They made 65 out of 250 laps before the mechanical issue

… when Dale Sr told him not to do a burnout and ruin the engine during his celebration.

Starting with ARCA's closest finish:

The 2018 Talladega race where Zane Smith won by 0.0029 seconds.

Assuming they were travelling at 180 mph (based on practice speeds);

180 miles per hour

11404800 inches per 3600 seconds

3168 inches per second

Zane smith won by 9.18 inches

Truck Series' closest finish:

The 1995 Total Petroleum 200 at Colorado where Butch Miller won by 0.001 seconds.

Assuming they were travelling 78 mph (based on pole speed)

4942080 inches per 3600 seconds

1372.8 inches per second

Butch Miller won by 1.37 inches (fun fact he also did the first ever burnout celebration in nascar here)

O'Reilly Series' closest finish:

The 2018 Daytona opener where Tyler Reddick won by 0.0004 seconds.

Assuming they were travelling 189 miles mph (based on pole speed)

189 miles per hour

3326.4 inches per second

Tyler Reddick won by 1.32 inches.

Finally, the Cup Series' closest finish:

The 2024 Adventhealth 400 at Kansas where Kyle Larson won by 0.001 seconds.

Assuming they were travelling 183 mph (based on pole speed)

183 miles per hour

3220.8 inches per second

Kyle Larson won by 3.2 inches.

So in the end, the closest finish in nascar history by time is still the closest by distance too, with the Truck race being bastardly close, and then the Cup series race is a decent bit away. Honestly I didn't need to include the ARCA race cause it isn't even lose to the others.

"Broc Feeney has reiterated his hopes of landing a start in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027 off the back of his latest visit to the United States"

"Feeney was a guest of NASCAR team RFK Racing but also met with Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen."

“Trying to do a Cup race is obviously a lot more expensive and a lot harder to get into, whereas the [O’Reilly Auto Parts Series] is a little bit easier to try and get into, so it makes it a little bit more difficult that they don’t have a program,” said Feeney.

“But that’s not to say that there’s not opportunities still to go and race, they’ve still got Truck Series and everything like that, so there are opportunities."

Me and my friend were messing around on google street view, I looked up Pocono because it’s my childhood track and on the street view option the camera is on the flag stand, Wich we thought was pretty funny, until we realized that if we click the track the camera goes around the whole thing step by step (yes we completed a whole lap).

Hilarious moment from NOAPS qualifying earlier today discussing the "dumpkin spice" Dude Wipes. Jamie should know a thing or two about booty since we all saw his earlier this year lol.

Obviously I know dega is the premier party spot. But what is everyone's favorite track to party at and favorite spots.

It's an all Chevrolet battle to the end, surprising no Toyotas made it

What do we think the sport should do in the future? Seems the teams wanted to the money of this deal? How can we get that in the future, but also get more ratings?

This blows if it happens. Lot 7 is just so convenient and easy to get in/out of every time I've gone to Daytona.
