NASCAR epik
Yeah nascar good
NASCAR col
Nascar goated
Can you make your videos longer??
I saw the Chicago Street Race and wow, the one turn with the tire barrier that everyone got stuck under was crazy. Arby’s was probably happy lol
Turn 6, it wasn't a problem the day before in the (abortive) Xfinity race, but became an issue for cup. Even race control was surprised by it.
I was also at the race and the cars had a traffic jam on Jackson Street 😂
@@ETHANTHEGOAT33 lol
@@stephenbritton9297 oh that’s interesting
Fun Fact: I have a bit of the history for the Nashville track, and it was not on the NASCAR schedule for a while, so you could see how they never thought about that. In fact, it was out of use for so long, Nissan bought it up and used it to store overstock. Not saying NASCAR should not have put safer barrier there, but yea.
Raw Gator never disappoints his videos are always the top quality. I click fast when I see he posted.
i did not pay him to say this 🥲
@@RawGator there always amazing I think I’ve re watched some of them 10 times
@RowdyFan8 hi rowdy

3:29 with single-seaters this usually isn’t an issue; when racing in IndyCar or Formula E, for example, you can just flickspin the car and get out quickly (even quicker in an FE car due to the massive amounts of torque). But ofc, a stock car isn’t really nimble enough to do this, nor does it have the necessary acceleration for a quick spin turn 😅
Explainer over, now get back to the amazing video!
Shit like finding shortcuts on tracks is why I love Ross chastain. Guy thinks out side the box
I absolutely love these types of videos. Every one of Raw Gator’s videos are top notch.
Nice video! Quick update on the Atlanta pit road from a few weeks ago. While didn't get to see a green flag stop, they have a new unique rule for it.
Under the green flag, normal pit road speed (45 mph) only applies on the original pit road. Between the turn 3 entrance and the original pit road entry, there is now a double speed limit (90 mph). The entire pit road is 45 mph under caution.
There was some driver practice of this after qualifying, but no one knows yet how well (or not) it will actually work.
Amazing to see PIR get some love in these videos. I always feel like Phoenix gets overlooked in other vids from other creators.
Pocono has something similar with the pylon in the middle of the pit wall which someone can hit although it is smaller.
This is awesome great job! Dude
Theses videos bring a smile to my face being a nascar fan
if you make a part 2 here's a suggestion. On the backstretch at Gateway, there's this little opening which is how the haulers get into the track. They actually moved the wall back some as the track slightly widens before going back to the same spot where the wall is. Fortunatley no one's ever hit this during a race
really wish I added this. would've been perfect
It's not there anymore. They seal off that opening before the race so the outer wall is straight now
Its been 2 years since you made the older weirdest areas of NASCAR track's video!? Man time flies
You know it’s a good day when this man uploads
One thing I always try and do in the NASCAR Heat games is go in the little shortcut area at Richmond doesn't work very well though so I wouldn't recommend it but you can drive on it
They changed the "short cut" at the indy road course this year to make it slower.
I got a NASCAR ad when I was about to watch this
Yooo o my god u hit 100k bro congrats man that’s so dope less go I was a subscriber before 100k
The only thing I can think of that is similar to to the Chicago box run off area is the one in Monaco f1 off turn 5.
It''s actually far more common. Almost every street track in existence has these boxy run off areas, especially in F1, FE, Touring Cars and V8 Supercars
Can’t believe you didn’t include the wall that Noah Gragson hit at Wilkesboro. That was goofy
What I always wonder is at the Charlotte roval if you miss the run off on the back you can come to a complete stop on front chicane. What if when a driver reaches NASCAR turn 1 instead of racing normal they keep their foot on the gas and drive around the entire track at full speed not slowing down to try and make the back stretch chicane than when they reach the front chicane come to a stop than drive and win the race. The only driver who I can see doing this is Ross Chastain if he is on the verge of being taken out the playoffs
another rawgator masterpiece! (i don't know have much interest in nascar but this seems like an amazing channel. 🖤🖤
Reddick also helped not create a very long caution by shredding his tire all the way around Sonoma.
