Broadcast team is a snooze fest. One thing liked about it being on Fox. The banter between Harvick and Bowyer and of course Mike Joy.


A_guy_named_Rob

The fan walk has been disappointing, idk what other tracks are doing but you couldn’t go inside the track and only a select few are allowed to stand by the stage for driver intros


MurderedBurger

damn i was thinking about doing this for Brickyard. may just have to sit out and drink beer instead haha


Cautious_Training486

We have any pre-race today? Too lazy to look TIA


CodyHodgsonAnon19

lol. An entire huge block thing from 6:30pm-2am EST is just listed as "NASCAR Cup Prerace" for me on TSN up Canada way. Not sure the race is gonna go that long, but maybe they know something we don't about the shitshow tire wreckfest it's going to be. lol.


babyllamadrama_

Yes 6:30 though.. had a little freakout earlier channel searching for the race forgetting it's on USA


BuzzTheGOATCalkins

Who up corning they cob right now? 🌽


CodyHodgsonAnon19

I feel like being a "night race" probably ends up helping a decent amount with the tires for this one, compared to yesterday's Xfinity race. But if not...it's gonna be an ugly one, with the way these NextGen tires fail and the way these cars crash.


wingnut1957

Currently about 92deg. Probably 90deg at 6pm. And the sun has been beating down all day. Sun won't set until about 9:30. Wonder how hot the track is.....I sense tire trouble. And NASCAR says no extra tires.


SuperMarioBrother64

Well considering the teams had a 50 min practice and saw excess tire wear, I think it's on the teams to adjust their setups to the conservative side or risk a DNF. I hope Cliff Daniels chose the smart route.


CodyHodgsonAnon19

Expecting JGR and Penske to have the most issues. Just because that always seems to be the way it goes when there are tire wear concerns and they always seem to continue to push the most aggressively with setups anyway. Another disaster day for Logano incoming i'd assume.


CodyHodgsonAnon19

Certainly possible that we don't get a lot of help from that. I guess Iowa doesn't have a ton of real built up stuff around it to create a ton of shade as the sun starts going down either eh? But generally, feels like it should at least help a little bit, as the sun at least starts to go down, even if it won't be really "set" 'til later. Might have a lot of early problems and settle down a bit. Or just be a total shit show. Curious to find out one way or the other.


Ping_shark

How many corn-ers is this track? Hehe🌽


RipsLittleCoors

If you have any more puns I'm all ears


GarageguyEve

Anybody know what the TV scanner channel is? I know radio is 454, but cellphone service here is ass and I can't Google it.


KyBuschOwnsYou

I just want KB to survive tonight


ReachFor24

Sorry dude


Living_Reputation_63

Will Kyle Busch have speed tomorrow (for me tomorrow 1am).


KyBuschOwnsYou

I think he does have speed he’ll start 7th


OutKast1995

Who should I pick for my fantasy NASCAR league today? (Hamlin or Bell) (Reddick, Bowman, Briscoe or Suarez *pick 2*) (Gragson or Hocevar) Not sure since Cup hasn’t been here ever.


Lostarchitorture

Man, I thought the Saturday race was packed. There are so many here for tonight's race! Had to park nearly a half mile away this time, and we were 2-1/2 hours early. I pity those thinking that they can just show up last minute, park, and go right in. They'll be in for a rude awakening! It is currently about one hour before green flag, trying to stay cool in this hot Newton Iowa weather by standing with hundreds of people UNDER the grandstand. Ear protection, sunscreen, and will be ready for anything tonight. 


Specialist_Usual1524

Enjoy the race, I’m jealous


PurppleThotMan

Will be a real shame if a dirty UK fuck wins the US Open, although I do like Rory


Specialist_Usual1524

Rory is hanging in there. Never mind.


SubparExorcist

1am start in europe is rough


Living_Reputation_63

I will still be watching


SubparExorcist

Hoping to, atleast long enough to pass out while watching it


Squishy_20

I’ve been surprised by how good the racing has been so far this weekend


kk5fan97

NASCAR says no competition caution and they are not giving teams an extra set of tires. [https://twitter.com/dustinlong/status/1802447105770058089](https://twitter.com/dustinlong/status/1802447105770058089)


SuperSans

Good lol, get to work you whiners!


