So they're trying to basically make this like the open-wheel pack racing?
>>77256336
They're just throwing shit at the wall to try and suppress that the racing at Indy in stock cars is awful and they never should have left IRP.
Anybody have a besweet stream link?
Judentube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQAms7e8oY
Probably get taken down though...
Aero ducts are actually a really good idea. It's a shame they had to fuck it up by limiting horsepower.
>>77256407
Exactly
>>77256373
They even have a road course at IRP, but instead we have to endure this
>>77256396
It was Fox Business Channel that DMCA'd the Truck race at Eldora
There's a reason that's the least streamed network on the internet
>>77256418
i didn't think the IRP road coarse had been used since back when my grandpa could still get erections
>>77256407
The cars won't get enough speed off the corners to make use of the air. I don't get it.
Did we ever learn what kind of sandwich it was that Tim Fedewa dropped off the pagoda this morning?
>>77256492
fedewa seems like a ham and swiss kind of guy
>>77256492
>>77256293
Holy shit you started this thread ten seconds after mine. Yet it seems yours is linked in the motorsports thread. You win.
>>77256549
blog it
Wow what a crowd
>>77256574
literally more people golfing than watching the race if you include Rutledge
>Rutledge Wood in charge of golfing
Hi friends
>Hey, remember that time I won one of the most boring races in recent memory?

So, from yesterdays practice, yes there is drafting, sling shot passing and such
Looked liked indycars sort of drafting only 60 mph slower
I'm not sure that the effect will hold out through an entire tire run though
I imagine they'll string out single file once the tires wear and it'll get real boring real fast
We shall see
>>77256609
I'm not you friend, pal.
Stands dead as heck :/
>there are entire grantstands with less than 10 people in them
why on earth did they open up all these stands if you could fit the whole crowd in Turn 1?
i would feel embarrassed to be part of this crowd.
but hey it's OK guys there's a comp caution in 10 laps!!
Theres less people than usual or is just an effect of the size of the grandstands?
LEAF STREAM:

Needed stronger speed reductions, they're spreading out already.
>>77256716
>giant grandstands
>crap xfinity attendance in general
>local boycott of the Brickyard 400 after 2008
its a perfect storm of shit
>>77256731
>Wanting 140 mph avg speeds at Indianapolis
That's an insult to the track.
>>77256759
If you're gonna meme it up, might as well go all out.
Hahaha fuck. The cars actually look slow.
So, tire dragon on the high "line" tonight?
So far the only difference between this race and previous ones is that they're going slower and the leaders aren't as spread out. Great job.
>>77256804
PJ1 Trackbite baby!
That'll fix it
Stock cars already look slow at this track, but this is embarrassing
Spaghetti in the pits lol. The track looked wet.
>jones
>The City of Erik Jones
>when the pitstops are more exciting than the racing
Should NASCAR just throw a caution every 10 laps like in 2008?
[_] Yes
[_] Definitely
The old Heimlich maneuver
>>77256527
This man knows indiana.
>>77256716
Less people than usual. To be fair its the hottest its been all summer today. 95, no breeze, humid. Shit sucks
I literally don't see anyone in those stands wtf
>>77257065
IRP has lights
>boycott t-shirt at indy
Based
Just got home.
Is it meme racing or just straight boring?
>>77257116
;_;
It's okay, we still have based rags
Leader on the last restart wins the race. Cap this.
So there's like 20 ppl in attendance?
>>77257130
>Boycott Dolce and Cabana
I honestly have no idea what this is about

