2014 1-800 Car Cash Mudsummer Classic Race Week Discussion

[ShadowKnight508]

Discuss the 2nd Annual 1-800 Car Cash Mudsummer Classic at the historic Eldora Speedway here. In 2013, Austin Dillon muscled his #39 American Ethanol Silverado to the front, out-dueled both Kyle Larson and Ryan Newman down the stretch, and pulled off the first victory on dirt in a NASCAR race since back in 1970. The other thread for the two Indianapolis races will be up later tonight. Race week schedule, TV listings, and entry list below (credit to Jayski):

Really pumped for this Wednesday. Hopefully the rain stays out of the mix! Anyone here plan on going?

 

[S. Yogurt]

I wish I was going. I was skeptical when this was proposed as an idea, but after watching last year's race, I'm cancelling any plans Wednesday night, stocking up the fridge with soda, grabbing some chips and other bad food, and my facehole will be glued to the screen.

This should be a thing in every NASCAR racing series IMO.

 

[bigrolltide1877]

Really looking forward to the race Wednesday night they put on one helluva show last year

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Debuts New Scoring Pylon for This Weekend's Races

Less than a month after removing the old one, Indianapolis Motor Speedway has unveiled its new scoring pylon just in time for this weekend's activities ... and it's pretty impressive.
In addition to showing the running order, the pylon will also have custom animations for the green flag, yellow flags and the checkered flag. Check it out below:

Brian France Considering "Minimal" Schedule Changes for 2015 Sprint Cup Season

NASCAR Chairman Brian France, who earlier this month said there would be a "robust discussion" about changes to the 2015 Sprint Cup schedule, said Monday that any changes would be minimal. Speaking on SiriusXM's NASCAR channel, France said the schedule will come out in September. "There's not going to be a dramatic change but there may be some things that are a little different," France said. "That's not unusual. You come back to moving dates around and whatever else, we don't do a lot of it, but we do a little of it from time to time and this will be one of those moments." At Daytona a few weeks ago, France said that with the new NASCAR television deal going into effect in 2015 - Fox and Fox Sports 1 will have the first 16 points races with NBC and NBC Sports Network having the final 20 - there is an opportunity to consider possible changes.

Brian France Discusses Race Team Alliance (RTA)

NASCAR chairman Brian France says listening to the consensus voice of the newly formed Race Team Alliance would be a "bad idea." France, in his first extensive interview on the RTA since the organization of major team owners was announced two weeks ago, told Sirius/XM's Sirius Speedway show on Monday that NASCAR "didn't think (the RTA) was necessary." The nine most powerful race teams in NASCAR announced July 7 they had formed an alliance with the stated purpose of cutting costs and pooling resources. But France said he had no intentions of dealing with the individual race teams as one organization. "That would probably be the worst thing we could ever do -- to listen to one voice, even if it were a consensus voice," he said. "Every decision we've ever made that's important, the more input, the more people we heard from, the better the result. That will never change in the business model of NASCAR, because good ideas come from all over the place."

But it seems NASCAR's most influential team owners don't feel that way, since they banded together to form the RTA and speak as one regarding many issues facing the sport. And while France acknowledged the RTA "may figure out some things we're not aware of" in terms of reducing costs, he repeatedly said NASCAR would be "business as usual." That includes holding firm on the allocation of a mega $8.2 billion TV contract that kicks in next year - 25% of which goes to the race teams (65% goes to the tracks and 10% goes to NASCAR). The RTA is said to want a bigger piece of the pie, but France said the current percentages were "set for historical reasons - because it's the right allocation."

Zing Zang Bloody Mary to Sponsor the #36 for Four Races in 2014, Starting at Indianapolis

Tommy Baldwin Racing welcomes Zing Zang Bloody Mary for the first time in the 2014 Sprint Cup Series season. Zing Zang Bloody Mary will sponsor the #36 Chevy of Reed Sorenson in four high-profile races this season: Indianapolis on July 27, Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 11, Talladega Superspeedway on Oct. 19 and Martinsville Speedway on Oct. 26. The #36 of Sorenson will sport a bright green and black paint scheme to align with Zing Zang Bloody Mary's bright, fresh ingredients used in their flavorful mixes. Zing Zang Bloody Mary, their flagship mix, is one of the most popular Bloody Mary Mixes in North America.

That new scoring pylon is super cool looking!

Tonight's race at Eldora will be the final time Rick Allen calls a truck race for FOX Sports. He's done a great job. Can't wait to hear him call the races for NBC.

Is it really? I though he was going to the end of the year. Wonder who replaces him the rest of the season then...

 

[FloridaFan88]

Steve Byrnes and Adam Alexander will be rotating races for the rest of the season.

Just as we were done with him at TNT...

SONUVA BITCH.

 

[Sgt Slaughter]

Also Jennifer Jo Cobb is literally slower than molasses...

Jo Cobb, Jennifer Jo Cobb, and Mike Affarano are the 3 worst trucks here.

 

[MattSRD28]

It's annoying being in the Pacific time zone, stuck at work between qualifying and the qualifying races. Do they not understand I have Pick'em picks to enter?!?!!??!

 

[Sgt Slaughter]

Erik Jones with the pole for his Q race...

This kid is uber talented. The next big rookie coming through the ranks (hopefully).

 

[K.Chuck]

just got home, is there a line up for the heat races?

 

[nascarman14]

How are we going to do the pick'em picks without the heat race lineups?

 

[nascarman14]

I think this is how it works:

Pos. | Heat Race
1 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 3
4 - 4
5 - 5
6 - 1
7 - 2
8 - 3
9 - 4
10 - 5
Etc...

 

[MillsLayne]

I'm just going to have to copy someone's heat race picks. My wife dragged me to a workout class, so I'm stuck.

Heat race line-ups:

If anyone knows a link to a stream of the race tonight, that would be greatly appreciated! I don't have FS1.

 

[18fan4life]

Is there a livestream up for the Q races? Our Dish network is out due to the rain here in VT.
