people will complain that it might make the track narrower

 

[CakeWalker]

but it will mean there wont be need for track compound, which is honestly the worst invention in motor racing

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Already seen people doing that.

 

[CakeWalker]

draft trains make for interesting racing though

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Hopefully I can go to one of the races next year. Surely if they keep the same dates and one is around the time of my birthday

Truck series qualifying for Knoxville coming up. Jessica Friesen, Chase Briscoe and Josh Berry are three names that I spotted that are not regular truckers that will be participating. Good news is that all 40 trucks entered will be able to race.

 

[CakeWalker]

just realised how late the race is

 

[CakeWalker]

fuck

 

[Stellar]

Yeah, the race ended much later than planned. Honestly, the ending sucked. Happy for Austin Hill but the last handful of laps sucked. Too many huge wrecks. It started out well but then everyone was being too aggressive on each other.

This Xfinity race might as well be decided, since Kyle Busch is once again in it.

 

[Stellar]

Kyle Busch has lost Xfinity Series and Truck races from mechanical malfunctions or pit road mishaps in the past. That is really the main reason why I am still giving it a slight chance that he may not win at this point. Especially with depending on fresh tires at Atlanta.

Thank goodness that this is his last Xfinity Series race.

 

[CakeWalker]

so Kyle just straight up lied about his 100 and quit

 

[Stellar]

Well, Kyle probably couldn't back out of these last few races that he was planned to be in since before the season started. Backing out now wouldn't put him in a good situation with his sponsors. So I can understand why he is still racing. He did say on social media though that this is his last Xfinity Series race. So he has no plans to race in the series next year.

So far it's looking like the only way that Kyle loses this race is if his tires fall apart while on the track.

 

[CakeWalker]

well im glad he has said it on record

A Chase Elliott doc with Dale Jr. coming in August? Sign me up for that!
