I've run out of gas a few times in my life, I only ever blamed myself, but next time it happens I might punch somebody else!

To think about Tony Stewart's love for racing Chevys and his driver wins the Daytona 500 with a switch this season to Fords.

Hey Bug, your team owner did good.

Congrats to Stewart/Haas for winning the Daytona 500.

Can't wait for F1 to start up. I wish they would bring back the V12's though.

Cool.

I really miss my NASCAR simulator though. I had that game running through my big screen with my wheel mounted on a table sitting right in front of the TV. Had the sound running through my surround sound too. I'd rattle the pictures on the walls. I haven't checked lately but I used to race on WWW.OpenSpeedway.com. Those guys are probably still there doing it though. How many games last for over 10 years? Jr and M. Waltrip used to run that game and some other real drivers too. Shit I may have to buck up for a new wheel now.

They have new mods for it and it still plays and runs better than sht for ps4. I just raced online through sierra and grand prix legends. I got the G27 logetech with add on shifter. It is an expensive toy. If I had some more money I would get a nice thrustmaster with ability to switch wheels so aren't running wheel for F1 and you can have a f1 wheel for f1

when I was in my teens I tried to race every week the same track as in real life. Going to try that again. Here is me finsihing last.

This was the first restrictor plate race I have watched all the way through in nearly 10 years. I stopped watching Talladega altogether, but would typically watch some Daytona...

With the stages, it made for varying strategies and it wasnt single line racing up against the wall for 198 laps and a crash at 199.

I think Nascar's onto something...at least it made this race interesting.

I like it, just don't understand why they feel the need to throw a caution after every stage. Reminds me of heat racing.

Yeah, didnt really like that...after stage 1, they did 8 caution laps...for what? 8 caution laps? at 2.5mi per lap that's 20 miles of caution. They need to fix that or if they continue down that road, not count those laps.

Agree, they need to end that aspect of it moving forward.

They they need to go to my point system and know that it's the best idea ever!

The Sauber and Haas liveries are my favorites in F1 this year.

I think we'll see a little bit of a shake up on Mercedes dominance this year but Mercedes will still win the constructor's championship by a healthy margin.
