So no matter what you'll never get a feel for golf through a game, where as with shit like this it gives you a generally good idea of what it's really like. Not the same obviously, but not that far off either.

Funny, could have sworn it was the french flag.

[@speedydb55]

NASCAR used to have the Lapped cars start on the inside row on restarts in order to give them a chance to get back on the Lead Lap. It was about mid-2000s when they did away with this and replaced it with the Lucky Dog rule, where the first car a Lap Down when a caution comes out gets a wave-around and can restart at the tail end of the lead lap. That's the context behind old-school restart procedures. Enjoyable video as always, Jimmer!

[@Antraxo]

Boogity, boogity, boogity - let's go racing, Drivers! You'll hear it again this coming wednesday, Jimmy!

[@brendancarter3453]

Nascar can’t promise too much variety and unique things in terms of track layouts designs but one thing you ALWAYS get in nascar is absolute non stop wheel to wheel exciting racing.. which is where jimmy seems to strive! That last charge after the second to last caution was amazing driving Jimmer!

[@DRIce8490]

13:25 that 3 wide pass was actually brilliant.

[@forzabrendan739]

Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us Jimmer! I just uploaded 2 videos this week because of your incredible love and passion for racing, and it inspired me to finally try and do the same after a couple of years of not feeling sure if I could do a commentary video. 😄🙌

What a fab video you can see in the video that jimmy is enjoying himself once more. This is the Jimmy I know,

[@Real28]

What oval racing lacks in the challenges of shifting and direction changes, it makes up for in INSANE anxiety when you're 2 wide at Indy heading into 1 or into 3. Or 3 wide on super speedways. It's just hold and pray. Dude that pass 3 wide through the middle with the save was BIG BALLS.

[@YayDanMan]

Not much of an oval racer but there is a skill in driving close at high speed with cars that don’t have lots of grip, so good job Jimmer, I’m down to watch more highlights packages like this in future!

[@SodawarsGaming]

[@jordanrasor6727]

I had a wonderful time watching this in the live stream. The way NASCAR races are shown overhead on televison really dont do it the justice like this did. Jimmy should've won the whole show. He had a really fast car and was putting distance on everyone when he was leading. the old rules where they will throw the checkered flag under caution gave a lackluster ending to a great race. Cant wait for the next one.

Well, that was.... interesting. Nice to see close left turn racing at its very best. I'm guessing by the liveries on the other cars that these aren't exactly authentic - I'm pretty sure I never saw a Peter Jackson car anywhere near a Nascar track. Just a pity that no one saw fit to paint up a Chevy in John Cleland Vauxhall team colours. My favourite moments were the classic "Fred the Needle" overtakes, and the yellow flag cronch.

My first few NASCAR races had me in a sweat, now I am pretty addicted to the adrenaline I get from them.
