Re: 2017 Daytona Speedweeks
Not a fan of NASCAR, but it is nice to have professional auto racing officially starting for the year soon. However, major testing in school the day after Daytona means I'm gonna' have to be focusing on that more than the race. Anyways, here are my rather early predictions (I can't wait to laugh at these after the race is over)
DNQs : Brendan Gaughan and DJ Kennington (I know its kinda unfortunate the two small one off teams don't qualify, but I don't know what else to suspect from them).
Three drivers who I want to win:
Ryan Blaney (My favorite NASCAR driver, it would also be awesome to see the Wood Brothers in victory lane at Daytona similar to the way Trevor Bayne was.)
Martin Truex Jr (Got so close to winning last year. There is also two former Andretti Autosport workers who work on the 78, and were friends with my father).
Michael Waltrip (Just so he can troll the racing world and win on his final start. I hate Waltrip, but it would be hilarious if he won).

Can we just use this thread for all of Speedweeks like how we've combined race threads for a while?

I don't have any objection to it - just keep the ARCA race stuff in the ARCA thread.
The NASCAR stuff can all go here.

Idiotic move from Hamlin. You can't leave the door open like that that long on the last lap and still expect to successfully block.

Re: 2017 Daytona Speedweeks
Hey Denny, you pinch, you pay.
Proud of Danica and Suarez today. They ran well.
Also love the irony that the first car to crash in the 2017 season was the one carrying the new title sponsor.
(If this thread is going to be used for Speedweeks, the title of the thread should probably be changed to reinforce that IMO.)

By Request, i edited the name of the Thread.
Clash Gets an OK Rating From Me. that may be the wierdest finish to a race at Daytona I've Ever Seen. and I See that Kyle Busch still Hasn't Changed.
I wasnt paying much attention to the Commentators but apparently they were really bad.

I guess its worth Noting that Jeff Green may be in a Non S&P Ride

I've heard Joy has been very off so far this year, i've gotta wonder if age is starting to get to him or his heart's not in it anymore, DW being terrible isn't a shocker.Cardinals5 wrote:Can we just talk about how awful Mike Joy and DW were?

Clash was okay. Hamlin's move was laughably silly and gave Penske that win on a silver platter. GG.

This is Alan Gustafson's 3rd straight Daytona 500 pole, the last person to do that is Ernie Elliott, Chase's uncle.

DNQs will be Timmy Hill and Corey LaJoie.

Wow, way to fail LaJoie. Take out the opposing non-charter who was faster than you for no good reason.
LaJoie didn't even need to do that. Now Brendan Gaughan is just gonna' start and park in the Daytona 500

Beard Motorsports came to race when they showed up in 2014. Pretty sure they won't park this year.

Re: 2017 Daytona Speedweeks
Congrats to Chase for the duel win.
And maybe Gaughan won't park similar to how Brian Keselowski did in 2011. The only thing is that he wasn't 10 seconds off the pace (but that could just have been a car problem in the 75, I'm just going to stop assuming things now)

Who thought it was a good idea to race extremely hard at lap 20 of 100? I understand you are going for the stage win and the points that come along with it but don't lose your mind when doing it

And a fantastic acrobatic move earns Matt Crafton a respectable 9.2/10! Just didn't really stick the landing by smashing onto the rear of Johnny Sauter.
Seriously though, I'm glad everyone is alright. Good job Kaz Grala! Also, after the destructive night he had, John Hunter Nemechek finished 4th.

Yeah, that was a BAD Race, a combination of the lap 2 wreck, the stupuid 5 minute rule, the end of stage one, the single file trains, the godawful Michael Waltrip Commentating, and the Last Lap was what did it for me
if this is a Sign on whats to come, its gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG Season.

Re: 2017 Daytona Speedweeks
I have never seen a car get that high in the air before. At least not in NASCAR. Had to have been like some ten or fifteen feet Crafton got off the ground, maybe more.
Kaz Grala was literally the only truck not involved in a crash tonight. Which is ironic because he was a ticking time bomb in the ARCA race. But he ran a good race, so I can't complain. Youngest ever Truck Series winner (I think) and fastest win, too. There's some titles to wear proudly. GW #33.
That entire race though...that was a shitshow. That was embarrassing.
