NASCAR 2023

i agree there has been little passing other than taking fuel only . once people drop back they just dropped out the back . Truex and others never bothered racing at all

It was a good move from Elliot to win it .

Charlie-Bravo · 09-10-2022 10:14pm

Last couple of laps at Charlotte Roval! We're into overtime baby! Carnage racing.

Nowso · 09-10-2022 10:51pm

Bit mad bell won and got through and Larsson out .

Infoanon · 10-10-2022 12:21am

That was crazy , absolute carnage at the end.

The over turning of Byrons penalty has effectively taken Larson out of the championship.

Bell winning was down to a bit of luck but also going for broke by changing tyres.

Suarez losing out because of another spec part failure - power steering again !! - does not reflect well on Nascar , hopefully a spec part failure won't cost a driver the championship.

Wonder will Cole Custers blocking that allowed Chase Briscoe to gain the vital two places to make the playoffs be investigated? , team manipulation of results is not allowed in Nascar , memories of Michael Waltrip Racing come to mind.

Next week - Las Vegas

I'm not a fan of this next gen car at all and I hate the Roval. Why not use a real track instead of setting up that stupid course?

Bell took.the risk and it paid off, that's part of the game and it's not the first and won't be the last time that it'll be the winning move.

And NASCAR will do nothing about Custer unless there's a huge public outcry and there won't be one.

Infoanon · 30-10-2022 10:52pm

What a way to decide the final 4,

Spoilers :

Think Zanardi at Laguna Seca, that's the level of Ross Chastains move today.

To go from 10th to 5th and into the play offs on the final lap with what has to be the craziest move ever - video game move in the real life !

Ross Chastain tried that move - on a video game - before today , using the wall to go around at top speed on the last corner !

Denny Hamlin looked to have the job done until Ross move.

1 JGR , 1 Penske , 1 Track house and 1 Hendrick will fight it next weekend.

As an aside the TV coverage on the international feed was dire for the last few laps , the picture on screen was Chastain while the commentry was about the leaders door bashing !

XfiniTy championship will also be decided next weekend with TY Gibbs being enemy number one after wrecking his teammate Brandon Jones on the last lap , costing Jones a championship playoff spot......

Literally just watched and and came straight here.

Probably the most insane, ballsy move I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible.

Chastain has improved massively over the last two or so years. He's been the best driver this year I think. I'd love to see him win it.

You describe it well calling it video game stuff. It was surreal.

The Gibbs thing was not only ridiculous but stupid. If he stayed behind Jones he had a teammate in the final four. By doing what he did he's now facing three JR motorsports teammates. All it takes is for one of them to wreck him, and he deserves that, and it's all over.

Nowso · 31-10-2022 2:44pm

Next year the lead cars will all be up against the boards on the home straight to stop anyone doing that again

Gibbs was a bit silly even though i had backed him , i think Gragson Backed out as he didnt wana get wrecked the week before the final run off

Elliot and Bell look favourite for cup and gragson looks the one to beat in the xfinity

eagle eye · 31-10-2022 8:58pm

I can see Gibbs and Gragson getting in a battle with each other and neither go easy in a heated battle. I think Berry could end up winning it.

In the Cup series I certainly wouldn't rule out Chastain. That trackhouse team are pretty serious.

Charlie-Bravo · 06-11-2022 11:21am

The Xfinity race last night was a half decent watch. Just focusing on the championship 4 all race so was exciting enough.

Looking forward to the bigger Sprint Cup cars going around Phoenix, taking the short cut across the apron. Interesting rule about staying above the yellow line on restarts until the car crosses the start/finish line!

TheChrisD · 16-02-2023 1:54am

Uh, did we just lose NASCAR coverage this year following Viaplay's buyout of Premier Sports? I'm looking at the TV schedules and our Premier Sports 1 or 2 is NOT showing Daytona this weekend!

Nowso · 16-02-2023 2:25am

looks like ill be sticking to usa apps

when there on xtra - ex freesports itl likely be available

easygoing39 · 16-02-2023 8:13am

Ireland has lost NASCAR coverage because Premier Sports Ireland was'nt purchased by Viaplay.

Where is viaplay is it on sky

Infoanon · 16-02-2023 9:17am

There is no Premier Sports website anymore but some TV listing sites have the '500' on Premier Sports 2 from early evening.

The schedule on the Sky planner has not been updated and is showing live Top14 Rugby. ..,we live in hope !

Premier Sports 2 EPG :421

Alex Bowman will start from pole - a good way to celebrate a multi year contract extension, with team mate Kyle Larson alongside him.

