Now if Netflix  can do NASCAR  series like F1 .........naw thats too much........

Season 2 of NASCAR: Full Speed comes out on Netflix on May 7th. I thought season 1 was decent but not as good as D2S. 

The drafting tracks like Daytona and Talladega are weird. I'd like to see Garrett run an ARCA race at a regular track to see if he's competitive at a non-drafting track.

I'd like to see that as well. He tends to do well at the Freedom Factory races, but the competition level is a bit different most of the time.  I suspect he'd make a decent showing.

I know he's run some Champcar stuff before he was such a big name.  I'd expect him to do well in any format.

He created a character, became wealthy from it, then used the money to go racing. How is that different than any actor that's decided to become a racer?

Sounds like he's running Bristol, so you'll get to see it.

This is the next NASCAR star. If he isn't already. Ran Talladega on 7 cylinders and came in 10th. That's damned impressive. 
 

One of my favorite restrictor-engine cheats was when a team lost a pushrod on the dyno and discovered that the engine made the same power.

So they made a special cam with the lobes reversed on one cylinder, and made a special header with that header tube capped off at the collector and a big hole for air induction. Now the dead hole pumps air into the intake manifold, downstream of the restrictor.  I bet jetting the carb was tricky.
