I figured he'd end up there. Also glad they secured the #45. (MJ's first number from high school, also the number he used during his stint with the White Sox in the minor leagues.)
 
I would have preferred them to stay where they were, but moving the numbers forward was the lesser of the 3 evils in my mind so I'm not too bothered by it.

It is a good idea in theory but it is too early to tell if the food will be like at the tracks or just generic.
 
The Xfinity race has been postponed to tomorrow at 12:30PM ET.

There's apparently one 15 minutes from me, I would be tempted to try it if the prices weren't absolutely ridiculous (and would likely be cold by the time it got here and pickup doesn't seem to be an option).

As for the food itself, I have to imagine it would be fairly generic since the locations usually serve several "virtual" restaurants on top of their brick & mortar purpose. The location by me is in a Buca di Beppo, so they have to cook their menu plus Guy Fieri's Flavortown, Wing Squad, Larray's Loaded Mac, Foodgod Truffle Fries, P.za Kitchen, Tyga Bites and this NASCAR thing*.

*Full Disclosure: I haven't actually tried any virtual restaurants, but the fact one kitchen is handling so many different menu's doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
 
There isn't one anywhere close to me, so I won't be trying it anytime soon. There is a menu in the link. Burgers, dogs, and pimento cheese sandwiches. Didn't see any prices but it can't be cheap.
 
After seeing how worked up people are getting about the numbers moving forward I am now 100% behind the decision. :lol:

The classic hot dog and pimento cheese sandwich are tied for the cheapest entrée at $7. It's a shame it's so expensive though as the Draft Burger ($9.49 for just the burger) sounds pretty tasty, but once you add fries and a drink you might as well go to Five Guys and get your money's worth.

I found this on Twitter. Of course this is before delivery fees, taxes, and driver tips.

There's one of these 15 minutes from my house.

This is not a discovery I needed to make.
 
I just realized that with 23XI's alliance with JGR, Kyle and Kurt are going to be quasi-teammates next year.

Pretty much every Doordash experience I've had resulted in the place I ordered from either forgetting part of my order or just not making it correctly. It's becoming more of a common complaint too, and what you described is pretty much the reason why, so I can't see this being much more than a one-and-done novelty thing for most people anyway.

It really wouldn't surprise me if 23XI became much more akin to a JGR satellite team over the next couple years as a result. I'm definitely starting to get some mid-late 90's Roush/Hendrick/Childress "mega-team" vibes from this.

I don't use the Twitter, so I missed that, thanks. Prices seem to be in line with the food vendors at the track, which I try to avoid and instead eat something at my car before going in or bring my own sandwich in to the track.
 
Kaulig sure is having a great August! :D
This didn't happen just by accident or overnight. Kaulig has been diligently working for years to get to this day. They first came to my attention a few years ago when it seemed like their car was being DQ'd and penalized for infractions at an alarming rate.
 
20 to go and you don't take tires. I don't know. Might have been a risky gamble. As the 8 is involved in a wreck.

I missed most of the race thus far, but that was my major thought during the last round of stops.

Red flag out, looks like Reddick is stranded on the track?

Edit: I honestly had no idea that the Cup car's battery was directly in front of the Left-rear tire. That's a bit unexpected.

Edit 2: Buscher going mad with the blocks!

Why this blocking tread is stupid example one million: Golden boy ruins his race and most everyone else’s.

Jeez, Matt was having such a good run. That was such a dumb move by Elliot.

Well, unless Bubba pulls off a God Roll, this is Buscher's race to lose.

Yes it was, Chase had plenty of time to recover from a pass with fresh tires.