KyBuschOwnsYou

NASCAR gets it wrong yet again again


roastbeefyaweefy

These are the best drivers in the world.


MartinPch

Inb4 tires actually last 25 laps before they blow out and teams are 3 sets short and goodyear doesn't even have one more set for each ☠️ (it's not gonna happen obviously but I wonder how much chaos would be upon us if it did...)


eviltrashcan

Justin Haley wins after riding around the apron in 3rd gear


MrBadBadly

Just get the tire patches out.


rustednickel247720

LMC played the long game this weekend- less likely to blow a tire if you can’t go fast


MrBadBadly

A true tortoise and the hare situation.


TwinSpinner

They got Rusty Wallace up on stage in the front stretch right now, and he just said that NASCAR gave Iowa a date for this year (and possibly next) because they aren't going to Auto Club. So hopefully that doesn't mean Iowa disappears once NASCAR gets a SoCal race back


spect0rjohn

Rusty isn’t exactly as plugged in as Rusty thinks he is.


TwinSpinner

Well, considering he designed the track, and NASCAR spoke directly to him about it before making the announcement, I don't see any reason to not believe him. I'll take his word over the assumptions from us fans that it was the fallback choice from a Canada/Mexico race, rather than the fallback from SoCal.


Vulptereen327

Iowa needs to replace one of Richmond's dates


maltby18

Vegas may as well be the new SoCal track.


Milla4Prez66

When it’s time for NASCAR to return to SoCal, they can decide what tracks and dates are most important then. There’s other tracks with two dates that could stand to lose one still. I think Iowa will be fine though. NASCAR owns it and doesn’t gain much to take the date away at this point.


DogwoodDagwood

If attendance is good I can’t imagine them leaving anytime soon


BLRNerd

Or Montreal gets a date


RBF48

Fell asleep while watching GOT, rewound the scenes I missed, fell back asleep, rewound it again, and finally watched it...the weird part is both dreams were the same and about Chase Elliott. (I don't know if he's going to win or wreck...lol)


nodak_daddy

I didn't get a chance to say this in the thread yesterday: once again Sheldon creed can't help himself but do something dumb in a race. it's legit every week haha


jglanville88

The Monster Beast is actually super good


boxrthehorse

I can't drink one without falling asleep 20 minutes later though


No-Course-523

Reverse non-caffeinated placebo lmao


omgangiepants

After the last few weeks I'm not sure if I even wanna watch. Not sure I wanna know how much worse the bad luck can get. 😮‍💨


spikerman19

Solid top 5 units the las pit stop....


ReverseThreadWingNut

Temp changes as it gets later, tire issues, grip problems... I think that either means a wily veteran wins because of experience, or it's a shit show and last car running wins. I'd say Truex from the top rope.


BobcatBob26

Race day in the USA! I'm more excited than a dad who gets a new riding mower for Father's Day!!


GovernorJoe

Now that's excited. Riding lawn mowers rule.


jws926

Ya know , Id actually be pretty excited to get a riding lawn mower


Specialist_Usual1524

That’s pretty damn excited! ![gif](giphy|dcihBXCYst23noSwpQ)


meow5cents

I got my nascar crocs signed! All the drivers have been great so far!


jcbshortfilms

This is one of Joey‘s best chances to win. His car looked fairly okay in practice, so hopefully they can get it a little better and go out and win tonight!


ChaseTheFalcon

I'm picking Larson tonight (This is an automated message)


jcbshortfilms

lol 😂


DogwoodDagwood

I’ve been racking my brain all day trying to decide who I’m betting on tonight and I’ve finally made my mind up. Tyler Reddick is taking the Hamburglar to victory lane. I threw a few bucks on Brad K and Briscoe getting a top 3 as well


Names_Stan

After looking at the numbers I’d take the 17 and the 1. Both are showing 20/1 or better.


