Hopefully this post finds a few people who were also at the Clash last night…

There was a break in the action and the PA system was playing a song. Everyone around me started singing. It sounded like a popular 90’s or 2000’s rock song. I liked it and meant to add it to my playlist after the race, but of course I forgot all of the words and how it goes.

I remember the chorus talked about Hell or the underworld, something to that effect. Maybe it was talking about losing your girl and comparing it to Hell.

Anyways, the Clash was awesome. 10/10 to who ever made the playlist.

How many races / miles does an engine last in Xfinity? Trucks? Even ARCA? How many do the teams go through in a season? Seems like this info is discussed regularly for Cup but I haven’t been able to find a clear answer for the lower series. I’d assume they try to stretch engines longer to cut costs.

I live near Atlanta and recently became a fan of the sport. Since I live near Dawsonville, I decided to be a Chase fan. I hear people always talking about the pool room and the sireeeen so I was wondering what its like on Raceday for those who go or have been. Is it packed? Is it mostly older folks?

What's the first impression on the driver cams now that they've moved to Max?

I'm toying with subscribing but would be interested in what the viewing options are (single car? multi-car? Race feed?).

My scanner at the racetrack plays MRN unless one of my pre-programmed drivers speak and it cut into the MRN feed. Is there an option for something similar on Max?

Once Dale Jr. retired, I knew who my new favorite driver was gonna be. However, since that time I’ve felt less of a connection with this driver and actually find myself rooting for drivers other than him. It’s kind of a weird situation, because here I am with all this gear and memorabilia for a driver I’m not really cheering for anymore. Has anyone else experienced something similar to this with their favorite driver?

This weekend was an amazing experience. Everything was really done so well. Fanzone set up was great, getting to the stadium was super easy. BUT the glaring issue for the weekend was the shuttles leaving the track after the events.

There was simply no rhyme or reason to which buses were pulling where on the street. They just told everyone waiting on a shuttle to go to the right when exiting BGS. The problem was that you have 2 massive groups, Allegacy stadium parking group and Innovation parking group. Rather than have 2 separate areas for these 2 groups to wait, they had us all just mixed together waiting for the shuttles on the side of the road.

This created so much confusion because you have no real knowledge of where your shuttle is so you are aimlessly waiting, hoping that the right shuttle pulls in front of where you are.

If we are back here next year, they've got to figure out how to sort out the shuttle situation, because waiting to get on a shuttle for over an hour and a half with as much confusion as there was is crazy.

But other than the shuttle chaos, the whole weekend went pretty smoothly honestly.

If we enjoyed watching that race last night / this weekend, think we need to thank the fans for showing up. NASCAR tried to pack the Coliseum but this place was stacked last night! Great to see from TV even though i'm not one to give a crap about attendance, but when they try something everyone wants its great to see people pay and show up. All the talk of "its too cold / who's going to go to a race in NC in February etc" was put to bed. Not sure how many years it would be like that, but for the first event it was a great turn out and i'm glad everyone showed up. We can't have more instances of Rockingham years back where people begged for a track to come back and then no showed. Hopefully this leads to some more "resurrections"

I legitimately enjoyed the on-track racing last night. It was noticeable how drivers were using different driving styles to experiment with corner entry and exit, or drivers like Blaney being able to roll the center of the corner while other guys favored strong corner exit. We even saw a handful of drivers able to make the outside lane work, like Denny and Chase gaining position and getting around lap traffic.

It did also feel like there were real consequences for over-driving a corner or getting loose on corner entry. Whereas, especially at Martinsville, we’ve seen drivers able to just drop a gear and accelerate out of any trouble they may have gotten themselves into, thereby denying what would normally be a passing opportunity for the car behind.

By and large, last night felt a lot different from what we’ve seen from other short tracks - especially Martinsville - in the Next Gen car. Is it really just because Bowman Gray is so small? Or is it something else.

Been a casual watcher the last couple years and watched every weekend when younger and I want to get more into it this upcoming season. Not sure who to cheer for most the guys I cheered for growing up have retired.

Is there a site where I can watch replays of 2025 season races. I know previous seasons replays were posted at nascar's youtube channel. Are they going to post there upcoming races too? I wanted to watch yesterday's bowman gray race but i can't find a replay. Will it be posted few days later or they stopped doing this? I'm from Europe and I can't always watch the race because the are often past midnight.

It’s the madhouse…

So i recently bought a JH jacket (wich is in the process of arriving) for a very low price. I wanted to know if JH actually made this jacket or if its just a fake. Its the Richard Childress with the Jack Daniels design.
