I wish we could upvote or downvote the commercials.
This almost as bad as the half time of the super bowl.

:::Their tires will dry the track in a few laps:::
How about rain tires at 150 Mph.??

And the Beast wins in one lap!
It was not raining at the time.
The race is toast for the day or at least several hours.
That Toyota commercial with the scum sucking monster was kinda cute.
Well since I know nothing aout racing I figured I’d do what I do....photos! lolol Did you see where I called the raceway a runway! HAHAHA!
Well...there is such a thing, otherwise, what's the point in having fenders?
How long would it take them to switch back to slicks instead of wasting valuable time air-drying the track to bone dry conditions?
Yeah, the Rolex 24 seems pretty civilized. They go real fast, turn left and right...don't crash a lot.
Then there's USAC, they have excitement. 140 MPH sideways or backwards....on dirt.
Wheel stands when the track is just right.
