Road to 3000 Oval iRating starts again! | iRacing NASCAR at Chicagoland

[@JamieHamelSmith]

What a beautiful rendition of the star spangled banner 🤩😂

[@Sushi227]

Dave, I'm 99% sure cutting down onto the apron on the tri-oval is okay, BUT, it is up to you to safely rejoin the banked surface. Other cars have no obligation to let you back in, so there is a chance you can get boxed out of the banking.

[@ggsimmonds1]

Its legal for all ovals except the super speedways Daytona and Dega. For some ovals (Kansas is one of them iirc) you always want to be on the apron for the tri oval to shave some time off your lap

[@Jpilgrim30]

Nice! Dave is more patriotic than half of our own citizens.

[@kenohara3917]

Don’t give up your racing for a singing career Dave😂😂😂😂😂

[@SpeeedyTommy]

NASCAR is probably the most fun on iRacing, always a laugh with the Americans on the chat lol

[@gamingchannalwithMJ]

Same here, I do NASCAR awful lot on iracing but if I crash i crash you move on oh from uk hi

[@ggsimmonds1]

Gotta love the southern "what the hail" you are guaranteed to hear

[@gpjohn57]

So does this mean, that before any race in England I have to sing God Save The King?

[@RacingHermit]

Yes

[@T_H_U_G_G_Y]

Dave! First off I would like to say that I have been a viewer for a long time and I hail from Michigan! Secondly I would like to say that seeing you do oval is awesome, some races are just absolute caution fest’s, but here and there you get some fantastic prolonged racing! Also as a long time oval racer, not great by any means, but if you’re willing to accept a bit of unsolicited advice, these cars are VERY sensitive to dirty air. If you’re entering a corner directly behind another car, your car will feel very “tight”. Try to offset your car a little through the corner! Love ya man!

[@jimgatts8919]

I'd love to see some regular oval content on this channel Dave! A Road to 3K series or just random oval races even. Great race keep it up Dave.

[@TBolt1]

Bravo! Hilarious intro, Dave. 😂👍 Glad to see you doing some oval racing again.

[@MrSanJose420]

Great post . I love cup racing on iracing .

[@94nolo]

you're pretty darn good at this mate! fun to watch and great editing!

[@rpcorp]

Great Race Dave! And an amazing way to kick off the video!!🇺🇸

[@Heysey45]

oh man these NASCAR intros are great Dave. Keep it up mate.

[@felixarbable]

that brent was running a great line super close to the wall all race! shame he couldnt make it stick in the end

[@GI_Jew]

Sung like a true American! Well done sir!

[@backdrww2]

Hey Dave, great rendition of the Star Spangled Banner!! Now we have to get you here to attend a race!

[@JoshShare]

I’m still racing C class oval! Also from Chicago so this is a fun video to watch! Catch ya on track

[@DouglasThom]

Wow, I nearly swooned to the shiny dome crooner! Nice run! Back to DJ Yee-J for high line tips! :)

[@krusty783]

Great job Dave! I watched your Nascar Nordschliefe video on an airplane yesterday and wondered when you'd get back into ovals. Bristol or the twin ring motegi would be great content! I also think you could probably do well at the "tricky triangle" (Pocano).

[@ggsimmonds1]

comments as I watch: 1. That first caution was bad timing for you. You were the fastest the preceding lap I think and had a pretty good run 2. That Jordan livery is pretty 3. Love Dave being the Brit in chat saying he soiled himself. 4. Good race with the top 7 cars all being fairly level. I think the door banging after the second restart spread the field a bit and there wasn't enough difference in pace to run away or close the gaps so everything sort of stayed static.

[@kurkin23]

Thank you Dave for that beautiful rendition of the star spangled banner.

[@julienrobins4121]

WoW, I finally heard a worse singer than me. I laughed the through the whole song. Cheers to you ! I do enjoy watching you race and seeing the racing lines you take. As a spotter maybe I could see where you were gaining and giving up some time. All in all it was very enjoyable. Our national anthem should be sung by you at all NASCAR races and let's not forget " God Save the King " for the premier British races.

[@ethangracing]

Good run Dave! Green numbers are never bad. If you're looking for things to improve on, I would say you're just a bit late on braking and turning in, then a bit too early back to full throttle. Very good run though!

[@frankiev4253]

Super jazzed about this Dave! Hope to see you out there.

[@DontHateItsBased]

When I work from home I sit in my sim rig to utilize the widescreen. So hard not to switch the source and race at Atlanta during work lol Chicago has a weird shape. It’s an egg. High in 1-2, low middle best in 3-4

[@Jpilgrim30]

Chicagoland and Auto Club are two of my favorite tracks in oval racing.

