Might be missing heaps, post rest in the thread
First for /rags/
Most US series like Indy and ARCA are on their off weekend due to the long Holiday weekend in the US and there's not much going on internationally so you aren't missing heaps anyway.
Second for Dale Jr. "mysteriously" missing his restrictor plate this weekend.
That or Jimme pushes him for the last 20 laps.
USA USA USA
If you have any different series or stories you would like to talk about or share please do! That's what this thread is all about.
Question of the day will the NXS be a wreck fest like the past two plate races?
>>76849115
The only DTM race worth watching is this weekend. The race on the Norisring
The former german chancellor Helmut Kohl died recently and his funeral is on Saturday. Because of this the schedule for Saturday was changed
>FP2: 0845
>Quali 1120
>Race 1325
Sunday's schedule is as planned
>FP3: 1110
>Quali 1400
>Race 1720
All times are in CEST
NASCAR Silly season is starting so here's some collected BS So far
>NASCAR is considering a full ban on cup drivers in Xfinity/Truck races as it's killing attendance, but is also trying to allow them to be involved be it broadcast or Crew Chief as the Pocono "driver take over" was a success and popped ratings. Either way even more severe cutbacks are coming for buschwacking.
>GMS is buying BK Racing's charter on the #23 and running a full time schedule. Spencer Gallagher won't be moving up yet and a Vet will run the first two seasons. GMS may also switch to Toyota.
>Blaney is moving to Penske running the #12 with Discount Tyre and Fitzgerald Gliders backing
>Bubba Wallace will take the #21 for the Wood Bros. Ford Motocraft to back him.
>Menard is dropping to Xfinity and moving to Penske to run the #22 full time
>Ty Dillion goes to the #27 which might become the #33
It's probably going to get stupider as we go through the summer too.
>>76850366
>>Blaney is moving to Penske running the #12 with Discount Tyre and Fitzgerald Gliders backing
>>Bubba Wallace will take the #21 for the Wood Bros. Ford Motocraft to back him.
>>76850264
And speaking of the burning building that is DTM, they have announced another fucking retarded rule change.
>Number of mechanics was limited to 64 per manufacturer for cost reducing reasons(each manufacturer has 6 teams)
>Teams have lots of stress because of this rule
>Stress increases even further because of the changed schedule for this weeks race
>So the organisation finally gave in and increased the number of mechanics
Sounds like a good change right? Except it might be the most useless rule change I've ever heard for 3 reasons
>Increased number of mechanics is only legal for this weeks race
>Each MANUFACTURER only gets 2 more mechanics, so nothing changes for atleast 4 of the 6 teams of each manufacturer
>The ONLY thing these mechanics are allowed to do is cool the brakes
This series needs to die ASAP
>>76850366
I'm okay with all/any of those
>>76850393
>This series needs to die ASAP
Seems more and more likely every day. Hear so many rumblings about the crumbling integrity of the series and participants.
Logano will ruin the race tonight and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>76850366
>Carl Edwards takes over the 88
>>76851299
Carl ain't coming back.
>>76851312

>>76851373
>My Dad works for nintendo
What is Derrick Cope's endgame?
>>76851299
>>76851312
>>76851373
Carl's not coming back. Current bullshit on the 88 is that Jr wants Bowman because he believe Bowman has the talent, works great with Ives better than he does and it would be an easier transition with the huge fanbase to side with Bowman than someone new. The problem is that there's a sponsor issue. Nationwide and PepsiCo are siding with Dale and are ready to back him. Axalta doesn't want Bowman. They want someone else more experienced and marketable. That's why the Carl rumors are coming around because experienced and marketable is Carl and what Axalta wants. Final call will likely go down to the Captain and he'll probably use his Jew Magics to make Axalta hang on with Bowman till Byron is ready.
Now who goes to the 5 is more interesting cause it seems like they won't resign Kahne.
>>76851728
Kahne is getting resigned for some reason
>poole pole
Brendan Poole has taken the pole for the Xfinity race tonight at Daytona.
>3/4 JRM starting in top 10
I'm happy.

