Well, howdy there, folks! Let’s talk about this here “starting order for NASCAR race today”, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, like them city folk talkin’. But I reckon it just means who’s gonna start where in that car racin’ thingy.
So, I heard tell there’s gonna be a big race today. They call it the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race, or somethin’ like that. Sounds important, I guess. They’re gonna be zippin’ around in them cars, makin’ a whole lotta noise. Probably burnin’ more gas than my old tractor does in a whole year, I betcha.
Now, I ain’t no expert on this racin’ stuff, but I do know a thing or two about startin’ orders. It’s kinda like when we’re lining up for the pie-eatin’ contest at the county fair. You gotta get yourself a good spot, or else you’ll be stuck behind old Mrs. Higgins, and she ain’t exactly speedy when it comes to eatin’ pie, bless her heart.
So, from what I gathered, this “starting lineup,” that’s what them announcers call it, tells you who’s gonna be in the front, who’s in the middle, and who’s bringin’ up the rear. I reckon bein’ in the front is a good thing. You get to see where you’re goin’, and you don’t have to worry about bumpin’ into nobody… too much, anyways.
Now, they got this fella, Martin Truex Jr.. Heard he’s gonna be leadin’ the pack. That means he’s startin’ first. Good for him, I say. He must be a pretty good driver. Or maybe he just got lucky, like when I found that twenty-dollar bill in the henhouse last spring.
- They say this race is gonna be on TV. NBC, I think they called it. I don’t watch much TV myself, too busy milkin’ the cows and tendin’ to the chickens. But if you’re into that racin’ stuff, you can watch it on that there TV thingamajig.
- They also said somethin’ about a “Green Flag Time”. Sounds like when they start the race. They said it’ll be around 2 p.m. CT on Sunday for the Phoenix race, and some other races start at different times, like 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday for that Coke Zero 400 race. Land sakes, it’s hard to keep track of all these times and races.
- And they’re racin’ all over the place! Heard tell of races in Atlanta, Phoenix, Talladega, and some place called World Wide Technology Raceway. They sure do get around, them fellas. More than I do, that’s for sure.
This here NASCAR thing, it’s got different races, it seems. Like, they got the Enjoy Illinois 300, the Coke Zero 400, and the YellaWood 500. Sounds like they just make up names outta thin air sometimes. Like callin’ a pig “Percy.” It don’t mean much, but it sounds kinda nice, I suppose.
So, if you’re lookin’ for the startin’ order for today’s race, you gotta find out which race they’re runnin’. Is it in Atlanta? Is it in Phoenix? Is it that Talladega one? Once you figure that out, you can probably find that startin’ lineup somewhere. Maybe in the newspaper, or on that internet thingy my grandson talks about. He says you can find anything on there, even recipes for rhubarb pie. Can you believe that?
And let me tell you, these races aren’t always the same day. Some are on Saturday, some on Sunday. You gotta pay attention, or you’ll miss it! Just like when I missed the church social last month because I thought it was on a Tuesday, not a Thursday. Darnedest thing, I had my casserole all ready and everything.
Anyways, from what I hear, knowin’ the starting lineup is a big deal for these racing folks. It helps ’em figure out their strategy, who they gotta watch out for, and when to make their move. Kinda like when I’m plannin’ my garden. I gotta know where the sun shines, where the water flows, and which plants need more space. Otherwise, I’ll end up with a whole lotta nothin’ but weeds.
So, if you want to know that exact starting order for the NASCAR race today, you best go look it up on that inter-web thing, or maybe turn on that NBC channel. Me? I’m gonna stick to watchin’ the grass grow and the chickens peck. It ain’t as fast-paced as car racin’, but it’s a whole lot less stressful, and you don’t have to worry about nobody crashin’ into your henhouse.
Schedule is somethin’ they talk about too. That’s just when things are gonna happen, I reckon. Like when the race starts and all that. They plan this stuff out, you know. Can’t just have cars racin’ around willy-nilly, somebody might get hurt. Or worse, they might spill their sweet tea.
So there you have it, folks. My two cents on this here “starting order for NASCAR race today” thing. It’s a whole lot of fuss about cars goin’ in circles, if you ask me. But hey, to each their own, I always say. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them biscuits I got in the oven. Wouldn’t want ‘em to burn, now would I?
