mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Woof. Attendance projections must be looking shitty. I didn't answer the call because I didn't recognize the number, someone from the Pens' ticketing office left me a message today asking me about my ticket plans for this season. I haven't been a STH in six years. They must be calling up everyone w...

5AF NASCAR thread (all levels including ARCA, ASA, etc)

Imagine today's cars with the 1985 rule restricting yellow-flag stops to 2 tires only, with a 2-lap penalty for taking 3 or 4. (Just getting around to the YT video of the 1985 Valleydale 500 at Bristol. Terry Labonte team had changed rights, then noticed they had a left side tire down. TV asked the ...

No launch date yet (Launch calendar says November 2021) but they are nearing the final stacking for Artemis 1. NASA highlighted that all hardware necessary was at Kennedy.

No more shuttle missions to rescue/repair Hubble... Guess they are fortunate the backup system worked.

Motorsports (non-NASCAR)

I watched the end of the Indycar race on Sunday that NBCSN had on before NASCAR coverage from Nashville. Newgarden had the race. Then late yellow, and failure on the restart with 2 to go. Not even sure if he finished on the lead lap.

Wow. I didn't realize that. How did they compress it all in? Play back to back nights?
It wasn't always four rounds best of 7 either. Early 80s still had a best of 5 in the first round.

just checked. I think all the clinching dates are:

91 - May 25
92 - June 1
09 - June 12
16 - June 12
17 - June 11
And to think, in 1992, that was the first time the NHL had played in June.

The 2004 season really hid the departure of Norris. But the dustup they talked about that led to him being gone certainly had ripple effects. NBSCN has been airing episodes of the Download cut into an hour-long block, which is usually where I end up seeing them. Despite the audio being downloaded in...

The Saturday race had three current drivers in the booth. Harvick, Logano and a 3rd. Guess the pros need a day off now and again, but it was awful at times.

The 600 has had a bunch of laughers in recent years. Truex leading > 380 laps in one of them.
