    Not quite the season opener,as it's a exhibition/cash prize race,but the Busch Clash is on tonight,midnight Irish time.And while at Daytona International Speedway as normal,it's going to be on the roadcourse,or the Roval as the Yanks call it,half of the infield and half on the banking.Won't watch it live,as its a school night,but will catch the replay tomorrow hopefully.

    Any idea of who is carrying the broadcasts this year? Is it Premier Sports again?

    It's on Premier sports 2 right now. Race hasn't started yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Austin Cindric won the xfinity race last night, could he do the same in the 500 tonight ?

    Toyotas look strong but this race will probably come down to the last ten laps and the probable 'big one' taking out a few contenders.

    Live on Premier Sports 2 tonight

    If he does, the Internet will have a meltdown considering how many of them were baffled as to why he got in the race when Ty didn't.

    Cindric was almost a certainty for the race given that he was in a Penske , if there is any bafflement it's around how Derrike Cope starting despite being miles off the pace due to the charter system.

    Ty Dillon should be in the race but he lost out to 4 other drivers not just Cindric.

    Driers on the track, hopefully get going again in the next half hour or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Well that was one long night. And eventually at 5am, a less-than-one-year Tánaiste won the race after the Penskes seppuku'd.

    It's hard to believe its 20 years since we lost the intimidator Dale Earnhardt.
    I recall Martin Brundle, who has raced Dale in iroc ,commenting that Earnhardt could make a car do things on the track.that shouldn't have been possible.

    Never realised that F1 star Danny Ricciardo use of #3 in F1 was inspired by Earnhardt whom Danny Ric was a huge fan of and a fan of his 'intimidator ' style.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,934 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Earnhardt was incredible, loved watching him.

    I hated him as a driver,a bully on the track,when he had'nt the speed to pass you on the track he basically bet you into the wall,where's the skill in that??When he was introduced to the crowd at the start of the race 60% of the crowd would cheer wildly,me and my da and about 10% of the other fans used to boo as loud as we could.You'd want to see the Earnhardt fans turn to look at us,we used to give an extra boo and smile at them!!!Great banter! He drove his motorhome past us at Darlington in 1990,this was on the Wednesday,hardly a sinner around,me and my da gave him thumb's up all the same.We were impressed he was staying in the pits all week,as opposed to a flash hotel.
    So I liked him as a person,in fact I cried at the telly when he hit the wall and the aftermath.You could tell by all the marshals/medic's reaction's at his car that it was'nt going to be good news.

    Daytona Roval is on now. Should be fun!

    Lots of damage happening from minor little things. Going to be a long evening of watching this.

    Come on Chase!

    Interesting call for wet weather. I'm hoping drivers go for it on slicks.

    Enjoyed that race -good track - surprised there wasn't a wreck at the end - some questionable blocking !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,934 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    What a weekend for Joe Gibbs, his grandson wins his first ever Xfinity race and then his new young driver wins the Cup race.
    I was looking at next weekends race and Truex, Hamlin and Kyle have one win each. Bell could do two in a row.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭easygoing39


    Good race,the 24 won it well in the end.Shocking how Logano and Blaney fell off the pace as the track cooled,even Bubba beat them!!!

    Very tough track, stay low early and go high later. Really is set up for the likes of Truex and Larson.
    I mention them because starting near the front always seems to be a huge bonus on this track.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Some great speeds and racing so far. It's going to get tastier towards the end..

    Vegas had great racing in the 1st 2 Stages,but the last stage settled down very quickly and it basically follow the leader after that.Larson won it handy enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Both truck and Sprint cup races postponed until tomorrow due to threat of flooding in Bristol.

    Cup on Premier 2.
    Trucks... good luck with that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    I think it's pretty amazing them trying to do this dirt track race. Here's some of the practice showing the track cleaning up on the racing line but the cars still drifting around the bends.

    This race is nuts !

    Hoping overheating doesn't become an issue due to mud building up on the front of the cars


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Carnage!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    I turned it on half hour in, I haven't seen more than 5 laps without a yellow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Talledega is on Freesports at the moment btw, Logano out after flipping and collecting Larson.

    Race will probably be decided by a pile up at the end ,happy to see di Benedetto running so well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,934 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Keselowski got it done, drove well but the win fell into his lap. Nine different winners now through ten races.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Completely forgot about NASCAR this weekend after watching Formula e and Indycar!

    Great race, really enjoyed it.Sorry to see Logano flip out so early.Interesting to see various drivers being strong at the front for a period of time,only to be replaced by another driver eg Bubba,Hamlin,Matty D,Byron. Last lap was something else,as usual on Superspeedways,cars crashing on the last lap only for Brad K to get through and up to the line 1st.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Last 18 laps... Should be good

    The toughest track of them all tonight. Darlington is known as the Lady in Black and the track too tough to tame. Everybody hits the wall here.
    Anyways I fancy Joey Logano tonight, his results have been excellent with the 750 hp package which is in use tonight. Truex has won two races with this package and Hamlin hasn't been outside the top three using this package. I think Matt di Benedetto has a chance as well, he's been driving well and seems to enjoy tough tracks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Will give it a go tonight. Need a race which is unpredictable!

    Great finish, though Larson was going to get there. Truex three wins with the 750hp package now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Some heat in Texas for this race. This All Star system is interesting. $1m up for grabs.

    I've a sneaking suspicion that Alex Bowman will go well tonight. His crew chief Eric Ives was very interesting to listen to the other night.
    Kyle Busch has been getting better by the race so has to have a chance.
    Basically it'll be Busch vs the Hendricks boys I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Noticeably, the TV crew on site and all teams without masks and interviews are up close. And during the Indycar race in Detroit this weekend it was the same. Perhaps things have turned a corner in US.
