I take it you're not counting the ones at a casino

lol yeah, those don't count.
Scott wasn't the only one out in the cold. Jimmy Johnson looked really bad Sunday and that's with a new state of the art simulator. Their weren't to many late model drivers up front last night either. Ashton Winger probably looks the best and understandably so. He has a ton of time on IRacing. Same with Stroupe, Mike McKinney and a few other young guys.

Don't take my post seriously. It was oozing ALOT of sarcasm.

Actual Late model racing stars do tend to be a bit older than sprint car drivers as you saw in people the A-main fields on FS1.

Not a knock because those LM drivers are really wily veterans on their own real dirt turf. But this is a whole different deal and maybe some grandkids need to get some of those LM veterans that are interested up to speed.

Is it realistic, sort of... but you have to just open up your viewpoint and not get stuck on some of the non-realistic portions of the show. Its like going to the movies and watching racing scenes, they usually suck.

I will watch again...

You know times are getting tuff... When you're entertainment is watching people play video games... Hmmmm...

Its all the rage with the kids willbill, my son (30) streams his gaming and in lieu of television he spends the majority of his free time watching others game on an app called Twitch.
Its why we cant get them to goto the race tracks. This mess we are in will cement thier behaviour even more.

Honestly if you haven’t played you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s the closest most of us will get to racing a super late, a 410, cup car, trophy truck, rally cross, or an Indy car. Watching it is ok but I feel watching races on tv are just ok as well.

For anyone looking to cure the cabin fever, I’m a mod in Jesse Enterkins(Hunt The Front) twitch/YT channels and he races with his viewers 3-4 times a week. We also have a discord we sit around in and talk about and watch racing in. Next week he’s racing for 4K on iracing... pretty cool.

[WisWildManFan]

That field next week is stacked.

If you can’t at least somewhat enjoy watching these shows, I feel sorry for you.

My son is 27 and deep into iRacing. Hell, I bought him brake pedals (???) as a Christmas gift. But ... he’s been my dirt racing sidekick (real in person dirt late model racing), since he was three-years old, and still is. The minute we’re able to go back to the real thing, I’ll be there. And he will too. Our kids loving this iRacing stuff, doesn’t mean they stopped loving the real thing.