Will Jeffrey take the family torch dominate cup races starting next year?
>>76852514
DELET
>>76851728
It's Kenseth. Screencap this.
Kahne is gone since Greatclips and Farmers are both not resigning their deals and are probably leaving the sport entirely. Whoever goes to the 5 needs to bring sponsorship, or Hendrick will just shut it down and begin the great downsize for this new era of declining attendance and viewership.
All that "Bubba Wallace to the 21" stuff was posted by some Penske fanboy autist onRubbin's Racin' and of course someone on R/NASCAR submitted it as pure fact. It's not happening.
>>76852628
Why would Kenseth leave Gibbs though?
It'll probably be Jeffery Earnhardt.
Last 2 digits are how many cars McFlurry takes out when he starts the big one by driving like a retard
Reminder that Roush used to field 5, yes FIVE, cars
>>76852514
>>76852628
Kenseth can't even carry a stable sponsor right now. Rick isn't gonna bring him in as a rental. And Blaney is 100% out at Wood Bros after this season. Wood Bros want to carry young drivers and develop them on short contracts. It's "time" for Blaney to move on, to a 3rd team at Penske. Bubba to the 21 is the obvious move for what the Wood Bros want to be.
As far as the 88 Nationwide would love Bowman or a young star. Prob is young stars like Larson and Blaney are not leaving their ownership. So the only other young star that makes sense would be Byron, who is prolly a year away still.
So I think it'll be Bowman and then Byron will be in the 5 in 2019.
>>76852744
The entire field plus the pace car and several track safety vehicles
Nice
I cannot wait
>>76852810
What about bringing someone like Cassil or Yeley to the 88, maybe all they need is good equipment?

Any fucking race where Kasey goddamn Khane is qualifying in the top 5 is bullshit.

>>76853238
Kasey Kahne is an excellent driver though, just gets caught up in bad luck.
>>76853305
>>76852758
They were up to 6 at one point I think. That was the high water mark though it was all downhill after that. I never imagined with all the Ford support they used to get that they would ever be down to 2 but here we are
At the Glen atm, anyone else here?

Nope. MuhNards could leave RCR but he stays in the cup series. He is the sponsor baby Roush desperately needs.

The Daytona and Talladega races need at least a few weeks in between to fix the cars that will invariably find themselves in both big ones. More road couses are good, stock cars would be awesome to see on a street course. Let them drive close and shitty like a short track but with manhole covers in play and the very real possibility of blocking up the damn track. Put real working lights on the cars at least for road races so it looks less like a bunch of tin cans going round the circuit. Pic related is a prefect example of the kind of tracks NASCAR could and should race on in 2020.
>implying that little beginner bullring wouldn't be the shit fest of the year

>Nope. MuhNards could leave RCR but he stays in the cup series. He is the sponsor baby Roush desperately needs.
Supposedly it's Menard who wants to drop because he's not winning anything in Cup, his age is catching up to him and he wants to spend time with family so a drop like what Sadler did would suit him. Menards will stay in cup as a sponsor but it would be interesting to see what team they go with.
>>76855313
I saw Jayski mention them, backed it up and said the unreported shit is even sillier. So it's probably going to get even more insane.

>So the organisation now restricted what the teams could write on the pitboards
How, just how can the DMSB fuck up THIS badly? How can every single rule of DTM be the most retarded rule in motorsports?
I want to like DTM so much. It could've been so great. It could've been a second Super GT. But no, everyone involved keeps fucking up so much that it's painful

>As Button admitted that it would be his first time in competing in a race where many different cars of a multiple classes run together, he was asked about racing in traffic with slower cars. "Traffic was not a problem (at this test), but I was surprise how difficult it is to overtake some GT300 class cars especially Nissan GT-R. It's not only fast on the straight, it can brake late because it has ABS. The situation is different in SUPER GT than (LMP car at a higher position) overtaking GT cars at Le Mans 24 Hours. It's more difficult to overtake here and you definitely need to take more risk to overtake. But it's good, it definitely adds to the racing. I found SUPER GT a really exciting race." Button responded with a smile.
