2021 season thread

My most laughed at daytona moment was Keselowski obviously wrecking his team mate then trying to act like it wasn't his fault. I've watched it 10 times.

Keselowski always causes a huge wreck at the super speedways. He crashes hard damn near every plate race
 
Rain delay fucked me.

I had 6 hours of fuck all recorded.

And once it started again I couldn't be bothered.

Sissy can't race in rain....

Oval tracks and rain tires don’t mix, especially with heavy stock cars with narrow tires(compared to open wheel).

They’ll have rain tires ready for the road course next week.

But then again, rain in any series tends to take the racing out of the race. Follow the leader sucks

Rain separates the men from the boys.

You can’t do it in racing slicks, and rain tires on banked ovals in stock cars last about 2 laps. There’s been rain tires at the road courses in NASCAR for years. They’ve been used a lot in the Busch series. Think they’ve only been needed once in the Cup Series, and they weren’t on there long before the rain went away and the track started to dry(rain tires on a dry track means tire failure coming soon)

That is what I thought originally as well.
but when I seen the view from the front looking right at their windshields. I see the 2 go to left to try & pass with a run & the 22 go down to block & they all wiped out.
Logano is one of the most blocking spaz in the field. Then add a few years ago Brad claiming if people try & block him he will wreck them. Perfect storm for two drivers I dont care for. I dont care which one gets the blame. Hopefully they dont get over it & have animosity with each other all year long.

The wreck was a product of what Daytona and Talladega have become. McDowell gave Keselowski a big push, probably too big of one, and that's what set off the wreck. Would have liked for them to race back to the line. I would have got a nice payday if Austin Dillon won. Had Chase Elliott in my pool though, and he was the highest finisher of drivers in the pool, but that's only 100 bucks and something me and my coworkers do every race for fun.
 
This is how you drive in wet when you are a master. A champion's drive.

Look at his tires at the end. 50 laps, almost slicks. Driving away from the field who except for Perez all had much newer tires.

A champion's drive.

Let em try it in heavy stock cars on a high banked oval. Doesn’t work. Been proven to not work. The tires are gone to the point of failure after just a few laps.
 
Roush Racing has become the first carbon neutral team in NASCAR. Pretty cool accomplishment, but I’m gonna go ahead and blame that for them falling for arguably the best Cup Series team to a mid tier ride on the same level as RPM and JTG Daugherty

Got it from YouTube so no idea.

But it was a soaking wet race on an unfamiliar track and nobody had a clue through practice and qualifying.

Everybody was spinning off, except Lewis on bald intermediates.....

A Champion's drive.

Well he is a badass.

Remember years ago watching a race where they were in the rain during a race Everyone was sliding & losing control.
Button was his teammate then. I was impressed how Button out drove him that day in the rain. Made me think. Huh. That is how you beat Hamilton.
So I assume Button was a pretty good wet track driver as well. That time in their careers Hamilton was the far superior driver.
In fact the only driver I could argue as better than Hamilton would be Senna.

Senna?

Lake Speed took him to school in the World Carting Championship.

dont get me wrong. I liked lake Speed.
Having a respectable career racing vs. one of the best ever in F-1.

I would call that a poor Career choice.
