Default anyone watch NASCAR?
Juan Pablo and I. Cause this isn't stalkerish at all.

Girlfriend was apparently more focused on getting him in the picture and not me. Oh well. I'll take it.

I watch it if I can't find any bowling on although I do enjoy watching them run the Glen.

Today's Nationwide race at Road America was a really good race. Tomorrow's Sprint Cup at Sonoma should be equally as entertaining.

It's the only time I'll watch NASCAR, but it's painful to watch the comments about road racing from the commentators, ug. I also wish there were some comparable lap times for that track config, be interesting to see how they stack up to sportscars.

They had a footwell shot showing the "amazing footwork" required. No h/t one gear and some lfb... More road racing would make it a better series all around....

I don't know of any sport car group that has ever run the NASCAR configuration. They leave out the most fun bits in turns 4/5 and the carousel and then T7 and the opportunities to pass there.

I agree, the configuration NASCAR uses neuters Sonoma.

they do a similar thing at Watkins Glen, by not using the boot.

For some reason NASCAR never runs a normal config anywhere, I'm suspect they don't want the comparison...

We were just there last weekend and they didn't have that concrete patch lining the right side of the entrance to turn 3. Wonder if they're going to leave it or tear it up after the NASCAR weekend. I haven't seen anyone use it yet though...

Road America, Montreal, Mexico City (albeit in the Nationwide cars) use the normal configurations.

They always seem to put in a chicane or do something that changes it from a normal config
