2025 NASCAR Thread - 24FORSURE is running away with the fantasy leeg (3 Viewers)

Originally had Chase Elliott in my lineup but took him out after qualifying. :wall:

You never know in these type of races when the big one will come or who it takes out . It was a good race though.

Guess I won't be getting that million dollars. Only got nine right out of sixteen matchups.
 
Not a good week. I also was unaware it was a Saturday night race. D'oh!

That being said, what a great race that was. Haven't watched a race that exciting in quite some time.
 
2 good weeks in a row for Baylor Kid Go Fast.

Weird race with so many of the field crashing out.

John’s lead in the Leeg decreased by 43 points (210 point lead last week, down to 167 after Atlanta).

2 road courses coming up, so get your specialist ready.

Regarding Atlanta, Jeff Gluck, reporter for the Athletic, does a simple “was it a good race yes or no” poll, with 37k votes Atlanta was 90.5% yes. Last year’s Atlanta with the 3 wide slim margin of victory race was a 94.8% percent yes. So as Snogger said Atlanta should be a case study in repave for this Next Gen car.

Michigan was the highest rated race so far in 2025 with 92.2% yes, it was a good race.

Might be the last year for Chicago with NASCAR working on a street race for San Diego or Coronado.

Interesting with Brad K, Elliot, and Bowman up front. Guys that have won in a while but were in it with so much of the field out. That said Elliot has had a good finish year, but not winning stages or leading a bunch of laps.

Always wanted to go there when Jeff Gordon was racing but never made it. Would have visited his winery too.
My wife was a big Jeff Gordon fan and we did meet him at Martinsville one year at a Pepsi meet and greet. She had submitted a question to the moderator about his new daughter Ella and Jeff replied to it. Jeff then looked at her and asked if she had any other questions. That was the first time I ever saw her speechless. Later, her friend said she would have asked of she could have his next baby.

Have a great time !
 
Van Gisburgen's dominance on road courses is very impressive. There have been specialists for as long as there have been road courses. Guys like Allmendinger, Montoya, Ambrose, Robby Gordon and Boris Said were always near the front but didn't win every time out like SVG has. It's even more noteworthy because Cup regulars have stepped up their twisties game from back in the day when it was just Sears Point and the Glen on the calendar.

Really cool to see Trackhouse grow and become a contender. Justin Marks is really impressive.

His teammate Connor Zilisch may be SVG's biggest challenger unless Penske reassigns Scott McLaughlin to the #2.

Had a fantastic day going before the rain delay. The wreck afterwards took out Byron and Bell for me.

I had both of them too. At least had Hamlin, Briscoe, and Elliott in my other three spots.

Think we had the same lineup

Almost everyone had the same lineup. Bowman was the one I had different. That made the difference. Surprised no one used Kyle Larson. His history there is great but the 25th starting spot turned everyone away I guess.

The race was freaking awesome. We did tailgate but the entrance we wanted to go to was closed so it took 45 minutes out of our tailgating to go around to the other side of the track. The air show was cool and the fact that you can byob is awesome

none, i live about 10 minutes from sonoma but have yet to go anywhere else. I need to do Daytona, Detroit and Vegas.
 
Wild that NASCAR is going to do a street race on the Naval base on Coronado island. I’ve stayed at the Hotel Dell several times and love Coronado Island.
Promo video, very cheesy and cliche, shows course entirely on the naval base at the north end of the island.

Never been there but not sure how security will work having a race on a Naval base
 
This is my first year to play fantasy NASCAR, so figuring out strategy. I have to think some of you are down to 1 - 2 start left for the Hamlins, Larsons, and Byron’s, right?
 
I liked how Larson talked about how he does Xfinity races to teach them how much better they have to be to get to Cup level and then he loses control of the car fighting for the lead at the end lol

Yeah, but they do reset once the playoffs start. Get five starts during the playoffs for any driver, I think.

Ah I see that now that you point that out.

I had not noticed that.
A good day today would have been better if Byron that not run out of fuel.

The old Yahoo format was superior. 9 starts per driver over the entire season and they were placed in group A, B or C.

I feel like 10 starts over the first 26 races or whatever is far too easy.
Yes you still have to pick the right drivers, but you can pretty much start the studs every week.

I think that would be better too. Once you mix it in with the races with the road warriors, then can mostly navigate the starter limits.
 
Who wins today ?
Another road course win for SVG ?
Blaney with a surprising pole win.
Another road course ace ?
Larson, Hamlin and Elliott all starting deep in the field.
Looks wide open to me.
