Not ‘if’ but ‘when’.... and I mean that about both things you mentioned, assuming the sport doesn’t die soon.

Dont watch if you dont like it, a**hole. Be concerned for the drvers, but dont pass judgment on quality entertainment that others enjoy.

Shut the **** up you moron.

That wreck was insane! i hope he's ok!

Take those Tweets with grain of salt.

It take a bad crash 4 you all to post!

Well, Nascar isnt what it used to be sadly! I used to watch religiously in the 90's and early 2000's, now? not much at all.

In last years NASCAR thread...

Dont watch it.
But my Facebook is blowing up about this wreck.
Sounds like he died instantly. They just haven't broken the news yet.

TMZ is now reporting. He has been hospitalized.
Hope the man ends up ok.

If you watch the slow motion footage it makes it look like the top of the car was pushed in quite a ways.

The footage of the stretcher being rolled to the bus with the black screens on both sides makes your stomach turn.

He'll be fine.

They got to get all the ducks in a row as far as hippa and the family.

would feel better if nascar confirmed but it's reported there is a bunch of shit medically they got to do before they release information.

Non life threatening injuries.

Serious, but stable.

Just did a quick statement on FS1, in serious condition but injuries are non life threatening.

thank God

Engineers and nascar with great work on the cars. CREDIT

Hopefully able to wiggle toes and feet as well.

Awesome

Thank God. Let’s hope he makes a full recovery.

Toll you

I imagine Michael Waltrip was not having a good time watching that ending.

Amazing he will be ok. God is good.

Good deal that he’s alive. I’d wait to say he’s ok, the way that A pillar collapsed, I’m hoping he’s not paralyzed

Nice work by ESPN giving Ryan Newman update at the KU Game.

This...

God is very good..

I can't believe he survived that crash. I'm so happy those 2 little girls still have their daddy in their lives and hope he makes a full recovery.

So much credit to the people who helped him and the engineers with the car. Wow.

This is utterly amazing.

There's a story floating around that makes it appears some of his previous arguments and harsh words with nascar lead to the changes in the cage that most likely saved his life.

I remember him going after them pretty hard after one of his previous crashes several years ago, but never heard if he got the additional supports that he wanted.

Unreal
Dudes angels were working overtime

Yes, the "Newman Bar."

Love it... Woot!!!

Love it. Heck yeah!

Damn that is some nice work nascar and enginners

No gimp limp scratch or burn. He is a very lucky man.

Wow. That's incredible to think that he's walking out less than 48 hours after that wreck.

Where are his shoes?

God damn hippies

Stuck in Corey LaJoie’s grill.

ROFL

Newman should be buying a lottery ticket. Just one; he's obviously the luckiest man alive so he'll only need the one ticket. Probably win every lottery in America with it too.

And never get in a race car again. He has cheated death

Meh. Race car drivers cheat death just about every time they get in their cars. If they clear him to race, and he still wants to race, let him race.

iCar racing it is.... LOL, it's kinda fun!

Dale JR and Hamilton have been online forever. So has tony stewart. Not uncommon to run into many famous race car drivers on iracing.

It was pretty cool considering the circumstances.

I watched an open wheel sim race a couple weeks ago that had Max Verstappen from F1, some Indycar drivers and some racers from other series. It was pretty entertaining.

Watching the Texas Int. race. Is this a replay?

I was watching a race a few days back of the 1986 Richmond 400. It was way before the track was reconfigured to what it is today. Just an old school, not much banked oval. A rub here, a bump there type of track. Just nothing but fun.

It convinced me that NASCAR needs to go back to that style of racing, those style of tracks, the race format, the points system. Just everything. Hell even run the old body styles I wouldn't care.

This shit they call racing now is just horseshit. Invert the field, a points system that is equally dumb. Just bland blah blah blah racing is all we have now. No true stars. Too many rando randy racers. I could go on and on. But the product now has shown itself to be a attendance and sport killer. Give me that old school shit!

