Trying to Learn About and Explain NASCAR Daytona 500 Race ~ ASMR Soft Spoken, Paper Sorting

I tried to learn about the Daytona 500 race and share it here - I hope you enjoy! There is a lot more to this subject, if you like this let me know and I may need to do some follow up videos. I’m a little nervous about this one tbh, hopefully I didn’t go too far wrong. This is an ASMR Style video to help distract your busy mind.
Thanks for watching, liking, and commenting!

⁠@@samuelmonge2869yes, I should research this more, but they do compensate for premium members.

D500 predictions?

[@Kvapilnation]

To answer some of the confusing bits. Qualifying for the Daytona 500 is a bit different from every other race. On Wednesday they qualify for the front row (two fastest cars) and then they split the cars even and odd numbers in duels (2 races that are 60 laps each) and the finishing results from those races will make up the starting lineup/grid. Black Flag- Means you've broken a rule or your car is putting others at risk (Oil leak, Parts hanging off) Blue Flag- You are getting lapped and should get out of the way. Fun fact its actually not mandatory to get out of the way in NASCAR its a curiosity thing. F1 it is Theres also a newer flag called the Green and White Checkered flag thag comes out during the end of stage. Theres also an extra thing when you win a stage called a playoff point that helps you out later in the season. The points carry on after each race until the playoffs (thats a whole nother thing) So whoever crosses the line after the 200 laps does win the race, points are just an extra thing that go on for the championship. Hope this helps :) Let me know if theres anything else youd like to know about.

[@nascarnational]

22-year-old lifelong nascar fan here. great explanation of the race!! i did NOT expect to see my two favorite things- asmr & racing (nascar preferably)- to collide, although it does make sense it happens on this occasion. thank you for exposing nascar to new audiences!! it means so much to me, especially considering the nascar is unfortunately half as popular as it was 10 years ago. hopefully we get the race in on sunday!! weather looks quite bleak but i think there could be a window for the afternoon 🪵🤛

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Is viewership down? I didn't know that! Interesting. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Finger crossed for good weather!

[@nascarnational]

@@Nofrillsasmr in general?? yes, in 2013 the 500 had 16.7 mil. watching live & in 2023 it barely had 8.1 mil.-- less than half of the 2013 numbers. luckily the ratings for qualifying & the duel races that've taken place recently have gone up over 2023, however as mentioned nature looks to dismantle that on sunday 😮‍💨 you're welcome btw!! whatever happens i hope you enjoy the action this weekend!!

I've been watching Nascar all my life (born in 98) and I thought you did a great job explaining everything! As a huge football fan I also loved all the NFL and Super Bowl stuff you did, keep it up!!

[@legohalonascarfan3]

NASCAR hasn't done themselves any favors in making this stuff easy to understand. Actually they've been making things more complicated, like stages and the playoffs, recently lmao

[@pr1nce_8904]

25:46 you got it basically right, but one more thing is that if the white flag has already been thrown, then a yellow flag ends the race.

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Ok, good info! Thanks.

[@rynogt4]

The algorithm has blessed me; this was very relaxing and fun to listen to as a life-long fan of NASCAR and motorsports in general. Some further explanations to help answer some questions/clarify some things from the video: Firstly, and this just a very small thing: the track is known as Daytona International Speedway The starting grid of a race is always set where the fastest qualifier starts on the inside of row 1, the 2nd fastest starts on the outside of row 1, 3rd and 4th line up in row two, etc. The Daytona 500 actually has an extra event not seen in any other NASCAR race where the field is split in half based on their qualifying results and each half runs separate 150-mile races called the Duels to determine where they start the actual 500-mile race. The results of Duel 1 determine the inside lane of the starting grid, and Duel 2 sets the outside lane, with the exception of the top 2 qualifiers as they are guaranteed to start on the front row. While drivers don't have a choice on where they line up for the initial start of a race, there's been a rule added in recent years called the "choose" where when a caution period is about to end, the cars are ordered to drive to either the left or right of an orange arrow painted on the center of the track. If they go to the left of the arrow, they restart the race in the left (inside) lane, and everyone who goes right starts in the outside lane. For the black flag, IIRC there's a sign just below where the flagman stands that lights up the number of the car being black flagged. Every driver also has direct radio communication with other members of their team throughout the race who can also inform them. The stages are also a relatively new feature in NASCAR racing which also added the green-checkered flag; its design is like the checkered flag but the black sections are colored green instead. You were mostly right about how stage points work; while a driver who finishes the final stage in 2nd CAN end up scoring more points overall than the person who finished 1st, the 1st place finisher is still declared the winner of the race no matter how many fewer points they have than those behind them. And yes, every point earned in each stage is kept throughout the entire season. In the event of a rainstorm or something else that causes the red flag to stop the race, NASCAR officials (the referees) can declare the race finished at that point as long as the field has completed at least half the scheduled laps, and the finishing positions are determined by where the cars were when the race was stopped. For example: in 2019 at the 2nd Daytona race that year, Justin Haley gained the lead during a caution caused by a crash; then lightning struck a few miles away from the track as they were preparing for a restart, forcing NASCAR to red flag the race with 33 laps left to run. When it started raining, NASCAR decided to declare the race finished, giving Haley his first win in the Cup series. The last lap they ran before the race was stopped was also the only lap where Haley was in the lead of that race. Hope this clears some things up, and again I really enjoyed this video. I'll definitely check out more from your channel and I'd love to see another video about NASCAR or just racing in general!

