Also, BTCC Sunday at 6:30 am EST on ITV4. The Blancpain Endurance Series kicks of their first race this weekend at Monza. 57 GT3 cars entered.

Only put races that the majority of us watch/care about

Apparently Chevrolet changed all 11 engines on all 11 cars. So they will all receive a 10 grid spot penalty... Not sure why IndyCar is penalizing them.

In that case....


I also forgot about World Touring Car and AutoGP on the Marrakech street circuit.

Also Indycar has a rule about blowing or changing engines, or something like that.

If one of the IndyCar motors do not make it past 1,850 miles they will penalize anyone who gets a new motor because of them trying their hardest to make the motor perform on the edge and blow up on that 1,851st mile

so the one time the ALMS race is on TV almost live is on at the same time as the cup race

There are a record 57 GT3 cars entered for the Blancpain Endurance Series...I remember monday morning we were entertained by a GT3 race that had 12 cars. In the 57 cars there are:

Audi R8 LMS-6
BMW Z4 GT3-7
Dodge Viper-1
Ferrari 458-17
Lamborghini Gallardo LP520-1
McLaren MP4-12C-10
Mercedes SLS AMG GT3-5
Nissan GT-R GT3-1
Porsche 997 GT3R-8

There will be a radio feed of the South Boston WSMT/LM Twin 75 races on NASCAR Home Tracks as well as live updates when Radio Coverage isn't on at SPEED51

Mike Joy said if you can't make it down to Rockingham this weekend but you have a little bit of spare money, you can buy a ticket for one of the army guys at a base near the track.

That's pretty awesome! I think the Wauters truck has that program on their truck this weekend, hopefully a lot of people who bought tix just to buy them did that.

ALMS Q is on ESPN3.

and it be rainin

NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway in Charlotte is also this weekend.

^ cheesiest yhing ever

such a cheesy yhing

Texas race was pretty decent considering the Cup guys that were in it. I kinda wish Menard would've won honestly though, he needs something good to happen lol

Hopefully those light issues won't happen tomorrow though...

Luciano Bacheta won the first F2 race of the year. 15 year old Matheo Tuscher started on pole, which is very impressive because this is his first weekend in any kind of an open wheel car.

If cup race gets hella boring, Speed51 and Nascar Hometracks are doing live radio for the Southern Modified race at South Boston as well as the twin late model races

It's gonna be raining for the cup race most likely anyways

From what I can tell, tehre is a 20% chance of rain at the track today during hte day which increases to a 50% chance tonight.

ALMS is going to be more entertaining btw. Its likely to be a dry race, and only the GTC cars have gotten 1 lap of practice in somewhat dry conditions. Most teams haven't even turned 5 laps of practice due to there being so much water yesterday.
