I'm sitting here watching the Duel races and realized we have threads for Sportscar racing, Indy, and F1 but nothing for Murrica's greatest carbureted left hand turning stadium of speed.
Let's fix that with a (possibly?) unpopular opinion. I think the #3 should be retired, or at the very least, not run in a Black, Silver, Red livery again. I don't care who owns the car and who's nephew is driving it, it's kind of disrespectful to see it out there.
That being said, growing up a SR and Rusty Wallace fan, I don't have any real attachment to the #2 car anymore, so I may as well cheer Austin Dillon on

Edit: I do tend to agree with retiring #3, but at the same time #43 isn't retired and still being used by Bubba Wallace, so perhaps it isn't really in NASCAR's interest to retire numbers.
This is the last year for this spec car, so expect some rules-stretching. Soon there will be sequential shifters, rear diffusers, and cars that resemble Australian V8 supercars.
Just booked tickets for the Richmond race in April a few days ago, taking my son as a birthday present, never been before, both of us are looking forward to it.
Glad to see we finally made it to Daytona 500 Sunday once again. Another sign that Spring is getting closer!
Sentimental favorite: Wouldn't mind if Jimmie Johnson rode out into the sunset with a Daytona 500 win.
Not a fan of his particularly, but he's a hellofadriver: Kyle Busch. Probably the best driver in NASCAR today. But don't think he's ever won the Daytona 500, has he? So I am kinda thinking this might be his year to do it.

Yea buddy! Love the spectacle of Daytona and I've watched every race in the lower series so far. Wonder how much riding around there will be today, but lets go Kyle!
They finally just showed the replay. LaJoie went right through the area of the car where Newman's head would've been. Initially I was like oh man he turned over when he hit the wall but never had any idea he got hit after.
Basically felt the exact same. Plus, they were zooming in on the gasoline RUSHING out of the car 2 feet from the fire. The response team was very lackadaisical getting over to it and getting it extinguished.
But nonetheless, this hit is absolutely terrifying....
NASCAR got what they wanted. Drama, twittytweets, and views. Ryan Newman has always been critical of pack racing, even to the point where he was fined for telling fans not to buy tickets to see it. Let's just hope he is able to get back in a car at some point, although he is near the end of his career.
I'm not exactly sure I'd go badmouthing Hamlin for celebrating a win, they didn't exactly know how bad the situation was. Waltrip did the same thing in 01, Gibbs apparently apologized to the fans and the teams while in the winners circle.
It was a violent crash, but Hamlin didn't know the extent of it when he did his burnout.
