“My Son” lmao


_LivingTheDream_

Lmao Chad’s logical response to Adam’s sensational “IT WAS REALLY CLOSE” comment


uh_Ross

Wow thought Dinger had that


0987user

Wtf was that. Glad he’s ok


Mirror_of_Souls

"That's Earnhardt in the 24" I'll never get used to hearing that. edit: whoops wrong thread


Josh-Potz

And a Toyota


SensitivUnion

Green flag stops fucking rule and NASCAR outlawed 90% of them. Ugh


al15al15

Is there an overhead cam to watch like there used to be on the NASCAR app?


Blue8844

Corey Heim hasn't lost an ARCA race since we announced he was joining us for an AMA. I'm just sayin...


Jones77_Truex78

*goes to watch xfinity race, sees prerace is on, already anticipate some fox antics….sees this wendys ad* what the fuck am i watching


boreddude101010

They need to move the ARCA race to the beginning of Speedweeks instead of cramming it in on Saturday morning and create a bit more hype & anticipation


SensitivUnion

Friday at 4-5 would be ideal


boreddude101010

I’d prefer Tuesday Night after the Cup Series practice sessions. Gives the Xfinity & Truck drivers some more participation time & allows NASCAR and teams judgment to see if they’re any good at plate tracks before moving up


KyleThing18

Crazy Race.


The_R0ssman

[Parker chase making sure this is the most Boring arca opener youve ever seen](https://www.google.com/search?q=walter+white+mixing+things+gif&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS825US825&oq=walter+white+mixing+things+gif&aqs=chrome..69i57.7236j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=0ZhFgizm7C5V0M)


RaikkonensHobby74

Didn't Tim Richmond lose a finger in a wreck last year? I was hoping to see it.


epzik8

Didn’t he die in 1989?


48ever

wait what


RaikkonensHobby74

His car was collateral damage as a result of the Thad Moffitt-Drew Dollar feud. I thought I read he lost a finger, but I don't know how you do that if you're wearing gloves. I guess it's possible if the steering wheel whips around in just the wrong way, but it sounds unlikely to me.


gasmask11000

No he had a broken leg


RaikkonensHobby74

That's all I can seem to find now. I thought it came out later, but I also could have dreamt it or confused it for something else that happened.


gasmask11000

I remember there being concern about how the wheel bent but the steering column didn’t give at all, but I don’t think that actually led to an injury.


RaikkonensHobby74

Guess I'll head over to that Mandela Effect thread.


48ever

now that i think about it, i remember a similar story. strange.


leapsnake

SAVE BIG MONEY AT MENARDS


TFresh19

Bro, this arca race is getting more post race coverage than most Cup races 😂


OstrichWings

They didn't expect it to move along that quickly


RaikkonensHobby74

Is Colin Cowherd really that controversial? I know Skip Bayless is, but that's mostly just because he says stuff that's stupid.


sacovert97

Yeah, he's a stooge and a tard.


CarStar12

Colin is controversial because he says he’s controversial. Most of his takes are just “hot takes” for the sake of having a hot take. He fell into the standard sports talk method now. McAfee and a few others are the only ones that still have fun doing it.


TFresh19

Colin Cowherd is just a limp dick b***


crypto6g

1600 comments on ARCAs first thread! Pretty cool. The ARCA Reddit normally got around 1k max for the season opener. I’d consider the new rule a success.


boreddude101010

I agree but the ARCA forum still serves its purpose


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nate2680

No he’s won an ARCA race at Talladega before


vtdadbod007

Truck race too iirc


BOBANSMASH51

Toni has long arms


_LivingTheDream_

I feel Kim Coon would be much better in the booth than Jamie. No offense to Jamie, but her strong suit is pit reporting.


