was great to have racing back...something very much needed right now for people to have something to watch & they really had every angle covered with the covid virus stuff...everyone had masks on & was distanced as much as possible.

really nice job nascar

on the other hand i saw a golf outing on nbc & my oh my, the complete opposite...not a single person had a mask on & i did not see them distancing much at all. i hope they get criticized over that because compared to how nascar did it, that was a bad look on golf.

NASCAR did a great job. You can tell that they put a lot of thought and research into it.

Didn't really miss the crowd during the race with the engine noises and all. But the silence during Harvick's interview. So weird.

Xfinity moved up to 6PM from 8PM because of possible rain. Storm coming up the coast.

one week until racing returns & will it be a great thing for not only race fans, but in general for anybody looking for anything that reminds us of what normal was.

i think despite no fans at the track, this will be an absolute major tv ratings draw because they are the first to jump back in & i hope it's a big success!

I agree. People are needing sports.

I've enjoyed the iRacing. IndyCar, NASCAR and the Wednesday dirt tracks / IROC. It's not so much the "racing" but the behind the scenes look at the drivers. Although I enjoy the "crashes" more because no one gets hurt. Gordon's car stuck in the catch fence.

not good dude, not good at all...he may be out for a long time

Well that was smart of him... I am guessing he's done. Sponsors have all cut ties, Ganassi fired him...

I've been following this all day. I'm surprised and disappointed. I mean, he comes from the Drive for Diversity program (or whatever it's called).

He lost two main sponsors. Coke quietly dropped him early this year for a reason they're not revealing.

Thing I don't understand is that he was talking to his spotter. Usually, drivers are friends with their spotters.

Just saw this unfortunate news...

Kyle Larson has been suspended indefinitely

Chip Ganassi Racing driver Kyle Larson has been indefinitely suspended from NASCAR following his use of a racial slur on a live stream during an iRacing event Sunday night.

The behavioral penalty NASCAR issued Monday cited Sections 12.1 (General Procedures) and 12.8 (NASCAR Member Conduct Guidelines) of the official Rule Book. Larson must also attend sensitivity training as directed by NASCAR.

“NASCAR has made diversity and inclusion a priority and will not tolerate the type of language used by Kyle Larson during Sunday’s iRacing event,” a NASCAR statement read. “Our Member Conduct Guidelines are clear in this regard, and we will enforce these guidelines to maintain an inclusive environment for our entire industry and fan base.”


Larson later posted a video on his social media handles, apologizing for his actions.

I enjoyed the crap out of that, and hey Bobby Labonte with a top 15!

I'm enjoying it.

FS1 is doing a weekly series of iRacing (Wednesday). This week is World of Outlaws.

[Freyaka]

They're going to televise the rest of the season. Yay!

That was very interesting. I appreciate all the work that went into it. I hope they do more.

i watched it once last year, i think it was the final race because it was on FS1...it was indeed interesting & hey i guess we need any form of entertainment we can get at this point

I've heard a lot about iRacing but haven't bothered to check it out online. This Sunday (and for the next few weeks), they are putting it on FS1 at 1:30PM eastern.Homestead. Lots of NASCAR drivers involved. Should be interesting.

It sound like a lot of fun. I'll see what we can do.

And sorry about the late reply. Got a little busy.

I watched for the first time in like 5 years last week....I spent the entire night refreshing twitter until they finally announced he was ok.

The bad part of racing. He seems to be doing really good.

[Freyaka]