1:55 i paused to read that and jeez that could actually happen if someone were to launch off a slow cars wheel and disintegrate into the pylon
What a trip glad you pointed all this out
Thank god the goat the best UA-camr has uplouded I am subbed and like most of your videos
Sonoma raceway has a wall around turn 11 now in 2024
I was at that Nashville race and saw Blaney hit that wall. It amazes me that Blaney walked away from that crash. Great video, though.
Hello! Just wanted to point out that the thing you found on richmond raceway is also at Iowa speedway, although it's much wider at iowa.
I love these weird area at tracks videos
While we're talking about Sonoma in the EA NASCAR games, the kerb at 4A will roll you out of a commanding lead when you least expect it on NASCAR 08. You can just be cruising along, smoking the field on the hardest difficulty with not so much as a scratch on the car, and then 🔃, you get sent all the way to the back with two laps to go for bringing out the caution all on your own when you thought you were taking it easy. I'm sure that goes a long way towards explaining why people hate that game.
Cool vid!
Raw Gator is really good and when he post a video I become so happy
In Micheal Mrucz’s Nascar 15 season Indy video, Mikey Walnuts (Micheal Waltrip) nearly hit the pylon
2 years later and it’s still so good!
Awesome
I noticed that part on NH5 for richmond to and considered to use it lol
The Turn 5-6 chicane at Indianapolis Road Course is a worthy addition to this list. I have never understood why it was incorporated in the first place. It’s not like the cars are going THAT fast at that point of the track.
Isn't that because the main back straight and the small straight after turn 4 are a bit off to the side of each other? I'm guessing they got rid of the F1 hairpin so they can put in more laps in the race
But if you're asking why the chicane is so tight then I'm not sure why either. They have enough runoff at the end of the straight afterall
The Chicago street course run off can be extended and widened fixing that, the Indy Road Course, yeah that first turn fun off all NASCAR can really do is penalize any one who uses it for an advantage, the scoring pylon, they can add something around it to absorb the impact of an accident ever does happen that sends a driver airborne into it, kinda like a safer barrier, but what is great news is that NASCAR comes back to the oval!!! NASCAR has really needed that, and I hope it stays for good!!
Good vid one of the best on UA-cam
I love how you put Clint Bowyer in for the stuck-capable banks at Daytona and Talladega. It was something that only could happen to him.
*_We all know it was a clear “Clint Bowyer moment”_*
Yeahhh another weird track area video!
Love how you mentioned indycar a lot.
We shouldn't have been so surprised when Chastain hail meloned at Martinsville after his Indy move lol
only fix for the pylon at Indy that I can think of would be moving the pylon to behind the pit boxes
On the Chicago one, street courses usually have sections like that, Monaco, Azerbaijan, etc.
I do t know how, but your really good with viewer retention, keep this up!
Thank you thank you. Anything specific about the video that makes you say so?
@@RawGator Mainly how well everything flows into each other
The Chicago road course was crazy
Love Chastain for going full Summoning Salt and taking a shortcut lol
I've watched this 12 times lol
4:43 you mean Dale Jr found it lol
the chigago race was my first full nascar race for 2 yeard
WWTR has the same kind of pit road that Phoenix and Atlanta does
NEW RAW GATOR VIDEO🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶🥶
HE IS BACKK
When you're talking about the drivers going below the yellow line for grip. They would have been making up time as they are driving a shorter distance around the counter so they would be faster due to travelling less distance. For instance, if you watch a track running event they stagger people running because they all have different lengths to run. Also when it comes to cars and time like in F1 or other racing the shorter and taking the inside of the corner is always faster as you've travelled less distance
What I do not get is why Iowa Speedway had a two lane strip of asphalt along the track side of the outside pit wall/inside track wall on the front stretch. It even has painted dashed markings on it as if the strip of asphalt could be used for auto racing purposes. I am not taking about the smaller oval also located on the front stretch of Iowa Speedway btw.
Hey rawgatar im big fan of you and nascar i like Ryan Blaney and i just want you to know that your a amazing UA-camr GREAT CONTACT And a amazing dude you are my favorite forever have a great day cant wait for the next one oh and one more thing what are ur suggestions of the future of ur channal 😀
3:55 car got stabbed in the stomach💀💀💀
When he uploads 2 times in a month: 😀😀😀
I don't know if this was ever removed, but I noticed that Phoenix has these two paths in the back of the track that don't lead anywhere. Of course this is probably to prevent drivers from going in that area, but why go that far to build a wall when it could've been a complete wall like any other speedway?
