2024 NASCAR

Three car drag race finish. Doesn’t get anymore exciting than that.

3/1000 of a second .... heck of a photo finish .... the picture of which will be shown from now on .... congrats to Suarez and his 99 team .... Kyle Busch finished 3rd by a split second

16 car wreck on lap 2, the largest in Atlanta's Cup history

3 cars running at the Checker Flag that hadn't taken some damage

for those who may be interested, a video of the Cup Race finish at Atlanta .... speed estimated at being near 200mph

Caught the last few laps from the final restart live, you could tell Busch was 3rd but I thought Blaney might have had it.
Moves Suarez equal with Ambrose and Montoya with 2 cup wins, the most by an international driver. He still needs 2 more Xfinity wins to equal Ambrose 5 but he does have a truck win that Ambrose never achieved.
Unreal to think there have only ever been 6 international drivers to win a Cup race, Ambrose, Montoya Canadiian Earl Ross Mario Andretti who the records class as Italian but most would class as American, then Suarez and SVG who are both currently racing.

I dont think it will be the last race won by a international driver this year, Saurez certainly has the ability to add to his total and I will be very surprised if SVG doesnt take at least one Xfinity race maybe even an oval win given his results after 2 starts, he then has 7 confirmed cup starts including Chicago where he won last year.

Looks like I will miss watching the next Xfinity race live as well. I am keen to follow SBG progress but time differences mean it will be a 1am start down under.

National Anthem just finished and the Green Flag will be dropping for the xfinity drivers at Las Vegas .... the weather looks good but its pretty windy - 70 mph wind gust


SVG starting 25th

Hailie Deegan starting 28th

[JEBar]

clean race .... not very exciting ....34 of 38 cars still running at the the end


Hailie Deegan finished 15th

SVG went out early finished 37th

Funny but here in Casa Grande the local cable does not have NASCAR on it.
I watched with "Dish Anywhere" on my laptop which I then projected onto the TV.
I have my Hopper plugged in at home and I can access it to watch anything I have
at home including the recordings.
Amazing!

I will be watching this afternoon you can bet.

I can watch it with an antenna. I stopped watching it for a few years but this thread got me watching it again.

That's another thing about the old Nascar, they used to tell us the winnings listed for all the drivers. I believe they also gave us the attendance figures as well. But not no more.
