Damn. Bubba has had absolute shit luck this year
If only he was as good of a driver as NASCAR makes him out to be. All of their promo photos and things have Larson, Chase, Hamlin, Truex and Bubba. When they are showing 3 champs, a 54 win driver and a guy with 2 wins it would seem the guy with 2 wins, and one of those being a rain shortened race, doesn't fit in as the elite of the sport.

I used to pull for Bubba to succeed but after the whole "noose" on the garage door that Bubba and NASCAR tried to make into a racial issue when it turned out that the rope was used to close the door and that it was tied that way a year earlier, I have just soured on him. He and NASCAR should have came out and apologized to the rest people in the garage that they accused of being racist and instead one of the announcers, I believe it was Rick Allen, doubled down on more than 1 occasion and called it a noose for several months afterward talking about what Bubba had to endure and the noose. I'm sure Bubba has dealt with some stuff from fans in person and on social media but I highly doubt the ones in the garage have ever treated him differently and NASCAR threw them under the bus to prove a point of how diverse they are.

Of course, a caution with 10 to go killing the momentum of what was shaping up to be a great finish. Bet they wind the laps all the way down to a GWC finish. Regardless of how many at the restart, really hate they couldn't finish under a green flag run.
 
Penske cars can run like crap all year and then do what they need to in the final 10 races. They have taken over the Johnson/Knaus formula for success.

Pretty impressive. Logano has looked pretty bad for most of the season but you know he’s going to the champ 4.

For all things,,, A Walmart sign falling on the track. Second time in three years a sign posted on / near the track has fallen and brought out a caution. Might want to make sure those things are more secure if you are going to allow them to be displayed over the track. Nothing to do with racing, but had a lot to do with the race finish.
 
Thought it was cool to see Juan Pablo Montoya back in NASCAR for the Watkins Glen race. Wouldn't mind to see him run more of the road course/street course events in the future like Boris Said would do for years.
 
So I'm not a Nascar afficionado but I have enjoyed watching the last few weeks.

For those in the know, I have three questions.

1. Does Corey Lajoie wreck half the field every race or only the ones that I watch?

2. Why is there an Aussie Bloke doing Play By Play?

3. Is Nascar trying to replace the Rebel Flag with the Kiwi Flag?

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance

I actually enjoy listening to the Aussie Dude. I think it creates a different feel and he is very informative. It does seem that he always has to get in a Marcos Ambrose story though 😅

Have the complete NASCAR broadcasting lineups been officially announced for 2025 with all of the network changes? So far, all I know is the Cup Booth on FOX is the same. Dale Jr. on Amazon/Discovery/TNT, haven't seen the color commentator announced. Have read rumors about Letarte and Marty Smith being apart of the crew. CW has all of the Xfinity races and Rick Allen going there with Burton & Letarte starting Friday. NBC in 2025 I assume still Burton, maybe Letarte unless he leaves. Leigh Diffey was still doing IMSA races and Indy Car until recently. FOX Sports picked up Indy Car starting in 2025. Would he go there? Adam Alexander out of the Xfinity Series, no more Race Hub. Does a few Truck races when Jamie Little is not the color commentator. One of these networks should pick up Allen Bestwick, Dr. Jerry Punch and Matt Yocum.
 
Can we keep this a NASCAR thread ? He didn't post anything off topic, kept it civil. Why bring the political thread here ? BS. We have enough of that already without stoking the flames in this and other threads people are posting in. Private message him, no need to post the "look at me" off topic BS. JMO, I may be wrong.

That political thread is perhaps the greatest concentration of comedy on the internet. Somehow every single nutjob who is a UK fan found it and they post incessantly about hilarious shit. It’s gold, Jerry….gold.

Also, if I used the N word on here, it would be a ban, not a thread ban. I just laugh because it’s the only logical thing to do when reading their gibberish.

A select few of them are somewhat capable of posting relevant replies in other threads, but most are brain dead by this point. Trump is literally all they can talk about.