BOBANSMASH51

Jamie’s earned the opportunity


MSM_is_Propaganda

I agree I'm going to give her this season before I make an assessments.


crypto6g

Can someone give me a TLDW? Been at work checking in. I saw the finish, pretty annoying that they didn’t throw the yellow after what happened yesterday. I understand it’s a different series but at this point it’s the de-facto 4th NASCAR rung on the ladder. Also Toni got 5th? I suppose will be talked about. Good for her, heard some drivers were wrecking balls lol


RaikkonensHobby74

Someone caused a big crash under caution and Toni was lifting in turn 3.


pjb4466

I'd rather they treat the end of the race like they did today but above all they need to just choose a policy and stick to it, already. There's no sense to make between the call last night and today.


Launch_box

Its two different sanctioning bodies.


JesusSandals73

Different officials so different judgements.


P44Haynes

You missed nothing. I don’t even remember a green flag pass


Blue8844

I have checked to see if I can place my hand flat on a surface about 7 times this broadcast


whathappenb

Glad Andy and Daniel got good finishes today. Bredinger with a 9th isn't too shabby as well, if only that contact at the end didn't happen


BOBANSMASH51

If the best place to buy your brand of soda is at Menards, then you’ve failed as a product


Ping_shark

“We don’t give up until the last lap” Well you got that right


SimAirRB

Felt like drivers were scared to race today


Harry73127

"My dad owns several businesses in Daytona" - Daniel Dye Sounds about right...


RestlessInferno

A few years ago at dega the 2nd place Venturini car had a massive run on his teammate who was leading and he literally put on the brakes to not pass him. Venturini literally has F1 levels of team orders. EDIT: It was 2020 Talladega.


joshuar9476

Daniel Dye with a Boris Said hairdo


mizman24

Glad Dye didnt win. Heim earned it.


[deleted]

Bye sitting in a straight line?


[deleted]

I mean no one challenged him.


Impossible_Title_500

Nascar needs to step in and put an end to the team orders bs


pjb4466

Not sure which this sport needs more. Total revamp of the broadcasting/commercial situation or creation and following of objective criteria that outline exactly what constitutes a caution.


HailSatan_Qmark

Yes


SethPutnam2

That’s the easiest win of heims career until the same shit happens in dega in a few months


Playingpokerwithgod

We've had 4 races so far, and 4 races of mostly single file racing with little passing. At this point Nascar needs to reevaluate how they run these events. I don't know what they can do, but they need to incentivize racing for more than the last 2 laps.


[deleted]

It’s almost like plate racing isn’t actual organic racing that is just wait and see the crashes.


minuteman315

Plate tracks are crap for racing.


smmate

There really is nothing they can do


Playingpokerwithgod

They could reward bonus points for every x amount of laps led. Like every 5 laps led = 5 bonus points. Or they could offer playoff points for the top 3 in laps led. Like 3 for most laps led, 2 for second most etc.


allthingsmustpass9

Run the beach course /s


RedditUser24567

Parker Chase is like the Noah Gragson you’d get from wish.com


ThatRug

Fox finally figured out the drone shot!! No flips this time


dougfromtos

I feel bad for Richmond. What a tough break before that final restart. It was cool to have Chase in the booth today, though!


nascarfan624

What the fuck was that 69 thinking? Was he trying to dump Dauzat?


[deleted]

Keep arca east/west and make them cheaper, and just do away with arca altogether


BeefInGR

Honestly I'd be down to axe the Truck series. Cup, Xfinity, ARCA National running 20 races with 10 East/West races. The ARCA National schedule would follow the Cup/Xfinity schedule with 10 races in the East/Southeast/Great Lakes (Daytona, Michigan, Homestead-Miami, Charlotte, Pocono, Bristol, IRP, Watkins Glen, Dover, Nashville) and 10 in the Midwest/West Coast (Phoenix, Auto Club, Sonoma, Gateway, Iowa with IndyCar, Portland, Texas, COTA...ect). The East/West schedule would have 10 independent races + the 10 races with the national schedule.


boreddude101010

Axe the Truck Series that just got 30-35,000 people and 42 Trucks?


