~Stats correct as of S4 Bud Shootout

The Bud Shootout doesn't count as a Sprint Cup start. It's not a points race.

I think I've spotted our first team update. 👍

I think I've spotted our first team update. 👍

That's right. I'm going to try and keep everything updated right after the races so I don't forget, it'll be easier that way.

Speaking of which...

Here's the new Career Average Finish spreadsheet. I've changed a lot of the formatting (let me know what you think), and updated the stats following yesterday's race. Remember, the Bud Shootout results are only displayed on the final tab, under Exhibitions. The results are NOT counted anywhere else in the entire spreadsheet (Career, Oval, Daytona, etc).

I just had a dream about the Daytona 500. For some reason, some drivers (one of which was Gokartman) were using trucks instead, and at one point I got wrecked but caught back up because the trucks were so slow in corners.

Later I got a PM from Knelly who said he was Neljack's dad, and the rest of the dream was kinda random. But yeah, you get my point.

And me being Neljack's dad isn't random? funny dream. You're playing too much GT5 mate 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

Drop, seriously epic work 👍

Carb, you are going mental

Yep, good work Drop 👍

Got bored, here's a total milage from the last weekend, didn't account for the NW and Truck races before this week, pre-season starts from Friday in my World.

Edit: And if things go to plan, I'll be just over 1,000 after Saturday.

You should go back and add up all the miles we've run in our 40 total races. I'd love to know the number.

 

[cgr-10]

You should add the IndyCar miles aswell when we get started, I'd like to see how many I rack up over the course of an entire NASCAR/Indy season.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

How did I get 17 miles? I did one lap and then got disconnected.

Thought you did like 7?

Nope was dumped on the 1st racing lap and the pretty much got dc’d ¾ of the way round the 2nd lap

Just finished watching SC at the Glen. What a race, that was awesome. Glen reminds me a little of Monza / Suz.E combined. Great racing both #9 and a great weekend for BK. 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

Just reminded me... we have talked about a Road America style track especially in Nationwide... how about Spa?

And I thought the all-star was Motegi this season?

 

[cgr-10]

Although I've been following NASCAR for a year or so, I've not seen much road racing in the past and what really surprised me was how much kerb those guys use. I mean, they're literally 4 wheels on the rumble strips at every chicane and running 10 metres wide on every other exit.

I wasn't aware that Finns liked spicy foods.

We are taking sign-ups for the newest addition to GTP America, the Grand Am sports car series. This series is sanctioned by PURE and hosted by Tom. It would be great to get some Sprint Cup guys in this even if it is only for 1 or 2 races.

Season 4 of the GTP NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is now up and running. This season opens up with the annual Budweiser Shootout, held at Daytona International Speedway. Powerhouse team Hendrick Motorsports comes in with all 3 trophies from this event, having the two-time defending winner, ACDCROCKS123, and the season 1 winner, RFLX_Niop. Can they make it a clean sweep, claiming the 4th trophy this season? We'll find out this Saturday.

Nope