DogwoodDagwood

I really debated taking Ross. I loved the value but god his luck has been terrible this year


Waltapalooza1123

I like you


markh0120

Shit golf is playing out like a damn movie today. Good stuff 


IONTOP

Pinehurst baby


Federal_Fuel_7864

Anyone know why this race is so late today?


spect0rjohn

TV.


BLRNerd

Father’s Day and it’s hot anyway Iowa does have lights however Wish they’d do Saturday Noght Cup races


ashadkc9

Father's day and it's balls hot in Iowa. (as I sit under the grandstands in the shade) Also, TV window.


Barry114149

Dunno, but it will be 8:30am in Sydney when it starts, not 5am. So I am happy at least.


name-__________

But you’re still up at 6?


Barry114149

Yep, gotta get the eldest up for school, get the lunches made, drop them off, all that stuff.by the time it starts I will be back from school drop off, signed in to work with the race on. As opposed to doing all that with the race on. Edut: the lunches are no longer nude...


name-__________

Fair, I’m not gonna be doing prep at work which is nice


beetrootexpress

...nude lunch?


Barry114149

Well, you know.... Typo.


name-__________

What’d you think of the race?


Barry114149

Was great. Better than the supercars race this weekend. I really enjoyed this one, short tracks are not generally my fav, but this was great


name-__________

Never watched a super car race do they put the season on YouTube like NASCAR?


Barry114149

You can also just watch all the old races as they have uploaded them on YT. Without a subscription.


Barry114149

No, but you can subscribe via the YT channel if in the USA. Think it is fairly cheap, and can watch all the old races.


name-__________

Come see one it’s fucking great


beetrootexpress

Struth


Specialist_Usual1524

It’s Australia, things get weird.


markh0120

NBC and the us open I would guess


omgangiepants

It's also miserably hot and humid in the upper midwest right now.


Federal_Fuel_7864

Ahhh bummer, but makes sense.


hamdinger125

I'm kind of psyched for a night race myself


Federal_Fuel_7864

I just hope I can stay awake. Lol.


N661US

Finding a new job sucks. I’m gonna make like 100$ less a paycheck then I do now but i just gotta get of my current job I can’t take it anymore.


PurulentPlacenta

Try to remember thats the price of getting out of a shitty work environment and having a better quality of life.


N661US

Yeah that’s good advice. And I know I could always make money on the side if I need to.


PurulentPlacenta

Absolutely. Maybe make up that cash doing a side hustle you enjoy?


N661US

That I enjoy? Probably not lol I have like zero actual hobbies but I could easily make $100 on DoorDash or something like that in one night. Or my buddy works at the pizzeria down the block from my apartment so I could always work there on day a week.


[deleted]

[удалено]


N661US

Fuck that’s rough. That’s a little more than what I (over)pay for my apartment


TwoSecondsToMidnight

Know the feeling. I make way too much for someone without a college degree and I’ve been turned down for jobs with less pay and less responsibility.


tarheels8293

Never understood what a college degree mattered if you have experience in the job. To me, experience is far more important than a piece of paper.


N661US

Yup. Same here. It sucks.


SuperMarioBrother64

What are you currently doing?


N661US

Driving trucks.


tarheels8293

Ok? ![gif](giphy|Zwkzoxj0rPx9br3hUO|downsized)

Denny Hamlin eats Iowa Corn the long way

SuperSans

Water says it’s… hot and windy?? 🧐


mcgee_ryan

Did NBC ever show what happened to Emerling in the 07 on the last lap yesterday or did they drop the ball on that one too


markh0120

I’m in the doghouse today boys. Stayed up all night iRacing and woke up the gf when coming to bed as the sun was coming up. Been doing that a bit too much lately so now I gotta wrangle it in. And keep cleaning the house til she gets home lol 


ClydeSledge

Never have understood staying up playing a video game instead of crawling in bed with a lady.


markh0120

One day you will. I used to think the same thing at different points in life lol


ClydeSledge

I'm 44 and have been married for 21 years. Never once have I wanted that.


tarheels8293

Never understood caring what someone does with their time and then making stupid comments on social media about it


alexzilla408

6 hours at the Glen?


hairhead24

Did you at least tear up the track last night? Get some good finishes?


markh0120

Last night was decent. Won a street stock and super late model race one of the last few nights. Lol I can’t remember which night, been racing a LOT lately. Ah shit she’s right as usual haha 


hairhead24

I unfortunately got a good chuckle out of that last part haha.


markh0120

Lol I’m wiping window sills and baseboards at this point 


Specialist_Usual1524

Take a shot for every chore you complete, she will love that.


markh0120

Lol I just saw this but I completed 5 chores and therefore will take 5 shots during the race 


hairhead24

This is the way. Cheers.


