Dear god this looks like a GD mess, Busch Clash wasn't great but this??? Pitbull pre-race show, half-time break (WTF is that?) with Ice Cube, and a live DJ during cautions? Ummm, they know you won't really hear the DJ if cars are running right?
https://racer.com/2022/02/01/insight...-l-a-coliseum/ and the track render, or I hope it's a rendering, pit out but in?? I guess they make the HARD right turn there at around 11 o'clockish? ![]() |

I reckon - probably wrongly! - that a big percentage of that race will be under caution. Unless everybody is being really nice to each other!
Someone trying to enter the pit is likely gonna cause a good chunk of the field to fall over each other. Let's hope no one needs to pit... |

I think it will be full field pitting rather than by strategery as everyone likes to say now.

Meanwhile, ESPN seems uninterested in Nascar for South America, and no replacement broadcaster has been announced except in Brazil.

In amongst all the daft thoughts in my head: what if everybody wrecks their cars so their is nobody left to run in the main event?
Could we see something as dumb as the US Formula 1 race from 2005 (might have the year wrong) where only 6 cars took part and pretty much nothing noteworthy happened - unless you count a huge amount of race fans walking out in disgust. |

SRX raced on a quarter-mile oval, with Paul Tracy as touring enforcer. Those cars were no tans, but made it. The Clash will be fine.
