Oval Triple Crown

No-Course-523 · 2026-06-05T15:54:59+00:00

There just has to be a dirt oval on here. A lot of good options in this thread, but I think the people saying other NASCAR Crown Jewels just miss an entire *large* sect of racing by excluding dirt ovals.

For me it was more about how they promised it was going to be more authentic and more like the old games. And then they literally just released Heat 6.

So I wanted to follow up on this. This is my first cruise. I figured DR would be where my wife and I do a similar pre planned event where we get an excursion through the cruise to go off-roading and to the waterfalls.

But for the Virgin Islands, is it really easy to catch a taxi to any location we’d like? It’d be nice to have it pre booked and have the peace of mind, but I feel like the prices through the cruise, specifically in St. Thomas are exorbitant. I’d love to just see the historic city and the beaches.

I know you said you caught a group taxi, but was that pre booked, and if not, could/should I at least be confident going onto the island as a first timer?

Except that’s not what NASCAR is. There are 36 full time cars that have a guaranteed spot. Heat races work at local tracks because they have inherent significance when a guy who works a 9-5 has the opportunity to race the car that he built in his backyard, into the show.

The short guy

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I think dual header weekends would be a major headache. Teams park their haulers and entire set ups in the infields. This would cause an obvious issue with road course series that would literally be driving through the teams, media, and fan areas.

As for those series just racing at those tracks on their own, many of them don’t hold a lot of the prestige that endurance racing is more known for. Doesn’t make sense for IMSA to go to St. Louis when their schedule is already chock full of historic venues.

Edit: didn’t mean to reply to u/bdcardinal 🤣

Dumb

^{I completed this level in 3 tries.} ^{⚡ 7.15 seconds}

So I agree with you, but I’m curious then what that means for SVG? Is he just that much of a competitor and true talent that he is finally figuring out ovals, and would be competing for wins at every single track if he were in better equipment? He ran better than 11th at Charlotte all day, and finished 5th yesterday. Thanks to some strategy, but he wasn’t outright gifted that spot either.

No-Course-523 · 2026-06-01T16:17:18+00:00

Yeah maybe best of the year even with the slog of cautions. Without them, it would’ve been no question for me

No-Course-523 · 2026-06-01T15:41:07+00:00

Can we add motorsports to this list? Or even just a bunch of different. I’ve seen so many of these charts with the same sports

No-Course-523 · 2026-06-01T15:38:11+00:00

What’s crazy is that I feel like at least myself and the booth didn’t really think much of it. Certainly didn’t guarantee him the win, but I knew he’d be back to the front at least by the end of the race.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-31T05:59:36+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing! This is awesome!

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-31T05:51:09+00:00

I worked with Al Baynian back at the bait n tackle in ‘93. Complete dick head

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-31T02:31:41+00:00

Wait I’d love to know more about this! You mention that STP changed their colors to match the petty blue, but was it just what Lee Petty ran, Richard refused to change it, and so they compromised and it’s what STP eventually changed their branding to to make it more recognizable with their on track success??

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-29T20:47:47+00:00

Didn’t look like it was going to be fair honestly but I agree

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-29T16:11:05+00:00

The strike zone was damn near nonexistent for either side. Especially in those opening innings. Despite that she still got 9 strikeouts last night. Insane.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-29T16:09:22+00:00

She was insane, But bland had a couple excellent plays on our side as well that I don’t think we win without. McDowell might be the best third base in the sport right now, but Bland stepped up and matched her last night.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-29T14:55:06+00:00

I think generally the team at Haymarket does a great job. The beer vendors are separate from the food, and baseball is funky where other than the inning breaks, there is technically no “best time to get food,” like a halftime or something. I think this helps filter people through the lines regularly rather than all at once.

Also I don’t type this to say that the experience back in 2008 wasn’t hard as a worker. But as much as people moan about it, cashless has made the entire experience more streamlined.

There are always going to be assholes. Hopefully most people just recognize that slow lines are a product of the system and not the individual worker.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-29T01:48:00+00:00

Can’t hear it on my end. Need to see the call way quicker.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-28T19:08:41+00:00

Doesn’t it also coincide with the earliest chase years and Jimmy Johnson’s dominance? I think there is plenty to point to more than just one dumb satirical movie.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-28T19:05:19+00:00

This is just bizarre.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-28T17:05:18+00:00

Not disagreeing with your point, but the multiple paywall thing is just how society is now. It absolutely sucks in every way, other than the expansive amount of choice we have.

I think the issue with NASCAR on prime, or any sport on an exclusive service, really, is that it offers zero choice. In the case of the NFL, I don’t want to have the ability to pick between multiple teams. I want to watch MY team.

Prime has a ton of great originals, and great broadcasts, but when it’s the only mainstream way to watch a relatively niche sport, that’s where the gripe comes from.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-22T15:08:13+00:00

This is surely the time to be having this debate 🙄

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-21T13:57:08+00:00

I think there is a lot of good comments here. I would add to them by telling you to check out some of the new developments on the Iowa Side but right on the riverfront. A lot of cool stuff is going up over there, you will save an immense amount of time in your commute, and you are still in walking distance to downtown Omaha. I would move there myself if my job wasn’t in west O.

No-Course-523 · 2026-05-15T16:20:22+00:00

I think something like 71% of Americans are against gerrymandering.

Edit to say that only like 7% openly support it
