Saw Andy at church Sunday, he seemed pretty content with his decision
Yeah know what you mean driving across memphis / Arkansas bridge is same way esp I 40
Not a racecar fan n you r one of the biggest jokes
1 – there is no reason they can’t put 2” of 0.5 super pave on them with a stronger PG
2 – the primary problem with asphalt is 2 issues, color and abrasive consistency. if they would’ve colored the concrete dark and did micro milling in the bottom and acid washed the middle and top, it’d actually be better than asphalt.
the great part of concrete is you can change the surface and not significantly impact the structural integrity of the section.
Yes a concrete roads are the worst!
All sports have gotten serious about recovery, Peter McNabb was one of my favorite Bruins players and he talks about the keg they always had in the locker room after games. Now a days the players start recovery before they've even taken their skates off.
I live on a concrete road. The dut dut dut dut, I felt that
That's because they don't put sand under the concrete . Everyone in construction knows that.
The fact is that Dale Earnhardt was Rcr . They never. Recovered .
It’s called an expansion joint.
It’s hilarious that Jr has went back to Pandemic Jr… these shows suck ass over zoom… cmon Jr…. This is fucking dumb
Put some asphalt back on Bristol and you will pack the place again!
Where's the dang Titanic
Does Dale ever make personal appearance in daytona aeea?
Hockey pucks!!. That's funny right there. 😂😂😂
I was at Nashville kinda stupid to have a day race in Tennessee during the summer people from Florida where complaining about that heat I'm from here and I had a hard time with the day race to hot
Austin Dillon is the problem at RCR
Don't give to shakes about Nascar any more , ever since the COT came into the picture , Nascar slowly put a strangle hold on racing . Teams can't do anything anymore , Nascar controls it all ! Stage racing has KILLED the sport , viewer ship is down , stands are half empty , it's dying , let it GO !!
I know what Dale Jr. Is talking about. The old Bristol was a great race. Yees, it would rear up the asphalt. The duribility has not changed.
The first time I went to Bristol it was an pavement track and had concrete bleachers. It's my home track and I so wanted to see Dale and the 3 team win and Dale broke the cam on the second lap. I was so bummed
If they can create a track in LA for that stupid race and afford it, they can afford to repave Bristol and Dover.
Is that the same lego set as byron had? His was like 4 feet.. Dales feels alot smaller
Bruton Smith took a great track at bristol and destroyed it, I've been to 74 races at Bristol and haven't been for 5 years and I'm not alone ,just look at the attendance
Of course the main reason was not just the asphalt was tearing up, it was crappy modern concrete. New asphalt doesn't last near as long as the original old school asphalt of yesteryear. The real question is why?
Just thinking out loud here: They had a magical place called Bristol. Then they messed it up by changing it to concrete. They have paved over the concrete with dirt. Why not throw a layer of asphalt over top the concrete and see what magic happens? Who's with me?
