THREAD: Random racing stuff

10/02/1907: First organized automobile race in Vermont since 1903 fatality at St. Johnsbury. Walter Johnson of Essex Junction wins 11-lap race at #VT State Fairgrounds in White River Junction. John Manley of Brattleboro wins 22-lap race the next day.

Been immersed in the sport my entire life. The Prime races are the only ones I watch all year. Outstanding, top to bottom.

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

Two different numbers for NASCAR this week.

NASCAR went back to the Nielsen Panel-only numbers this month and received a 2.6 million average.

But Prime uses the Panel + "Big Data" measurement (which NASCAR had been using) and reports 3 million -- most-watched Prime race yet.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

No.

[Dirty Mo Media @DirtyMoMedia]

Do you agree? 🤔

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

HOLY SHIT YES

[ARCA Menards Series @ARCA_Racing]

🏁 @AndyJankowiak gets his FIRST career win at @TALLADEGA in his 48th ARCA Menards Series start!

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

I'm not a huge Cleetus guy, but half of the drivers in NASCAR did it this way for the first 40 years of the sport, and ARCA has literally been this business model forever

[Sammy Hughes @hughes3511]

@MattBayes01 @jeff_gluck That is not entry level. That might be entry level for official NASCAR, but there are many, many other tracks to get experiencing

@pkligerman Stop trying to make Bowman Gray funny.

Sincerely,
Literally everyone else in the sport

Actually I think it's Jim McKay, not Larry Nuber.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Hey @DaleJr - saw this on Facebook. This guy might be crew, or maybe he's a Wrangler rep? Any recollection of him? I know nothing about motorcycle racing, but that shirt stands out big time. Mike Kidd is the rider. Larry Nuber doing the starting lineup.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

@girlsthinkimgay @STaranto92 I would add to this, but there's an NHOF nominee with the same last name who has tracked me down twice on the phone after commenting on his son's bigoted public remarks and I don't want the heat.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

@TheSceneVault Didn't he break a leg at Pocono around 1982?

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Two crew guys celebrating on the track surface as DW crosses the line is fairly wild

[Real Racing @alwaysrealracin]

Darrell Waltrip sends Terry Labonte into Dale Earnhardt on the last lap to come from 3rd to 1st and win Martinsville

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

@SethEggert91 @NASCAR @jeff_gluck @MotorReference He says Cup. He never made a start in any national (or even regional) series that I'm aware of.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

For the love of god @SethEggert91 PLEASE give us the full list dating back to 1949

[Seth Eggert @SethEggert91]

.@MyattSnider has gone from @NASCARONFOX pit spotter to mid-race relief driver for an unwell @Alex_Bowman.

Snider is the first mid-race relief driver in the @NASCAR Cup Series since 2020.

@SethEggert91 @NASCAR @jeff_gluck @MotorReference This is G O L D

Insane that I didn't know about this site. You are a gift to the sport.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Put this in a Lemons car immediately

[Wood Brothers Racing @woodbrothers21]

Once upon a time (2021) Leonard built a 50% scale 427 replica

People said that’s cool, but does it run?

Once upon a time (today) Leonard revved a new handmade 50% scale Boss 429 to 6000rpm without sending pushrods through the ceiling

^disassembled for a bit to tidy up

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

I hope nobody shows @markmartin this photo while we're talking about number placement. (Mark, I know your actual stance on this topic. I'm kidding and I love you. The RTA is dumb. Amen.)

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Yeah he was the guy that Tiny Lump pulled out of a burning car

[Brock Beard @LASTCARonBROCK]

MARVIN
FANCH?!

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Not near a TV today, so I tuned into WDEV to listen to the Daytona 500... and they're not carrying it. Sad. Feels like a betrayal.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Sometimes the algorithm gets it right

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

@SorenWarde @awfulannouncing I'm not being misogynistic. Bad is bad, no matter what. Rick Allen does it, too.

[Justin St. Louis @Justin_StLouis]

Jamie Little trying so hard to create a packaged highlight that she completely missed a great finish. Other guys trying to give her space end up walking on her and each other. What a mess. RELAX AND CALL THE RACE! Be elegant on the cooldown lap. This is textbook @awfulannouncing.

[NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Trucks @NASCAR_Trucks]

FOUR-WIDE AT THE LINE!!

CHANDLER SMITH WINS!
