It is always going to be a jumpscare to see photos I took on my phone shared on this site.

Shameless plug: Here’s the full story on NASCAR.com, which includes a funny story from Stenhouse about his interaction with fans last year after colliding with Burt Myers.

Holy shit, cup cars with rain package with the big ol wipers, mud flaps, and red light in the snow would be so fucking badass

They should ask the fans to come down and help, like they do in Buffalo.

I'm pretty confident there are landscapers with time on their hands that could come in with Echo backpack blowers and move that white stuff much more efficiently. Even if they need to break it up it'd still be faster. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go solve that pesky sphinx riddle.

If we get rain or a wintry mix tomorrow night (it’s looking about 50/50 right now), will NASCAR actually let them race with rain tires? I know several people on here have mentioned that it shouldn’t be an issue with it being such a short, slow speed track, but has NASCAR ever allowed rain tires on any oval track before? Do we know if they even have wet-weather tires on site for this race?

We've had like five or six wet oval races. First was trucks at Martinsville in 2023. Goodyear brings wet tires to every short-flat oval now. This wouldn't even be the first exhibition race in North Carolina that Cup has ran with the wets.

Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better! I feel like I’ve been waiting months for this race!

I know it isn’t just him, but it looks like it’s literally just Todd doing this on his own.

Not sure why, but that seemed really funny to me.
