I watched the Xfinity race yesterday, and there were some pretty exciting moments and some good racing. I enjoyed chatting about Atlanta last week, so who's watching Las Vegas with me?

I will be watching with my mom this afternoon. Not sure how much I can get online.
Not to throw cold water on having a thread here, but you also might check out the reddit threads for each race.

These guys will toss up a "race thread" not long before the race begins and get hundreds of responses. I will keep this in the background during the race and press F5 to refresh to see what people are saying.
Here's an example from last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/comments/5xobz9/race_thread_mencs_folds_of_honor_quiktrip_500_at/
Enjoy the race!

I'll flip back and forth, on and off. I'm not going to stay inside all day. It's too nice outside.
Watching the IndyCar race right now and will switch over to the Cup race when this one is over.
It's cold here today lol.
Alright awesome.
Perhaps. Chase Elliot has really improved his overall performance as well. He just needs to seal the deal.
I highly respect Johnson's talent and accomplishments, but dang if it isn't disappointing to watch 400-500 miles of racing just for him(or Lagano) take the checkered flag. I mean, all he needs to do is run for president and win and he'll have won everything known to man.

Was hoping Harvick had a better day .
Oh well.
Oh well.
That was a hard hit. Not sure Lagano should have stayed out. Guess we'll see.
Tough break for Harvick. It was a brave call to leave JoLo out and it obviously backfired massively. Going for Ryan Blaney or Kyle Larson. Hard to pick a new driver to go for since Smoke retired.

Luckily Stewart is still up in the middle of things. I miss him too. I like the fact that he would speak his mind and was a bear to race against.
Happy that Harvick is ok and glad he ripped on the medical response. I am absolutely disgusted in NASCAR for not having a safety team like IndyCar has. All of their reasons are pure bovine excrement. It is absolutely inexcusable that a series like NASCAR does not have a professional traveling safety team in addition to whatever the track supplies. The France family has the money to buy 4-8 trucks and hire paramedics and firemen that are about to retire from the military to staff them. I can guarantee they can get a hold of Dr Steve Olvey or Dr Terry Trammell to help organize the team and get a qualified full time neurosurgeon an orthopedic surgeon at every event.
You know some of these hits on the safer barrier would have been career enders even ten years ago, including that one. Glad he's OK.

O absolutely, IndyCar did an amazing job developing the SAFER barrier. Also requiring a HANS device and the awesome seats used in NASCAR help a ton. I have seen the IndyCar safety crew in action and they are incredible. Unfortunately I have seen them in action at Vegas where a driver did not survive. But more than once you see the truck pull up to a crashed car before the car has stopped moving. They are even better than F1 in that regard.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tony Stewart took it upon himself to build a safety team. What do you want to bet Harvick gets fined for saying that like Stewart did last year for dissing the 3 lug nut rule?
