Leaving the house here shortly for a recon mission in the desert. I am searching for a shortcut to LasVegas Motor Speedway for next weekends races - going both days. Traffic is terrible, only two ways in and out - in search of #3!!

Drive the truck, Dale!!!!!

There are a lot of NASCAR races. Do they have them all year long or is there a "season" for car racing? What about the cars that get smashed up? Do they let the race car driver use a different car for the next race or does he have to fix the car he has?

[NormsRevenge]

[Dog Gone]

Most teams have several cars. In fact, they all bring two cars to each race in case the first one is wrecked during practice.

[ewing]

Rusty and Mark Martin were practicing their racing setups on Firday in quailfying before the Saturday washout..

[Overtaxed]

Season is from Daytona (mid Feb.) to mid. November. They use different cars all season long.

[CAfraudPI]

What's the forcast and who do you like?

[ewing]

I believe most teams have 2-3 cars depending on the week..

[NormsRevenge]

There are a lot of NASCAR races. / Yup!. Some of us think not enough!

Do they have them all year long or is there a "season" for car racing? / January to November typically.

What about the cars that get smashed up? / They turn into spare parts or get junked if severe damage happens. The expensive and most valuable pieces are the engine and frame. A lot of time and effort are put into these key components.

Do they let the race car driver use a different car for the next race or does he have to fix the car he has? / If he can fix the one he broke, that's OK. Usually every team has a backup car he can use as well.

I'm sure other folks will expand on answers to yur questions. Thanks for asking.

Welcome aboard!

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks for the post, I was wondering what the weather was like today. Yesterday sure was a washout. When will the Busch race run?

Who's the winner today?? I'm going with Ryan or Matt today, my #1 favorite Junior doesn't do well at this track. Steve Park won two years ago and I sure would like to see him get a win!!

Traffic is terrible, only two ways in and out - in search of #3!!

What about the third option?

(What, you mean you're NOT independently wealthy? ;) )

[SamAdams76]

Thanks for the quick answers. I am starting to watch NASCAR races with my two sons and this is all new to me.

[NormsRevenge]

OOPs.. Thanks overtaxed. I was dreaming when I said January to November. :-) I wish it started before the Super Bowl.

[NormsRevenge]

Windy and cool. partly cloudy.

Who do I like? I pull for Jeff Gordon #24, but I'm thinking Martin or Marlin or .. hell, I don't know. ;-)

[section9]

Jeez, Tony Stewart is way back int he nosebleed section.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Overtaxed]

They're running the Busch race tomorrow, but I haven't got the time or station at hand.

[NormsRevenge]

The Busch race was re-scheduled to Monday.. 1030 AM ET. Weather looks OK for today and tomorrow.
