Hello and welcome to the 2nd race of the 36 race long 2018 Monster Energy Nascar Cup Series.

 

a0ef617ff4870cf3dd5aba792d86dcbc--ticks-

 

It's actually called the FOLDS OF HONOR QUICKTIP 500 but that's unintelligible as was the previous race. Speaking of the previous race; it's been a week since the last first race of the season and the hangover from that race is just beginning to subside. It was quite the bizarre sh**show of a 2018 Daytona 500 littered with absurd crashes that took out most of the real contenders, leading to a last lap GWC mayhem. It was Aric Almirola driving Danica's car who found himself in the lead of a dream debut for the Newman Haas team going into turn 3. But a halfassed block on the #3 of Austin Dillon sent ashamed Aric into the barriers and that damn Dillon boy got a halfdeserved incredulous Daytona 500 victory.

Loathsome

But I am willing to forgive and forget if I see more of this.

 

The magickal #3 just won at Daytona; bla bla, that Earnhardt legacy fallacy was hollow to me. Apparently Aric was ok with everything so let's move on shall we. Overall it was a particularly strange and overly aggressive start to the new season and as stated in the previous season, things should be at least 98% back to normal. That last 2% will depend if Denny Hamlin took his adderrall or not.

So cool.

 

So with that it's time for Nascar's annual visit to the Henry County Georgia's Atlanta Motor Speedway. There seems to be a place close to the track called Locust Grove. Now that is a small town name right there.

Actual cool.

The energy will change significantly this Sunday from the past 2 days. The weird mental unclarity will fade into a comfy Cancerian home vibe. It's a Pisces party atm so I recommend letting things go, try to be ok with the unanswered questions and allow things to adjust by themselves. Trust that all is good y'all. It looks like it'll be a soft and deeply emotional, even a bit traditional Sunday so try to take the edge of by doing the little things you like and make you feel at home.  There's a tense square between Mars and Venus tonight so try not to be harsh and edgy with the loved ones. The Moon in Cancer is calling out to take a well earned time out. Speaking of Cancer, who's our fav Nascar crab?

We don't have Charlize Theron today so I just googled someone from Atlanta:

Have a great Sunday everyone and enjoy the race. As one famous Georgia born dude said:

In the passed like 2 seasons, I even forget she was in this series. Always liked her; shame she didn't find that success in turnleftcar.

Start time for Sunday’s Monster Energy Series race moved up at Atlanta

 

NASCAR and track officials have moved up the start time for Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway because of the threat of inclement weather.

 

The Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 was originally set for a green flag at 2:16 p.m. ET (FOX, PRN, SiriusXM). That start time — and all pre-race ceremonies — have been rescheduled for one hour, 10 minutes earlier.

Officials reached that decision Saturday morning, faced with an 80 percent chance of precipitation in the race-day forecast at the 1.54-mile track, according to the National Weather Service.

Driver introductions are now scheduled for 12:15 p.m. ET. The revised green flag time is 1:06 p.m. ET.

I like Georgia even though I've only travelled through Atlanta airport twice and seen the scenery from an Amtrak train twice.

I think we can. There is untapped fun hidden in Nascar on here.

Of course.

So race starts early. This is a real treat for my Transylvanian soul. Got my Bacardi Oakheart ready and woke up my great friend and Nascar obsessed flat mate.

I even simmed it back then. Just couldn't get into watching. Under normal circumstances there is so much other stuff to watch.
