We need rain in the USA so it's a good thing lmao

[vital chasm]

Michael McDowell

[weak solar]

I want an truex win so he will get into the playoffs

[slender musk]

It always rains where I'm at

[karmic island]

Better be Kimi or I’m going to have to step in

[grizzled tree]

why on race day

[shell belfry]

Hopefully anyone but Elliot or Larson

[minor monolith]

Hey Junior, put a lot of Rain-X and drive fast, no wipers needed

Anyone but a Joe Gibbs or Hendricks Car for me

[thorn hawk]

kimi looks confused

[gleaming totem]

Was at that race something was definitely up with the 11 and 18

[thorn hawk]

and kvyat looks so young

[eternal ravine]

He's a rookie ofc he is

[minor monolith]

Yes he does, because he can drive in the rain meanwhile the rest of the pussies whine about getting wet.

[ebon acorn]

my one question

why the fuck did no-one think to test these cars in the rain

[eternal ravine]

Kimi has experienced Malaysia 2009 and Belgium 2021. This should be nothing for him

[obsidian hare]

BLUE SKY

[lethal yacht]

Because they would’ve had to wait for it to rain at a track and then give teams the time to prepare for it

[slender musk]

dump some buckets of water on the track

ezpz

I think Chase has won all his rain races

[chilly vector]

Nascar races mostly at ovals AND they race every single week basically but dudes "why didn't they test??!?!? America so dumb!"

[wispy latch]

Chase gonn win the 2022 champ

[ember rampart]

They should just push it onto monday imo

[dusty hill]

Not every but close

[slender musk]

i have school on monday

[ember rampart]

[hexed crystal]

His odds are like +250 for the championship

[halcyon pewter]

Cursed kimi image

[slender musk]

[autumn briar]

[slender musk]

No

Nascar is gonna start today

[lethal yacht]

Come on

[ember rampart]

At 9 ofc

[dusty hill]

There going now

[chilly vector]

Meanwhile f1 doesn't test at all nowadays so we have porpoising issues up and down the grid

[vital chasm]

That 2020 Xfinity race at the Roval was one of the greatest races I've ever had the privilege to watch. It was so fun & chaotic

[buoyant shale]

Ye

shut up NASCAR Drive we don't want f1 live

AD sports is a sports website from Saudi Arabia, and they have official connections. So, it’s completely legal.

[eternal ravine]

Wtf is a Kilo

[magic egret]

LaJoie starts at the back for Stage 3

[tepid elbow]

P30 I think he pitted with 3 to go

[slender musk]

JOEY LOGANO

[tepid elbow]

[eternal ravine]

Its so universal, like every racing series uses it

[karmic island]

Oh

[buoyant shale]

There's something special about seeing the flagman wave the white flag for the final lap
Makes you go oh fuck gotta pay attention

[plucky lynx]

Him pitting before the stage ends could actually be big brain since he obv is fighting for the play offs so he could just be putting to be better off in the last stage?

[eternal ravine]

I deadass thought F1 had white flags until I realised they didnt

[slender musk]

lol

[magic egret]

But then, the checkered flag is green and white? And you go, what?

[magic egret]

[buoyant shale]

Wait does GT racing have white flags I don't remember

JPM> Denny Hamlin

[buoyant shale]

[dense knot]

Man idk, back when I remotely followed nascar they didn't do a playoff nor phases or any of this other weird format stuff