>>77257130

Why are people stupid enough to buy this?
Please tell me someone got a .webm of that one. Kek
>Manlets
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN?
AHAHAHA
all that pits spaghetti
>>77257425
>they have the handful of fans who showed up bunched right at s/f so they can get the iconic checkered flag photo with people in it instead of empty grandstands
Sorry guys I'm late.
What did I miss other then the death of American motorsports?
>>77257535
Spaghetti in the pits
>>77257425
>29 KB
Holy shit Indy fans we only come here once you could at least throw us a bone. Fucking pathetic. This kind of sectarianism will kill this sport in in this country. Back in the day no one cared, racing was racing.
That was badass by algaier
Fuck this package is actually good
>>77257708
Nah not really.
>>77257682
How many more tickets do you think nascar would sell if they ran the infield?
>all gayer
Spaghetti everywhere
Holy shit lol
>THE CITY OF ALLGAIER
That was a hilariously awful pit stop by the 7 lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Allgaier is fucked
Algaier just destroyed his pits' air line
Holy fuck. The drill and cable ripped off Gators tire.
>outside of box
>runs over airhose
>car destroyed
Holy hell this race is now worth it
What an spectacular way to choke
will she finally get a real win this weekend
>Lil Gaydor
I don't think I've seen a pit stop bungled that hard in years
>>77257736
We will find out next year my friend
>yfw they bring this package to Cup next year for several races
>that fucking pitstop
that stop was so spaghetti that the air hose literally turned into spaghetti
Allgaier is spooked. He does not want to hit a crew member and completely forgets how to pit.
Spectacular spaghetti
What was the worst pit stop in NASCAR history?
>>77257708
It's okay-to-good.
I still say they need more power.
>this sport is about technology
>High drag package
Lel
nascar will call this a success which means we will officially never see a return of IRP
>>77257808
Probably Logano's pit crew spaghetti when the championship was on the line
>Allgaier
Manlets, when will they learn.
>10 lead changes is a track record
Oh boy, get ready to see this package at Pocano, Fontana, and Michigan next season.
>>77257808
You're probably too young to remember the Rudd/Elliot stop in 89. That stop is the reason there are speed limits and helmets on pit road.
I have never been so indifferent on a new package it's not awful but nothing special
Somebody needs to make an Algator pit stop webm with yakety sax background music please.
>>77257808
The one were the car run over a crew member and killed him, i think it was in atlanta
>>77257823
>record 10 lead changes
Yep, it doesn't matter how they happened, this will be written as the greatest in the 5 year history of the race
>>77257833
What if they changed the aero package without adding a restrictor plate? Wouldn't that work better?
>>77257895
>>77257878
>>77257808
I found it because I'm bored:

Don't encourage them, Landon.
Landon Cassill NO!
holy fucking shit these segments were they literally SHOVE praise down our throats
What did he mean by this?
https://twitter.com/DaleJr/status/888868760538447873
>>77257919
oh man this is brutal :(
>>77257960
I love how he can be as detrimental to stock car racing as he wants because he's Dale Jr.
>>77257960
Dale has rare GIFs. Nice.
Allgaier out, Bowman in.
>>77257960
actually that may be in reference to Alligator pit issues because that's his car
best racing all race during a commercial break
>>77258043
No commercial here
The city of Jones
>Lelric Jones
>wrong JGR receives penalty
Byron makes a good pass during commercial.
>The pits are angry today my friends...
>Muh Nards is in with a shot of winning this now
kek
Muh Nards is coming
Commercial 8 to go eat my ass NBC
>Commercial with 8 to go
Muh Nards is passing as well as anyone today. He's a legitimate contender.
Muh nards is closing
Who do we want to win this
Is it happening?
When Paul Menard won the Brickyard 400 I just assumed Menard's was a sponsor for the track. Is there any truth to this?
Muh needs has this
Menard will use the bumper
Random broken car lmao
Byron wins by blocking.
this package means you can almost pass people
>>77256293
>muhnardwinslol
Getting tired of this shit "sport"
>Be the son of a banker
>Get into racing through sim racing
>Win at Daytona and Indianapolis
Some people just have all the luck.
Good job for the rookie.
That wasn't nearly as shit as I thought it would be.
The fucking pits were possessed by Satan today....
WE
DID

BOYS

GUYS
Byron is ready for cup but I don't think Hendrick should go with two rookies.
>>77258590
What does this mean
>>77258590
i dont get it
>look up, look around, look at those empty stands
What's the deal with the interview on the track before the pit road interview?
>>77258693
He's like, "Cool. I did this on the computer."
>>77258762
Nothing
But
Cancer
>>77258762
NBC trademark interview on the track.
>>77258625
In the 5 in 2019
So, it's pretty much confirmed that we're doing this package in Cup next year?
>>77258762
Its a new thing that NBC Sports is doing this year to get the fans closer viewpoint of teh victor
Big Cock Bryon
>>77258807
wish we could do it tomorrow desu
>>77258625
>Bowman
>rookie
He has two full seasons in bad equipment
Cup quals next. Considering how few passes there will be tomorrow, qualifying is big.
>>77258839
I didn't count those lol. Bowmans never had a full season in good equipment.
>>77258807
Please no
Why do so many people in NASCAR say "gonna kinda." This is annoying.
Cup quals at 6:25
Lol
