It’s their license agreement with NASCAR. It doesn’t allow them to air cable races on Peacokc. I haven’t seen this specifically reported, but I imagine this changes next year with the new tv deal.
HRRR is showing some downright nasty stuff around 4-5PM est today. I sure hope Nascar and the track has a safety plan in place. Highest tornado risk and general severe storm risk in many years for this part of the country. It IS going to rain today, just a matter of when. If this turns into an MCS, it'll likely impact the track earlier than anticipated, if things stay discrete, storms will likely stay on track for 4pm - 5pm but withhold a higher risk of rotation. The only thing saving today from going wild is the CAP.
All that being said, I look forward to Logano or Truex winning here per usual.
God-dang East Coast Masshole-adajcent city slickers, going all up with trying to take all the tornadoes from the Heartland...
That's *our* destructive display of nature, stick to your dang ol' blizzards and nor'easters, yeah!
More on the weather. The NWS says there is an 80% chance that they will be issuing a Tornado Watch for basically the entire state of New Hampshire (and the entire state of Vermont) within the next few hours. (I've lived in NH my whole life and I can't recall another time that virtually the entire state got put under a Tornado Watch and it would figure that it would happen when NASCAR is here)
RaceWeather and NASCAR\_WXMAN both say that NASCAR should be able to get the race to halfway if not the full race in before any weather hits Loudon.

not really they seal it with a tar similar to the stuff used with asphalt. that melts with high heat if they're using jet dryers this is a known possibility
I don’t think that was ever officially confirmed, just that they wouldn’t have shows based out of the studio. But I guess with no truck race at the same track this weekend they wouldn’t have sent anyone to NH.
From here forward they only plan to do raceday for the Truck Races, no more for Cup (at least for this year). Next year is TBD, rumor is that they will use the new NASCAR production studio since FOX is repurposing the CGI studio they have used the past few years.
It used to be 300. Then they were sponsored by Lennox for a few years and they “go the extra mile.”
We also had the Aaron’s 499 because they had a “For $99/month” deal.
That last caution went as long as it did because they had to repair the Armco Barrier where the GT car hit. The first caution for the stalled car was a lot quicker.
So some good news. RaceWeather is predicting that they should be able to get past halfway and likely get the whole race in today. [https://x.com/RaceWeather/status/1804901311344763245](https://x.com/RaceWeather/status/1804901311344763245)
Another reason it scares me to hear the early chatter about a long term plan being GT3 Pro and Pro/Am and Hypercar Pro and Pro/Am being the end game for a bit.
I don’t want Pro/Am in Hypercars 😂
If it rains enough to stop the race I hope it doesn't get to halfway. Sometimes it's exciting because they don't know when the race will end and they're all super aggressive, but sometimes it's just boring like the coke 600 this year.
Just saw this but if you have a VPN you can set it to Canada, Mexico or somewhere in Europe and you can watch on the IMSA YouTube channel, it’s how im watching to get it commercial free.

It’s always hard to predict winners when it comes to races. However, I think a current non-playoff driver gets the W today, but it won’t be a Hendrick car (Bowman). Some names I like based off the starting lineup:
- Row 3 of Martin Truex Jr. and Ross Chastain
- P10 Josh Berry
- P15 Chris Buescher
- Row 9 of Bubba Wallace and Ty Gibbs
Truex ran well at NH last year and should be a threat. Chastain and Buescher seem due for a W. I believe Berry is on the verge of getting W No. 1. Wallace has had strong finishes in the last two races here. Gibbs will win asp, and I think today could be that day.
I think it’s gonna be the Penske vs Hendrick show like last week - Blaney’s been so fast on the flatter tracks (Iowa and Gateway) and Hendrick is Hendrick. Plus Chase and Ryan on the front row to start
Peacock won't have NASCAR until the Chicago street race this year. Supposedly it'll have all NBC races next year though when the new contract kicks in.
It's a streaming app like Netflix. Don't know if Comcast customers get it for free. It's $5.99 a month with ads and $9.99 without adds. Nascar isn't on it this week though.
Watching IMSA at Watkins Glen makes me hope Laguna Seca and Willow Springs can manage to be around for a while. It’d be weird and sad not having these tracks.
IMSA on USA currently. Worth the watch until NASCAR comes on. Hope we can get the whole race in today. Dealing with weather as a fan at the track always sucks.