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🏎️

[@dandreani]

26:40 the rule is basically this. If you are under yellow and there is no more laps to race (eg, you crossed lap 200), they will do a green white checkered restart. Which means there will be 2 additional laps to the race. Green flag, everyone go for it White flag, last lap Checkered flag, you win This helps avoiding races finishing under yellow, that would prevent cars from racing to the end

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Thanks for the info!

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Can you imagine if I hadn’t caught that?!? lol!! Thanks for watching!

[@KrakenRacing818]

IL do explanation of the flags. The green is go it is super obvious. The yellow is there was a crash, weather or debris and need to slow down into the positions they were in on the track. The red is u need to stop immediately there has been a serious crash or bad weather or the need to stop to do repair work on the track. The black means someone needs to either do a pass through under green which means u have to go through the pits or u need to repair your car for safety reasons. The blue flag means the lead lap cars are coming up to u and they are faster and u need to let them past. The white flag means it is the final lap. I don't need to explain the checkered flag it's really explanatory. I hope that clears some stuff up.

I am a diecast collector and it appears you have quite a collection of old Matchbox Superfast from at least the 80's. I don't really know much about those, but if you did a video showing the collection someone might be able to spot anything interesting.

[@RogerBates7]

The winner of the race is the person leading when the final checkered flag flies. the only thing that the stage points represent are Four the regular season championship and playoffs standings.

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Got it! That makes total sense. Thank you so much for sharing this info!!

[@DeafeningSilenceASMR]

To clarify the stage points/stages and whatnot, cause it's a weird system Nascar has now most fans don't even like it lol: Theoretically, it would be possible to win the Daytona 500 and NOT be the total points leader after the race. They CALL it stage 3, but really it's the end of the race, and winning that "stage" gets you 5 playoff points for when they determine playoff ranking. BUT, If you won and got the 40 points for 1st, but didn't finish in the top 10 at the end of either stage 1 or 2, someone could've for example finished 2nd and gotten the 35, plus maybe won a stage getting 10 bonus points, and then maybe 6th in another stage. getting 5, and be 10 points ahead of you after the race. We've had a start to a season I believe under this system where someone won the Daytona 500, and yet were 4TH in the points after the race. But, under this system, if you win a race you're automatically guaranteed to be in the Nascar 16-car playoffs (unless 17 different winners. Then there's tiebreakers. Hasn't happened yet though.) It's all complicated. Used to, Nascar just had a total points system and you raced hard every race to get as many possible and whoever had the most at the end of the season was champion. It should still be that way. Formula 1 does it!

[@Nofrillsasmr]

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Interesting, I'm not familiar. Thanks for the idea!

[@1tap313]

​@Nofrillsasmr race weekend for it usually runs from January 25/26-28/29 depending on how the days fall. The actual race is on the Saturday of that weekend and runs for 24 hours into the sunday. Definitely worth a video as you could also research what other races they hold in the two other days.

[@RogerBates7]

My understanding is if you are black flagged, they will wave the Black Flag from the flag stand as that car is going by... Simultaneously, the official will be notifying the team. So either the spotter or the crew chief will be notifying the driver that they have been black flagged and they will come in.

[@Nofrillsasmr]

Ok, good info! I thought that was probably how that worked. Thanks!!

[@speedweenie7394]

It's the Daytona International Speedway. You should look into the Rolex 24 at Daytona that happens about a month before the 500. Much more interesting and globally relevant.

[@jkspeed3677]

NASCAR is not just 1 race there are 36 points paying races. If you place first in a race you win and those points will be in the points standings which will lock you in the playoffs to contend for a championship. (only 16 cars can be in the playoffs) Stage points also will give you playoff points. If it were to have the race called early and ends, the car that is currently leading will win, not the car who won the previous stage.
