The resemblance between #20 and Jacob really is crazy 😂

How about we make it up to you and run it back?? 🤲

As someone who was competing IN the Saturday race, I never thought I’d be *technically* in one of Lucas’ videos 😂

I do hope you had a good experience!

[tom-ssmn]

I cant think of better people to blend in seemlessly with the nascar crowd

Lucas going to a NASCAR race is not what I had on my 2024 bingo card...but I'm here for it lmaoooo.

Lmao the ozempic fridge tour literally killed me. I'm dead.

I know you said not to explain it BUT the reason the cars start in a line is because they've already raced for their line positions ! Basically, all of them have a turn on the track long before the race, and each goes individually. The one who gets the fastest time alone gets 1st spot on the line, which is called their "pole position". So that's how they determine that !

As a queer man who is also a huge motorsports nerd, did you two seriously go to an Xfinity series race and completely ignore the fact that FRANKIE MUNIZ FROM MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE WAS RACING IN THE #35 CAR?!?!

[bunniblossom]

You got the true American nascar experience! Beer, god, music, car crashes, toxic smoke inhalation, crappy overpriced fried food, uncomfortable sleeping situations and pickleball. 🇺🇸

Calling Bubba the McDonalds man had me wheezing, this is the crossover I never knew I needed

Hey Lucas,

I appreciate you going outside your comfort zone and going all-in on a race weekend experience.

NASCAR actually has a pretty rich history. Its roots can be traced back to the prohibition era when alcohol was outlawed in the United States. Bootlegging operations had drivers who would take stock cars and supe them up to outrun police while transporting illegal booze. When the alcohol ban was lifted, these drivers started racing each other to see who was the fastest. The sport grew into what it is now from there.

As for the Saturday race, that was an Xfinity race. It's basically one of NASCAR's lower teir series where newer drivers prove their worth in the hopes of running in the main series, The Cup Series.

I'm sure you've encountered some people who'd get all butthurt when you talk about NASCAR only driving in circles, but you're not wrong. That being said, there is some nuance and strategy to the whole thing if you know where to look. For example, entering a turn at the bottom means your car is taking the shorted route around the track, but the tighter you turn, the more you have to slow down and the more you can wear down your tires. Meanwhile, if you run towards the top of corners, you have to travel a greater distance that drivers on the low end, BUT you can also carry more of your speed through the corner. Drivers are constantly having to make decisions like this, sometimes on the fly, as they barrel around at speeds approaching 200mph with dozens of cars surrounding them. This is the appeal of NASCAR, seeing how a teams' strategies evolve over the course of a race.

The party atmosphere of some of the events are also a fun time. Highly recommend going to other races at tracks that give fans more to see and do, like Dover, Charlotte, or Daytona.

Also, did you know Pitbull and Michael Jordan actually own NASCAR teams? Pitbull is a co-owner of Trackhouse Racing and Michael Jordan is a co-owner if 23XI Racing!

Yall are kings for promoting ear pro. Once you loose your hearing, you can’t ever get it back!

I do know what I ❤️ butt drugs is!!! Butt Drugs was a pharmacy in Indiana. It's closed now but Rhett & Link made a commercial for them back in the day.

just when i was searching the pits of youtube for entertainment, thank you lucas 🙏

[kactus]

Lucas and Jacob doing side quests is my favourite thing

[lastingjoy]

"don't even bother trying to explain because no matter what the explanation is I still don't get it" stealing this 💀

[bonjovifreak]

as a diehard NASCAR fan - dont do it LOL - this is the best thing ive ever watched in my life. Much Love

[AmberC]

I love the direction your channel has gone in 😂 so random but I love it.

[Nexadvenio]

I've gotta be honest, as a nascar fan, this was one of the funniest race reviews I've ever seen. I also cant tell if your trying to be funny in the moments that i'm laughing hardest at, like the fact you keep calling a "pit stop" a "tire change" or that you cant be bothered to find out how qualifying works.
Like, i've looked through your uploads and to be honest I'm far from your target demographic, but the nascar part put this in my feed and I'm so happy for it. I doubt i'll cross paths with another video of yours but thanks so much for making this one.

P.S. Your brother there actually does look exactly like christopher bell (the #20 driver on the side of the trailer)
