This Wet NASCAR Road Course Battle Will Completely Melt Your Brain
This Wet NASCAR Road Course Battle Will Completely Melt Your Brain-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:22

NASCAR is the butt of many jokes over the fact that they run any of their ovals in the rain. But NASCAR will run on a wet road course. The perfect combination of a soaking wet track and ludicrously powerful stock cars is more fun than anyone deserves to watch, and this Mosport battle is one of the best I’ve watched all year.

This clip is from the Canadian NASCAR Pinty’s Series’ trip to Mosport: a classic road course set in a lovely park-like setting. Only this time, Mosport felt more like a water park, as it was soaked to the core. If the cars look slow, it’s understandably so—nobody has any grip.

Watching Kevin LaCroix and Andrew Ranger battle it out ruthlessly for the last couple laps of this race is totally nuts. It’s so slippery that they break traction every time they shift gears. Visibility in the cars’ rooster tails is miserable, yet Ranger isn’t even using a windshield wiper.

Bonus: the battle for third behind these two comes right up to the finish line, too.

NASCAR, please do this more often.

If your steering wheel fell of while you were driving, you’d probably pull over to the side of the road and wait for a truck to come and tow you to the nearest shop. But you are not a Polish rally driver. If you were, you wouldn’t give a crap...
