Since the racing season is near, I thought we should start a new thread for the year.
NHRA Winternationals is this weekend, and a number of headlines for the NHRA Season:
Tony Schumacher is not competing this weekend, as they're still looking for a sponsor for his car, after the US Army ended their 19-year partnership with DSR.
Courtney Force is stepping away from the driver's seat in JFR's third funny car for "personal reasons." Britney Force will carry the Advance Auto Parts Sponsorship after Monster left.
Speaking of Britney, her entire team left to work for Mike Salinas' Scrappers Racing.
Pro Stock's schedule has decreased this year, in hopes to increase car count. Instead of the 24 events this season, they will now run 18 events.

Thanks for starting a new thread, Lupin the Third. This weekend the NASCAR season also begins, with the Clash and Daytona 500 front row qualifying on Sunday, followed by the Duels to set the field on Thursday, the Truck Series race Friday night, Xfinity Saturday and the 500 on Sunday.

NASCAR said this week that they will be doing post race inspection at the track immediately after the race and should the person who wins the race fail post race inspection, they will be stripped of the win and everything that comes with it.
And because he failed to win the championship last session, Kevin Harvick will be driving the number 4 Busch Beer V-Lit paint scheme at the All Star Race.

William Byron gets the pole for the Daytona 500.
Alex Bowman starts 2nd, so it's a Hendrick Front Row.

Last year was a down year for the team, so them having the 1-2 positions is already an improvement for them.

And as we get closer to race time, a quick catch-up for the week:
Kevin Harvick won duel 1, while defending Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion Joey Logano (*vomit*) won the second duel.
Austin Hill won a caution filled Gander Outdoors Truck Series' NextEra Energy Resources 250 on the 11th lap of overtime over the 8 other trucks that survived.
Michael Annett drove his no. 1 JR Motorsports Chevrolet to Victory Lane in the Xfinity Series' NASCAR Racing Experience 300.

Here's all I want from the Monster Energy Series this year; Chase Elliott in the running for the championship and Bubba Wallace winning a race.
But we're probably going to get a three-way dance between Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., and Joey Logano this year. And that's lame.

And now for something completely different, a Letterman Top Ten list from 16 years ago today:
Top Ten Highlights Of Yesterday's Daytona 500 as presented by 2003 Daytona 500 champ, Michael Waltrip - February 17, 2003
10. I drove all 272-and-a-half miles while eating a roast beef sandwich 9. Tiger Woods finishing a respectable third place 8. When I pulled in for a tire change and my pit crew threw an early surprise birthday party 7. Thanks to the Chevrolet President's Day sale I got a nice new car for the race 6. Well, the part where I won was sorta cool 5. Beating the other drivers at our rain delay game of Scrabble 4. Win the Daytona 500, you get 500 bucks! 3. The hour delay during lap 23 because of rubbernecking 2. I listened to a Dr. Phil book-on-tape and it changed my life 1. I was warm and toasty in my car while you losers were up to your asses in snow

FAN, it's the Great American Race. It's the 61st Daytona 500. Who will earn the honors to hold the trophy that so many other legends have held before?
It's gonna be a wild one, so reach up and pull those belts tight ONE MORE TIME!!!!!

ANNND there's THE BIG ONE.
A shame since that was right when Kyle Busch took the lead, too.
