Jesus touched you

>nascar in charge of timing and scoring

Joonyear scores the Daytona 500 pole in a triumphant return to the race track!

[rigging intensifies]

Wrong.

Sneak 2.0 does

Elliott by 0.002

...

>meme car wins meme pole

which literal who will win the meme race?

14 beats 88 by .1889 of a second.

...

>scoring all of a sudden stops working
>hms 1-2

Likely story.

I smell a rat as well

Guess it's not as rigged as the past five poles have been.

>yfw they rig Jr. to win the pole for his 2018 retirement tour.

>2018 retirement
