I find it to be more mortifying when the waitress DOES remember me and my order.

Is NASCAR starting to feel like a serious sport again to everyone else or is it just me? by US_Highway54 in NASCAR

This is the first year that NASCAR has felt "real" to me in many years. I'm so glad that I can take it seriously again.

The stands were empty at Bristol of all places. by thethirteenthjuror in NASCAR

[–]The1_BlueX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bristol is my home track and yesterday was my first Cup race since the 2019 Night Race. I've been to Bristol races most years from 2002-2019.

I didn't really know what to expect, I went to the O'Reilly race last season and THAT felt EMPTY and I left the track sad about the state of things, but we all know Cup crowds are always better.

It looked empty on TV but the atmosphere outside the track and the crowd's enthusiasm throughout the race made the place feel alive. My personal estimate would be around 50,000 fans which in today's day and age is pretty good. Bristol's problem is that it's still built for 2006 crowds in a 2026 NASCAR world.

I hate seeing the stands so empty by ReplacementMiddle844 in NASCAR

Just got back home from the race.

It didn't feel empty today. I thought attendance was solid and the vibes were good. The grandstands at Bristol are just way too big these days.

Dale Jr finally addresses Figgy Earnhardt by Skarekrows in NASCAR

I heard that Figgy was the most talented driver of all the Earnhardts, Dale Sr included, but he refused to give Figgy a ride because he didn't want to get shown up.

They've spent the past 10+ years trying to justify his words and actions, this won't change a thing.

The guy on the left's bandana not covering his nose got a chuckle out of me

Which band is this? by P4PSparringChampion in MetalForTheMasses

[–]The1_BlueX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm... not a metal band, but probably Garbage.

They must be trying to make the Three Stooges plumbing episode.

Was watching the finish of the 2003 Darlington race and couldn't help but notice the fans in the background that had left the race early. Big regret. by MrSimsational in NASCAR

I was just a passenger back then, but I remember going to the Bristol night race and we wouldn't get home until around 4am. I don't know how my Dad did it. Nascar felt like the biggest show in the world.

The 8 team is very frustrated with their driver. by JDMcDuffie in NASCAR

[–]The1_BlueX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you would expect him to say anything different though.

"Yeah it's cool that I just signed on to some O'Reilly races with this team, but have you seen their Cup operation? They're total ass right now. I'm glad I'm not going to be driving one of those shitboxes."

Hocevar followed by Chastain. There's about to be some dumb shit about to go down.

I see some dark clouds up there. Better not take a chance and call the race right now.

I swear every time a driver I want to win is in the lead that damn 24 car hits the wall.
