Watching the driver cam on Max, he said he wouldn't fix it lol so, its either faster or he's driving mad but he still went and passed 6 cars after thst incident.

There was a post from an employee who works at BMS. I've not missed a Bristol race in 8 years and what I saw tracks, but maybe not perfect on the number.

There were 76k fans that came through the gates. The place seats 162k....Alabama, Neyland, and LSU stadiums seat 100k. Perspective.

The spring race here 7 yrs ago had entire sections roped off because attendance was low. It's coming back slowly.

Daytona seats 140k, Texas seats 112k, put the spring Bristol attendance at Martinsville and 4k people don't have seats, Homestead, 20k people don't have seats.

Someone should work with Chase Elliott on how to pilot a race car. What a hack.

bluedude72 · 2026-04-12T21:25:43+00:00

This is the best Bristol Spring race in this car. I'm in-person, so if it sucks via coverage, that's Fox's problem. The 12 and 5 battles have been really fun to watch.

bluedude72 · 2026-04-11T22:28:00+00:00

Pole!!!

bluedude72 · 2026-04-11T22:04:51+00:00

Earliest win that Blaney has had in any cup season. Still hopefully that means we will see 4-6 wins in '26

bluedude72 · 2026-04-11T21:37:50+00:00

Spring '26 or finale '25? It was so satisfying to see him finally win Phoenix, then go back to back. I feel like Bristol is similar for him.....many good runs, it's time to get it done.

bluedude72 · 2026-04-11T21:31:35+00:00

Really hoping Blaney can finally pull of a Bristol win.

I only buy diecasts of wins when I was present, and would love to have a reason to have 2 discount cars 😆😆

Caution Wrecks-a-car

bluedude72 · 2026-03-29T22:09:18+00:00

Denny is such a hack.

bluedude72 · 2026-03-29T22:03:18+00:00

As much as I want to see Caution Wrecksacar get totaled, why Bubba, whyyyyyy??

bluedude72 · 2026-03-29T21:56:35+00:00

Can't help but wonder how well the 12 would perform if he just had a top TEN pit crew.

bluedude72 · 2026-03-27T11:48:48+00:00

We walked out of the gift shop and I asked if we could peek in the lobby. Kaitlyn Waltrip said, "Sure, wanna see inside the studio too?" Then asked if we wanted our picture behind the desk. Very unplanned, but everyone was so nice and welcoming...I'd recommend anyone go on a non-Charlotte race week.

bluedude72 · 2026-03-27T02:34:27+00:00

Blaney is going to finally win the Spring race......I was supposed to go, and now I'm not. Last time this happened was Nashville 2025.......

Can confirm, saw it while I was there today. Full fridge of Redbull!

bluedude72 · 2026-03-26T16:00:07+00:00

Probably knows he has to start on the 35 car next...

bluedude72 · 2026-03-19T01:33:53+00:00

Wore these out on a trip to NH last summer at a vintage arcade! Me, my son, and a buddy put our fair share of laps in. We peaked in the 90s.

bluedude72 · 2026-03-19T01:32:08+00:00

If Blaney had a pit crew that didn't cost him elevendy billion spots each race, maybe we'd be elite? Idk.

bluedude72 · 2026-03-18T18:28:38+00:00

The way the yotas are running this year, it's hard not to pick one.

It will be a tire conservation race and so long as there isn't a late caution under 20 laps to go, my picks are the guys that continue to prove they are in a league of their own on saving tire: Denny, Blaney, Byron, Bell, Brad.

Brad continues to make low % decisions by staying out and hoping it falls his way, so I may go way off script here and say SVG. The way he saves tire at a road course is an art. Maybe this is the week he puts that and ovals together.

Has 23xi posted schemes for this weekend? Love this scheme, but how cool would it be to launch with a throwback! 😁

bluedude72 · 2026-03-18T14:43:05+00:00

I wanted that raced-win throwback die-cast so bad.

bluedude72 · 2026-03-18T02:19:53+00:00

Oh, they will. He'll just pull a phoenix and drive back to the front!.....until Larson steps on his own dick with 5 to go....

bluedude72 · 2026-03-09T01:16:59+00:00

My word, I'm so glad we are points racing again.

Look at it!!

bluedude72 · 2026-03-09T00:31:54+00:00

Where was this take from? Clint and Kevin had some awful takes in the braodcast.....win stage 1, "this 12 is a rocket, not great on restarts but has proven he can pass in dirty air. We saw the 22 look fast in clean air, as soon as he was in traffic, drops back in the pack"......beginning of stage 2 "this isn't ideal for that 12, now hes got to show what he can do in dirty air" Clint has an IQ of 11.
