I've been in these threads for so long I don't think there's anything else left to say

The chance of the big one happening/not happening has been debated to death

The physics of the current aero package vs chances of airbournez has also been exhausted

As has debate of sensational side by side finish with several severe sidewinding snap rolls happening behind vs chances of a blue balls finish.

What's left to talk about?

But it's still DEGA and the damn high speed, high banks and (hopefully) high numbers of cars racing around in a pack together means I still look forward to it like all the cynical things I've been mad about 20 seconds after the finish line of each race are wiped from my memory.

DEGAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I will tune in to the Cup race for once. Seems like most of the interesting drivers have to finish well to make the next round.

Plate racing, where the worst of the worst can be made to look like heroes, just by avoiding a wreck

Plate racing, where wrecks and junior are at their highest levels. No junior this year, so just wrecks.

Plate racing, where they ride single file up against the wall for 495 miles

Plate racing, where the term racing isn't really relevant

Is this the first year that they don't run Xfinity at Dega in fall or am I mistaken?

Xfinity has never run in the Autumn at Dega, there's never any cars left after the July Daytona race.

So, my girlfriend, who is fairly new to the sport, and I were watching some of the old fall DEGA races on YouTube last night, notably 2001 and 2012. She asked me, "So, does this race always end with only three cars making it back to the finish line cause of everyone wiping out on the last lap?" I said, yep... more times than not. Lol.

We're overdue for a really good Fall weekend. Have a feeling we may be in for some good stuff.

With this being an elimination race during the chase, this race is going to be like having sex while camping. It's going to be fucking in tents.

In the entirety of my life, I will never consume enough food to generate the amount of vomit that video is capable of eliciting.

"Alabama 500" had a nice, oldschool ring to it. Now it's the Hellmann's 500.

Inb4 jokes about hell and/or blue balls mayonnaise.

And for some ungodly reason, they shaped the trophy like a car battery. Ain't that some shit?
