David gave him his full trust 😉

It says right there on their official site, under the results from the last race 😉
The standings weren't updated last night, so I'm guessing they'll get around to it today or sometime later this week 🙂

"unbelievable"...

Man... that’s just classic Takuma... BUT!
Dario basically slammed the door in his face, and he reacted like a total hothead!! 🤦

And honestly, even the Scotsman redeemed himself quite nicely 🤦 :

😢

People really underestimate this Japanese driver. Once they get a feel for his style, they'll realize he's going to come back and settle the score in a big way.

Heading to Dover this weekend.



Capacity 135,000
Opened 1969
Surface 1969-1994: Asphalt

Length 1 mi (1.6 km)
Turns 4
Banking Turns: 24°
Straights: 9°
Lap record 22.288 seconds (Jeremy Mayfield, Evernham Motorsports, 2004, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series)

So they actually had asphalt until '94 and then decided to just slap concrete over the top of it? What kind of genius move was that? Which idiot in charge thought that was a bright idea?🙄

Anyone actually watching this besides me?

Yeah, that’s me! Though honestly, I've been keeping a much closer eye on Nationwide than Sprint lately
I'm still kind of finding my footing here 🙂

I'm feeling the same way here
Kurt Busch really stepped in it this time—he’s been slapped with a one-race suspension just for getting a little too heated during a post-race interview with a reporter 😁
And don't even get me started on IndyCar in Detroit; what an absolute train wreck. The track surface literally split apart—and I mean that quite literally...

Would any kind soul out there be willing to shoot me a DM with a link (preferably a stream) for the IndyCar race in Detroit? I haven't had a chance to catch it yet, and since the next one is already coming up this weekend, there's just no way I can avoid finding out how it all shook out.

Thanks—fuel crisis here!

There aren't any nationwide races on the schedule this weekend, which is a total bummer, but we've got Prelude to the Dream happening today instead, and honestly, I'm just sitting here on the edge of my seat waiting to see if Danica can actually pull it off.

What's this about?

Is it actually possible that I stumbled onto some NASCAR stuff and you haven't even heard of it? Haha
Honestly, I’m just now wrapping my head around this whole thing too, but from what I can gather, it’s basically this big humanitarian race featuring all the NASCAR stars
Anyway, here’s the link for this year's preview so you can go ahead and check it out if you want