Since we're stuck at home I've got the iRacing cranked up. Anybody else iRacing?

I was not, but I'll say this, the one I watched was pretty darn cool. Considering today's circumstances.

I don't have iracing but I have ever other game. Iracing costs 100 a year plus the cars and you don't own it and my record sucks. I have a nice rig though at-least for me. Play seat. Ts-PC racer. t3pa pro peddles 35 inch curved monitor. I got nascar 2003 still lol

f

Just watched the Irace... It was actually OK. Indy Cars and DaleEJr. got 3rd...

That looks like a nice rig. I raced Nascar Racing 2003 for over 10 years. Raced on the Open Speedway server and it was a ton of fun. I was not great on short tracks but I was pretty good at the super speedways. I could see the cyber air.

yeah that was fun. Had to get to the bottom and get a bump. How are you in iracing. I think had the KandN car was the last time I played

I quit for a long time because I don't like some of things with the iRacing format. They sent me an email accusing me of cheating which had to do with their points system. All I did was start a race and when I didn't think I was competitive I got out of the race so I wouldn't cause a wreck. I guess they thought I was sand bagging or something. It didn't sit well with me so I didn't want to race there anymore. So I just started racing again because of the pandemic and I'm just starting to get the hang of it again. I'm just so, so.

The legend cars are pretty fun

I've been watching some of the chopped down versions and highlights, but I just can't get into watching an actual iRace.

I can see how it might be fun, and incredibly frustrating, for some of these guys.

I find it interesting because it's tantamount to what I think all gaming should be. The son has an Xbox, and I just don't get it, but you give me a seat, a steering wheel, surround screen, clutch, break, and gas pedals, and a rather real experience, and I think I'd like it better than some gay controller deal. Not unlike flight simulators where you have a complete set of controls, pedals, stick/wheel, and surround screens, that might be interesting...

Oh absolutely.

I game a little with my young nephew but find many games just too damn boring. If you gave me a rig like some of these guys are using and the experience these systems create I could get into the gaming part of it. I just can't watch it as a "fan" like many are.

And I would LOVE to get one of these systems when my son resumes his flight training.

Kyle Larson is toast.

I don't play "controller games". Frantically pushing a button just isn't for me so racing is the only sim I have ever really done. I don't have a fancy race chair though. I have a wheel mounted on a typewriter table and I taped(duct tape!) a short stool to the side of it with my shifter mounted on it (right by my right thigh where a shifter belongs.) and then of course the pedals on the floor. Actually I wrapped the whole table and chair in black duct tape so it would be "cool" I use a 50" big screen for a monitor and I sit 2' from it in a office chair. I have a sound bar with a sub that I can crank up. It all makes for a nice sim. I used to have my old surround sound with a big subwoofer hooked up to it and it sounded just like there was a car in my basement. I could rattle the pictures on the wall. All in all have created a pretty fun experience. The only thing that ruins it is the "wreckers". There are some real dumbasses out there.

Yeah he ****ed up in a bad way

You can find tons of setups online or build one. Too bulky and too ugly and people get bored with them. I also host a facebo page called Cats in simulatior cockpits because cats love racing seats

The only video game I ever got addicted to was a late '90s WWII simulation titled "Airwarrior." It was one of the first online games, and it originally used the old GEnie network. IIRC, it cost about $2-$3 an hour to play. I got so obsessed with that game that I spend over $275/month, basically a car payment back then, for over a year.

Once I got really hooked, I bought the shell of an old Star Wars coin-op video game for $100 (some of you might remember this; looked kind of like a plane cockpit), installed my computer monitor behind the magnifying lens, installed brackets to hold both my throttle and my joystick (Thrustmaster), and screwed my rudder pedals to the floor of that thing. I also installed an old car seat for added comfort, speakers, and a phone headset so I could talk to my wingmates instead of having to type everything.

Kind of glad that game went away, just because if it hadn't I'd probably still be a bartender living in a crappy apartment dating a stripper.

How many African-Americans have raced in NASCAR?
