Yo this dude Jacques Villeneueve out here

Yo this dude Jacques Villeneueve out here

He has earned one of the few open spots as well 36 drivers are locked in because of the Charter system that guarantees them a starting spot. Then the two fastest on speed who aren’t of those 36 get a spot to fall back on. That would be him, and Noah. If they end up racing their way in during the duels tomorrow night, or if at least one does then it falls back to whoever is 3rd(and 4th if both race in) fastest of the 6 drivers fighting for the last 4 spots.

Damn. I was gonna post about Larson getting the pole and you beat me to it Blaze. Kudos!

Larson's continuing where he left off after winning the championship at Phoenix last season. I can see him continue his success in 2022, but it'll be hard for to duplicate the 10 wins he had the previous season. But hey, never say never.

The Duels have come and gone. Here’s the starting line up for the 64th running of The Great American Race, the Daytona 500

Yo I just got an ESPN news alert for this right when I opened the thread lol

 

[Marty McFourth]

Making a post here, I'll be here on Sunday. Feel free to annoy me as much as you want if I'm not. Sunday I finally watch NASCAR

Those commercials on SD got me hyped up

Big E seems like the type to stay on the track

NASCAR officials confiscate wheels from Team Penske, RFK Racing at Daytona​

NASCAR

NASCAR announced Friday that competition officials confiscated the wheels used by Team Penske and Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing at Daytona International Speedway.

Officials indicated that the confiscated parts will be brought to the NASCAR Research & Development Center for further inspection. Any potential penalties would be determined at a later date after the inspection, the NASCAR memo said.

RFK Racing drivers Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher swept victories in Thursday night’s Bluegreen Vacations Duels ahead of Sunday’s Daytona 500 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM).

NASCAR officials announced Jan. 24 that a tougher penalty structure would be enforced this season, the first for the Next Gen stock car that debuts in the 2022 Cup Series. The new model uses larger 18-inch aluminum wheels manufactured by German wheel-maker BBS. Those wheels also use a single, center-locking lug nut instead of the five-lug pattern of the former 15-inch wheels.

Yikes!
