RACE thread --- The Open and the All-Star

[FLRacingFan]

So we've figured out old tires are bad again.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

So far FOX has missed two cars that sustained damage and had to show the replay. Yall this is an 84 lap race. Shape up.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

And the point of not pitting was what exactly?

 

[StandOnIt]

Probably why you want to stay up front and not get what happened to Jimmie and others back in the pack ya think?

Research for the 600

 

[AdoubleU24]

You ever try to steer a car with a front tire down at 150?

I've seen them turn thru full corners with a flat many times trying to bring out cautions instead of getting on the apron. What have you been watching?

 

[Kiante]

This "new" Fox Sports app is horrible.

I found that out trying to watch qualifying yesterday.

Not every flat handles the same.

 

[DaBiff1618]

that bothers ya does it?

I’m a beer away from not caring anymore

 

[StandOnIt]

Not every flat handles the same.

hold off, he's a flat expert

If NASCAR wanted to create more "hype"

18-20 full field, down to 12, then 8, then 4, then 1. Just like the playoffs.

- Stage 1 (40 Laps) - 18-21 cars - Must take at least 2 tires under green
-- Stage 2 (20 Laps) - 12 Cars
--- Stage 3 (20 Laps) - 8 Cars
---- Stage 4 (10 Laps) - 4 cars - Draw or Invert

2 milion dollars, 150K for a stage.

A lot of stuttering and buffering issues atm. I'm not sure why Fox made a whole new app for no reason.

 

[Ventisca]

Now that's funny. Good simple humor.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Caution for a car sliding through the turf and safely rejoining the track.

 

[racingfan7]

I love that new turf. Please apply this to other tracks ASAP.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Caution for that?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Whoever decided to put turf down was a genius, don't need a caution for that tho

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I love this new splitter

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

This new turf needs to be put at every track.

 

[Ventisca]

Did Newman get rug burns from that turf?

 

[ReturnTrip]

Newman taking the joker lap.

 

[Kiante]

Oooooo astro turf looks like the answer.

 

[StandOnIt]

Bubba needs a hit me sign on that left rear fender

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Oooooo astro turf looks like the answer.

Remember they are using a new shorter splitter that is raised about an inch higher in the center as well.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I miss when they did inverts in this race. Eliminations were fun in 2003 too.

This is just another race now.

 

[DewChaser988]

I had an idea for how to spice up the All Star Race.
Segment 1: 25 laps; 5 cars are eliminated at the end of the segment. Segment winner gets $250,000. Caution laps count
Segment 2: 50 laps, mandatory 4 tire green flag pit stop, caution laps count. Segment winner gets $250,000. 5 cars are eliminated at the end of the segment
Segment 3: 10 car, 10 lap sprint to the finish, caution laps don't count

This "new" Fox Sports app is horrible.

I've given up on it and am using the FOX NOW app when I need it. It is working better for me. Couldn't even get to the Truck races when they were live multiple times with the Sports app.

 

[Ventisca]

Nice, KyBu passed on both sides.

 

[Spotter22]

Remember they are using a new shorter splitter that is raised about an inch higher in the center as well.

It has a valley in the front but even so the grass woud have ripped it off

 

[Kiante]

The Yeet God to the lead.

Do the NASCAR playoff elimination in one night with Championship 4 final stage

 

[HoneyBadger]

This "new" Fox Sports app is horrible.

Wait, their app got worse? I didn't know that was possible.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

They ganged up on the goat there. Nice strategy.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Commercial inside the final 10 laps of the stage?

LMFAO.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I don't hate the pylon ... but why can't they just do this in race?

 

[Kiante]

I'm used to seeing Jimmie go backwards at this point.

 

[racingfan7]

So is there cash bonuses for winning a stage then?

 

[Turtle84]

Harvick AF

 

[FLRacingFan]

Looks a lot like an aero fest.

If this race weren't NASCAR's laboratory for all sorts of car changes and the literal home of NASCAR I'd be all for canning this thing.
