Season-long Auto Racing thread - San Diego Naval Base Coronado June 19-21

[BigJay]

One interesting side note I thought I read was that Cup regulars can only race Cup this weekend.

Same with Oreillys regulars only racing Oreillys.

Meaning SVG and/or Zilisch won’t be able to drop down to the O’Reilly’s race where they would both be heavily favored.

And Heim can’t drop down to trucks where he’d be a big fave.

Only one I see entered in two of the races this weekend is Austin Hill.

And I’m thinking an exception was made for Hill, an Oreillys regular, who is filling in for Kyle Busch as his replacement for the RCR team in Cup.

Side note:

Jimmie Johnson will race in the TRICON #1 truck Heim has already won in three times this season.

The reality of it though with Jimmie will likely be more like Willie Mays playing center field for the Mets his last couple of seasons.

The once great champion…

Coach racing on an active naval base in San Diego this week. Pretty exciting.

Street course past air craft carriers, etc.

SVG has won 6 Cup road course races in a row.

So there’s that.

We should just pencil in #7.

SVG number 97 but I knew what you meant.

Zilisch has been such ass in cup but he’ll still likely be second fave because he’s so good on the road.

So he'll have great equipment.... and the performance will be strictly based on how good the driver does. Lets see how the 50 yo does....

I meant his 7th road race winner in a row.

Looking at these two crazy sharp turns early on.

Will likely be some crashes going for position.

For the first time ever Nascar heads to an active military base - Naval Base Coronado in San Diego.

This temporarily-built street course will be the longest track in NASCAR history. 3.4 miles, 16-turns, with a distinct military and naval-aviation themed layout. Active aircraft carriers will even be in the background.

All three series in action: Trucks 7 pm ET Friday, O’Reilly’s 5 pm ET Saturday and Cup 4 pm ET Sunday.

Sounds very cool!

Now this one’s a little different, it should be interesting. Jake give us a nice parlay for all of us to enjoy.

My buddy corrected me earlier today on this…Reddick won at cota this year.
