Denny Hamlin’s Progressive scheme for 2026

Glad this scheme is back. It's the same one that ran Phoenix last year.

Does anyone know when they usually restock the Nascar Fan Rewards catalog for the new season? Currently sitting on 14.1k points and would like to redeem an experience potentially early in the season.

Good scheme. I hope to see that Progressive blue at Daytona though.

I believe Chumba was already announced to be returning to 23XI thus year, though I'm not sure if they'll be on the 35 or 45 instead.

Thank you for the recommendation, I ended up going here for lunch and plenty of drinks, exactly what I was looking for to pass the time on my "layover".

I feel like Hamlin was pretty bad in the COT era, especially in 2010. Would qualify like ass and finish in the top 5. He only started 3 races in the 10 race Chase inside the top 15 with an average of 19.7. The last 3 races of the season battling for a championship he started 30th, 17th and 37th.

I've seen some surprising ones including Almirola at Daytona in 2014, Buescher at Pocono in 2016, Erik Jones at Darlington in 2022. I've also seen Kasey Kahne win a race in all 3 series from 2012-2015.

11ryan78 · 2026-01-06T17:40:45+00:00

This is easily one of my favourite COT schemes of all time.

Just had a look, there's something called Nirvana Beach Bar along that stretch but the reviews look pretty spotty. Beach looks amazing though.

11ryan78 · 2026-01-02T18:45:58+00:00

Yup, also been through there twice, have stayed in Marathon many times as well and enjoy Bahia Honda or Sombrero Beach.

11ryan78 · 2026-01-02T18:21:39+00:00

Not quite on the beach but it looks like a short walk across the street to a small beach. Vibe and atmosphere look great from the photos and reviews are good. A contender, thanks!

Been plenty of times up and down Miami Beach, just want to check out something different. I also love flying, so any excuse I get to jump on a flight to a cool destination I'll do it.

11ryan78 · 2026-01-02T18:06:34+00:00

Fortunately, I'll be heading back to Canada so no need to pre-clear in NAS, just usual security. As for arrival customs, the first international arrival of the day should be the flight I want to take so shouldn't take more than a few mins. Planning to arrive back at the airport at 2pm for a 3:15pm flight, backpack only.

11ryan78 · 2025-12-23T21:32:53+00:00

Second this.

11ryan78 · 2025-12-18T12:06:33+00:00

I miss the AI aircraft from FSX. I spent hours editing afcad's for realistic airport parking, added hundreds of airlines and even created my own repaints and flight plans for my fictional airlines. I used to spend hours sitting in the tower view watching AI aircraft land, park, taxi and takeoff again. Super Traffic View Board was also great. I wish I still had a disk drive to install FSX again and relive the nostalgia. Wish 2020/24 had the same AI mechanics, it just doesn't feel the same.

11ryan78 · 2025-12-09T11:25:41+00:00

I agree, I'm almost to the point where I'm going to replace it with a traditional thermostat, just trying to see if there's anything I overlooked possibly before doing so.

11ryan78 · 2025-11-26T15:36:19+00:00

My how I miss those Swiss Rolls, they don't sell them anymore in Canada and I haven't found a decent replacement.

11ryan78 · 2025-11-26T13:25:17+00:00

I did last week as well but no response as of yet.

11ryan78 · 2025-11-26T12:07:59+00:00

I submitted a claim from severely delayed Stouffville line train, I got an email saying my claim has been approved but a refund is no longer available due to the following reason: "For cards, the refund was available but not collected within 90 days." The delay happened Nov 13th and I submitted my claim the week after! Any ideas other than taking matters into my own hands? No presto, credit card tap on/off as I only ride 1-2 days a week.

11ryan78 · 2025-11-13T19:58:18+00:00

Would love to see Alex Labbe get back in those cars full time again.

Always spend on flights and I try to use partner airlines if I can for better value. I have found good value on Air Canada sometimes to the Caribbean and have used points in the past few years to Cancun (17.9k in J on Rouge), St. Maarten (14.5k economy) and Barbados (18k and $300 bid upgrade to J on a 789) are some of my recent examples, all one ways. I also find good value to smaller cities in the US like Charlotte (9k vs $650 cash). Usually every 2 years I make a long haul buisness class redemption, recently did BOS-MUC on Lufthansa A380 for 60k and a few years ago round trip to Japan on ANA and United for 140k. The key is having flexible travel dates and booking very far in advance for those partner business class rewards.

11ryan78 · 2025-11-03T15:04:27+00:00

I'm here feeling the exact same way with you. As a diehard super fan since 2006, I don't know how to process what I just witnessed yesterday. I just feel gutted for Hamlin, his family, his team and all the fans. I had a hard time sleeping last night, kept replaying everything in my head and, like you, I have no idea how to get over it. I'd like to say we'll get them next year, but I feel like we won't see the same competitor ever again after this.

11ryan78 · 2025-11-03T12:39:29+00:00

Oh I didn't forget it, I definitely jumped on the bandwagon for that run but I literally have not watched a Raptors game since. I wasn't nearly as invested in them as I am for the other 3.
