The 2021 Running NASCAR/IMSA/other racing things thread

Where can I find the best-written story on the Daytona 500? I want to read it and share it with my father.

Trevor Bayne wept.

 

Were you being serious about that? Does the Daytona 500 champion automatically qualify for the playoffs?

That is a very good point.

 

Isn’t the whole benefit of running on a road course that you can have localized yellows and not have to bring out the pace car (again)?

I was listening to tonight’s trucks race and not watching it so I could be wrong, but it seemed like half those cautions could’ve been cut.

 

I don't know that NASCAR has ever done localized cautions.
Heck, they throw cautions for hotdog wrappers on the back stretch to bunch the field.
