I pulled up my phone at work to watch a couple minutes of practice... LOL this is going to be a shitshow for the ages. I can't wait.

Kyle Busch lightly tagged the right rear into the wall in the middle of 1 & 2. Got loose entering 1 and chased it up the hill. Good job at not doing more damage.

Xfinity practice is surely going to be an adventure. Even with all the progress the Cup cars have made, these guys are going to be sketchy.

Erik Jones just picked a fight with the T4 wall and the wall won.

Elliot bins it

The incredible thing about that crash was the disparity in grip level it showed. He was really carrying speed down low but when it slipped just a tad out of the groove it was pretty much the equivalent of blowing a RF. Crazy.

I wish I could find it, but I'll go off memory...

"NASCAR Winston Cup's first race at the new Texas Motor Speedway, billed as the greatest thing to ever happen.... Until the damn thing started."

~ Kenny Mayne, RPM2Night lead in the night of the first Cup race at the then brand new TMS, where a 13 car crash in T1 on lap 1 was the first of many black eyes on the day.

As the day progresses, it really does remind me of that 1st race. I know nostalgia is a big thing these days but damn...

That first turn is wide enough to house a small town. o_O

I have no idea why they made it wider. It looks stupid as fuck. Especially the T2 exit. I always thought Texas had too wide of corners and needed to make them more narrow.

Color me impressed: Xfinity practice seems to have gone off without a hitch.

Yeaa. Only reason to watch it

Maybe wait for quali/race?

And as I type that...

It may sound bad, but I kind of hope this weekend's races are total clusterfucks because of the track change. It would be refreshing to see Eddie Gossage taken down a notch.

let's tear some shit up

That would be nice, but if that does happen I'd be genuinely fearful for when Indycar comes here, and that dick Gossage will screw indycar to the wall if they're forced to cancel their race because of his track changes making it undrivable for them

Jimmie loops it in T1, very similar to what happened to Kyle.

That entry into T1

Lot of crashes, Gossage will be loving that

Tracks getting faster and faster.

Might not be a 500 mile demo derby Sunday but T1/T2 is going to be very treacherous. The exit of T2, with the angle the corner and wall make anyone who gets crossed up and over corrects is going to pay a big price.

It's strange seeing how far away from the outside wall they are at entrance.
