I am wicked late to the party here because it's been a crazy week but here are my thoughts.... Prime coverage - I thought it was great. Picture was awesome and way better chemistry than FOX. I also brought a second small TV in the living room and had Chase's in-car on MAX which was a lot of...

We have seen this before and it does not matter how well he does right now. He will have beat those Toyotas and Fords at Phoenix and unless HMS finally figures that track out he will have a knife at a gun fight.

I just hope this leads to changes. I really think if the crew holds the lead Chase has the trophy this weekend. Always hard to say for sure but man was it fin to watch Chase and Larson go at it on that restart and how Chase was better on the long run and run him down. It seemed like such a...

I d9on't recall Chastain's ability to ever be called into question. He's a really good driver and above average in my opinion. It just seems like he payed too much NASCAR on video games and once in a while he forgets he's not in a game. LOL

I am scratching my head and really puzzled. I had Chase's in-car and he passed the 1 quite a few times and I remember thinking a lot about how bad they are struggling right now. I guess they are all on a razor's edge right now and all running so close to the same speed that one slight...

Overall uneventful but not a bad race. Nice to not see half the field wrecked. My big takeaway here is one that has been going on for a while and it's HMS sucks at working together. At the end of the first stage Chase and Larson and Byron worked well to get toward the front but then they...

You're right. What I meant was every driver will have an equal chance so was not really clear enough. I'm tired. LOL.

I'm fuzzy but I don't recall weather being an issue at Atlanta back when it was the final race....was it?

The appeal to me is that at least it will be more in the driver's hands and I won't go into the season thinking "well if ____ makes the final 4 it will be their title to lose" or the opposite of that which has been the past few years thinking if Chase or Larson make the final 4 it won't much...

Yeah - we want to go there next season but I am not thrilled with the idea of the heat in the summer. If it's not going to be the finale I'd still like to see it as a fall race.

Why not Atlanta? It hosted the championship for years and is a speedway race now similar to Talledega with maybe a little less carnage.

Man - Glad you like Phoenix but can't remember the last time I enjoyed a race there. I wish the Rock would get their spring date.

Could not agree more since my initial reaction was "well that's better than Phoenix for sure but now it's Larson's to lose." Rotating it will be good though just in the sense that one team can't just sit on being good at one place like Penske has. Curious to know what other tracks folks would...

Well if you want to look at the whole picture NASCAR has been on a bit of a comeback since the 2010's when things were probably at their worst. Now in fairness I did not research any numbers on that but just talking about the lack of buzz and empty seats at big races like Indy. 2 of my most...

Yeah - For now. It still sucks seeing what it has become compared to what it once was. Especially when NASCAR can do things to make a better product.