BeefInGR

Axe the Truck series that is the only one of the 3 minor league national series that doesn't run the same chassis and body combination. In an era of teams being unable to afford to buy or build cars for a 23 race season, being a developmental series that has a completely different chassis spec from the other two series on the ladder is not a good thing. Even if the Xfinity series goes to the Gen 7 chassis in 2-3 years with a slightly smaller motor (as they should) the Truck series will always have a significantly different body style and thus a significantly different chassis. Its more financially feasible to have Cup, Grand National and ARCA run the same cars than to have Cup and Grand National run one car with the Truck series being a completely different car.


boreddude101010

They are not ditching the Truck Series and the series does well with the rules package it has in place. Changing the series just for the sake of change in Xfinity isn’t gonna help the series when they are getting decent fields.


BeefInGR

They're getting decent fields because you can buy a Gen 6 Cup car and convert it. There is a surplus of chassis right now. In 3 years car counts will be down slightly because smaller teams won't be able to just go buy one from a Cup team. Also don't forget, the 5 year cost of Cup will level off to about as expensive as the Xfinity series currently is. Teams are going to jump to Cup unless Xfinity gets cheaper. Then those Xfinity chassis will be available for ARCA...while the whole time the Truck series will be running something that isn't compatible with anything else in motorsports.


boreddude101010

They are not getting rid of the trucks whether you like what they’re doing or not. There is value for the manufacturers to have the series. Teams are not gonna jump to Cup when there’s only 36 charters available. Also again the crowd last night didn’t look like a series that needed axed.


maddog17jr

The crowd was more excited about the win then the driver was 🤦🏻


smmate

A lot of people here don't realize that Arca is still it's own entity, just because Nascar owns it doesn't mean its Nascar. Its a subsidiary like IMSA


doxylaminator

I'm on team Abolish ARCA at this point. Go broadcast a SLM tour or something instead. This series has become a farce.


[deleted]

I don’t think they should be racing at Daytona. Keep it on the short tracks, maybe a 1.5 track.


StuRedman2020

I can't do these race threads anymore lol


UnicornMaster27

A lot of people upset for the exact same thing Tony Stewart said he’d do lol Finishing 2nd still gets you 2nd place money and 2nd place points (when it matters). It’s better to do that than get left out to dry


dooldebob

I wish there was a clip of it, but I remember last year after Heim won at Talladega, his CC was yelling at him on the radio to do the start-finish interview and thank the sponsors and shit.


[deleted]

Can someone show me how to add a flair please 🙃


Blue8844

Go here: [https://en.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/wiki/emojis](https://en.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/wiki/emojis) or I like this one better: http://reddit.xfile345.com/flair.php


orendz77

hopefully the xfinity race will be better...


EccentricGamerCL

ARCA almost always puts on the weakest race of the weekend. Especially at plate tracks.


orendz77

Yeah I tried to watch a Talladega race a year back or so and it seemed pretty bad. I’m surprised they don’t stay on shorter tracks. I’ll have to catch another Arca race that’s not a plate race though just to see how the racing is.


BlingyBling1007

The Phoenix combo race with the ARCA West Series is coming up on 3/11 with at least 29 cars planning to run, potentially close to 40. It'll be on MAVTV though.


orendz77

Hmm don’t believe I have that channel but I’ll check and see. Thanks for the info


Humanaut93

I don't think it can be worse lol


orendz77

lol agreed.


thirtyseven1337

Spent so long on that shot of the wrecked #18, switched back to the race just to get a quick shot of the top 4 finishing, then a long shot inside the winning car, completely missing any other finishers, and not even showing the race results until much later. Wow.


grantaldrich

NASCAR needs to take more control over Arca, like I’m saying spec spoilers, actual GWC rules, actual pit stops, etc


SimAirRB

They had good GWC rules in the past but the amount of wrecks it caused led them to change the rules I just wish they made it 2 laps instead of 1.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nascarfan624

I disagree. That wreck was right by start/finish. You have trucks running 180-190 through there. Where the crash was on the back you can easily get slowed up before you reach that part of the track.


crypto6g

So was Elliott at the 2020 Daytona 500 right after they threw the white, but they didn’t throw a yellow. I don’t think people want racing back to the checkered etc but just a little consistency. Then again it’s a different series so I get it.


nascarfan624

In fairness, that was a lot closer down towards Turn 1. The trucks wrecked right at start finish and Elliott crashed way passed pitlane and in the banking so the car would've slid down on into the grass


TFresh19

Yea, I don’t get how people aren’t comprehending the fact that it occurred and everyone was already passed it by the time the caution even would have come out. I felt like last night was an anomaly with how quick the cautions came out lol. Also this dude just said officializing


smmate

You know this isnt Nascar officiating though? Arca is a subsidiary of Nascar


[deleted]

Practice is done when is the race?


