It's a novel idea but I hope it doesn't rain that weekend.

I feel like 200 mile races would be the perfect distance across both days, but that's just me

Tifft out for the rest of year due to his medical issue at Martinsville

Have a friend who does infield camping at pocono each year, but only for one of the race weekends. The track has yet to explain to the recurring camping folks how exactly they plan to take 2 weekends worth of campers and squeeze them into 1 weekends worth of camping spots.

I saw one headline mention that he had a seizure at Martinsville this weekend.

I know any sort of brain issues are serious, but I can't help but feel at least a little optimistic in the fact that the tumor he had removed a couple years ago was non-cancerous.

New front clip for those in the Chevy camp


Corey LaJoie said on his MRN podcast that it appears DGR Crosley will be switching manufacturers in 2020. Unclear if it will be with the General or FoMoCo

Well, everything evens out. Carl Edwards was said to be paid off a king's ransom to step away for Suarez to begin with.

In the sense that it's not leaving him much time to find an alternative drive, yes.

But on the basis of results it's a fair decision. All 3 of his teammates made the Chase both this year and last and he did not.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Quote:
STAMFORD, Conn. and DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 14, 2019) – NASCAR® and NBC Sports have teamed up to launch TrackPassTM on NBC Sports Gold, a new streaming product representing NASCAR’s most significant undertaking in the direct-to-consumer space. Set to launch in early December, TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold builds off the foundation set by FansChoice.tv and immediately becomes the most robust live and on-demand motorsports content offering in the domestic digital marketplace.

TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold will bring fans more exclusive live motorsports events and an extensive library of archived documentaries and films. The platform will offer exclusive live viewing of a multitude of motorsports, including American Flat Track, select ARCA Menards Series™ events (including ARCA Menards Series East and West races), NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour™, and tentpole grassroots racing events, as well as NASCAR Cup Series™ and NASCAR Xfinity Series™ practice and qualifying sessions (NBC Sports’ half of the schedule only).

International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) enthusiasts are also covered, as TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold will feature live and archived content from the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship™, IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and IMSA Prototype Challenge. Live NASCAR national series races (NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Gander Outdoors Trucks Series™) will not be offered on the platform.

“The launch of TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold is a significant step forward in both our commitment to grassroots racing and the evolution of our direct-to-consumer strategy,” said Steve Phelps, NASCAR president. “By partnering with NBC Sports, we can deliver more high-quality content to fans who have passionately followed their favorite racing series via FansChoice.tv, while increasing product availability and reliability.”

“Our partnership with NASCAR on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold is a win for racing fans across the U.S., from four-wide action at superspeedways to two wheels sliding across dirt tracks,” said Sam Flood, executive producer and president, production, NBC and NBCSN. “TrackPass will deliver unprecedented, exclusive live coverage of a wide variety of diehard racing fans’ favorite series – from IMSA, ARCA and American Flat Track, to grassroots racing at iconic local tracks like Bowman-Gray Stadium and Myrtle Beach Speedway. TrackPass is a must-have for passionate race fans.”

Fans can access all the content on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold for $4.99/month or $44.99/year. Series-specific subpackages for IMSA, AFT and NASCAR Roots content will also be available. Both the IMSA and NASCAR Roots (which includes ARCA, Whelen Modified Tour, tentpole grassroots events and select NASCAR practice and qualifying sessions) packages are $2.99/month or $19.99/year. The American Flat Track package will have a $1.99/month or $10.99/year introductory rate for 2020. Existing FansChoice.tv registered users will receive an introductory free trial to TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold.

While FansChoice.tv was a web-based platform, TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold allows users to stream content on a NBCSports.com and on mobile and connected devices via the NBC Sports app, letting fans experience racing action on their preferred hardware, including big-screen environments.

Click here for additional information on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold.

In the meantime, catch the crowning of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion from Homestead-Miami Speedway this Sunday, November 17, at 3 p.m. ET on NBC.

Remember when we all hated on Johnson? Seems a long time ago now. What an amazing career he's had. We all rave about Jeff Gordon, but Johnson beat him from pretty much from year one.

Hats off, I hope 2020 treats him well.