[@collinclary5762]

The biggest thing with Oval is how hard you work your tires, once they overheat they never come back

[@AndyPerry1972]

I only watched the intro so far and it already got a thumbs up from me 😀 Right, lets watch the rest!

[@StevenYanni]

Land of the FREEEEEEE cracked me up 😂

[@trentthompson2085]

you’re a patriot now Dave🤣

[@ivanfojan8859]

After that intro I've got one thing to say Dave....don't give up the day job....😯😝

[@Grizzly50450]

I love it when you do NASCAR stuff, always fun

[@richardbrowning3263]

U have a great voice for the def people Dave

[@ggsimmonds1]

Some people have a face for radio, Dave has a singing voice for old school silent movies

[@ilzee_vk]

British anthem at Silverstone next? :D

[@lucasimonetti696]

Ovals are awesome! I discovered that too late!

[@oleboy4332]

Love seeing the oval content! Nice run

[@MattieSinclair]

Great to see you on an oval Dave

[@Dmac996]

It makes me so nervous when cars start blinking like that guy in the beginning lmao

[@Seppo165]

That is the one of the first intros I didn't skip... 😅

[@stephenwooliscroft4887]

Brought a tear to my eye...

[@mrfoobarf5670]

Best singing of national anthem since Mr Pallazzo.

[@underSTATEDexcellence]

I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.

[@OfficialJahn]

Would love to see you racing the Nascar Legends 87, be it in the Nascar Legends Series or WiNS. 😀

[@MrSanJose420]

Hopefully I will see you on the track this weekend

[@francoisfullum]

What a big laugh for the magic INTRO Dave. You nailed it! 😁😉😂😂

[@deathtrain67]

Love the content Dave, Iracing should get you to the sing the anthem for the Daytona 500 next year

[@gamingchannalwithMJ]

I am back on iracing waiting for 2025 season 1 cannot wait to start it again glad to back after 10 months off: you do not have to be that close to the wall unless your planning to do a Ross Christian + if your doing side drifting you have to do it just right otherwise you will hiting that American and he willl not be happy i should know i have done those two things my self i have learned the hard way in oval now i have been doing oval racing since NASCAR 06: total team control good game but 07 was better until 2018 i signed up for iracing. But my love for sim racing was 2003 with NASCAR Racing 3 no idea what i was playing but it was fun as a 9 year old british lad playing as bobby labonte and hello from a fellow birt

[@Mobilzerz]

Oo my hometrack 😁

[@haydenkasmen8158]

THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIRRRRRRR

[@timroden6617]

Get a bucket dave. you might be able to carry the tune. That song is tough for pros to sing.

[@davecamyt]

You do know it wasn't serious though. Just a joke 🤣

[@JakeSullivanART]

That's next years National anthem booked for next years super bowl!!!!!

[@AffyKoupps]

God Save the King - and by King i obviously mean Dave

[@OrionDauphin]

While your rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” may have induced brain damage it’s still not the worst performance I’ve ever had to endure. LOL

[@smartwaysbs]

Impressive soundcheck

[@JD_Fruge]

Spectacular singing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Good race once again !

[@Jonesy95A]

Hi Dave I'm sure you've been asked this many times but I couldn't seem to find an answer anywhere. Could you give some advice to how you've set up your streamdeck / button box to show flags and alongside spotter info? Seems like a great solution. Thanks for all the great content! Cheers from down under!

[@davecamyt]

It's a Precision Sim Engineering PSP not a stream deck. It's linked down in the description 😁

[@Jonesy95A]

​@@davecamytThanks a million mate looks great!

[@bartvanlaan2641]

So the next time you race at Zandvoort, I expect the Wilhelmus 😝

[@MrJarl66]

Best intro EVER :)

[@naekers]

Are we going to see an X factor or BGT appearance in the near future Dave? Can let those incredible dulcet tones go to waste. Let's face it, your KZbin and iracing career isn't quite going to plan 🙃, got to think of the future 😅

[@Hexadeci]

Dave I’m loving the national anthem respect 🍻 🇺🇸

[@garrettcarper3438]

On behalf of all my fellow floridamen. I herby dub you an honorary Merican!

[@R3mix97]

Great race!

[@gergobartus6692]

Dave!!!! Next week there is Formula 4 at Spa, can we expect a video?

[@davecamyt]

Quite possibly 😁

[@justinmuntean7689]

Who is the spotter for nascar? I know he uses crew chief, but assuming this is a different program?

[@davecamyt]

It's the JJ Spotter pack 😁

[@Coach15Advo]

Dave, what steering wheel are you using in this race? I want one!

[@davecamyt]

It's the Fanatec wheel rim with a Turn racing button plate on an Asetek QR. A bit of a Frankenstein 😁

[@oneofthehumans7465]

Love falsetto Dave

[@sethrobinson6804]

Dave, What's your spotter pack?

