I don't know how much the broadcast showed him, but I was there today. I watched Eli like a hawk in qualifying, heats, main. The track looked amazing all the way through qualifying #2, but it was progressively drying out. Eli didn't look as fast in the heat as in qualifying but the track wasn't absolutely gone yet. But the sun came out for an hour plus and after the 250 main in particular you could see the track was so shiny and baked—it was 100% incompatible with a scoop tire. Eli probably didn't want to change it after how...

Tyler?

The age stuff is simply stupid. I don’t know why another thread is needed on this but the only thing possible is an injury or an ailment. The bike didn’t magically break. He didn’t forget how to ride. He’s not mad over money. He’s not missing his Porsche. He’s not upset about his brother. Stop it lmao.

Tumbles happen every week while training that we will never hear about.

I literally spit out my coffee reading "...the best kind of correct." Thanks for that, I can't wait to use that at work next week.

This is true...the most likely scenario is usually true and that would be something physically wrong. For example, I suppose you could get away with saying a 'bad back' acting up is not an injury? Something along those lines? Hate to think he is flat out lying, but, to me, he was smiling and laughing way too much in the press day interviews. Him saying nothing was wrong and that he was ready to go for it didn't happen at all tonight. He had Hunter right in front of him for a while and then looked like he gave up...

Your thread title is becoming more ironic by the moment.

wtf are you even saying

They edited the article to make it factual instead of a sensational lie. This is an edit they never would have had to make if they had done 30 seconds of investigation instead of blasting out the headline ASAP. Usually they don't even bother with the clarification but in this case it was too blatant to ignore. They choose to do it this way because too many people will engage with content that validates them with no concern for whether it's true or not. Some people..... not naming names...... are literally addicted to this kind of content and need to...

Well, according to dozens of people last week....The 96 should have been parked once he was 7% slower than field or whatever lol. Imagine the crocodile tears from the Honda faithful. This is why you dont make huge changes to the sport based on the "feelings" of some people. All the ideas and solutions that were discussed last week dilute the racing. Nascar has fallen victim to this mentality...they constantly fiddle with the rules to manipulate the racing. Just run the fucking race.

Prado turned down? How wide do you expect him to go?!

This is so cringe
