NASCAR 2016

NASCAR is going to do a Xfinity series test at Indianapolis Motorspeedway in October. It for testing out Restrictor plates at the track as a way to slow the xfinity cars down.

I am hope I am wrong about thoughts about this being a bad idea. I saying this for a 2 reasons.
1.) The cup series had a restrictor plate race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the fall 2000 race and it was stinker of a race. New Hampshire is a flat like IMS is with the only difference is New Hampshire.

2.) NASCAR used a higher drag package for the cup cars for the 2015 Brickyard 400. That higher drag package was supposed to work very similar like a restrictor plate race at Daytona and Talladega. That package did have the cars draft, but the turns of the track was the issues besides it being very hard to pass even with the ability to draft from another car. That package also flopped at Michigan for the cup cars last year and NASCAR decided not to use the package this year.

It is official that Kasey Kahne still with Hendrick Motorsport through 2018 based on sponsorship announcement today . One of the 5 cars sponsor's Great Clips has announced a 2 year extension with Kasey Kahne/Hendrick

Ty Dillon mentioned on twitter that his 2017 plans are finalized. The catch is they haven't been announced. What I know for sure is Ty Dillon isn't doing full time in the Xfinity series. I am saying that because RCR announced during this weekend that they signed Daniel Hemric to a multi year deal for the Xfinity Series.

Daniel Hemric is a Brad Keselowski Racing truck series driver that doesn't have a win, but was 2nd in points before the chase restarted the points order.

Kurt Busch's ex girlfriend Patricia Driscoll got indicted today. She is now charged with 2 counts of wire fraud, 2 counts of mail fraud, 2 counts of tax invasion, and 1 count of attempts of interfere with administration of internal revenue laws. The ex girlfriend mentioned is the one that caused NASCAR to suspend Kurt Busch in February of 2015 before the domestic assault charge was dropped.

Found out something real ugly. The NASCAR Hall of Fame was of the buildings damaged during the out of control protest in Charlotte. The NASCAR Hall of Fame had exterior Windows broken.

The good news is none of the protesters stole any of the artifacts and didn't going inside to building after breaking the Exterior Window.

Yup, the windows are boarded up and it's still business as usual.

What is up with the Sprint Cup Toyotas??? They win all the time now. It's so strange. In 2014, Joe Gibbs Racing only had two wins, then the new models came, and they started winning more in 2015, now in 2016, they are winning almost every single race. Something is up. They are also almost always failing post-race-inspection.

On property, that's about it. Depending on when you're going, a majority of the upcoming races are on NBC and you can watch them in your room. Personally, I love NASCAR but I'm not giving up WDW time to watch a race. I'll keep checking the Live Leaderboard on nascar.com to keep up on all the action.

I am so glad Harvick took the win away from the Toyotas!
CHEVY NATION!!!

I do in my hotel room, but that is only when I take an afternoon break. Afternoon breaks is something I do usually do at WDW unless I have a lunch ADR.

I miss the ending the race since I do ADRS at WDW that has nothing to do with ESPN Club/Bar. I am the type of person who would like to go back inside the park after my 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. ADR meal is done or being at Epcot by 4:15 in the afternoon due to Dinner ADR. Afternoon break isn't caused by NASCAR since I take after breaks every day at WDW. When I go to WDW it's very hot out the time of the year I usually go and the fact I want my bad knees, ankles, and feet be in good shape as possible for the later part of the trip.

For Night races, I don't see the entire race since I would be at a theme park at night.

Dale Junior isn't going to race race rest of this year based on an announcement while I was gone. Jeff Gordon has 1 cup race left after Dover and Alex Bowman doing the rest of the races.

Dale wants to be back racing at the 2017 Daytona 500.

 

[patch553]

yeah our trip is for the coke 600 2017,so all being well he'll be healthy and racing again.
that being said I'd like to see bowman have a strong run in the 88 in the mean time. we all know what Gordon can do but even he cant pick the team up this year
