Is this your first time watching NASCAR? It's mostly commercials.

It didn't used to be like this!

Admittedly, that was 13 years ago.

 

[Vicious]

It's not like we're missing anything when they go to commercial.

 

[Juicy Bob]

This race has to have the least lead changes of any Daytona 500 I've seen in my seven years of watching them.

EDIT: Side-by-side's back. Thought they were saving them til the end.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Danica has no intention of finishing 11th in this race...she's going to make a big move you can be sure of it.

EDIT: SBS for the rest of the race, thank god.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Someone needs to go 2 wide so we can see some action.

 

[TylerD]

Someone needs to go 2 wide so we can see some action.

Someone goes 2 wide without help and they will drop like a rock.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Danica moves up a spot.

EDIT: Later Toyota...LOL

 

[JetBlackPanda]

No tires and she only moved up 1

 

[B.K.]

I'd like to see Mark Martin win the 500, but it's never going to happen.

Truex blowing up. TRD's engines are garbage.

 

[Chris R]

Jr screwing it up in the pits again?

And another Toyota engine goes boom

 

[Elfforkusu]

The aero with this rules package is so screwed up. Watching Jr oscillate back and forth down the back stretch, he never got within a couple feet of the guy in front or behind him. And you know everybody is going flat out...

 

[weekend_warrior]

Another Toyota out! HAHA!

 

[B.K.]

Burton hit the wall hard.

 

[TylerD]

The pit for position of this race is not too different from F1 in the past.

Less passing for restrictor plate races is not a bad trade off if the racing on other tracks is better with this car.

 

[digita1alchemy]

Hold on to your butts.

 

[TylerD]

Ole 5-time is out there in the front now. Not a bad bet.

 

[Juicy Bob]

 

[GhostWriter24]

Here we go, boys.

They'll have to experiment if they want the racing better. On the plus side, somebody's going to have to try really hard to get a car in the stands when the cars are spaced out like they've been.

Boring is safer.

 

[weekend_warrior]

2 wide! Now we're racin'!

 

[TylerD]

Inside line is boned. Maybe not...

 

[Chris R]

No way this stays caution free until the end of the race, even with the upper lane having such a lead

 

[GhostWriter24]

Fuck me this is intense.

 

[Juicy Bob]

The Hendrick guys are trying to make the bottom line work.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Johnson is charging.

EDIT: He's got it, Hamlin pushing him.

 

[Parch]

'bout time for some racing. High line conservative isn't going to win it.

 

[TylerD]

Seriously?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Side by side my asshole... Damn Fox!

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Jesus Christ, Danica has a shot to win this damn thing.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Big One is incoming. I expect it around 7 to go.

 

[weekend_warrior]

If Danica get to the bottom lane and lets Johnson push her I think she might have a chance.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Side by side = 15% of the screen.

 

[TylerD]

Best fucking racing of the day and we are eating commercials.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Gordon is going to wreck with them going 3-wide back there and take out a ton of folks.

If Danica and Junior can partner up, they can take off.

 

[B.K.]

Someone is getting ready to screw up and cause a big wreck.

 

[GhostWriter24]

JJ driving a wounded soldier in 1st.

 

[Juicy Bob]

No way this stays green for 10 laps.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Oh boy. Phantom caution?

 

[B.K.]

Goddamn NASCAR.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Gotta say, Dale Jr was incredible that last run.

And yes, typical NASCAR bs caution.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

NO NOT CAUTION NOW.

Looks like we're going to have a GWC.

 

[Parch]

what was the caution for? tin foil?

 

[Vicious]

Keselowski took care of the debris

 

[weekend_warrior]

Damn Danica, get out from behind those Fords! They're not fast enough, she's gotta follow Johnson.

 

[TylerD]

At least we could see the debris that time.

 

[NihonTiger90]

NO NOT CAUTION NOW.

Looks like we're going to have a GWC.

[GhostWriter24]

Chunk of aluminum hit lead car.

[JetBlackPanda]

Damn Jr. made a huge run that last stretch!!!

If Johnson wins this I'm gonna be so pissed.

 

[rangersfan414]

So what happened to side by side all the way to the end?

 

[TylerD]

So what happened to side by side all the way to the end?

*when not under caution

This is going to be goooood
