Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

Sounds good until some whiz kid in Daytona suggests reducing race distances even further, or going to timed races.

Aother advantage to streaming - no TV window to limit coverage.

I'll take grasping at straws for 600 please.

Hey, I like your idea. But like most of the good ones around here, I can't see them being implemented.

I agree 100% about stage break laps counting. The laps before the initial green flag don't count and the laps between the green checkered flag and the next green flag shouldn't count either.

With the new movie F-1 being out, pretty sure that is going to force Nascar to follow suit with one of theirs.

And this brings us to the last whammy. Stage breaks are commercial breaks. No way to slice it. I wish there weren't any commercials like everybody else but with billions on the line it ain't going to happen. If I had the wand, my improvement would be to shut off the lap scoring. They burn up sometimes 6, 8 minutes of running caution laps that are scored for the total laps giving us two long stage caution periods of less racing.

Sometimes I wonder if they are like football where an official stands on the field and holds up play until the tv network returns from commercial. Maybe NASCAR could mandate no one can wreck during commercials.

Definitely fits in random but I randomly met 1988 Cup Rookie of the Year Ken Bouchard at an event I was at today. I'll post more about it in my racing thread tomorrow.

Alex Palou won 5 r/c races and the I500 this season, but blew a 5-second lead Sunday by wandering off course twice late at Mid-Ohio. Nothing's guaranteed.
