Time to fire up the new thread

Coke 600 and San Diego base course on streaming

With the way networks are coming and going on various services. I know I can watch the stream races atleast

Reminder as Bunk posted in last year's thread the championship format will be announced at 2:30 CT on NASCAR.com, The NASCAR Channel and NASCAR Youtube.

Championship Format Announcement | NASCAR

NASCAR going back to 10-race Chase (nine for O'Reilly, seven for trucks). 16 drivers (12-O'Reilly, 10-trucks) based on points. 55 points instead of 40 for race win. Stage points still awarded. No playoff pts. Reset: 1st-2100, 2nd-2075, 3rd-2065, 4th-2060, 5th-2055 ... 16th-2000. pic.twitter.com/ibRZ5OoEGP

Really like this change. Keeps TV partners happy for an end of season event but it's basically all about points and results in both the season and the chase.

Smoke in a Kaulig Dodge Ram for the Daytona Truck race

Thinking of taking wife and son to Daytona. Any suggestions since we never have been there?

We stayed on the beach when we went a few summers ago. I want to say Daytona Grande or something similar. Rates weren't bad. Expect to spend all day at the track. Traffic is a nightmare before and after. Uber/Lyft was also a nightmare. We ended up walking a pretty good distance just to find a parking lot an uber could get us in and get back over the bridge to the beach.

It was a fantastic time.

I don't know what their schedule is but I would try to do the motorposrrts hall of fame (on-site)

Hopefully everything gets sorted out before Saturday and no more snow falls.

Bowman-Gray at noon: track and pits are plowed and drying. Main St. has just one lane scraped each way. Other roads and side streets are packed snow. Most lots have snow piled high, limiting parking.
If coming, dress for extreme cold. Plan to park remotely and shuttle to track.

Forecast says 6-10 inches of snow possible Saturday but also somewhat uncertain. Tech will be tomorrow. Teams been told plan is race Sunday and if postponed, then Monday, then Tuesday, etc. Issue will likely be more about people safely attending. NASCAR says can race in cold. https://t.co/N6MnnAKZpU

Progress made today at the stadium. Main St is now cleared, but most side roads are still unplowed packed snow. Temp hit 40 today, that and the sun helped.
The FOX trucks are in place, and TV setup continues.
Looks like we are racing at BGS this weekend, IF there's no more snow.

Just cancel it at this point

Last Chance Qualifying on now.

Great battle between Lajoie and Cindric for the last transfer spot.

I'll give them credit for trying but this is a **** show. Sleet coming down. Water everywhere. A track they can't dry. Just call it a day.

Anyone else gonna run out of fuel?