Anyone with an extra ticket to the race that’s looking to get rid of it? Just not trying to buy full price ticket for my brother with Cerebral Palsy who usually can’t make it through an entire race. Just don’t want to buy a ticket and then have to leave early for whatever reason
watching the 05 season, and Jr impressed the hell out of me twice in 2 interviews. first was: q. Who in the sport comes to mind when you hear "underrated?" A: Denny Hamlin (Leffler was in the 11 at the time)
and in another when it was: q. What's something about you that surprises fans? A: I don't like when people use racial slurs around me
Keep in mind Dale Jr wanted Denny Hamlin to drive cup for DEI.
Dale Jr was buddies with Hamlin. If he dropped Hamlin's name in 2005, it wasn't an accident.
damn I figured, lol. but didn't know he wanted him in a car. heard another couple good what-ifs recently. Truex was gonna replace Sterling Marlin, and Jamie Mac would fill Mark Martin's void at Roush.
and my god, do they lay it on thick that Mark is done full-time just for him to say sike lmao
Watching the Spanish Grand Prix. My takeaway is that while Max Verstappen and Red Bull are still the driver/team to beat, they are not as invincible as they were in the past two seasons
Thanks because the dvr is so dumb I have to record earlier now. Basically if the network doesn’t change the guide to say “cup race” it won’t record even though the race is actually on.
My father my sister and I are getting ready to head up. We haven’t bought tickets yet but we’ve committed to at least making the trip. Here’s to not having two washouts here in a row! Looking somewhat promising.
I like how different Fox and NBC are on nascar weather move ups.
Fox is like we gotta show pre-race cermonies and NBC is like we see you at green flag.
fox: “NOOOOO we need to spend an hour airing a feature on the drivers golfing with Michael Waltrip before the race”
nbc: “start broadcast during pace laps (optional)”
Here we are, once again, with our weekly Race Day Foods post, *New Hampshire Edition.*
I didn't feel like cooking today, so I'm having pizza and buffalo wings.
What is everyone else having today?
i could really go for a good race today, the last few days havent gone very well and id love to get my mind going somewhere else lol
however its New Hampshire and i know the racing here can only be so exciting so

Well the forecast looks a lot more promising! 60% chance starting at 5 PM. If we run green a lot then we should be able to get the whole race in. Even if we don’t make it the whole distance, we should definitely be able to make it to halfway.
I’d say to anyone debating on going, absolutely 100% make the trip up today.

It’s a virtual room and someone used I think a view from Toronto as a virtual picture outside the window.
How do I get a virtual room?
Oh how I have missed full field rundowns like this. Love it!
This has been a really boring race so far but NBC always tries to make it interesting. Fox would be talking about waffles and country music by now
Are NBC nascar races on peacock?
Only a handful of the really big races like Chicago street race and Phoenix
Seems like only the ones that actually air on NBC. You know, the ones you can easily get with an antenna. So annoying.
That’s wild cause IMSA and indycar USA races are still on there what are they doing 😭
It’s their license agreement with NASCAR. It doesn’t allow them to air cable races on Peacokc. I haven’t seen this specifically reported, but I imagine this changes next year with the new tv deal.
I cant find it
Dammit thanks for checking
Meanwhile in IMSA, the #33 LMP2 Ligier has crashed, race is official Oh yeah and it's about to rain too lol
I’m pretty sure one of the last Chicagoland races had a tornado warning and they kept going until it rained
A tornado watch itself shouldn't stop racing. It's strictly a potential for.
2018 I believe, the Larson - Ky Busch battle
The Coke 600 had a severe thunderstorm warning (tornado possible), and they kept going until Fox took them off the air.
Anyone can take a pic of the classic trailer to see what new merchandise they have? Thanks.

