Thats bait. My wife has said she doesnt want me to solve every problem and often just wants me to listen. Thats very hard for me!

McLaren back in form and Max struggling :wah:

Insane. I would have been going crazy if I would have been right there.

Yep I’ve never been a fan of his. Byron was nice about it too. I’m no Hamlin fan either but after seeing how emotional he was, I’m glad he won. He has come so close so many times to winning it all and never gets there. I don’t see him doing it this year either but we shall see!

Random though but I like seeing fairly new blood like Briscoe do so well in the playoffs.

The race wasnt bad, but was tough for me to get into. The tire wear made it interesting and Im glad Goodyear allowed an extra set of tires but there goes Goodyear/ NASCAR tinkering with something again. Lots off issues with fires and brakes too. Several big names (Elliot, SVG...) had problems. Toyota is dominating the start of the Chase and Im just not a big fan of theirs. The most excitement for me was to see if Bowman could make it into the playoffs (more manufactured drama) and if Brad K could win it at the end but of course he couldnt. He just never has enough at the end. He and Kyle Busch are washed up. They also dont have the best hardware so its not all their fault.

NASCAR issues are discussed at length here but I think the biggest issue is the young stars just arent very likeable. They are boring and non-controversial. Racing needs a bit of drama to make it exciting and NASCAR is quickly losing that. The new young drivers also dont identify well with the old customer base. I will keep watching though because I love all forms of racing!

Some good advice in here about getting there early.

Leave NO by 930 and go straight to Chimes at 11. Eat well and relax. By 1, start walking around. Go down Highland and then Dalrymple to see the fraternities. Then hit the parade grounds and areas around it. Ive been to the corporate tailgates before and its just not worth it. Far too uptight and generic. Dont even visit that area. Well, maybe go to the train tracks close to them to see some raunchiness. :cheers: Do bring alcohol so that you have something to start walking around with.

And pace yourself! You dont want to pass out in the 2nd quarter like so many rookies do!

I agree. He’s great for NASCAR. We need new blood like him.

The guy in the video said they were moving the stand.

Palou with the uncharacteristic mistakes.

I love Saturday night races in the summer. There’s nothing else on tv and great to look forward to. Unfortunately, night races are often at boring tracks but I will take it regardless.
