Racing Discussion Thread

Apparently Penske Racing is switching back to Ford after this season concludes...

Which means there could be the possibility of no Dodges next season (unless they try to pick up another team to make up for it)

-_-

Seems NASCAR has gone full retard shutting down videos on YouTube.

MotorsportCentral who hosted a ton of NASCAR videos on his channel no longer exists as of yesterday and MT89Motorsports has all of his NASCAR videos set to Private. There were also a shitload of streams being shut down during SpeedWeeks.

They're officiall going FOM on us it seems.

Go figure... bet they start taking down the old races too.

It also wouldn't surprise me if Front Row switched to Dodge's next season.

and the NASCAR Youtube page has every video blocked in Canada.....

TBR has sponsorship for both cars this weekend with Ollie's Bargain Outlet returning to the 36 and Accel Construction returns to TBR on the 10 car for Reutimann.

Nice to see them getting sponsorship with both teams!

Lame. RIP Dodge.

Dunno why hes switching but oh well.. Thought they were doing just fine with Dodge. Now we won't even get to see the 2013 Charger even run.

The only multi-car team I can see dumping their current manufacturer is Front Row Motorsports.

Looks like Milka Duno will be running the full ARCA schedule for Eddie Sharp Racing. She and Cale Gale switch numbers for this ARCA race though. SHe is in the #6, he is in the #33 at Mobile. She will probably make her Truck debut in ESR's 3rd truck since I doubt Skinner is gonna have enough sponsorship to run full time.

Figures she gets a good ride over someone who deserves it

Pretty Cool

would love to see this track in 2k3

I think caleb tried to make this a while ago, airport circuits are awesome

I think I'm turning into a Casey Roderick fan. He has done a stellar job so far this season.

Some changes to the Global Rallycross schedule. Las Vegas has been moved from the first race to the last race of the season. Atlanta is now subject to change because there is apparently not enough space for GRC.

Ana Beatriz did an evaluation test today with Andretti Autosport.

Incredibly good field for ARCA this weekend based on practice.

Top 10 so far:
Alex Bowman
Cale Gale
Frank Kimmel
Brennan Poole
Tyler Reddick
Tom Hessert
Brian Keselowski
Erik Jones
Grant Enfinger
Ryan Reed

Milka Duno P30...

Jared Marks ended up 6th.

SAFER designer talks about fences:

Quote :

I think that having posts in close proximity to the wire is the problem. I am afraid that many people want to say that if we just move the posts behind the fence, all would be well. Nothing could be further from the truth. Having the posts behind the netting is akin to being shot in the head with a .38 instead of a .357. Most of the time, the outcome is the same. I want to get rid of the gun [posts], not reduce the powder behind the bullet.

Ryan Dungey will not race tomorrows race at Daytona.. Basically handing the title to Ryan Villopoto.. Sucks but unless James can get on one hell of a roll its basically over. Oh well, can't wait for the race tomorrow night in Daytona!

Cope Twins will run the #34 Nationwide car starting at Richmond most likely. Their team is literally a marketing agency. Their budget is small, but they have a steady stream of small sponsorships. Twins are supposed to run near 20 races.

Great...

Watching Sadlers racebuddy feed, pretty entertaining with the spotter and stuff, I feel like im in the race with him.

ESPN3 is showing the Gatornationals live today. Round 1 of Funny Cars is on right now.

Disregard the times on this schedule because it's already way off.
