Danica is changing clothes and getting ready to make her appearance in the Hollywood Hotel right now

How long until the race. Not showing live here. Will have to use stream

>>76458939
30 bings

>>76458939
About 25 minutes.

>>76458939
Green flag at 1:18 PM ET
so about 40 mins

cheers lads.

>>76458845
Fuck ARCA tbqh.

>>76459002
Joe Gibbs is doing just that

Cup racers running today: Larson, Suarez, Keselowski, Menard

Ty Dillon is running this race too, but he's a bit of a tard.

>>76459122
>Ty is a cup driver and Mears is not
It's painful

>>76459002
ARCA race would have been fine if the two NASCAR teams up front hadn't dominated it. disgusting desu

What a shame about the 6 team

>tfw called Wallace to the 43 and you guys called me crazy
I don't have much going for me, so this feels good.

>>76459154
>Implying Mears and Ty aren't on the same level of mediocrity
Neither would have a job if it weren't for their names.

Asking the drivers about triangles. Embarrassing.

>>76459328
My keks willed Bubba to the 43 as well, anon. We know what's up.

>>76458765
>design a tarck with 6 turns

I remember Carl Edwards and crew referred to to the turns as 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6

fucking leaf

>Danica has an average finish of 30 in 8 starts at Pocono

Why is she qualified to say what drivers should do

>>76459784
She's there to give insight on how to give up positions and get wrecked out
Her insight is quite valuable in that regard

Is it race time or quali time?

>>76459869

Is Jack simply just pricing the team out of the market?

Clint and Kevin will be funny. Joey will be a wedge between them.

whats with the pwease no steppy flag behind the hollywood hotel

>>76460205
>Is Jack simply just pricing the team out of the market?

Pretty much. You could run with a mid size sponsor and two smaller ones for the price of one big sponsor paying for a wrap. Feels like they are afraid of being seen as a "Small Team"

they're going to forget to shill something and get fined 10000000 each

Just tuning in, how are the lads doing calling the race?

>erik, what do you got down there
>awkward silence followed by the sound of engines
>can't understand a single word
These pit crew reporters need to speak up. Practically yell.

the setup on bubba's car looks atrocious

>>76460456
Joey and Kevin are doing alright, Clint's trying to keep up, the rest are meh...

>>76460456
Spaghetti

>>76460506
I imagine the producer was screaming at him to get the mic closer to his mouth but he couldn't hear them as all the cars were flying by

>>76460506
Kek. That was pure spaghetti.

It wouldn't be hard to be Darrell or Gordon, but Mike Joy's job is hard.

>>76460641
Larry talks tech and strategy so he has a moderately tough job

>>76460641
Mike Joy pls

>>76460641
Who is Mike Joy today? We have three Jeff Gordons in the booth.

Of all the guys they get, I think Harv, Logano and Brad are the best.

>>76460641
this would be adam alexanders job. hes trash

>>76460702
Kevin is Mike Joy

>>76460702

There isn't one and that's why it feels disjointed.

Who is in the 20? The name Benjamin doesn't ring a bell.

nothing will ever make xfinity at pocono exciting

>>76460762
Kyle Benjamin

>>76460775
>release a pig at random to run around the track

That'd be pretty entertaining.

>>76460703
harv, brad, and clit are my picks with clit being the mikey

>>76460762
a K&N kid

>>76460641

Being a commentator isn't as easy as people think. I did some play-by-play for college volleyball games and you've got people talking in your ear and you're trying to keep talking yourself while listening to what they have to say. It's not easy at all and I screwed up a couple times myself.

literally more commercials than racing

>>76460762
Kelvin Benjamin of the Cleveland Browns. France will do anything for ratings

who is that muscle boy beside Denny

danica is doing really well maybe this should be her job instead of racing

[PIT STRATEGY INTENSIFIES]

Gotta have the lead guy to coordinate everything. Harv is good in the booth but not being THE guy.

>go to commercial again
>immediate lead change

That mobile strike commercial really makes me want to kms

>>76460958

If you're not points racing you gotta come before pit road closes. Such a huge track it's not like you'll lose a lap.

I'd love to know the jewish reason we can't have side by side every commercial break for racing in NA

>the future of television.

Television has no future.

Net content is where it's at.

