Big crash for Norris in Q3 as the weather got worse.
Red flag for the crash, but it was looking like heading that way anyway due to the condition.
Lando is out the car and got into the medical car under his own power.

Verstappen takes pole in Belgium, ahead of... *checks notes* ...George Russell.

23XI announced Kurt Busch to the 45 as a teammate to Bubba Wallace with Monster Energy as the primary sponsor. NASCAR also confirmed the numbers will be moved forward on the door of the car for the Gen 7 in 2022. Unless Rick Ware is selling a charter, I have no idea where they're going to get one from. There were rumblings that they might buy out Front Row, but if that's the case, they'd be holding an extra charter because I doubt they're going to run a 3rd car right away. Jordan's a big enough deal that if he wants one bad enough, I'm sure NASCAR will pressure someone into selling it to him, though. ...that's one "Silly Season" thing I wish people would document better. The movement of charters, especially since leases go year-to-year. (eg : Trackhouse's one is going back to Spire, Ganassi's are going to Trackhouse) Kaulig still needs one for next year, too...

I found a chart of charters a few months ago, but agree that I would love them to go more in depth. I could see them purchasing Front Row and leasing the 3rd charter until they want to use it, or maybe they have a goodwill deal with Petty to buy the 51 charter that Petty Ware owns since they're using the 45. Another possibility I read (again, all rumors and speculation) is that 23XI and Petty unite and they still use that 51 charter for the 45.

Alright, race fans, it's the Coke Zero 400. The Regular Season Finale. Numerous drivers are on the win and get in. It's Daytona. You go full throttle, screaming the entire way, and when your spotter and crew chief yell at you to stop, you're finishing in third backwards and possibly upside down.
So reach back and pull those belts tight ONE MORE TIME!!!

Ryan Blaney wins at Daytona! 2 in a row to close the regular season, 3 total. Awaiting final results before posting, but looks like Tyler Reddick gets the final playoff spot over his teammate Austin Dillon

Verstappen takes pole in Belgium, ahead of... *checks notes* ...George Russell. That quali session was wild. I was rather worse for wear after one too many beverages on Feiday night so I was curled up on me sofa when Quali was ongoing. When George went purple in S1 everyone was going nuts and I just shrugged cos that sector means nowt in the grand scheme of things. Then he went purple in sector 2 and I literally rose from my sofa in excitement/awe like I'd rose from the dead. I love Max to bits but I was praying he would have a slow final sector just so we could see a ridiculous Williams pole. Race should be fun.

Watching the cars going round to the grid, you probably don't want to miss the start in Spa (assuming they do a normal start).

15 minutes til we get going at a soggy Spa. No word on whether it's a standard start or if they'll start behind the safety car.

Well, this could be absolute carnage. Misty, foggy rain on the mighty Spa circuit.

And we're finally underway with the formation lap(s) behind the safety car. Reports of the rain getting heavier in about 15 minutes.

Current discussion on commentary is about Perez and the fact that he's being allowed to start after all and how he should technically be a lap behind everybody since they did an extra lap behind the safety car.

They don’t get this thing started again in the next 90 minutes, it’s getting abandoned. And even then, they won’t be running a full distance.
