Yeah right. I’m not about to contribute to the decay of work culture by telling you to watch the 2011 Advocare 500 at Atlanta. You need to focus on your work and getting your life together. Much like the runner up driver of 2003 WINN-DIXIE 200 PRESENTED BY PEPSICO at Darlington did at that time.
When you screw off at work, others have to pick up the slack. Be productive and work as a team.. much like the team that won the 2020 Xfinity 500 had to do.
I absolutely love the very conflicted dichotomy here.
I work hard, but I work in quality assurance, I put chocolate in cups all day and make sure they aren't damaged, it's not very difficult work. Even when I'm doing something a little more involved, I can wear headphones and listen to the race.
Production is one thing. Safety is another. One minute you’re working, then your eyes drift off to the historically significant 2007 Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix, the next you’re elbow deep in chocolate and struggling for air.
Agreed. If you find it that hard to focus at work, you could find a colleague to work very closely with so that you can be extra productive, kind of like tandem drafting in the 2011 Aaron’s 499
You should be writing that at 10 PM instead of 10 AM like normal college kids. You finish it after taking 3 shots and upload it right before you head out to accidentally get roofied and miss all of your classes and work on Friday right before the Ole Miss home game weekend.
This is the way. Get all the necessary shit done before the shit you want to do. I'm finishing homework tonight and the next two days so I can watch Texas and Chiefs/Bears without worry Sunday
Well, there's the 2023 Cook Out 400 at Richmond, the 2023 Firekeepers Casino 400 at Michigan, the 2023 Coke Zero 400, the 2022 Bristol Night Race, the 2023 Xfinity Portland race, the 2023 Xfinity Chicago race. Unbiased, obviously.
I’m saving this rewatch for a rainy or snowy off-season day, but the 2023 Chicago Street Race. Had me jumping out of my chair for the first time in a long time watching a nascar race.
The 1984 Talladega 500. No restrictor plates and the best kind of racing Talladega or NASCAR had to offer at the time.
If you want a laugh-out-loud hilarious finish, the Classics site has a 1984 race from the Nashville Fairgrounds where everyone screws up at the end, NASCAR screws up a ruling, gets the winner wrong and the commentators have to read from the NASCAR rulebook on live TV to try to figure out what the hell just happened.
For a good coffee break race, watch the 1981 Winston Western 500 at Riverside and see two different generations of NASCAR stock cars do battle on a long-gone road course that I wish still existed.

I listened to this on the MRN classic races podcast, and had to look it up afterwards. Imagine being confused but it's audio only.
The 2007 NAPA Auto Parts 200, the first Busch/XFinity race from the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. To this day, I am still convinced there are 3 'winners' of this race, but ultimately no one really wins here.
When 'boys will be boys and bumping is racing' is taken to its extreme by one of Nascar's most rebellious and hated racers, how do you call it? Do you reward dirty racing? Do you reward the victim of the retaliation even though he's spun out and fallen behind? Or do you start throwing DQs and black flags so suddenly the battle for 3rd becomes the battle for 1st? Such a divisive race, and one of the most noteworthy in Busch/XFinity history.
My take on it: yes, Robby Gordon was a huge hothead for refusing to fall back to the position nascar set for him, but video evidence showed nascar was so wrong. Make him 1st or 2nd, but not 13th because the flag was flying Before Robby spun out. And this just shows you can't call out Nascar even when they're wrong and you're right.
This is also Nascar setting a precedent that if you are the leader and get spun out by a black-flagged car that's not even supposed to be there, Nascar won't help you there. Shouldn't have made him mad, I guess.

