I have no issues at all of Larson getting the waiver. He had all intentions of doing both races. Mother nature had other ideas. If NASCAR can grant a waiver to a driver who had missed three months of racing due to getting injured in another division that he was not running for a Championship in, then NASCAR should grant a waiver to a driver who brought a lot of publicity to NASCAR & INDY. I'm sure there are a lot of people, including myself, that hopes he makes another attempt next year.

Let's cool down the personal attacks on fellow LSSZ members, please.
People involved in racing often have strong feelings about various issues and Mr. Stewart has made it easy for folks to "throw stones" at him at different points in his illustrious career.
24nomo is not a "random dude." He's been on here a long time and has earned a reputation for stirring the pot. Usually, he doesn't step over the line But if he does, I take my own steps...
Let brotherly love continue!
Thank you sir.

WELL PUT YOUR MONEY INTO A CAR and go race with the rental kids ...see how that works out for u .. rental kids do not have to finance and build their cars .. just get in thinking aint nutten to it .. .my brother and i spent 37 hours around the clock at the shop putting my brand new car together for a tps race in corpus on a very cold weekend along time ago . i had new car blues in qualifying and started dead last in the last chance race . back where u realiy didnt want to be ,i had three cars around me with questional driving skills .. one i believe was in one of mike knots rentals if i am correct who never been on the track before .. . .. wow that was very scary . went green off turn two the rental driver went left full throtle and boom nailed the guy in fornt of me as i looked to my left the rental driver was flipping right beside me .. he took out the two cars around me and was going to land on top of me in my brand new two laps only car i built .had i not stood on the throtle and drove through his landing sight he would have detroyed my car ..i was very lucky . three others were not .. u do not just climb into a racecar and go for broke .and realy i think no one should rent a racecar to a rookie like that .. it does not pay off for the car owners and builders amd track .. . case in point right there in houston ... how many cars were out becuase of it ,teams are not going to go racing where they know thier cars are going to be wrecked by rookies .. and we all start out rookies i know .. big differents when u own the car .... .they bring the cash u said at what cost to the others .that balance does not compute .
Well put HiTech. When rental kids gets into cars they have no idea how much time, money and effort went into putting the car together. Most likely they don't even care.

Beautiful car. Well-built from the best that I can see.

I wonder how many drones made unintentional contact...
I don't know but when the Guiness representative said 1499 drones instead of the 1500 lead me to conclude at least one didn't make it. But then again, they may not gave started with 1500.

That was one amazing show.

This thread has nothing to do with COTA.

I may be wrong, but I believe Hill would have been in on points if he finished second. I do not blame Creed at all. I put more blame on Hill, Childress and Petree.

with it just being the wife and i joshua is getting married in november and had moved out a few years ago . sold all the racing stuff and no baseball to finance , every two years the wife and i take a long trip out of state .. ... now i havet to decide where to go on our next vacation ..maybe main lol .. pick a time when nick is up there that would put a dampner on his trip .. so help me put out should we go to daytona or the big track in alabama
I went to Talladega once in 1996. That was the year Earnhardt had the crash that broke his collarbone. I enjoyed it very much and visiting the museum was also something worth attending. I found out why they have seats there as well. It's for the people to sit during cautions. I wished I could tell you about Daytona. Unfortunately, I have never been there. I'm sure it would be worth the visit as too.

My issue is not the racetrack. It's the amount of money it takes to attend a NASCAR race. The cost of getting there. The cost of a hotel room. The cost of food. The cost of food at the track. The cost of getting something off the drivers merchandise trailer.

Mike, you'll never gonna get that in your go cart.

I saw something the other day about a go fund me page for Corpus Christi Speedway. Apparently, someone is looking for donations/investments in purchasing it and restoring it. Has anyone else heard of this or know any details?

Why I asked this ? I saw Harold just a few months ago and age/health has caught up with him but 4 years back after reading what HiTech said it may have very well been Harold. I didn't know he had a son that raced the #51 I remember was driven by Mark Wells his brother Gary drove the #54 if memory serves me correct
I believe his son's name was Bubba. That could have been a nickname, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure about that. Perhaps someone from the CC area has the answer to your question.
Hi Tech? The Harold Cope I remembered racing against back in the 90's may be too old now.

It takes someone with enough money and resources to build a multi-purpose motorsports facility and then not worry about any return on their investment.
For some strange reason, that person has yet to come forward!
You can come out from behind those shadows!!

I believe it was all for how Hamlin raced the 5 car. Of course, Hamlin will never admit he is wrong. One reason a lot of people, me included, does not like him. He cries like a baby when someone does some to him. But if he does something it's always the other driver's fault.

I went to bed prior to the A Main. With as much as they tore up in the other races I didn't want to go to bed at midnight. Other than that, I saw some good racing. I was not aware of how fast they could get a torn-up racecar back in action.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I say no claim rule. Everyone brings their cars to the track in accordance with the rules supply by the track. If someone appears to be outrunning everyone else due to possibly rule infractions, tech them. If they fail tech, then run them off. No one should have to race and not be competitive because someone has an immoral thought that the rules don't apply to them. A strong tech program and a strong track promoter should be able to enforce this.

I thought the race itself wasn't too bad. What I don't care for is how they had to call the Xfinity race done with not reaching halfway. I was worried the Cup race wasn't going to happen at all. I understand the weather is something nobody can control except for Allen Holt. What would have happened if the Cup race was never able to be ran? Chicago needs their streets back. if they couldn't have got it started would Hamlin been the winner? I know that's a crazy notion but what where their plan if it could not start? No more off weekends until the end of the season. I don't think Chicago would do another set up for the race at the end of the year. Good chance of snow being on the ground by that time.

Bubba needs to move to go carts.

NOW he is going after nascar for double standard becuase he is black ....... i suppose nascar is now racist .. u know he didnt make any friends after the noose deal .. fact he made alot of folks mad when it was found that noose was there already ..and ran blm on his car .. . i do not and never judge a person by their color i use to be a fan of his wished him good luck fact alot of fans turned on him .. .. i judge a person based on them .. ..i have had enough of that mans attitude and mouth ..
I could not agree more. At first, I was wanting him to succeed but when he ran BLM on the car, I figured out who he was and what he stood for.

I am a Chase fan but do not agree with what he did. To me, no one needs to intentionally get into another car to gain advantage. One of the main reasons I did not like Earnhardt Sr.

Hamlin cries more when he has payback come back to him more than any maternity ward!!!!

We understand cable costs too much, that is why we went to streaming, it is better on the Pocketbooks. Now we watch Nascar for half the price.
I envision the streaming services to increase the price when they start getting more customers.
