Needs to be hard and make drivers uncomfortable. Running full to half throttle isn't it.

Agree

If you watch the video, I posted earlier, in this thread, most of the drivers wanted it harder; however, that tire went too far.

Thought yesterday's races were just okay. The last couple of laps in the Xfinity were good and congrats to Larson. Hopefully today we see some good racing. The Fords just looked flat out bad yesterday for practice and qualifying.

For the F1 fans, its nice seeing Ferrari finish P1 and P2. Verstappen with mechanical issues and left the race early…

I was only watching during some of the down time in the BB games, but man, what a snooze fest. To each their own on liking formats, but I have zero interest in watching another of these road courses

It wasn't the best that's for sure. That track is way too big for stock cars. The Gen 7 car has been a mess for short track and road courses.

I wasn't able to watch the race. What was so bad with it? Also, was last years race that bad?

I wouldn't say bad. The 24 was the class, if you are a purist this was your race. The only real issue is that the car handles too good.

SVG is going to be a force to be reckoned with in Nascar. He has the ability like other great drivers like Earnhardt Sr. to make a race car perform a level or two better than it would normally perform.

Agree. SVG is going to make some noise for sure.

The road race guys rose to the top, I see. Surprised at the results of the 5 and 9 car..

The 9 got hit with a late race penalty for cutting in the Ses. The 5, I believe got spun.

Not bad at all. Seems like the Netflix series has had a part in this?

Cool deal. I need to look it up, but I think the race is already sold out.

SINKHOLE UNEARTHS RUMORED MOONSHINE CAVE UNDERNEATH FRONTSTRETCH GRANDSTANDS

https://www.northwilkesborospeedway.com/media/sinkhole-unearths-rumored-moonshine-cave-underneath-frontstretch-grandstands.html


During grandstand cleaning and inspection last week, operations staff discovered cracks in the original concrete in section N. Crews began removing seats to inspect the extent of the damage and evaluate needs for repair. During the process, an open area of approximately 700-square-feet was discovered underneath the aging concrete.

When we began renovating and restoring North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2022, we'd often hear stories of how an old moonshine still was operated here on the property under the grandstands," said Steve Swift, senior vice president of operations and development at Speedway Motorsports. "Well, we haven't found find a still (yet), but we've found a small cave and an interior wall that would have been the perfect location to not only make illegal liquor, but to hide from the law as well. We don't know how people would have gotten in and out, but as we uncover more, there's no telling what we might find."

Glad nobody was sitting there. As someone who attends a lot of races, some of these places need a over hall.

So I just got back yesterday from a 17 day trip out west... left at 3:00 AM on Tuesday, March 12 and pulled back in late morning yesterday.

Missed Bristol. Missed Texas. Missed the entire ACC Tournament. In fact, I've only seen the second half of the Texas Tech game when we got back from the Nuggets / Knicks game in Denver that night...

Apparently Byron had a rough go of things in Bristol (I have zero idea of what happened to him, just know that he had a terrible finishing position), but then he wins at COTA... the Wolfpack wins 7 in a row including the ACC Tournament. Maybe I should go on these trips more often.

Drove back and forth across the country - I love it for some reason, I guess - home base out there at my daughter's in Colorado Springs, then did a spring break trip with my 11 year old grandson through Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and back to Colorado (I still owe PackChem and Souljer my writeup from last year's trip so maybe I'll knock it out here soon, lol).

I saw Jokic play in person, that crazy ****er had a triple-double like three minutes into the second half and ends up with 30... that was the night that he threw one up from behind the backboard, rolled it across the top and drops it through... dude is literally 2-3 steps ahead of everyone else on the court in his thinking at all times... it was absolutely fascinating to watch.

2 wins for Byron already boys... you guys better watch out.

The 24 is running great right now. I'm worried about Ford at this point....