>silence

clit cant radio

>>76460149

Last news I saw on it. They called the local animal control, left some water in a bowl for the fox and closed up the barrier so it can't get out. Animal control is going take the fox safely after the xfinity race finishes.

Clint is that guy who forgets to push the button before he uses the walkie talkie.

i like that benjamin kid just from that handling of the radio call wew and wew clit

i guess the fox shills behind them yell at them during the endless commercials

>>76461643
....and then forgets to release it.

>hey buddy this is DW up in the booth you got a copy

Does anyone else hear that whooshing sound?

>>76461817
actually no
check your stream or TV

Pretty much confirmed that Danica is going to be a commentator next year.

>>76461870
She has a good, strong voice for this and with speech and media coaching she could fit in nicely to the Manske role.

I could listen to these goys every race desu

the 00 needs a wrap that doesn't look like cheap shit. that white is awful

>>76462014
the boys in the box are enjoyable. glad they've gotten them more involved the past few years. bread's a good time too.

Probably a good race going on outside of just following the leader around by himself

>>76462066
it's better than a whole bunch of zigzaggy five color bullshit

>>76462150
denny seems like the weak link in this configuration

I seriously want to see roush fenway racing to die out but without the team's drivers losing rides I'm sick of seeing Jack fail with sponsors

>>76462066
Not as bad as the f1 paint

>>76462221
He's definitely got nerves but he's not in the box, he's on the side set. He sounds paranoid and like he's fighting a withdrawal or something

>>76462151
showing some lower teams off on tv would help with sponsor exposure as well

why did menard do this

>muh nards

>>76462259
quiet goy, drivers like bubba wallace have plenty of sponsors

>>76462287
because he sucks

Is it true that Bubba Wallace got pulled over by cops, was beaten, and tazed during practice at Charlotte because they thought he was just a nigger trying to steal an Xfinity car?

Can someone give me a quick rundown on Kyle Benjamin?

>>76462248

Probably nowhere to party hardy in the Pocono mountains

>>76462520
He's alright

>already back to full commercial
haha, what the fuck

>Bones
Good nickname. We can work with this.

This made me think, what happened to Jeff Hammond anyway?

>>76462520
K&N/ARCA veteran. Never really had any kind of sponsorship so I'm guessing papa's got some coin.

>>76462576
RIP, man

>>76462225
Cindric buys Roush? How else could this happen?

Ryan Blaney has a good voice for this. I can imagine him calling NASCAR on MRN.

>600 miles
>scheduled TV time is 2 hours
Jesus Christ. Why do they run any ovals over a mile? They should do Martinsville

>>76462609

I think the succession plan at Ford is that Doug Yates is going to take over that team after Roush steps down.

>>76462753
It's 600k

>Old series regular leading on strategy

PUT IT OUT

Snorefest boys.

>>76462769
You would know, Texas.

That ford Edge five hundred miles commercial is like the opening to a blacked video. This place has ruined me.

>>76462805
I wonder if they can resist 600 miles

that would put 4 road courses on the schedule, don't see that happening.

Custer doesn't have a sponsor either? Why is shr so bad at sponsors? After Harvick it's a mess.

>>76463006
Custer's sponsor has always been Haas, his father is with the company.

>>76463006

Gene Haas is loaded so it's not as big an issue for him as other owners.

This is the age of advertising on social media. You don't need to be informative or even helpful, all you have to do is post memes to appeal to today's trendy urban youths

Blaney's got a nice hat.

Drivers ended up doing a good job on the commentary and reporting

Joey Logano has the personality of a moldy dish rag, but it could have been way worse

Good moves at the end, at least.

Glad to see Algaier get that last pass for P2.

>>76463501
Joey does a good job in the booth. Harvick is alright, but he's better in a support position.

Indycar death race 600 at Texas Motor Speedway is tonight at 2000 EST boys.

See you there.

Indy at fast ovals make me nervous

Blaney is really good at this

>>76463539
Haven't heard it, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Blaney has a podcast, but they ruined it by having some ditzy bitch run her mouth for half the show making it unlistenable.

Blaney has two. The one on the NASCAR website and he does one with Bubba Wallace whenever they get time to record it. The one with Bubba is way better though it doesn't talk about racing as much.
