I think we actually get it this weekend, I think Truex wins at The Brickyard.

Whoa! That'd be a big swing for him at a track he's not historically great at.

I could see Kyle Busch picking one up. he has a couple wins on the Indy rectangle.

Yeah, something just feels right. Tho I typically only get my “something feels right.” Picks the day of the race. When I picked Austin Dillon to win the Daytona 500 I did it morning of, as something felt right about it, and it being the anniversary of the death of Earnhardt, and the 20th Daytona 500 since Earnhardt had won it. Then a few years ago when Hélio Castroneves won the Indy 500, I hadn’t kept up with anything at Indy that year, had no idea how fast anyone was, nothing. I just looked at the lineup, and I’m like fuck it, Hélio Castroneves wins today. Then he did. So maybe I should just have waited til race day, but I’m hoping I still am right lmao

I'd be cool with seeing MTJ pick up a win. I actually won't be shocked to see him win at Darlington. I'm terrified of driving that far to see Hamlin win lol

That would suck lmao.

Every truck race I been to at Atlanta, Kyle Busch won. The Busch races I went to, a Roush car won. My only Cup race, which was at Dega I at least saw Dale Jr win. Then he said shit in Victory Lane

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Bristol is the closest track to me, so I've been to a ton there. For a while, every time I went, Kyle Busch won.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

My wife's first Bristol race was when Brad K. said, "Kyle Busch is an ass" during driver intros lol

In what amounts to this year's worst-kept Silly Season secret, Cole Custer will be announcing his plans for next year Saturday morning. The press release has the Haas logo on it.

That's pretty poor to make it less a secret by mentioning the Haas logo at the end, just to spoil the surprise.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Yea. I wanted to take it from "We know this is going to happen" to "Holy fuckin' shit. They really haven't done anything to hide what's happening."

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Boom. Just got a call from a NASCAR sales rep. I just upgraded the tickets I got for me and my dad to include the prerace experience. We'll be in the infield for driver intros, pre-race concerts, and all that stuff.

Fucking nice!

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Yep. I thought it would be super expensive. It’s 35 bucks a person to do that lol. I made the guy repeat himself twice cause I had to be sure.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Wow, that's not that bad at all tbh. I would think at least 100 a person or close to that. when it's not even that for two.
