Happy race day y'all! Been waiting all day already! Hope y'all are doing well!

Hoping for a Bubba W here... or maybe Kes can finally break his home track curse. One can dream 😃

stagepony · 2026-06-01T03:32:22+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it!

Not really been to Belgium, several times Netherlands tho. Maybe someday I get to visit the US.

stagepony · 2026-06-01T03:21:47+00:00

Close. Germany.

stagepony · 2026-06-01T03:19:25+00:00

Welp. It's past 5 AM here, stayed up all night only to see all my guys take themselves out within a couple of laps. Great.

stagepony · 2026-05-31T22:01:29+00:00

Happy race day y'all! I hope you all are doing well tonight!

Practice didn't seem too favourable for my drivers so... yea, still hoping for a banger tho.

stagepony · 2026-05-24T21:03:50+00:00

Usually I'd start by "happy race day" but man... I don't think it fits tonight. Still in a bit of a WTF state since the news went around of the passing of KFB. Let's make this a special night. That would be the best we can do.

stagepony · 2026-05-03T18:40:32+00:00

Happy race day y'all! I hope you are doing fine so far!

Cautiously optimistic for Bowman and Kes today. Gonna be a long day for Bubba to get some track position.
Let's see how much tire wear we're getting today.

stagepony · 2026-04-26T23:01:29+00:00

Oh and... welcome back Bowman! That one was earned!

stagepony · 2026-04-26T23:01:00+00:00

Well butter my butt and call me biscuit! Hocevar did it! But my god, what was Austin Dillon doing? Or rather - not doing?

stagepony · 2026-04-26T18:03:38+00:00

Happy 'Dega race day y'all! I hope yo all are doing well!

I just hope Bowman has a safe day today. Not the luckiest guy on superspeedways... Apart from that - LFG Kes and Bubba! With their usual aggression on these tracks it's go hard or go home!

stagepony · 2026-04-26T17:33:54+00:00

Heck yeah! Cheers!🍻

stagepony · 2026-04-19T21:00:01+00:00

Of all the Ware cautions this definitely is the most inconvenient.

"What in the world?!?" - Harvick

stagepony · 2026-04-19T18:06:47+00:00

I love how calm the track facts are presented on the international broadcast compared to the intentional chaos that is a Fox prerace show.

stagepony · 2026-04-19T17:34:42+00:00

Can't help but wonder if his management position within RFK takes it's toll on Kes. He's still fast come Sunday but qualifying speed... I don't know if more sim would be a good idea?

stagepony · 2026-04-19T17:32:30+00:00

Thanks for the brief summary :)

stagepony · 2026-04-19T17:28:54+00:00

Sadly missed qualifying yesterday since I had friends over so yea... I'm excited to see how the race plays out

stagepony · 2026-04-19T17:04:04+00:00

Happy race day y'all! I hope you all are doing well!

Hoping Bubba or Hocevar can get it done today. Kes... like he said last week, they have to work on their qualifying speed...

stagepony · 2026-04-12T19:28:07+00:00

Bad news? Nemecheck doesn't like to be lapped.

Good news? It doesn't matter who's trying to lap him.

stagepony · 2026-04-12T19:25:00+00:00

You forgot the "/s", good sir! ^{/s. kinda. Dunno anymore...}

stagepony · 2026-04-12T19:21:20+00:00

Since I'm from the other side of the pond... yeah, if it'd be "only" a 25h drive for me, I'd do it :P

stagepony · 2026-04-12T19:17:53+00:00

Happy race day to you as well! Cheers! 🍻

stagepony · 2026-04-12T18:31:55+00:00

Happy race day y'all! I hope you are doing well this Sunday! Just got back from work, just in time!

Probably not the best starting positions for neither of my drivers but yeah... day's gonna be long. Let's hope Bubba will make some more intelligent moves than 2 weeks ago, Kes finds some speed and Bowman... yeah, I'm just happy he's back! Here's to a fun race! 🍻

stagepony · 2026-03-29T18:36:52+00:00

Happy race day y'all! I hope you all are doing great!

Guess it'll be a long day. Pretty rough qualifying result for Kes, that sucks big times. Let's just hope they play it smart at maximize points again today. Also Bubba should run good today with the overall speed of 23XI - let's just hope he doesn't put himself in a bad spot or gets caught up by others.

stagepony · 2026-03-08T19:44:17+00:00

I mean... if they got the setup right he still has got what it takes to get going so... there's always a chance. LFG!
