It was rained out

Shootout Lineup: http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2012/10 ... ineup.html

Cup qualifying practice is about to begin.

I didn't notice it in Shootout practice last night, but I just watched single car runs from Biffle and then Ambrose and it looks like the teams are running with the rear of the car offset to the left a little bit. Wonder if they've found something with that setup that is ideal for qualifying trim. Not used to seeing that after getting used to the intermediate setups with the rear cocked substantially to the right.

Watching single car runs right now... nice to see the Petty cars tucked right in behind the 24, with Almirola 2nd quick and Ambrose 3rd. At the end of 2010 (or was it 2009?), it really wasn't looking too good for them (y'know, minus Almirola's 4th at Homestead that year).

Also, Helton is kinda lollin' about the Knaus situation. "It makes you wonder, doesn't it?" He said his past history is going into deciding whatever penalties they face after the 500. I'm guessing it'll be more than the 5 races he got in '06 and '07!!

Just saw the #83/#93 cars for the first time, looks like someone painted them up in NASCAR Thunder or something.

They need to update all the ads Jr is in...

Will there be a stream for the arca race for people outside the US?

I feel like giving them a pass for now just because they had so little time to prep the cars themselves for the season, but I hope they improve the look at some point. Especially the numbers, they are pretty atrocious.

In that case I'll go do something else.

Also, I know that bitching about grass related topics makes some of you mad, but that tri-oval grass is awful. Why do they always do that swirly shit?

It's a plot by the Illuminati to bring NASCAR fans to an end by forcing us all to have photosensitive epileptic seizures as the camera pans by the wavy pattern each lap.
