2012 NASCAR thread

LOL. The #5 truck is still going, despite being completely caved in on the right-hand side. Tough truck.

Oh dear God American adverts are getting worse....

Grrr.

Commentators talking about the inventors of the SAFER barrier. No love for the guy who set the wheels in motion - Smokey Yunick? Prats.

Going to be a Green-White-Checkered finish.

Still going to be a G-W-C finish!


***edit 2***

Caution #8, and we still may get a G-W-C finish....

Ah. Red flag.

Seems like it!

This is the final go anyway. Can't have any more than 3 G-W-C attempts.
 
Nasty looking accident again to finish it up, not sure about the winner though, just a few laps after taking someone out like a n00b :p

Hornaday going under the 22 was quite amusing though :p
 
So the stream is awful tonight, keeps getting closed down, think I'm gonna give up soon and acquire it tomorrow...
 
I'm confused now...

Is there a race this evening and then the Daytona 500 tomorrow? I thought Danica was on pole for the 500, I assume now she is not she is in fact on pole for the race tonight? Help me here, I am not up to speed with NASCAR and I need to be as I'm going to watch it this year!

There are two series for Nascar, Nationwide and Sprint Cup. Nationwide race in today and Sprint Cup (500) is tomorrow. NW has more rear downforce and I think restrictor plate engines.

Danica qualified 1st for Nationwide, then crashed in qualy for 500 so is starting last. She didn't last very long in the race either due to someone spinning her into the wall.

It is on Motors TV if you have Sky and the relevant pack.
 
I don't have Sky but thanks for the head up on stuff. I usually just head off to Justin TV but for some reason I can't seem to locate the NASCAR feeds :(
 
Justin TV have been cracking down on the NASCAR feeds so they're either hidden/private or elsewhere. The other stream I was watching got the same problem through another site, now found one that's low quality but at least it's still there :p

There's also a third series on (generally) a Friday night which is the Camping World Trucks, and all 3 series run restrictor plates at Daytona and Talladega to restrict speeds somewhat (I think the record is ~220mph average with no plate, with a plate and a draft they still don't get to 200 that often)