I'm from Oklahoma and I don't feel like I should be reading about the HRRR and CAP for a race in New Hampshire lol Hopefully everyone stays safe.
Lol. It’s most certainly the first time looked at the HRRR for New Hampshire. Felt weird.
You mean Bell?
I'd prefer that, but he's going to get shafted somehow, I can feel it in my bones.
Last time I was at Loudon KFB won. Hoping for the same

Do we have tornado tires?
Does the track have a tornado shelter, Bob?
They do plan on probably using the rain tires at some point. I don't think they'll race in the actual rain though, just "damp" conditions
I hope MTJ gets a win today.

Luckily, a watch is just a heads up. A warning is when you have to start worrying.
Well shit.
Mother Nature really finding new ways to fuck with NASCAR like she'll throw an entire huge ass meteor shower if she has to jesus christ man
It rains frogs. )

Pocono ‘22 and Dover last year. Both times I thought I’d be able to see him win in person but damnit so close.
love rain-threatened races
Just got here….not raining but not exactly dry either

not really they seal it with a tar similar to the stuff used with asphalt. that melts with high heat if they're using jet dryers this is a known possibility
Hope they race today. I need racing to cope with the heartbreak from yesterday. 😂
What happint yestiddy?
Custer got pushed out of the way while he was in the lead. With 2 to go.
Thank you.
FOX Raceday was supposed to be on for this race but on Fox Sports Racing it’s just flattrack stuff. Is it the same on FS1?
When RaceHub was canceled, it also canceled Raceday because it was filmed at the same place.
I don’t think that was ever officially confirmed, just that they wouldn’t have shows based out of the studio. But I guess with no truck race at the same track this weekend they wouldn’t have sent anyone to NH.
From here forward they only plan to do raceday for the Truck Races, no more for Cup (at least for this year). Next year is TBD, rumor is that they will use the new NASCAR production studio since FOX is repurposing the CGI studio they have used the past few years.
Yep
It's the same on FS1.
Is this the short track package, or the same package as Gateway?
Yes same as Gateway and Phoenix.
short track
I've got a feeling this is the week Logano gets his win
Hoping you're right! 🤞🤞🤞 I'm being realistic and if he can grab a top 10 and stage points today, I'll be a happy camper
[Cars being pushed to pit road](https://x.com/bobpockrass/status/1804912694769660056)
Bubba needs a good race. He’s gonna need a win to get in playoffs
Hope he gets that win.
I hope he don’t make it.
🙄
Is there a particular reason why the race is always a 301
It used to be 300. Then they were sponsored by Lennox for a few years and they “go the extra mile.” We also had the Aaron’s 499 because they had a “For $99/month” deal.
Whoever the sponsor was in the first race of 2008 wanted it. Even after they left, they never changed it.
One of the old sponsors had a slogan the "they go the extra mile" hence the 301
We like to complain about how long the cautions are in nascar but IMSA and WEC have some cautions that are stupidly long
That last caution went as long as it did because they had to repair the Armco Barrier where the GT car hit. The first caution for the stalled car was a lot quicker.
So some good news. RaceWeather is predicting that they should be able to get past halfway and likely get the whole race in today. [https://x.com/RaceWeather/status/1804901311344763245](https://x.com/RaceWeather/status/1804901311344763245)
Yeah my app says we should be okay till around 5-6ET, so should for sure get to halfway maybe the whole race.