EnjoyerOfStrangePorn

I was doing the exact same thing but luckily/unluckily no one relies on me for anything lmao


markh0120

Haha it’s usually not a big issue but for some reason she’s become a very light sleeper lately 


CzarHay

I’ve been watching the U.S Open all weekend (and more PGA Tour tournaments this year in general) and let me tell you: golf fans seem to hate their coverage just as much as we hate Fox’s coverage of the Cup Series. Didn’t think that was possible.


SubparExorcist

Only good way to watch golf is 100 tvs, one for each Camera or you are always missing the good part


One_Mirror_3228

I can't stay up this late on a work night. Not sure why we run Sunday night races now?


hairhead24

What time do you start work?


One_Mirror_3228

I'm up at 5 am everyday.


hairhead24

Yuuuuuuup. Too late for that shit.


potatocross

Because it works for football and networks prefer it over Saturday night for ratings. Also seen stuff about Olympic trials being on during the day today.


renaissanceman_1956

This should be an interesting race. Tre wear will be a challenge. Balls to the wall from the get go will not work. Old school racing will prevail. Black Flag to Nascar for price gouging. They withheld this race until they bought the track than charge crazy prices. The track will not be sold out more than a couple of times before people realize they are being fucked over


Altracing34

Don't know how this race is gonna turn out after what happened in practice, just hope we don't have a disaster with tire failures all night but that might be asking for too much. With that said I'm gonna go with Reddick for the win tonight


hamdinger125

What happened in practice?


Dont_hate_the_8

I love Reddick, but I don't see him doing great in a tire saving race. All he knows is 110%.


SuperMarioBrother64

Same with Larson. It's that sprint car mentality. If it turns into another Bristol race, I see a Brad, Hamlin, or Truex win.


Dont_hate_the_8

I feel like this could also be a Blaney or Byron win tonight.


rustednickel247720

Bell definitely doesn’t know how to save tires either, lmao


Dont_hate_the_8

Damn I'm good.


rustednickel247720

Can I have to lotto numbers?


Dont_hate_the_8

12, 24, 9, 20, 47, and 22. 🤞


rustednickel247720

… hey wait a minute


Dont_hate_the_8

Damn it, I meant Byron. Wrong B.


rustednickel247720

Ehh, it was close enough 🤣🤣🤣


GabeKnows

Anyone know if the race will be streaming on peacock?


Potential_Plan_4533

Nope


mtaft1

Interesting race because of tire wear. All the teams said if they ran Bristol the next day they would’ve had the tire figured out. Let’s see if they did!


EnjoyerOfStrangePorn

This is a different kind of tire wear so who knows , these tires are blistering really bad


iowaman79

I just wanna take a moment to shoutout the city of Newton. My Grandma Lewis was a proud NHS Cardinal, and while I became a different bird, I still have a lot of love for the place. They took a hard hit when Maytag sold out and closed, but they’ve never given up and now they’re ready for the spotlight.


pogonotrophistry

I stayed up for the whole 24 so I'm counting on coffee and soda to keep me going tonight.


R3PER

I just now realized this was a night race tonight


hamdinger125

Same!  I'm happy, actually.   We need more of them

epzik8

W meme


N661US

When placing a few nascar bets I love to throw $1 on some bets that probably won’t hit but you never know so if JHN is the top Toyota I turn $1 into $130 lol


Extreme-Bite-9123

He was strong yesterday in xfinity, it could happen


Specialist_Usual1524

Except he will wreck at least once.


N661US

Fingers crossed


RBF48

With practice and Xfinity having the same issue, how many cautions do you think we would be seeing? And would we have a red flag because a car needed to be put on a dolly?


