Dave, the NASCAR restart zone is the blue painted area that has GEICO markings on it prior to the starting line. Leader has control and can fire off anywhere in that zone. If they don't fire off within the zone, the green flag flies..

[@garygreenlee]

Each track has it in different places, but they are just prior to the line.. I will tweet a few examples to you.

[@DouglasThom]

Look who was leading for a bit there!! Wondering where the restart zone is is certainly a good problem to have!

[@nathanielmarhefka536]

As a fellow road racer to oval convert I’ve been really enjoying these videos. Quick tip - In Racelab try the blind spot monitor for oval racing. Really helps a lot to know when you have cleared a car. Some people like the radar as an alternative.

[@tamaslichtenberger8529]

"where's the restart zone?" at most of the tracks its called "GEICO restart zone" :) and for a reason. inside on the grass, outside on the wall there are huge GEICO advertisements :)

[@davecamm]

Thanks for that 😁

[@iiCoNxNC]

P7 is really good!!! Dalton collins and chad stearns are rapid in fixed nascar so to stay relatively close to them is really really good !!!!!!!

[@ugccrawl6850]

Please race Darlington when it cycles in. Loving the Oval coverage.

[@liambrotherton]

Hey Dave, Glad you are having fun with ovals. Couple of tips for you in future races. 1. You can pre select gears on an h pattern in iRacing. This will prevent you from ever missing a shift and all you have to do is just blip and itll just fall into gear. 2. Michigan is actually progressively banked, the bottom lane has much less banking than the rest of the track. So make sure to run the second lane and not split the two unless you are understeering/tight.

[@TheMrdhyde]

Only track I have ever been to. It's always big due to the Big 3 (GM, FORD & Chrysler) now Toyota. Great track wide open.

[@GetwitGhost]

Back to Back Ovals!!!!!! Happier than a mofo lmfaoo

[@Bearder]

Enjoyed the video, great race. Have a good day Dave.

[@doug_vickers]

You can't beat a double green finish Dave. 👍

[@hayden2330]

Trucks have been a caution fest all week. Nice job keeping it clean with all the crazies in C Class. Ready to see you in some oval cars this new season! Your last lap was the line I ran all week at Michigan. High groove on turns 1 and 3, finishing on the low line out of turns 2 and 4. Was consistently running 39.7ish laps. Not always possible with all the traffic but that was definitely the line I found the fastest.

[@Santanner2011]

I drove trucks for the first time last night in a practice at charlotte, and the thing nearly blew my eardrums out, but I loved it lol people crash like crazy but I got the hang of it after a few laps and ran about 30 before pitting. Might have to work towards oval racing, its a bit more enjoyable than the mazda. The only thing I dont like is how it feels like ice skating while driving down straights

[@frp_freddy]

Really good edits bro, love how you set the tone first

[@theloneracer1935]

The benefit from this video, thanks to chat, you'll never wonder where the restart zone is again on an oval lol

[@Likosak]

This reminds me of 'ye ol' Empty Box videos.

[@Pablo_regall]

The videos with nascar are the best but that could be perfect if we have a GoPro pov with the triple screens like in the past ❤😊

[@GoodWeiserRacing]

Great race Dave. Looks like your getting comfortable hanging it out on the right rear more. 👍

[@Chaddz3]

your getting better bud.. one thing that'll help you. being only a 30 lap race it wont help much here.. but in longer races, learn to trail brake more on entry you need to get thatweight to shift off the right front.then time you throttle as you come off the trail brake.. if you do it right you feel it get slightly loose. Thats when you know the weight shifted. shift from the right front to the right rear.. when you checked tire wear on that first pit stop that 2% difference between RF and RR is a very good indicator that your RF is gonna be a problem over a longer run. with this new truck build we just got you just dont have the down force on the front that we once had. so getting that weight off the right front is critical. you almost have to drive these things like you would drive the ARCA car.. learn to manipulate the dynamic cross weight with trail braking and throttle timing you learn that, you'll be killer in fixed trucks.

[@HazewinDog]

Looks like the content creators were the two biggest winners in this one!

[@RatsoFatso]

Never saw Duncan Conner ? Brutal

[@TheChris1500]

looking good dave. you came in the oval side swinging elbows.

[@zorzyk6790]

Emily is an excellent player. Sometimes I go to her channel to watch one of her races again, where she gave a show of fantastic driving. The Montreal circuit a few years ago. At the second corner, some idiot threw her off the track and she fell to last place. She rode like an angry witch. If the race had lasted several minutes longer, she would have fought for the podium.

[@TBolt1]

👍 Nice work on editing these races. You make the race flow well by taking a minute to show what caused the yellow 🟡. 1) which built-in spotter are you using? 2) do you mind showing your frame rate through some of these races? Thanks Dave.

[@davecamm]

Thank you 😁 I am using the JJ Spotter Pack for my oval races. I am on a 120hz display using G Sync so it's pretty much locked at a buttery smooth 116 FPS. Without G Sync it'd be double at least but not as smooth 👍

[@Aub188]

Well wait till you get to the cup car, changing gears and a lot of braking plus the fact it just randomly tries to spin you 😂 ive still to figure out tyre saving on the 1.5 mile tracks

[@joethompson1904]

Oval racing with the cockpit view. Fantastic! But, we want to see you win a few.

[@davecamm]

I'm trying 😁

[@user-lr5bo3ip8i]

Expect to see more traffic in Iracing. Heat 5 for console recently shut down its online servers putting about 10,000 racers without a home.

[@themeat70]

I think all the week 13 fixed truck races have unlimited tires. Yours still held up well at the end.

[@brycefountainegolf]

On that last restart, you would have benefited from pushing the guy in front of you, so you both go faster. Lifting and checking up for him slowed your momentum down. Also, you drove too deep on that last entry into turn one. Had you just backed up the corner more, you would have had a great run down the back stretch, especially with his draft. All in all great race though!!

[@superJRacing1]

Enjoying the ovals!

[@racerguy6979]

Oval racing usually is great racing and the cautions actually cause strategy or time for adjustments. Can’t wait for you to try the gen4 or xfinity. The cup cars are kinda lame now but still fun. In my league we had some pro drivers and always told me to get into corner so you drive off the right rear instead of wearing out the right front. Still haven’t figured that out lol. Oval definitely isn’t as easy as everyone thinks. Well let me correct myself. It isn’t as easy to beat the fast guys.

[@hayden2330]

He’s gonna be flying in those Gen 4s. I can’t wait to watch.

[@Syndr34]

Look at you running Old Glory. Hat tip.

[@Rich_Jamison]

Nice job! If you are using any of the sifting aids, turn them off. It seems your starts are slower than those around you and I've seen in the past where that was due to a driver having a shift aid on. I can't remember what they're called though. 👍

[@davecamm]

No, I don't have any shift aids on. I'm just rubbish 😁

[@simnutracing]

Need to hold the high line at all cost at Mich, unless you know you can clear the top making the pass at the bottom.

[@automaticflow975]

Man I was hoping for a win but great race

[@NE-Carp]

Are you using the “iRacing spotter” or are you still using “Crew Chief”. ? Loved the race.

[@Rich_Jamison]

Sounds like he is using the Jimmy Johnson sponsor pack. The voice hear d most times is Chad Knaus, JJ's crew chief. 👍

[@davecamm]

As Rich says, I'm using the JJ Spotter Pack 👍

[@luizpetribu6328]

Hey Dave, awesome race mate!! What spotter are you using?

[@hayden2330]

I may be wrong but it sounds like the Jimmy Johnson spotter pack that you can download for free. It’s very good.
