Mediocre start. I'm glad this isn't a 2:40 race.

Eh, it's also reflective of NBC's higher emphasis on drama.

That's not limited to fuel discussions.

Weather and crowds look good!

I can't say. I don't watch anything else other than golf, and I'm not interested enough in that to hang out on its forums. For all I know, race fans may even be more reasonable than those of other sports. I -suspect- they're all pretty much the same, though.

Agreed but it differs strongly with the tax methods used to support stick and ball stadiums. The COVID money was allocated to NC to spend as the legislature wished. The amount of money was going to be spent somewhere, be it race tracks or elsewhere. No local taxing authority went to or...

I think they'll have to introduce a new powerplant first, probably hybrid, before another manufacturer signs on. Dodge can knock the dust off its V8 ICE capability but I don’t know about anyone else developing it.

What France didn't understand is Game 7 Moments can't be forced. Most '4 of 7' series don't get to a seventh game. The ones that do get that far are special partly because they're rare and don't happen every year. Even some of those seventh games aren't special because they turn out to be...

To me, one of the advantages of the Latford system was last place got more than 1 point. I recall it was around 30 or so. With first around 175, last place earned about 17% of first. Under the current system (1 point for last, 40 for first), last place is 2.5% of first. The current system...

It's a bit top-heavy*. I'll go with it because NASCAR won't cut back to one stage, so the higher top-end points will compensate for the second stage points. *I likes my wimmens like I likes my point systems.