They ate locked into the race , the other 38 spots will be sorted out tonight in the fuel races.

What channel is it on sky

Nowso · 16-02-2023 10:33am

nascar europe is new not seen that on anything . but will stick to fox app or other usa apps etc for the main stuff

eagle eye · 17-02-2023 6:16am

I watched the two duels. Kyle Busch didn't get to finish but he has a car. Second race was very aggressive. Sundays race could be crazy.

Kyle Bush making his eighteenth attempt to win the 500 ,the RCRS are looking strong,a Rowdy win would be good to see.

Conor Daly qualified takes to that crazy crash in race 2, Zane Smith being the other non chartered car to qualify.

Roll on Sunday !

eagle eye · 17-02-2023 11:38am

Just on Zane Smith. I'm not sure how long his contract is with Front Row but I thought for sure they'd put a car in the Xfinity series for him this year.

He's got the quality to be a cup series driver, and a competitive one if he got into the right team.

Viaplay only officially bought the UK arm of Premier Sports. Our Premier Sports channels are a distinctly different operation.

First Biggie of the evening. Started getting frisky there after the second green flag stops.

Rossi IRL · 20-02-2023 12:32am

Thought I was finally going to see a KB 500 win

eagle eye · 20-02-2023 1:41am

Insane finish. Delighted for Ricky, has been great at that track for years and very unlucky a couple of times. Great to see a guy like that finally get a huge win that's well earned over the years.

eagle eye · 26-02-2023 9:35pm

Tough race on tyres tonight. I'd like to see Tyler Reddick win it tonight after what happened last year. He deserved to win it.

Hendrick cars have won it the last two years. Larson last year and he's won it twice. Kyle Busch has won it three times.

Nowso · 26-02-2023 9:46pm

ive gone for Larrson and Allgair in the xfinity

Charlie-Bravo · 26-02-2023 10:51pm

Cars getting pounded by sand and debris. This track is harsh.

Kimi returning with Project 91 car with the Track house team. Due at COTA at the end of March.

track house will gove him a decent car - with the 9 car vacant i can see allgair getting a few runs in it . he should have won the last few races in xfinity only for silly stuff

Nowso · 18-03-2023 11:43pm

this atlanta track is terrible constant cautions

Charlie-Bravo · 19-03-2023 12:08am

What is causing this. Tyres, driver errors?

eagle eye · 19-03-2023 1:49am

Austin Hill is so impressive in these type of races.

lack of grip is a lot of it a bit of everything but far 2 many cautions i think they decided to stop pushing going into final stage

Nowso · 19-03-2023 2:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120374894#Comment_120374894

he has been very lucky in every win imo

eagle eye · 19-03-2023 2:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120375623#Comment_120375623

How do.you call getting to the front luck? It took him a lap and a half to get from 8th to the front during the last stage last night.

Nowso · 19-03-2023 2:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120375640#Comment_120375640

he was hit into stayed on the track and won last night - a few weeks ago he won an when the caution came up in an overtime lap and the other one was fortunate aswell - he gets up there in the races but hes had a lot of luck

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120375676#Comment_120375676

Did you ever the saying 'the better I get the luckier I get'?

That applies here. He's by far the best superspeedway driver in Xfinity.

Charlie-Bravo · 19-03-2023 10:12pm

Some blocking going on in this Cup race. Going to end in tears

Nowso · 19-03-2023 11:16pm

went a lot better as they knew whay happened yesterday , amirola is an accident waitint to happen atm - and Logano deserved that win used to live at the track - nearly messed it up backing off at the start pf stage 3 . but got back up

eagle eye · 19-03-2023 11:44pm

Logano had a great car and team working for him. I like Joey, happy for him.

I thought with him and Keselowski in front it might all end in tears. They didn't get on as teammates, taking each other out a couple of times so on different teams I thought it could get rough. Thankfully that didn't happen.

Charlie-Bravo · 21-03-2023 1:49pm

I can't warm to Joey, dunno what it is. But respect, what a great drive in final laps to claim the win.

Charlie-Bravo · 23-03-2023 4:34pm

NASCAR is at COTA this weekend with Jenson in the 15 car and Kimi in the 91 car. Let's see these guys show the oval experts how to race on a track!

with no chase Elliot . Your down to Allmandinger maybe rowdy and larrson and a few others than good on track

Charlie-Bravo · 23-03-2023 6:22pm

Should be fun. Hoping Kimi and Jenson don't wreck or get wrecked just because they're fresh in stock cars.
