Hoping for a good race. I'd be ok with anyone but JGR winning.
This race, last year.
>>69178692
The only reason I dislike JGR at the moment is because of that bullshit caution at Sonoma desu...
>>69178911
I'm convinced they're cheating and haven't been caught by NASCAR yet.
Middle of the season last year JGR went from a good team, to all of a sudden being clearly better than the entire field. They'd be qualifying 1-4 at races and shit. Kyle won the championship and they've been dominating this year too. That includes Truex who is basically JGR.

The weather forecast is the same every day in Florida.
>morning
Nice, warm, very humid
>noon
Getting really fucking hot and humid
>afternoon
Heat and humidity lead to random pop up thunderstorms that are impossible to predict
>evening
Storms settle down as the sun sets and it cools down
So we should be alright.
Dale Jarrett is good on TV. I like him and Kyle alongside Krista. They work well together.

>Between April 4 and April 8, 1970, while serving on Advisory Team 21 of I Corps Advisory Group, in Kontum Province, Republic of Vietnam, Sergeant First Class Littrell was a Light Weapons Infantry Advisor with the 23rd Battalion, 2nd Ranger Group. The battalion was under intense mortar attack ā all advisors except Littrell were killed. Unrelentingly, over four days, Littrell kept the battalion inspired, while he directed artillery and air support, distributed ammunition, strengthened faltering defenses, cared for the wounded, and shouted encouragement to the Vietnamese in their own language. For his "sustained extraordinary courage and selflessness", he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
>The Medal of Honor was presented to Littrell in a White House ceremony by President Richard Nixon on October 15, 1973.

lel when I went to Kansas there were a bunch of kids who checked my cooler (BYOB policy is fucking awesome there) at the gate but never checked my backpack
Seriously, they had a shitload of security but otherwise I felt extremely comfortable with the people there. You can literally leave your backpack, coolers, and sweatshirts at your seat and go walk on the track (with a track pass) and nobody will try to fuck with you or your shit.
I saw retards sitting on the track and eating lunch with crumbs all around them. It was great.
To me, that's why NASCAR is better than F1.

I went to the race in Atlanta and saw a 300+ pound hardcore redneck wearing shorts way too big with no belt and everytime he stood up the shorts would drop to his feet and he wasn't wearing underwear. He must have flashed everybody 20+ times. The off-track action was more exciting than the actual race.
which is better to win?
Daytona 500 or the (((Coke Zero 400)))?

I really appreciate that the NBC logo goes yellow on cautions.

I'm okay with this.
>>69185681
>>69185708
it's a meme that Dale Jarrett started a long time ago at plate tracks
He won a few of them by riding in 40th for half the race and missing wrecks
It doesn't work these days.
>>69185681
Has a guy ever tried this strategy of laying back, and then have it backfire by getting lapped (due to losing the lead draft) and being unable to won because they can't get their lap back?
Fucking commercials!
REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>69185722
Yeah and it's great that the Sprint logo flashes yellow across the screen during a green flag, really keeps you on your toes
I'm watching this sport for the first time and during all the pregame guff I noticed all the drivers with cokes.
I know they get paid to be seen with them on camera but it left me wondering, they don't actually drink that stuff, do they?
It'd be really dangerous to be dehydrated before a 3 hour race, right?
>>69185802
Yeah they don't
>>69185722
NBCSN has really good graphics 2bh. Their lower thirds are very well done, as are their fullscreen graphics for shit like explaining drag.
As someone who has had to make a few lower thirds, I appreciate that NBC put the effort in there. So many big time networks cheap out on shitty graphics.
>miller lite

It also backfired a few times even then.
>>69185740
If I'm remembering right, usually like 4 or 5 of the upper tier guys (Jarrett, Bobby Labonte, whoever else) would hang back about a second or so from the main pack, and just hang out there until the chucklefucks in front of them messed up. Sometimes it worked, sometimes they'd get caught up in the mess anyway (as I believe happened to Jarrett in 2001).
The fuck is that hipster faggot?

Small Fox station in NC. Made a few lower third drafts, couple OTS graphics, some full screen weather graphics, and a split screen graphic or two. parts were used and changed and mixed with other ideas. Nothing I'm particularly proud of. Was an intern there for a little while when I was in schoo.

Some stations have amazing graphics, but there are some big stations with shitty ones. I never paid attention to it till I got into the designing field. One of my favorite stations for graphics is the Cooking Channel. They have very simplistic graphics but they're clean and very well made. Travel Channel's are good too.
