2024 General Auto Racing Thread

Logano is likely going to get fined for what he did on pit road spinning his tires. NASCAR officials weren't happy with that.

Also, WTF was Dillon's wife, his child and others doing standing in the pit box area, trying to cross pit road when cars are still coming down it. Stupid.

[DoubleK]

I do like the option tires. That was the best short track race of the year. Spring Bristol wasn't much of a race as it was attrition.

Whoa. Nascar finally got something right for a change.

[KelVarnsen]

Probably the best way to handle it too

[Drake]

RCR plans to appeal. Watch them lose the appeal and NASCAR decides to increase the penalties. Lol

I’ve never been more excited to root against a specific team.

Should have called Joel Edmonds, we know he loves Austin Dillion. lmao

@Bobpockrass:
Brett Griffin is listed as spotter for Austin Dillon this weekend at Michigan. Team won't ask for deferral of spotter Brandon Benesch's suspension as part of its appeal

[Drake]

Six Sprint Car wins in a row for Kyle Larson as he wins the High Limit race at Tulare over Rico Abreu and Brad Sweet.

He’s on another planet right now. This is nearing 2020 type run for Larson.

[DoubleK]

That cushion was super technical, nobody could run it like Larson. 1/2 mile big track or tight bullring, it doesn't matter right now. Whatever Larson and Silva have hit on is pretty magical right now.

Pretty rotten luck for Tanner Holmes to break a frame in qualifying, it didn't even look like that bad of a hit either. Those guys have been hard on equipment this year. That's like the third one this year, and I think the one they junked tonight was recently fixed.

Was looking forward to catching the High Limit guys at Skagit, but I will be on vacation that week.

I am completely heartbroken. I have a signed diecast on my desk.

What a loss for the dirt community. He was an icon. He did what he wanted, said what he wanted. Fly high Black Sunshine.

[DoubleK]

I don't even want to watch racing tonight, I'm that upset.

The World 100 is going to be very different without Bloomer. I hope they do something really special for him. There needs to be a missing man on every 4wide for the rest of the year.

[Drake]

NASCAR will run the 2025 Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. The ice bowl is going to be a clown show lol

Yo Drake, did you watch the Gold Cup from Chico last night?

What did you think of how Larson's streak ended?

[KelVarnsen]

#11 Gibbs team ####ed up and got hit with big penalty

Racing deal for the lead in traffic. Could Sanders have waited a lap, yes, could Larson of lifted, yes. Clearly, Larson made a terrible lap and half before the contact.

IMO, Larson races the same way, but most people lift for him. Larson chose to stick to Sanders RR, which, like for most, never ends well on a 1/4 mile bullring. I bet Larson would tell ya “I put myself in a vulnerable spot”


Sanders literally cried about the same thing happening to him last week. That part pisses me off. You watch enough racing you know #### like this just happens.

[DoubleK]

We will agree to disagree, as did the fans.

Sanders straight up junked him.

[KelVarnsen]

NASCAR needs to fix the next gen car. It flips too easy.

[Drake]

Get rid of the ####ing underbody NASCAR! You are going to kill someone.

[Drake]

He went below the yellow line lol

[DoubleK]

Plate racing is so dum.

So so dum.
