The Official 2024 NASCAR Regular Season Discussion Thread

[Stellar]

Triple threat this weekend, but a little different from the usual.

Xfinity Series race at Daytona is on Friday Night

Cup Race at Daytona is on Saturday Night (be aware of that for Fantasy. SATURDAY, not Sunday).

Truck race at Milwaukee is on Sunday.

Actually I guess that there are 4 races this weekend because ARCA will be airing on FS1 also before the Truck race.

Kaulig is making an announcement tomorrow about the 16 Xfinity car. May see a Christian Eckes move.

I was about to fucking post that lol

Five months seems like a really long time to wait.

I'm glad that Hamlin and his crew chief got the hammer. Rules are rules.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Gotta be honest, not sure how I feel about Diffy being the voice of the Cup series going forward.

Anybody watching tonight?

I watched the race but was behind because of doing other things. Congrats to Ryan Truex!

Crazy how that race started and the issues throughout the race. Allmendinger getting wrecked after being close to the front throughout the race is consistent with his luck this year. Just when it finally looks like he has a ride that could maybe win....nope.

Austin Hill was taken out of being a threat of winning pretty quick sadly but I think that he will be in the cup race tonight in the 33. Hopefully he is feeling okay after last night.

Edit: Oh yeah, I am convinced that 15 ride that Hailie Deegan had is cursed and has bad luck. Logano did get it to 8th place but that was at the Chicago Road Course. So far their plan to "see where they are at with the car" hasn't worked out well at all.

Zane Smith and Trackhouse are parting ways after the season. Not a big surprise, but it does kinda clear up a couple Silly Season thing. SVG will land in the third TH ride for sure. Zane is going to be the guy in the third FRM ride. That hasn't been annoucned, but that was the last hurdle to clear. And it looks like Daniel Dye is going to replace Dinger in the Xfinity series at Kaulig.

Oh, and we should get an announcement in the coming days about Riley Herbst to the #67 car for 23XI. His daddy did in fact buy him a cup ride.

Sorry that I missed last night's race, but I won't miss tonight's Cup race.
