Any thoughts about this upcoming weekend? It's really cool to see NASCAR on a different type of track, but I just don't see how this turns out to be anything other than an abject disaster. I don't think 36 of these cars, with their size and how easily the front and back end collapse, are going to be able to race on a 12 (I think?) turn street course. Gonna be like a trainwreck. I won't be able to look away...but it won't be pretty.

I am super excited to see how it plays out. I have been waiting on a street course for a while now, and think this could be fun.

Definitely gonna be fun. My guess is it turns into one of those things that we can joke about for years. The xfinity race should be absolute pandemonium too.

Absolutely tragic breaking news. Jimmie Johnson has withdrawn from this weekends race. Reportedly, his mother in law killed his father in law, their 11 year old grandson (Jimmies nephew) and herself.

Carl Edwards explains why he left NASCAR:

Carl Edwards explains reasons for not returning to racing


LEBANON, Tenn. — When asked if there was any part of him that would consider a return to the Cup Series, Edwards had an interesting initial response: “Yeah, there is.”

But the 28-time Cup Series winner quickly explained the biggest reasons for not getting back behind the wheel.

“I’m not planning on doing any driving,” Edwards said. “(The Cup Series) is the tip of the spear. These guys are so good that I would be terribly slow, so I’d have to prep a lot. Seriously, that’s the truth.

Edwards was on hand Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway for NASCAR’s Ally 400 (7 p.m. ET, NBC, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) to accept an honor for the speedway’s new track legends environment.

Despite being back in the incredible at-track atmosphere, Edwards still highlighted the cons of reigniting his career.

“For me, I really feel racing is a risky sport,” he said. “There’s risk involved, and if I’m not committed 100%, I don’t feel that it’s the right thing for me to go do for fun.”

However, the fan-favorite, known for his legendary backflip celebration, didn’t completely close the door on future opportunities.

“But I’ll tell you this, if it creeps in and it’s something we wanna go do, then I promise you I’ll give it a 100%,” said Edwards. “I’ll do the best I can. But right now, no, I’m not planning anything.”

Good read for sure. Mirrors something Darrel Waltrip said in his autobiography. He talked about how when he got older and started having kids, it was harder for him to take the big risks that you have to take to win races.

Chicago street course tour.




Jeff Burton showing where he will be at during the cup race reminded me of what the NBC group usually does for the road courses. Jeff Burton, Dale Jr. and Mike Bagley split up in different areas of the track, which I do enjoy. So I assume that Bagley will be there. Looking forward to the races this weekend! Wonder if there will be a Chicago street fight after the Chicago street race. lol

Watching Xfinity Series practice...it's wild to see regular traffic in the background while they are going around the track.
