2020 NASCAR Discussion ThreadNASCAR

36 race season should be abandoned as a goal. Right now I'd even say a 20 to 25 race season is realistic and should be focused upon.

If they cut a bunch of races, they may be forced to abandon the Chase and go old school with the driver having the most points be the champ. One can dream, right?

Day 5 without sports.

eNASCAR Coca Cola iRacing Series from Homestead starts in just under a half hour.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Harvick is the current points leader and Logano like 1 point back. That DNF was pretty costly for Blaney.

*edit* corrected Logano and Harvick order.

Oops my bad. Harvick to 2x champ (with the appropriate asterisk) then. Er, something

Day 5 without sports.

I spent an entire weekend binging Jelle's channel last year at some point. I was more entertained with marbles than most actual racing series...Dammit, now I want to watch the MarbleLympics again.

There’s so much potential here if we could just see all of the different racing tribes unite. Even in sim racing the open wheel, sports car and stock car drivers and fans are separate. This is the opportunity to get everyone together.

This could be very interesting! I can't wait to see it

Heck, see if you can get Gordon, JJ, Smoke and Carl to run this as well. It could be a lot of fun.

Sunday at 1:30 eastern.

Something that would be interesting is hearing a live-chat with all the drivers. It's pretty much a just-for-fun type deal so there would probably be some pretty good banter.

Jimmie has apparently kept every firesuit he's worn.



Hopefully he posts another video going over the rest of his shop, it seems like he has some interesting stuff there.

Looking forward to the race today, mostly because it’s Landon Cassill’s first chance to run competitively in a very long time, even if it’s not a real race.

Majeski, Byron and Kligerman are the favourites, and Smithley (who I hope gets the chance to lap Kyle Busch), Timmy Hill, and Briscoe seem like dark horses. And Dale Jr. of course.

Will be fun to see guys like the Busch brothers, Jimmie, and Austin Dillon who have pretty much zero iRacing experience. There’s guys like Majeski and Hill who are running with a G29 hooked up to an old laptop or monitor and others like Hamlin and Busch who are using five-figure sim rigs.

 

[Blood Eagle]

The stands are packed!

 

[Dylan]

Man Junior almost had him. If he hadn’t hit Hamlin off the corner he could have side drafted him to the line.

 

[Blood Eagle]

God dang cheatin’ yoters!

 

[Northstar]

Once Clint is done driving they need to get him on commentary full-time.

 

[Blitz24]

Positives of the race: Friendly banter and complete confusion of Mike Joy it seems.
Negatives: No way to interview anyone other than Clint or Landon.
Other: Jimmie needs a better internet provider.

 

[Dolph Drago]

That was more enjoyable than I was expecting. Great finish to boot.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

That was extremely worth the wait

Why did Kyle Busch do so poorly in the iRace? This was streamed Saturday, he doesn't seem to know anything about iRacing.

That’s exactly why he did so poorly, I don’t think he or his brother (or Jimmie Johnson) had ever been on iRacing. It was definitely the guys who have spent a lot of time on it over the years who were racing for the win.

He didn’t take it very seriously like Hamlin did. He was hanging around the back and got mixed up in some wrecks. Then attrition started working in his favor and was up around 12th and then he T-Boned that car. I don’t think he had any resets left after that.

I just find it funny that they used iracing instead of NASCAR platform, except NASCAR games suck. Also no way of controlling race with anything NASCAR games have.

If this all blows over fast enough we could be having some very interesting race weekends.

The most recent NASCAR game is actually decent for a change. But I’m guessing they went with iracing since they’ve been running a series using it for about a decade (if not more).

I still laughed when Clint said he couldn't hear his crew chief because all he could hear was Dale Jr. angrily yelling.

Well, it wasn't live and is edited down, but I'll take it.

Exactly what we were looking for. I get the feeling some of the spicier commentary was cut out but it's a start
