The Clash, Freedom 250, Random News and Notes | Garage Talk

byD.J. Fluck & Erik Richardson

It looked bad for a while, but NASCAR finally got back on track at Bowman Gray Stadium and had ”The Clash” and then it looked like Wednesday Night Dash at North Wilkesboro. We discuss. Also congratulations to Ryan Preece on his win and awesome post race victory speech.

Next, we unveil Andy Amendola's new book in the Red Racer Book series, ”The ABCs of NASCAR Racing”. Officially licensed by NASCAR and available for preorder at https://www.redracerbooks.com and Amazon. Get your copy today and add to the fine collection of the Red Racer Books series.

We move on to IndyCar and yeah, we're going to address the Freedom 250, but given everyone and their mother has given a political opinion on it this week and the fact we're idiots who you shouldn't get political commentary from, we look at it from an event standpoint. While something like this could be a cool event, we're not hopeful that this is going to work out and we explain the many reasons why.

Finally, we discuss some upcoming iRacing events including the return of Bottom Split Racing Series on Monday and the iRacing Indy Racing World Series on February 24th.