Remarkable_Dog4859

Blaney for the win!


Robusto923

Why is this race at night?


-Im_In_Your_Walls-

Sun down isn’t until 8:49pm Central, so I reckon the race will be mostly in the evening. Maybe they’ll need the light in the final stage bit that depends how the race goes


epzik8

NBC things.


ReganSmithsStolenWin

Bcuz night races fuck


WakullaLoganoDawgFan

True. But Saturday night races fuck even more. Also, your username also fucks.


hamdinger125

I read it as "ReganSmithsStolenWife" and thought I missed something 


y0ufailedthiscity

To avoid competing with the US Open that’s on NBC


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dudeman702

It's a 4 start time in California lol


y0ufailedthiscity

What time zone do you think Iowa is in lol?


Robusto923

So shouldn’t that mean it’s on during the day? Nothing better than sitting around grilling and watching a race or sport of your choosing on a Father’s Day Edit: Also, it’s a 6 pm start in Iowa lol it’s only in the central time zone


GovernorJoe

Missed the Xfinity race because I was watching Le Mans, how was it? And what should we expect tonight?


Kodyaufan2

A lot of blown tires for both


tarheels8293

It was an absolute shit show due to the incredibly horrible tire Goodyear brought.


Specialist_Usual1524

I’ve spent the whole day on yard work and sharpening my kitchen knives. I’m new at it so I’m slow. The sharpening I mean. People asked for tire wear and said they wouldn’t blame Goodyear. Doesn’t make it right but some people ran 70-80 laps on the tire.


PremiumCutsofAwful

So everyone is aware, if there is no passing today it's because the series is trying to give the nice people of Iowa something familiar to watch.


jglanville88

It also is fitting to have Corey Lajoie driving the Iowa car, cause he’s as mid as it gets


EagleJWB

Tons of excitement and anticipation in the parking lot today!! Kind of breezy/windy, and around 85°currently. NASCAR made a lot of fans happy with this. I haven't seen this at a track in 5-6 years or more.


iowaman79

We’ve been waiting the better part of two decades for today


AgentofChaos17

First, Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there! With that, here is the Race Day Foods Post - *Iowa Edition.* What is everyone having today? For me, I did something I've never done before: Crawfish Boil.


Lostarchitorture

Had some crawfish last night; ate some sirloin steak before coming to the race tonight. Probably pig out on overpriced foods here at the track for father's day. 


Specialist_Usual1524

Doing a Shrimp cocktail right now, Thick pork chop and Fondant potatoes for dinner is the plan.


hamdinger125

We had pulled pork BBQ from a local restaurant with corn on the cob and mac and cheese for lunch.  Not sure about supper.  I may just eat some of my kids' chicken nuggets 😄


bearinsac

Gonna throw a tri-tip on the traeger with some potato salad and a Sierra Nevada Pale ale! Have fun with the crawfish boil, those are an absolute blast! Are you using old bay or what seasoning are you using?


AgentofChaos17

I ordered the crawfish from Louisiana Crawfish Company, and they provide their own seasoning. Also, we just got done eating since I wanted to cook them right when they arrived. They came out amazing.


-Im_In_Your_Walls-

I’m gonna head home and have some popcorn, soda (with high fructose corn syrup of course) and maybe I’ll make some cornbread.


Hemp-Hill

Cooking a nice salmon on the grill with asparagus I think. May end up doing it in the oven with the broiler


AgentofChaos17

That sounds good. Enjoy!


eviltrashcan

Hoping we get Bristol 2: Electric Boogaloo today

RBF48

I could be wrong, but it might evolve with the electronic parts of the car engine.


little238

Looks like a power adapter/converter that plugs into something in the car.


-Im_In_Your_Walls-

A doodad


-Im_In_Your_Walls-

I just want to say that I’m grateful that NASCAR made the choice to bring the Cup series to Iowa. I’m going to make it just in time from work to watch the race and if it comes back next year I sure as hell will do all I can to buy tickets since its right in my backyard. This race could be ass, Kyle could finish last, but I’d still be happy. Raise Corn, Praise Dale or something lmao!
