Laps to first wreck?

With all the rookies, I'm going with 6.

I think his fiancee read him the riot act and took the wheel away

>>74370735
Yes, after wrecking in every way possible and confessing his love for Gallagher, he had nothing left to prove

who /finger/ here

I don't know who any of these rookiefags are so rolling for who I root for tonight.

Rolling for winner

>>74370729
How will we even survive this cruel new era of darkness?

Probably figured that he's got enough money to be set for life and if he kept getting concussed his brain would turn into Zax Sauce

>>74370757
rooting for a rich kid but that's 90% of the field so okay

Oh for fuck's sake, is Vince Welch the lead announcer for the entire season?

Rolling for who is going into the catchfence this year.

I like that guy. He has zero luck.

>>74370967

The stage thing is worth a try but they should stop shoving it in my face and at least pretend that it's a complete race.

>>74371056
>>74371060
WTF Was up with that? Certainly he could have slammed on the brakes at least.

Probably didn't belong out there anyway if he couldn't avoid that but his team must be PISSED.

love how that one commercial listed literally every body issue you can get from headaches to stomache aches.

Now I don't necessarily hate stages because it reminds me of heat racing, but the idea that drivers are awarded both "championship points" and "playoff points" is retarded. Just have one fucking points system

ANOTHER ONE

>Live LONGER with this pill

>>74371960

The way I understand it is

>Championship points work like traditional points and last until Race 26
>Playoff points count towards your seeding and last from races 1-36

>>74371989

The only time there would be any less commercials is the last 5 laps or so of the stage, which is immediately made up for with all the commercials between the stages.

Reddit LOVED this idea but it's just destroying the series' integrity for the same, if not more commercials

>>74371992
There was definitely shit all over the track though

I love the new number font on the #4 truck. I know it's Kurt/Kyle's Legends number but it makes me think of Bobby Hamilton

There's a lotta guys in the trucks series that have no business racing at this level.

>>74372712
You're right, those finishes were absolutely insane. I have hope for the Cup race being a good one because it's going to be sunny and warm and the cars are going to slide around as the tires wear off, should make for better racing.

I actually think this heat race layout is going to make for some fantastic racing this year, but in the trucks...at DIS, it's prolly a bit much.

The heat layout is going to pay off the most as those 2nd tier tames race their ass off to get into the top 10.

The 2 20 lap segments were too short to sort out the field and resulted in some impatient driving. It should be better on the intermediate and short tracks though.

>it's going to be sunny and warm and the cars are going to slide around as the tires wear off
The only thing that worries me about that is an early wreck that takes out a good portion of the field, and the rest of the race will be penske and gibbs hugging the inside line.

Those crashes where someone spins into a backrear corner panel are always crazy af. Lucky for Crafton that wasn't worse. Sauter too.

I love how the scoring monitor just gives up on updating properly.

The seats closest to the racetrack are actually the cheap seats in racing.

Not only can what you described happen but the vantage points are also shit.