Lets GOOO
Testing to see if my flare changed from Larson and caruth
Yep it worked
I need to do the multiple flair thing at this point, keep forgetting. This is another good reminder that I’ll quickly forget 😂
Arca brake moment in IMSA
"LMP3s!!! NOO!!!" "whaat?" "sorry force of habit" "LMP2s!!! NOOOO!!!"
Quite a few of those LMP3 teams did move to the LMP2 class meaning their bronze drivers did too.
Another reason it scares me to hear the early chatter about a long term plan being GT3 Pro and Pro/Am and Hypercar Pro and Pro/Am being the end game for a bit. I don’t want Pro/Am in Hypercars 😂
Well that explains a lot then lmao
Yeah. Thankfully we do have the likes of Ben Keating who's a pretty darn solid bronze driver.
If it rains enough to stop the race I hope it doesn't get to halfway. Sometimes it's exciting because they don't know when the race will end and they're all super aggressive, but sometimes it's just boring like the coke 600 this year.
So ummm, are we racing at 2:30?
2:00/2:06
Wish I had a way to watch IMSA right now
Just saw this but if you have a VPN you can set it to Canada, Mexico or somewhere in Europe and you can watch on the IMSA YouTube channel, it’s how im watching to get it commercial free. Edit: YouTube link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I7K139PoHAQ
It’s on USA network for the first half
I don't have cable, just online streaming.
Ahh ok
JUST PARKED IN THE EAST LOT. LETS GO RACING
In honor of the race being in New Hampshire we should all watch the classic film " On Golden Pond" while we wait out the rain delay.
It’s always hard to predict winners when it comes to races. However, I think a current non-playoff driver gets the W today, but it won’t be a Hendrick car (Bowman). Some names I like based off the starting lineup: - Row 3 of Martin Truex Jr. and Ross Chastain - P10 Josh Berry - P15 Chris Buescher - Row 9 of Bubba Wallace and Ty Gibbs Truex ran well at NH last year and should be a threat. Chastain and Buescher seem due for a W. I believe Berry is on the verge of getting W No. 1. Wallace has had strong finishes in the last two races here. Gibbs will win asp, and I think today could be that day.
Not sure you can realistically believe Chastain wins from row 8, nor bubba.
Potential to be a wonky strategy race especially with the impending weather. Hard to rule anything out.
I think it’s gonna be the Penske vs Hendrick show like last week - Blaney’s been so fast on the flatter tracks (Iowa and Gateway) and Hendrick is Hendrick. Plus Chase and Ryan on the front row to start
Already DVR'ing the US/ENG cricket match. Anyone know if this will be on The Cock?
Wait until you see the collapse the US just had to end their half of the inning.
Just watched it. Jesus...
Worse than Afghanistan/Australia?
Peacock won't have NASCAR until the Chicago street race this year. Supposedly it'll have all NBC races next year though when the new contract kicks in.
How do I watch peacock, do I need comcast or something?
It's a streaming app like Netflix. Don't know if Comcast customers get it for free. It's $5.99 a month with ads and $9.99 without adds. Nascar isn't on it this week though.
Got it I was always under the impression that I needed comcast for it given how closely tied it is.
I love when things stream on the (pea)cock
Watching IMSA at Watkins Glen makes me hope Laguna Seca and Willow Springs can manage to be around for a while. It’d be weird and sad not having these tracks.
IMSA on USA currently. Worth the watch until NASCAR comes on. Hope we can get the whole race in today. Dealing with weather as a fan at the track always sucks.

