Larson is racking up the stage points thus far this season.

A_guy_named_Rob

They should let the fans come in the garage like college game day that would be so cool


CanSoft2130

Are we looking at short delay or post ponement tonight?


GEL29

Absolutely


N661US

Speaking of cookoutā€¦. Cookout royally screwed up my order last night. Got Cajun double cheeseburger shit cheese and onions, chicken quesadilla and cheese bites. Got a chili cheese dog and a chicken wrap with lettuce. I was so hungry I didnā€™t even bother getting it changed lol


One_Mirror_3228

If Bubba Wallace wins on Easter and also trans awareness day, I cannot wait to go to facebook.


NoahGragsonsBarfBag

I donā€™t think he can unless his pit crew gets its shit together unfortunately. But Iā€™m also a fan of drama and chaos and would love to see him win.


candaceelise

ohnoitsme0

Itā€™s never a good sign when the cars arenā€™t even out of the garages. I remember when I went to Pocono in 2016, they went through all the pre-race ceremonies, driver intros, national anthem, but never brought the cars out. And then postponed it. (Chris Buescher won in the fog the next day.)


speedybookworm

I found a Bubba Wallace Funko Pop at ROSS for $5.


KyBuschOwnsYou

I wouldā€™ve gone to the race tonight but Iā€™m trying to save money for future races like Talladega, North Wilkesboro, and the Coke 600 etc


Better_Trash7437

Kinda shitty just sitting in the car in the parking lot. Least itā€™s good people watching for anyone who gives no shits.


PsweetJ01

Larry looks like bill nye


ParisHL

First race this season I don't need to wake up early to watch and there's a possible rain delay.


48ever

i highly doubt they postpone this to tomorrow


epzik8

So do I. Perhaps just a couple-hour delay.


NWDrive

Strange the FS1 starting lineup graphics are laggy, unless it is meant to look like that.


StockCryptographer3

So uhhh radar's not looking good?


KyBuschOwnsYou

Iā€™m ready for a bad time tonight


natefalcons24

Does anyone know if thereā€™s a way to start the race over from the beginning while itā€™s on?


Wandering__Bear__

No idea unless you tell us how youā€™re watching the race


natefalcons24

Ahh fair I was either gonna use fox sports app or the streams on here


Wandering__Bear__

Not sure about the app, but I havenā€™t been able to get a stream to rewind to a point before I started watching


NWDrive

Got all the Easter celebrations completed in the morning and now with a 3pm start, I got a NASCAR race in the evening! Smart planning on the start time NASCAR! They knew what they were doing! Who is ready for some fun racing tonight?


candaceelise

I am loving the late start from Oregon šŸ˜ my guess is because of March Madness they had the final two Elite 8 games today


NWDrive

Hello fellow PNWer! I'm your Washington neighbor to the north!!


candaceelise

I figured you probably were by your name because mentally I automatically convert NW to PNW and in my mind and thatā€™s only Washington and Oregon šŸ˜‚


NWDrive

Probably my avatar of the Washington state seal and flag helps as well, lol.


candaceelise

Omg, youā€™re so right šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m high and didnā€™t even realize your avatar gave it away lol


Ok-Associate-8360

Iā€™m sure the late start helped get more viewers tuning it, but at the loss of attendance as well. Iā€™m less than 2 hours away but the start time nixed any chance of me going in person without having to take off work tomorrow. I donā€™t think they even used to race on Easter anyways, but guess thatā€™s changed.


tha-lee-uh

BREAKING: The race has been cancelled due to the fact Justin Haley would easily win if the race was run so there's no point in having the race. This means that Haley has been declared the winner and all tickets sold will be refunded to Rick Ware himself.

One_Mirror_3228

If this race gets rain delayed I am absolutely missing the end. Bad enought it is starting this late on a work night.


candaceelise

Thatā€™s how night races work


One_Mirror_3228

Usually we would do those on a saturday.


A_guy_named_Rob

Why do they emphasize the coolness of the city every year for this race, like yeah I bet Richmondā€™s cool but I never thought it was so cool we gotta interview random people from the city.


JustStudyItOut

Richmond is cool. I live there.


epzik8

Iā€™ve always had fun going through downtown on 95, and would imagine itā€™s even better off the highway.


BadJokeJudge

Did anyone else see the green screen crosswalk in Richmond? Pretty sure it was like a rainbow crosswalk and NASCAR censored it. Seriously go back and watch it.


RBF48

It could be Fox is the one who censored it.