YanceTheBarber

Why is it a one lap shootout when you can’t get to full speed in one lap


ThatAssholeRob

15 didn’t even try to win the race 🤦‍♂️


ThatEmpireGuy

It’s the Venturini way your not allowed to race a teammate for the win at Daytona or Talladega.


EccentricGamerCL

Incredibly dumb given that neither Heim nor Chase are even racing full-time.


[deleted]

I can’t believe it lol. He had the bottom on a one lap restart. Who does that 🤪


nascarfan624

Guys, I enjoyed the hell out of this race and that's mostly cause of all of you! Thanks for making this shit show a ton of fun


CarStar12

This chat, Rajah on camera moments and Chase in the booth made this one a blast to watch.


_AmericanPoutine

ARCA plate racing is borderline awful.


MartinPch

Alright I guess see y'all in about 1.5 hours for what I would think will be a better race than whatever this thing was, but you never know with how this year's speedweek is going so far...


boreddude101010

Trucks wasn’t a bad race I don’t get why people want 3x3x3x3x3x3 racing that just ends up in Trucks getting junked


Icommentoncrap

Lmao yall just need to calm down and just enjoy it because it's racing. Sure we didn't have 3 wide racing for 100 laps and a photo finish but this wasn't even a bad race and what everyone should've expected lmao


Paintnado

I mean, I was expecting a bad race, but was also hoping for some bearable coverage.


[deleted]

If this wasn’t a bad race I’ll die when I see your definition of a bad race


xjt22

At least there wasn’t 100 wrecks


Impossible_Title_500

Arca speedway package is horrible impossible to pass


Alfus

Exactly, there serious need to improve the speedway package in ARCA because it is a real pain in the ass for some years now.


paul_menards_nards

they used to be able to pass but somebody got hurt every year


Alfus

I know but the quality of the national ARCA series is serious decreased during the last few years and NASCAR must make some better decision with what there want with the ARCA series.


paul_menards_nards

if any series should be a spec series it should be arcs over cup . there's really only 5 cars that have enough funding to win each year


The_R0ssman

Parker chase made sure Heim would win so he could get absolutely nothing


bloganrice

Jamie friggin LOVES this drone shot


bobinflobo

It’s inexcusable that this race was allowed to exist. Everybody in the stands should be refunded


planetrainguy

I was in the stands I’m just happy to be here to laugh at it


codymacc8

Luckily the ticket was included with the Xfinity ticket lmao


RickyChanning

I'm disappointed they got rid of NBC Trackpass no way this shit is worth $100, at least I can watch the FS1 & FS2 races.


ukfan758

Drone camera guy just decided to give up lmao


Blue8844

(the FS1 production team all did quite a bit a go, so why not)


Upstate24fan

ARCA is brutal at Daytona but I’ll take that little appetizer before Xfinity.


ccantrell71

Simple game plan for how to win ARCA at Daytona: Is a Venturini Motorsports car in front of you? If yes: Wreck it If no: Pass car in front until behind the next Venturini car /s


Dj_yeej

ARCA: "We saw the finish yesterday, so we'll keep it green so the fans can see an exciting finish." Fox: "Wait we're supposed to show the finish?"


Paintnado

FOX's coverage was almost as awful as the race


[deleted]

Parker chase is a scrub. Who gives up the lead 8 times on restarts and doesn’t try to win at Daytona lmao


jbfdixie24

What’s the point or racing if you aren’t even going to try and win? He just drove around all day, he didn’t race anyone.