This was moved up? Glad I saw this post, I would have missed the start!
Can’t wait to watch the USA (better get this fucker in) TODAY 301!
Those who are in NH, what're the odds we're looking at a Monday race here?
NH here.. The forecast looks promising unless we get those tornadoes the local news were talking about this afternoon
Forecast and radar look promising. Rain is predicted to come in around 5pm. 3 hours after the start of the race at 1pm.
>the start of the race at 1pm. The race starts at 2 pm EDT or 1 pm CDT.
Yeah 2pm EDT my bad. 1pm where I'm at haha
Just watched the F1 race, about to switch it to USA and leave it on for the next 12 hours🤣
I'll have Peacock on for the IMSA race.
I don't have peacock so oof
Anyone with an extra ticket to the race that’s looking to get rid of it? Just not trying to buy full price ticket for my brother with Cerebral Palsy who usually can’t make it through an entire race. Just don’t want to buy a ticket and then have to leave early for whatever reason
Looks like it will be racing to 5:00. Last year’s race was timed 3 hrs 8 min.
>Looks like it will be racing to 5:00. Problem with that its really close to Indycar timeslot for USA that time.
According to the guide though there is Indy pre race from 5-5:30, so we'll have a small buffer
CNBC is also a possibility to bump someone to.
It'll definitely be on the NBC sports app regardless, which is free to anyone who has the NBC channels
True, but let's be real though no offense to Indy, but I think the finish of a Cup race will get priority over the start of an Indy race
So it looks like they get the track dried and a popup shower/storm goes over the track type delay.
watching the 05 season, and Jr impressed the hell out of me twice in 2 interviews. first was: q. Who in the sport comes to mind when you hear "underrated?" A: Denny Hamlin (Leffler was in the 11 at the time) and in another when it was: q. What's something about you that surprises fans? A: I don't like when people use racial slurs around me
Keep in mind Dale Jr wanted Denny Hamlin to drive cup for DEI. Dale Jr was buddies with Hamlin. If he dropped Hamlin's name in 2005, it wasn't an accident.
damn I figured, lol. but didn't know he wanted him in a car. heard another couple good what-ifs recently. Truex was gonna replace Sterling Marlin, and Jamie Mac would fill Mark Martin's void at Roush. and my god, do they lay it on thick that Mark is done full-time just for him to say sike lmao
Hopefully Goodyear brought their tornado tires for this one
Even a tornado couldn’t make them wear
🔥
If they do a rain delay any chance the tv channel switches from USA because of Indy car, i wanna set my dvr
Watching the Spanish Grand Prix. My takeaway is that while Max Verstappen and Red Bull are still the driver/team to beat, they are not as invincible as they were in the past two seasons
McLaren had the best car today they just had absolutely horrible strategy
lol Max is still winning.
Yeah. Norris would have been up there if Russell didn't shitititid on his start
I thought I heard they moved the race time up? Am I that tired today, or is it really going to be on earlier?
It moved up from 2:36 to 2:06. If your guide says NASCAR Cup pre-race on USA at 2:00, that's when the race starts.
Thanks because the dvr is so dumb I have to record earlier now. Basically if the network doesn’t change the guide to say “cup race” it won’t record even though the race is actually on.
Ok, we watch on the app so we don’t always see the times which gets annoying! Thank you.
2:06 green flag.
Haha, ok! I thought so, but didn’t know if 230 was the updated time or if the bot wasn’t that smart 😂. Y’all I’m tired
I really couldn’t find any value on the books today, so I took Kese top Ford +400.
Someone said there was a Gibbs vs keselowski.
It’s Kese -190 or Gibbs +140. Not great value on either
My father my sister and I are getting ready to head up. We haven’t bought tickets yet but we’ve committed to at least making the trip. Here’s to not having two washouts here in a row! Looking somewhat promising.
I'm in the same boat. Just told my grandmother I wasn't going to bother lol. Now I'm fueling up my truck and heading up.
The threat of rain is going to give us some awesome racing today I think. Hoping we at least get to halfway without any delays!
only misting here right now barely. so far so good
I like how different Fox and NBC are on nascar weather move ups. Fox is like we gotta show pre-race cermonies and NBC is like we see you at green flag.

Sounds good!
It's gonna be Chester's Chicken from a gas station on the way to the track for me.
Nice. Enjoy!
idk what im going for today but I went and got Dave’s Hot Chicken for yesterday’s race
That's one place I haven't tried yet, but heard they are really good (I love spicy food).

If we run green a lot then we should be able to get the whole race in. Even if we don’t make it the whole distance, we should definitely be able to make it to halfway. I’d say to anyone debating on going, absolutely 100% make the trip up today.
Ty!
