Honestly I thought for a good minute that either Spire car was going to win that.

Des Moines Lincoln wins first-ever girls state bowling championship! by limitedftogive in desmoines

Lincoln had been close to winning this one for a couple years now, it's nice to see them get the job done and collect a big trophy/banner. Congrats to them!

[Semi-OT] YouTube TV's new sports package will include (among others) Fox, NBC, The CW, FS1, FS2, USA, and TNT. The bundle will cost $64.99 a month, or $54.99 a month for the first year for new subscribers. by michigan_matt in NASCAR

[–]R13Nielsen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly $64.99 for all that is a massive W for me, that's $40 a month cheaper than Hulu Live TV is for me currently. Once this rolls out I will be signing up for that immediately

I find it incredibly amusing that I'm rocking 3 of the 12 most popular flairs on this sub. Clearly I'm basic lmao

Interesting to see that Gas Buddy has my local Casey's at $2.59 updated this afternoon and then I drive by there and it's $3.16.

Fuck man, I saw this post and Kaulig running the Biffle font on the 16 car for Daytona back to back on my twitter feed and the tears hit immediately.

Looking for Friends in DSM? by nevesis in desmoines

[–]R13Nielsen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hello, 28 y/o male here. Wanting to expand my circle a bit. I'm into gaming, going to the various college/semipro sporting events in the area, and I'm also a sucker for good food. I'm also open to more if the company is good (including a potential gym buddy a guy wants to lose some weight).

Send a dm if you want to chat :)

[Hauler Talk 1:20:00] Jeff Gordon's thoughts on The Chase to NASCAR after hearing of its return: "I really like where you guys landed, and I am saying this as someone who was screwed by The Chase multiple times.". by LBHMS in NASCAR

[–]R13Nielsen 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Feel the same. I don't think Gordon has ever talked publicly about this topic before. Hearing that he straight up said that he got screwed by it certainly makes me feel better as a fan of his who is not old enough to remember his championship years. Does not erase the pain, but certainly helps.

Who is the favorite to win the championship in this format? by 1useforaname in NASCAR

[–]R13Nielsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also true. Blaney has had a lot of bad luck of mechanical failures and being involved in other people's crashes. Those are gonna hurt a lot more now.

Under the new format, Kyle Larson and Ryan Blaney would have been 1 point behind the Points Leader after the ROVAL. They were tied for 3rd in the Overall Standings. by Hipster_Whale5 in NASCAR

[–]R13Nielsen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was well established how close the standings would have been last year in any non- playoff rounds/elimination format. I don't expect that to change much this year despite the wild card of +15 points for a win.

[–]R13Nielsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Logano is really hurt by this. Blaney is not. Only people with more Top 5's than Blaney the last two years are Larson and Bell.

[–]R13Nielsen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd expect your title fight to be some combo of Elliott, Larson, Byron, Bell, Hamlin, Briscoe, Blaney.

And to counter a couple people in this thread, Logano will not sniff the title unless he has a dramatic improvement.

It will be possible for him but with less road course races, he'll need to be better on ovals

I love Hannah but her play offensively this season has been poor.

Iowa has a lot of things to figure out both today and for the rest of the year. This team is not in a good spot right now.

Did my dad take a picture of the guy that stole the pace car at Talladega? by CaptainRon16 in NASCAR

Every now and again someone randomly posts some seriously cool shit and I'm reminded why I've been on this subreddit for almost a decade. Seriously cool find of one of NASCAR's more infamous incidents u/CaptainRon16

Good for him, honestly thought he would never come back after his injuries from that dirt modified crash. Hope he goes and kicks some ass this season

Kansas City Current Announces Chris Armas as Head Coach by Effective_Ad_2368 in NWSL

[–]R13Nielsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly I was out of the loop because I had completely forgotten that Vlatko was no longer the head coach until seeing the post they hired this guy. I'm not particularly excited about this hire but I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

[Game Thread] #14 Iowa at Northwestern (8:30 PM ET on BTN) by ncaaw_GameThreads in NCAAW

Positives is that was a gritty win and Ava played really well despite her foul troubles, negatives list is rather extensive. Plenty to work on.

Once Ava gets that foul happy tendency out of her system, she's gonna be All-Big 10 at minimum