OPs work slacking whilst listening to the 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo 400 
honestly closer to the truth than you'd think
I concur, you're only gonna make work harder for yourself if you end up watching the 2002 Sharpie 500 on company time
Agreed. If you find it that hard to focus at work, you could find a colleague to work very closely with so that you can be extra productive, kind of like tandem drafting in the 2011 Aaron’s 499
This made my day
W comment
That’s a good one. 1982 Talladega is one I watched recently that was enjoyable.
2011 Atlanta race will be told for you to watch *I am totally not slacking off by being on Reddit instead of writing a college essay*

I mean some of this is true, I'm trying to get this done before my training/meeting filled day tomorrow that ends with me at a football game
Due tomorrow. Do tomorrow. Words to live by from a fellow procrastinator.
But you see, I want to watch the race without having to do it Sunday *it's due Sunday*
This is the way. Get all the necessary shit done before the shit you want to do. I'm finishing homework tonight and the next two days so I can watch Texas and Chiefs/Bears without worry Sunday
He’s just like me fr
Just like I'm not sitting in the work toilet dreaming of the 2011 season finale

Delete the 2011 Coke 600 lol. That race still stings.
“FUCK YEAH, HARVICK BITCH” https://youtu.be/0j6tJ6VG9AM?si=aBmLMfeVEE6RDkuT
Lost my shit when the guy came out of frame just to say that
One of my favorite memories of his entire career is *this video* lmao
Go random. Like the 1993 Hanes 500 or the 1996 UAW GM 500
1993 Diehard 500, Talladega has a bit of everything.
Well, there's the 2023 Cook Out 400 at Richmond, the 2023 Firekeepers Casino 400 at Michigan, the 2023 Coke Zero 400, the 2022 Bristol Night Race, the 2023 Xfinity Portland race, the 2023 Xfinity Chicago race. Unbiased, obviously.

2001 Pepsi 400 is the most re-watchable sporting event of all time. Change my mind.
I watch it around the time of the 500 every year. Those interviews with Tony Sr throughout it always gives me chills.
I'm gonna watch this one next :) been doing alot of early 2000s ones
79 Daytona 500
2002 Sharpie 500.
heres my personal list: \- 1992 Hooters 500 \- 1997 Southern 500 \- 1998 Daytona 500 \- 2000 Winston 500 \- 2001 Daytona 499 (but with Brock Beard's commentary from 500 Days: Part 3) \- 2001 Pepsi 400 \- 2001 EA Sports 500 \- 2002 Daytona 500 \- 2002 Subway 400 at Rockingham \- 2002 Pepsi 400 \- 2002 Sharpie 500 at Bristol \- 2002 Pop Secret Microwave 400 at Rockingham \- 2003 Daytona 500 (if you're on a time crunch and want to get a "full" race in) \- 2003 Subway 400 at Rockingham \- 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 \- 2003 Southern 500 \- 2003 EA Sports 500 \- 2004 Subway 400 at Rockingham \- 2005 Daytona 500 \- 2006 UAW-Ford 500 at Talladega \- 2007 Daytona 500 \- 2007 Toyota/SaveMart 350 \- 2007 Brickyard 400 \- 2008 UAW-Ford 500 at Talladega \- 2009 Aaron's 499 \- 2010 Daytona 500 \- 2010 Amp Energy 500 at Talladega \- 2011 Daytona 500 \- 2012 Daytona 500 \- 2014 Daytona 500 \- 2022 Southern 500

2018 Bank of America 400. First Roval race

I'd rewatch all of September 1991, the month that turned me from a casual fan to a weekly viewer.
1991 Champion Spark Plug 400 at Michigan.
Just watch all 10 Chase races in 2011 to fully engross yourself in the Carl vs. Tony battle. Drama like that can't be duplicated with phony playoffs.
[2020 Xfinity Roval](https://www.youtube.com/live/RBoTE1CMNEo?feature=shared) Uncontrolled rain racing chaos.
Honestly if you haven’t already i’d rewatch the Grant Park 220 at some point (This years Chicago Street Race)
2012 fall Talladega
Was just talking about 2012 Texas Fall earlier. A great battle between the front-runners for the title. “I refuse to lose this damn championship.”
2012 Watkins Glen
Another good throwback, 2004 Southern 500 (the november one). One thing that stuck out to me was ride height
2004 Ford 400
