Idk, I love the unlimited restarts. Not only was it a blast, but it means the ending is never set in stone. I def agree that nascar running so many caution laps was really weird though. My best guess is that they were trying to make the people who were about to run out of fuel do so during caution to avoid yet another caution.
Also shout out to my boy Hemric for getting his third ninth place! It was so fun to watch him creep up from 18th during the restarts ^^
The Logano hornyposters on tumblr _definitely_ knew he won. There's like. Three of them? (given how active a nascar fandom there is on tumblr, that's like. A quarter of us)
Shoutout to the headphone users with that shout, I was watching it on my tv and I still jumped 😂
I get two pride months! This month is disability pride month :D (well, I kinda get three with autism acceptance month, but I also have to deal with Autism Moms and "ABA is great! My kid doesn't cry when I force rough clothes on them [(which physically hurts them)] and they say 'I love you' and let me hug them!" -- a recent study showed it's all of 15% effective and within 4 weeks over 50% of autistics put through it qualify for a PTSD diagnosis. But anyways. This is gay racing not autistic ranting)
I had such a fun time listening to this, and am sad it's over, although my wrist is certainly glad (I color while listening to turn my brain off). I hope y'all have a lovely week!
EDIT: you also had 5 attempts to finish your picks. A+ XD

The unlimited overtime rule reminds me of the rule(s) the NHL has around shootouts to end ice hockey games. By and large, the team that controlled play throughout regulation time will win in the shootout, but every so often an opposing goalie can steal a W for their side, despite their team getting outplayed otherwise.
The Logano win yesterday feels awfully similar to a goalie willing their team to a W by doing just enough to get to the shootout and then have some bounces go their way to turn the tide as a part of the game within a game. Zack may not like me saying this, but I was pulling for Hamlin to get the win yesterday after Bell crashed out. He'd had a great run and if not for the silliness of 5 Overtimes, probably wins it with the best car still on the track.
As much fun as NASCAR may see 5 OTs as with the 'You never gonna know what'll happen!!1!', as a new fan (thanks to y'all), having to switch from a TV broadcast to an online stream of the race because NBC decided to cut the feed partway through the OTs to show USA Olympic trials makes me wonder how much credibility the brand has if track and field gets broadcasting priority. Sure, it's maybe unfair to characterize it like that given the rain delay likely eating up the majority of the buffer time in the TV schedule, but I feel that my point about broadcasting priority still holds.
Appreciate y'all walking me through this whole car turn left deal. I assume the podcast name is back to The Racing Podcast now that June's over. Much love and stay safe through these crazy times we're goin' through

The switch is because it's the _US Olympic trials_ -- of course it'd take precedence over a nascar race!
It also has to do with how the tv slots work. I don't fully understand it, but they lose money when they overtake another broadcast. And for something like Law & Order -- a rerun of course (which is the channel it switched to) -- that's like. Nothing. Whereas something as big as olympic trials is not only live, but also a country-wide thing that the country comes together for.
It makes sense if you ask me (clearly).
And welcome to nascar!! If you haven't already, nascar's website has a pretty robust nascar 101 section. There's also a lot of people who know a lot (if you go to tumblr and ignore the thirst-posting, there's a handful of people on there who know their stuff and are happy to answer questions. If you're on there you may want to blacklist Dale Jr though. There's someone who posts many times a day about wanting him)
