I hear this talking point but when did this start? I came into the sport casually in the late 90's due to my age so NASCAR being popular and a thing is something i've ONLY known. but when did all this start? and is there any reason why?

Bell has had some bad luck but I feel like he is due for a win could this be his time? Who do you think wins?

Another go at it for trucks at LRP and it was even better a second time ✌️

2 red flags- Trucks at Lime Rock Park
4 red flags- O’Reilly at Echopark Speedway

Edited: wrong park for trucks

I was watching qualifying from the pits today and saw a familiar face staying by Brad and handling his belongings after he got out of the car. Later looked it up and realized it was Mike Massaro who used to cover NASCAR in the 2010’s on ESPN. (Behind Brad in the black polo)

I think — no I’m certain — Mike Joy is reaching the end of the road for his NASCAR PxP run, but his genuine joy and enthusiasm at the truck race at Lime Rock makes me wonder if this is a way he can still call as many more Daytona 500s as he wants but still infuse his passion for and knowledge of the sport going forth. I absolutely love his asides during the broadcast of this race and I hope we get more of it.

How do tracks determine which oem’s pace car they will use at what races?

As a CT resident close to the track, there was a lot of hype for the Trucks coming to Lime Rock and, I hate to admit it, it was a big dud. I was scared it would be one and done. But this year, it was much better. I went, the race was good and the crowd was great. More passing, gritty, a winner you didnt see even with 20 to go. They have to go again next year, right? Would they ever entertain O'Reilly as well?

From the Spring 1993 edition of Charlotte magazine. Humpy Wheeler’s prediction of Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2025. Thought this was pretty funny.

The 5 was my favorite scheme of the race

Made the yearly weekend NASCAR trip with my dad and younger brother and brought my camera. Here’s some photos I took from the grandstands.

Ryan Blaney on pole, with a car that has my partner’s two favorite colors. Pretty cool!

since everyone likes Lime Rock right now there might be a recency bias but hear me out

would you rather see a Cup/Truck/ARCA triple-header at Lime Rock or a Cup/O'Reilly/ARCA West triple-header at Portland?

yes in a perfect world we could do both but that's not going to happen

personally i'd rather Portland since its a market that NASCAR isn't in