[@davecamyt]

It's the JJ Spotter pack 👍

[@JoshShare]

Is this the Jimmie Johnson spotter pack?

[@davecamyt]

It is 👍

[@JoshShare]

@ it’s been low on my list of things but it’s on there haha. Love the content!

[@1336Studios]

land of the freeeeeeeeeee *glass shatters*

[@gamingchannalwithMJ]

They re-phrase to land of the corporations now and how much were going scraw every American on taxes

[@cluelessgod97]

The land of the REEEEEEEEE! 😅

[@gbw28]

You did good!

[@coachschoen]

IMO, get on the gas earlier and make sure you're running all the way up to the wall on the exit of 2 and 4

[@coachschoen]

Also, I feel that you were missing the draft too often. You were underneath the cars in front and missing the tunnel.

[@SilverMainCS]

Hi dave , watching alot recently , what cars do you recommend when doing oval , I made the mistake of buying the arca car , just too hard for me i am c licence

[@GetwitGhost]

Ironically if you were to actually race NASCAR that’s where you’d start. So you made the right choice!!! Once you find a balance in ARCA then you move to truck then Xfinity then cup! Arca gets easier once you understand the cars. Xfinity and arca are similar feels. Cup and truck are different. Hope that helps!!

[@DontHateItsBased]

@@SilverMainCS you could try super modified asphalt, but that would be harder than ARCA. ARCA is 100% tire conservation since there are no cautions

[@krusty783]

Street stock races some larger ovals, usually Charlotte, which is a mini Daytona. The Pickup Cup uses the legacy nascar truck and usually runs at some good tracks. It’s not official (won’t hurt your ir) but usually has good participation. Beyond those series, I’d suggest the c-class Maconi trucks

[@elvish4432]

Special Preformer @ the Daytona 500 in 2025???

[@arride4590]

There is nothing more than american a Mustang racing in an oval track. 😅

[@gracekx]

i love this guy

[@user-kb7el4qb6v]

this is hard Stuff in the Beginning

[@gpjohn57]

Hey Dave. What is the name of your crew chief? And if you think Chicagoland is fun. Try Darlington.

[@D0nk3yzz]

I'm wondering as well!

[@davecamyt]

This is the JJ Spotter pack 😁

[@davecamyt]

👆

[@rookey8061]

Will you be trying out the new Tobii Eye Tracker 5 ?? Top racing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davecamyt]

No, they offered me it as a sponsored video but I declined. To many positional compromises have to be made to make it painless so wouldn't recommend it. Too conflicting 😁

[@rookey8061]

Thanks I asked you as I don't belive some other people on KZbin !! Looks to good to be true at how easy it is to get up plug and play ect thanks for the honest response as always 💙

[@davecamyt]

@@Harry.Bolsac not really something I should do in a sponsored video 🤣

[@chucknowakowski6676]

God save the Ears……….errrr King……

[@meawayfromhome]

Good stuff Dave, but driving 7 out 10 singing 0

[@bfountaine]

"if they're doing it, I'm doing it" Doesn't always work out in these cars. Dirty air and aero push is horrible in the Next Gen

[@aaroncolyer9202]

I want that wheel so bad but fanatec is out of stock…

[@rbrizelljr]

Someone needs a bucket

[@davecamyt]

🤣

[@backdrww2]

Hey Dave, just a friend from across the pond. I'm no expert, but i I noticed you are breaking going into turn. There is no need. You want to keep your momentum. Maybe a little brake close to apex to help rotate, if needed.

[@ggsimmonds1]

Alternative perspective, Dave was right to brake. Diving in without braking until you get to the apex is known as overdriving the corner and will burn your tires real quick. There are absolutely times where you want to do that, usually to do the classic Nascar slidejob, but as your normal line around the track it is not advised.

[@sprocket5526]

Seems to me that nascar is about surviving the race more then anything else.

[@TwRaces]

I’m on my road to 2k rn lol

[@Liesthroughisteeth]

I wonder if the blinkin isn't caused from your end, seeing as how you're a few more klicks away from most of these guys. Oh....as a Canadian, at hockey games, I have found I get beat up far less often when I do NOT sing the American National Anthem versus when I do. Just ....you know....trying to be helpful.

[@marklongNH]

‘MERICA

[@DaiZombi]

Ok, I have to say that that was the best version of the American national anthem I’ve ever heard 👍

[@tootall4667]

Straight to jail!

[@gamingchannalwithMJ]

For what singing American anthem as a brit

[@toddbosworth6013]

😅😅😅😅

[@eddienorton4577]

USA USA USA

[@NoJobNoBoat]

I've heard worse.

[@mementomori4972]

Please stop singing...