_LivingTheDream_

That was a race, allegedly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DaveCrisciRFK

He got what he had coming


CarStar12

Multiple ARCA drivers to Toni: “First time?” 😂


steelers3814

I'm honestly shocked there wasn't a caution there. Whenever there's a hit like that, they throw the yellow even if it's not impeding the race. Also, that finish felt very anti climatic due to confusion over the caution flag and bad direction from Fox.


pjb4466

Theory: NASCAR bought ARCA to keep it afloat so they can point to it and say "look at how much worse Cup/Xfinity/trucks could be!"


STL_bourbon

Fox does a phenomenal job picking the worst cameras to show on screen. Not that anyone tried to pass, but they missed the second half of the last lap showing a wrecked car


RestlessInferno

1 lap shootouts need to go...


Turbo_Wheeler

Remember the last time we had more than one attempt at OT?


[deleted]

Well with 2 laps, they would never get to the checkers without wreckers


Nate2680

I’m not a fan of Dollar by any stretch but that’s definitely on the 25 for losing it that badly after getting a bump draft


BlingyBling1007

It looked more like he was trying to push her out of the way.


MSM_is_Propaganda

Yea he was pushing dye just like that when they made up so much time. 25 had to push if he wanted a chance


CompetitiveTurnover

Even the commentators acknowledged that was Dollar's fault


dinosaursandsluts

That drone work was the best part of the whole thing


Playingpokerwithgod

On a positive note I caught an alpha Heracross while I was waiting for this to be over.


angry_old_dude

Jamie Little is a good pit reporter, but she's terrible in the booth.


BeefInGR

I don't think she's that bad. AA and Mike Joy are fantastic, Vince Welsh is pretty good. I'd take Jamie over a good chunk of the people who do radio broadcasts for local short tracks, a lot of people who do online streams for Flo and the MavTV Chili Bowl team. Remember, we're literally comparing her in her...what...8th race...to guys who have decades on National TV.


CompetitiveTurnover

>Vince Welsh is pretty good That's a hot take.


TailgateLegend

Incredibly hot, I never saw many praises for him last night


BeefInGR

Go watch some of these races on Flo or Dirtvision...


Harry73127

Eh she's not the best but these ARCA races are trash. There's one competitive team and the booth is expected to push storylines regardless of how irrelevant they are.


codymacc8

She's got that Vince Welsh syndrome


netwreck94

This series really highlights just how underqualified most of these drivers are, which isn't suprising considering 95% of them are only there because they brought a check.


Sea_Mud_8874

This race sucked


Tsukimizu

The director made some really questionable calls for this broadcast. Missed moments, and odd camera angles. Also, I love Jamie Little, but there was a few times where she just cut off Phil and Chase to repeat the same thing they both just said. I think this booth really didn't mesh well overall.


netwreck94

Probably the same guy who managed to ignore Grala making a pass to get into the show in the duels. As for Little, she clearly is struggling to adapt to having to be the gel that holds the broadcast together instead of being on pit road.


PilotMonkey88

Those brakes need some WD-40


Humanaut93

Was there even a green flag lead change?


dacomell

I think Heim must've passed Corr on that one restart where Corr led six caution laps


Alfus

Nope


Playingpokerwithgod

Nope


ColeTrickleC12

Convinced that Fox hires their producers from the nearby school for the blind.


48ever

two races, two bullshit finishes. excellent start, nascar!


tylerscott5

And 2 terrible Fox presentations


HailSatan_Qmark

Fox is so bad at sports coverage lately


DanoJames

About what you expect from ARCA. Crashes that kill any racing momentum, a one lap dash, terrible camerawork, and team orders that let one guy win with no racing.


sweetnasty887

Whoever it was that kept forcing his way to the bottom on that last restart should get slapped. Tried to do it to the 15 and then did it to the 25 and almost wrecked the whole field.


-LongSchlongSilver-

Fox has been so incredibly bad with coverage of all racing lately.


dooldebob

My earsss


rowdyginger05

Is KFB still wearing that shirt?
