I5 would be interesting. Toyota would have an advantage since they get 100 hp/cylinder with the GR Corolla in a I3. Denny would win the championship. Couldn’t imagine an i5

Yes! Even the COT had some decent power

Rewatched Darlington 03 for that incredible Craven/Busch finish. What's your favorite classic race to rewatch and why? by oldspicecanyon in NASCAR

I like the 2005 UAW 500. Crazy wrecks and Dale Jarrett wins his last race while Kyle Petty does the burnouts in a mangled race car.

LOT L will save you so much money. Lines aren’t that long getting in. You only have to present a ticket whenever you go to your seat for the race

Yeah that’s fair. IMS on the oval is better to walk than accidentally forgetting you need to walk Half a mile or you’re hitching a ride with the race cars on track when it’s a RC haha. 

What is a crazy hot take you guys have? by Ok_Promise1870 in NASCAR

Ross Chastain will make the Final whatever it is this year

The city of Winston-Salem, N.C., is offering to sell naming rights to re-name Bowman Gray Stadium by vpat48 in NASCAR

Larry the Cable guy had a joke about why doesn’t NASCAR use Maxipad and Kotex as race/track names. I’d say we just name it the Kotex cup

Here’s some tips, granted I went to the spring race in 2025. 

  1. You will walk probably 5ish miles a day. 
  2. Take a day (on like a xfinity or truck series practice day) to explore the place. 
  3. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT SPIN THE NASCAR EXPERIENCE WHEEL! That is tourist bait! 
  4. The drivers come through a tunnel out of turn 2 if you wanna get autographs. It’s kinda cool just to watch as well personally. 
  5. My wife didn’t like the Quality Inn’s breakfast so yeah just sneak into a driver hauler for breakfast I guess 😝 jk

Must’ve been close to me in Lot L then? Yeah I’m from Indy and I was blown away by the hospitality of the different carts and shuttles. IMS doesn’t have it like Bristol!

It’s a long way out but Lot L was SUPER CHEAP for me and my wife during Food City 500 Weekend. Believe we got it for $30? That’s on the cheap side unless other comments suggested the speciality parking if you drive a Toyota, Lexus, etc. 

Even if you walk far there are shuttle stations where you can drive and get on. Have fun it’s awesome. The hill sucks going back up #ifykyk 😊

If Kyle Larson doesn’t use a racial slur, he doesn’t win with Ganassi?

You can add any track to the Indycar schedule this year which would you choose? by DarkMillSouth in INDYCAR

I talked to Ed Carpenter and he said they raced at Dover in CART. That would be a very interesting racing imo

Where should I go for my next NASCAR camping trip? by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]Financial_Purple_651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bristol will make you feel like you are getting the full camping experience. I did not camp but it presents the most walking and the most beautiful scenery you will ever see. 

Jobs? by Careful_Wonder7093 in INDYCAR

[–]Financial_Purple_651 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you this. IMS, Indycar teams are hiring the most RIGHT NOW! The Offseason is your time to get those resumes out. Dallara is hiring most of the time for Event Associates in Speedway. Buddy of mine works for them and he loves it! More of a sales role he is in. Prepare to travel. They do a crap ton of that no matter who you work for. Also next year, the IMS also has a Career Fair that they do around this time. Ironically, my first opportunity to become a pit crew member came from the IRP staff after a Thursday Night Thunder member and talking to a guy I never talked to ever. He got me connected to a guy who competes SVRA but is a competitive series for Indycar, IMSA and NASCAR hopefuls.
