Some of the Clash is also on Saturday. Qualifying and heat races. So we got a jam packed weekend

Not looking good for any racing this weekend. They're looking into some other options, which include canceling the Clash altogether.

Sad blaze noises

Was looking forward to some racing.

Same. I'm pretty bummed. Looking at below freezing temperatures at the scheduled start time, which is gonna make it hard to do anything Saturday/Sunday. I've heard of some talk about it being run on Monday, some talk of doing it the following Saturday, and some talk of scrapping the whole thing.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Got it on good authority that the Clash IS going to happen....somewhere between Saturday and Tuesday.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Per Pockrass, Saturday is canceled but we’ve got a day full of action on Sunday

Seems like Brian Vickers, MWR, and Joe Gibbs all mentioned in the Epstien Files. Yikes man.

 

[Blazehausen]

Gibbs could be nothing. Its 1 mention of him.

Vickers is like 112 times

Brians Ex-Wife was Epsteins secretary. I did some searching because I remember Brian Vickers supposedly being in trouble long ago with his wife at the time...but I guess it was basically his wife working for Epstein and news articles back then made it sound like they got caught with sex trafficking themselves. So hopefully for Brian there is nothing more to it than who his ex-wife worked for.

Anyway, looks like the biggest clash this weekend for NASCAR is still going to be the snow and cold. I know that it's a "wait and see" if it actually snows there today but I wouldn't be surprised if by noon they decide to postpone it for the sake of safety. Not just for the snow/ice but the wind chill.

The Clash is postponed to Monday due to winter weather.

 

[Stellar]

I actually guessed it right...postponed before noon. lol

Sucks that it was postponed but hey, there is no defeating mother nature.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Clash postponed to Wednesday

 

[Stellar]

Clash postponed to Thursday.

Just kidding.

Actually, I stumbled on to some news that Joe Gibbs Racing has secured the number 11 in the O'Reilly Series, which was Kaulig racings number and obviously they backed out of the series. So now speculations abound on if Hamlin will be in some O'Reilly Series races this year. I'm just thinking that Gibbs simply wants the number since he has it in the cup series, like 18, 19 and 20.

Nothing but speculation here, but I’m wondering if Toyota helped make this happen to get Heim some more seat time in Xfinity.


Also, Bowman Gray and the surrounding areas are expecting snow and rain on Wednesday. So you may be right lol

The Clash might happen at some point
