back again tonight with the funkily entitled Sprint Unlimited no point race tonight as the season opener at Daytona. On Premier Sports channel starting 1AM UK time. The grid line up being decided by fan votes.

Hopefully Crafty will be about with all the latest news and gossip?

Suggest the post valentines day atmosphere in the Patrick/Stenhouse home may be a bit stifled.

Great race?

Still pack racing and still a lottery.

.

yep, but that's good, isn't it? Gotta be better than a line of cars equidistant apart.

That was one great Nationwide race. The last 15 laps were just great racing, anyone who missed it should watch the re runs on Motors, Fantastic stuff! and an original victory celebration! Cannot wait for F1 to follow suite.

Great weekend of racing and that Kyle Larson has sure put his name on the map. I don't remember California races being that exiting in the past....

We are on hold at Texas due to rain. They have the air titan at the track and I read about 20 minutes ago that they had started drying the track, although its still raining apparently.

Either way, the race might not run until evening, quite possibly even tomorrow.

Did anyone catch the Nationwide race ? Seems we've got some very good rookies coming in to the sport these days!

oh no! set sky+ to record!

Fantastic nationwide race yesterday and I guess that old air raid siren in Dawsonville was spooking the hell out of some of the newer, younger residents on Friday night.

holy crap what a race!

how did Harvick get off unscathed? Brad was turning away from the situation until Happy decided to shove him right in there...

Well, now its all done and dusted, what do we think of the chase format? At least we got 4 drivers going for instead of maybe 2 with one only needing to finish in the top 20 or so.
But what if Newman won it? how unfair would that have been and if there were 1 more GWC the chances are it would have been all turned on its head.
At least we were saved the embarrassment of a winners circle for a race winner being overshadowed and ignored by the series winner celebrations.

Me? I think by chance it worked out this year. emphasis on the By chance bit..... maybe would not have been so great if none of the contenders were challenging for the win and were lost in the midfield somewhere.
