Even year Logano is a thing. Joey Logano squeaks into the NASCAR Cup Series final 8 drivers after a disqualification and then wins at Las Vegas. He’ll be in the Championship 4 again, every even year since 2014. It’s an incredible statistic. We talk about that, new Simagic products, and much more on this week’s F-R Racing’s Garage Talk.
D.J.’s All In on Even Year Logano, Stadium Districts, Podium at Petit Le Mans, and New Simagic Products!
Joey Logano is the luckiest man in NASCAR. One minute he’s out of the playoffs, the next he’s back in due to a disqualification. The following week he punches his ticket to The Championship 4 in Phoenix. D.J. took a +1200 odds from his sports betting app and has gone all in on Logano winning the championship.
As we discuss the rumors of NASCAR renovating Homestead Miami Speedway with the possibility of shifting the championship race back there, we look at the costs of renovation, why building race tracks is a bad investment, and whether a “stadium district” (building residential, shopping, restaurants, etc.) would work for a racetrack. Would the traffic and noise be too much?
Before we wrap the show we have to shout out to Hunter Hughes, Ian Miller, and Lucas Puntralli for the 2nd place finish in the LMP2 class during the iRacing Petit Le Mans. It’s the first endurance podium for F-R Racing and a great momentum swing going into the Daytona 24 next year!
Finally, Simagic released some new products to the market including the P500 load cell pedals which are meant to compete with the Logitech G Pro, and Fanatec introductory lines. With a great price point of $200 USD for a 2-pedal setup, how could you go wrong? Pick up your Simagic gear through our partners, Extreme Simracing via the link at the bottom of the episode.