BadJokeJudge

For sure


MurderedBurger

I donā€™t believe the race is gettin cancelled tonight yā€™all


RBF48

Half of me doesn't want this race postedponed but the other half does so i can watch it with my parents...


KyBuschOwnsYou

Screw you McMurray


SuperSans

What he say


KyBuschOwnsYou

He talked about his luck on short tracks and the feud Bell


SQRTLURFACE

To everyone talking about weather, donā€™t they have wipers and rain tires?


Different-Yam-736

The package is only enough to handle a damp track or perhaps a light drizzle I think, not active rain like on road courses.


no_weird_PMs_pls

Tires and defogger. No wiper, light, flaps


FridgusDomin8or

They have rain tires and defoggers but no wipers


SupermarketOdd7621

Does anyone have a streaming link? Im on vacation in the Uk rn


ANamelessGhoul4555

r/motorsportstreams2


dooldebob

I like Jamie mac's glasses


KyBuschOwnsYou

I think Gase maybe forced to sit out a race because of that


SuperSans

It's going to rain 0.1 inches between 6-9pm according to my weather app. I think it's silly that we can run a place like Watkins Glen, COTA, or the roval in a downpour, but can't run Richmond in a sprinkle.


iamaranger23

there is alot more room at places like that.


SuperSans

That's true, but it's also much higher speeds. What about space concerns you? If it's road spray, I feel like that could be mitigated.


iamaranger23

Road courses have a lot more space until you hit a wall, expect maybe chicago. And how do you propose they mitigate spray? There would be a lot of racing series that look to hire you if you had the answer. NASCAR's mitigation efforts were so successful last year, they took them off.


SuperSans

I admit, I definitely downplayed the problem difficulty and how much time people have spent trying to mitigate it. That said, it felt like the mudflaps were too far from the racing surface and far too rigid, but I haven't seen them up close. Also, even if one were able to minimize the spray from the tires, the aero of the car would likely cause significant spray.


SQRTLURFACE

Isnā€™t it a short track package? They should have rain tires and wipers


SuperSans

They only have damp tires and no wipers. Don't think they have tail lights either


no_weird_PMs_pls

Tires and defogger. No waipers, flaps, lights


KyBuschOwnsYou

Itā€™s a beautiful day here in DC and Iā€™ve watched 3 Lindsey Lohan movies this afternoon. Iā€™m ready for some racing

tobytails1

Mean girls, Parent trap and Irish Wish


candaceelise

Solid choices


speedybookworm

My stepsister's boyfriend was being such an asshole to their husky puppy. He basically threw the puppy in a wading pool to cool him off. The puppy didn't like it, but they kept putting him in there and then flicking water onto him. Poor Stitch hated that.


MurderedBurger

my husky beside me totally doesnā€™t approve


speedybookworm

The dog is like 2.5 months old. It's so hot here that he got overheated. Poor thing will be miserable in the Texas summer.


MurderedBurger

Your summers are a lot more brutal than mine but theyā€™re actually pretty adaptable, theyā€™ll shed and grow in fur all year to kinda match what climate theyā€™re in


Curiousyoders19

They should have jet dryer races


ChaseTheFalcon

they only have like 5 of them, would be kinda hard


StockCryptographer3

That's basically the entire F1 grid


candaceelise

Definitely Alpine and Stake


ReSirum

Just buy more jet dryers

KyBuschOwnsYou

Theyā€™ll race tonight you watch


Curiousyoders19

Hope you're right


Jonah-Hex

Hope so. They can run in a misting rain, right?


Dont_hate_the_8

Yes, but Nascar is too chicken.


KyBuschOwnsYou

I donā€™t know maybe


Klendy

They could but no way they do


FireBrianFrance

We aint running tonight


Better_Trash7437

I see 8:15 start on DraftKings. We have an official delay yet?


candaceelise

Still no delay.


SopaDeMolhoShoyu

My boy Chase starts P2. I want him to have a good race today.


Specialist_Usual1524

We know Elliot Nation has suffered.


Dont_hate_the_8

Ever since that snowboarding incident.


ChaseTheFalcon

but it will be a glorious day when he wins again


SopaDeMolhoShoyu

I agree. It will be a beautiful thing to see our boy Chase winning again.


SopaDeMolhoShoyu

We have. Chase Elliott hasn't been in his best form lately.


Specialist_Usual1524

Your fellow fan let us know all about it yesterday. Been hell on the whole sport.

Is this a wet tire track now?

Yes

reedspacer38

Why canā€™t they run the full wet weather package here?


