Let's get ready to rumble.
Looks like coverage of Monza Madness--billed as NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, F1 and more are taking on virtual Autodromo Nazionale Monza--starts soon (9 p.m. Eastern).
Jordan Taylor's Twitch has been very entertaining. He's been practicing.
Here's the official feed:
And Jordan's Twitch the best thing ever.
"Fighting for 56th."
Total chaos! 
Jordan: "They're wrecking in front of me, I'm not lifting!"
[crashes into them]
"Shoulda lifted."

Yup. A+ commentary, sports fans.
Kyle Larson dropped a very bad word on the driver's voice channel and now I wonder if he'll face suspensions for future virtual races or for real races when they resume.
I just saw that.
Um, Kyle, dude, WTAF?
Yeah, very disappointed in Kyle right now.
In lighter news, here's a clip of Jordan Taylor crashing so hard his motion rig flipped on its side.
How to end your entire career, sponsored by the letters N and R. No doubt some PR specialists and marketing managers are pounding back espressos working to pull sponsorship and craft messaging to push out in the AM.
Well, that's one way to make the national news.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
And he's now received the ever-popular "indefinite" suspension. Whatever that means.

Jordan tweeted about his wreck:
Most realistic sim out there?@SimCraft. No question. Literally flipped last night going 215mph at Monza. Jokes aside, a minor defect in a non-SimCraft part failed and thankfully is covered under warranty. Replacement parts were overnighted and we’re ready to go back to racing.
And I love his "Rodney Sandstorm" comment just before everything comes off the rails.

Well that's the least of his issues. He's just been dropped, err fired, by Ganassi AND GM

In reply to Adrian_Thompson (Forum Supporter) :
Yeah, I imagine Ganassi had no choice, considering all the sponsors were going to drop their support. Now maybe Chip has a chance of keeping them on the car for whoever takes over, if and when racing returns.
In reply to slowbird :
Agreed. That's (rightly so) a zero tolerance word these days. I watched a Dave Chappelle special last night and even he made me uncomfortable with the frequency of the word.

Dave Chappelle probably makes Dr. Dre uncomfortable with his frequency. (he is really funny though!)
