40 minutes of racing and there’s already been 4 yellow flags… how can they even call this racing? They’ve spent more time watching replays of crashes than watching the cars actually “race” /End Rant ---

because people crash/spinout at ~200mph Regardless thought it was a great race, little slow in the beginning but nice to see a rookie take the win. Although all his god crap he was spewing could have been left at home ---

NASCAR engines and the technology in the cars is amazing. to spin 9k rpm and maintain a 200mph speed for 500 miles, while turning. thats amazing. especially for a dumpy pushrod 358cu/in american made pile of scrap metal ---

If you think you can hold a 10lb weight in front of you for like 5 hrs then you can call it pussy shit. Those cars making that much power and literally in the back bumper of the car in front of them at 200mph is pretty awesome. I rode in Dale Sr’s car at Daytona and in just 3 laps at 160 in the turns and 180 on the strait the g-force that put on your body is incredible. I had the oppertunity to do this the year before he crashed. it was one of the most amazing things i’ve ever done and ill never forget what it felt like. ---