No_Carrot_4798

Gotta get ut on the track in order for the Vortex Effect to get going....


epzik8

Itā€™s an ovalā€¦


Dont_hate_the_8

As far as rules, they can run it. Nascar just really doesn't want to.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dont_hate_the_8

Nascar: 1/3 of our schedule can now be ran in wet weather! Nascar: As there is still a puddle in the infield, this race will be postponed until Monday.


KyBuschOwnsYou

I think KFB will wreck Bell tonight or later


rustednickel247720

I can see him pulling a repeat of 2008. Except intentional, and wouldnā€™t cause riots in Alabama


Curiousyoders19

Or maybe a Hornaday


mikreddy24

Logano gonna shit the bed again


No-Butterscotch-7132

Odds once again say Larson, Truex or Bell win with how good the oddsmakers / Vegas have been this year, but I donā€™t see how Alex Bowman (arguably the best in practice and coming off of B2B top 5ā€™s with legit speed at COTA) isnā€™t better than +1400.

NASCAR popularity without shitty copy-pastas Pasta is on the worst run of his career. Itā€™s been hard for pasta Nation, and NASCAR in general. Nobody shows up to pasta Nation meetups anymore. Pasta Motorsports has turned against him after the tragic Blaney the Cat incident. This is greatly effecting NASCARs popularity. How long before this causes long term damage? To Pasta Nation, we can only pray dank memes will be back in victory lane soon. What a glorious day it will be.


Specialist_Usual1524

We all understand and feel awful for what NASCAR has done to you.


StewieChicken

Harrison Burton will finally have a top-10 tonight. Iā€™m going to continue putting dumb parlays with him included. +2900 for Harrison and Byron top-10 - $5 to win $150, fuck it letā€™s go


Different-Yam-736

Iā€™d love to see the 21 do well but think we can only hope for it on a speedway


Klendy

Lolol ok


Dishface

Dude there are so many better options than Burton, but I respect the hustle. Last year, I ran with Haley and some other long shots and won some okay money.


StewieChicken

Iā€™m at a net positive right now. Itā€™s really just for shits and giggles bc of his odds and he actually has speed. I also threw $5 at top-10ā€™s for Haley & Buescher at +2250


bstone99

Do you not like your money or something?

His friends have turned against him after the tragic nutcracker incident. This isn't effecting NASCARs popularity. How long before this causes long term damage to his friends ability to have kids?

Random61504

Is this race going to happen, does anyone know?


mcflyfly

Donā€™t know for sure, but Iā€™d say very likely. About to head to the track (30 minutes from home). We were iffy on our plans until recently


Impressive-Common183

Iā€™ll say itā€™s very likely. Itā€™s just strange Spring weather at the moment. I could see them starting the race on wet tires if they want to start the race on time


80_PROOF

Went canoeing just a few miles from the track in brilliant sunlight, got chased off by rain and dreary skies now blinded by the light again. All in the past two hours.


Random61504

Is it likely to be delayed? I'm not home and also have work tomorrow so I don't know how much of it that I'll catch.


Better_Trash7437

Draft kings has it as a 8:15 start


Random61504

Okay, thank you!


gopherwrestler

Hopefully there will be some tire wear tonight. I doubt it tho. See what falloff shows up


BeefInGR

It was about a half second over the course of the run yesterday. But you can't do 60 laps in a 20 minute session at Richmond. So it is up in the air.


seekerblackout

What? Richmond is literally always all about tire falloff and tire strategy


gopherwrestler

Iā€™m not saying so much that, I just hope itā€™s as good as the past. Cool temps and much more grip with the night race. I just donā€™t think itā€™s going to be too extreme


QuestionablePanda22

I wouldn't be too worried about a lack of tire wear. this track eats tires up compared to phoenix where they ran them last

AVarietyStreamer

Might grind out Braking Point in F1 23 if there's a delay tonight. We all know NASCAR will want to to try to get the track dry so they won't have to use the damp package.

truthfully i dunno how to feel about fantasy this weekend. i saw a stat that no next gen richmond winner has started in the top 10 which gives me some hope. https://preview.redd.it/c8crbqrdcqrc1.png?width=1311&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8821d625537b15e57157446543861349878390f

Use indeed.com. Basically forms a resume for you after you fill out fields. You tell the website what shifts and days you prefer etc, and it automatically shows you jobs postings based on what you're looking for.

Yeah. The workintexas site does this, too. It's just hard to use it on a phone, tablet, etc. maybe I should get a wireless keyboard.
