Damn, it's been awhile since I've seen one of these threads

>On the Chase format, France said: "It's probably the single best decision that we've ever made as an organization to adapt the first-ever, elimination-style in auto racing format.

Stroll already binned the #01 and caused a red flag on his out lap. In unrelated news, Kenny Habul will race at the Rolex 24 for Stevenson

I liked Gilly. Hope he gets another couple shots at a superspeedway win. Saw his son's first ARCA win in person last year and it was nuts

>>64757771
Is he a road ringer, or just a guy that only drives road courses?
>because he's kind of stunk in NASCAR

>>64762603
Raced in some Aussie series before NASCAR, including a V8 developmental. Other than that I don't know much about him

Oh boy !

For those who didn't followed last year's European F3 season, he was one of the many reasons there was a huge shitstorm mid-season starting at Monza and at Spa. Very crash prone.

Are there any rule changes for the Xfinity Series this year, or will it be dominated by Cup guys again?

Curious if any of you bros did Draftkings NASCAR contests last year. If so, how did it go? I figure watching practice would be a good way to set a lineup for a race, but with crashes, mech failures and all it seems like it'd be hard to be consistent at.

>>64774863
I don't think so.

>>64710225
How disgusting

>>64774863

Besides the Chase, there's supposed to be some suspension/chassis changes that are supposed target the Gibbs/Penske teams and even the playing field.

>>64776817