Yes part 2
I brought my girlfriend to the nashville race. We purchased tickets on stubhub for $100 a piece in the far left grandstand. We were delayed 2 and a half hours by a downed tree on the interstate near knoxville. We got there, waded through parking. Got up and in our seats. And before I knew it I was watching Blaney drifting through the grass and catapulting himself into that wall. Absolutely insane.
I was at the Nashville race as well. Just to the left of the flag stand after Turn 4. I saw Blaney's crash, and I never knew that was an unprotected wall.
@@johndeerefan725 I knew it wasn’t safer barrier but I wasn’t sure. I mentioned it and a dude turned around and told me that there aren’t anymore tracks that use concrete walls.
Iowa has that same narrow lane in front of pit road that Richmond has, and it's even wider there.
I can't believe it's been 2 years since that video. Man...
I actually wedged my car with no wheels on the ground at daytona the other day on Nascar Heat, was wondering if it was actually possible in real life or just a glitch. Now I know lol
I like these kind of videos
Let’s go every time I see a Rawgator vid on my notifications I click on it instantly
4:00 Iowa has 2 whole lanes over there
2 years ago!!!? Holy shit that went quickly
"If there are any racecar drivers watching this video," just say Ross Chastain
i found out about the richmond one on nascar heat 5 as well
The riun-off at Chcago doesn't even seem bad. I don't watch Nascar, but from what I see, it's quite good. F1 has way wirse ones like at turn 3 in Baku where they have to do a 180° spin which barely fits between the walls so that they get out withput reversing onto the track or do like a 9-point turn. The run-off in Mirabeau at Monaco is the same, although there the reversing is the only option as it is just so narrow.
@RawGator Marco Bonanomi hit the scoring pylon at Barcelona when he flipped in a Formula Renault 3.5 race in 2008
3:06 I believe nascar got this idea from Formula 1 since at tracks like Monaco with sudden braking zones. Drivers can just run off into that part. This part is known as an escape road or a Run-off area.
I love your videos
At Richmond when the grass cuts off on iracing I would hit that like a ramp and fly 😂😂
1:15 FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS IT
I don't think Indy oval should have safer barriers in the straights or short chutes. It would really affect the racing for indy cars.
the baku city circuit for f1 has a lot of small run off areas also
The only time i have Seen such a smal runoff was Wreckfest xD
Was that music from super mario galaxy I just heard somewhere in this video? It sort of sounds like it! 2:55 - 3:59
The Indy scoring pylon is back in danger
It’s Denny Time 🔥 💪🏼 😎
0:08 WAIT HOLD THE FUCK UP IS THAT 3 TIME BATHURST CHAMPION SHANE VAN GISBURGEN FROM THE REPCO V8 SUPERCARS CHAMPIONSHIP?!
PJ1 has ruined that track for Indycar due to the difference in tire compounds. Actually makes it more slippery!
Bro u are the best NASCAR youtuber
Bro thank you
2:05 im here after nascar announced there racing at the normal Indy configuration in 2024
Hey Rawgator what’s the name of the outro music from the perfectly cut screams video?🙂
It looks like the pylon has rounded bases so a car actually rides up instead of just wrapping around it.
Every street course in indycar they gave thise fie a reason, Toronto has a way to escape from a cautious. If you watch indycar races, then it can help for nascar
Please never stop making videos
So about that chicago run off, it is the same like f1's azerbaijan/baku turn 2 and 3 run offs, simply you are forced to wait until everybody passes and then try to spin around or reverse back on track and then continue.btw i dont watch nascar or indy so i dont kbow if reversing would be possible since the field might be so spread out that there might not be safe time to do so or if you have like vsc or slow zones
Technically Atlanta is slower than it used to be, they had to extend pit lane entry because of pack racing.
I was at the Nashville race!🤠
Same here. That was a hard hit for Blaney, and I didn't see that coming either.
Fun fact ross Chastain was not the only one to do the access wrong
No way you putted a NASCAR Heat Mobile footage there💀
Vettel seeing this vid after baku 2022🫢
2:38 two cars looked to have used it by the looks of things
