Moved to Monday…duh!

Better have taken lots of pictures of that pretty artwork cause it’s getting buried now. Doubt that the melt happens ahead of the race unless they’ve got heating elements built into the infield area.

The die is cast, er frozen, and the race will commence once the massive arctic effects can be brutally wrestled into submission. The stands may look like the Covid moments but TV contract responsibilities and sponsor obligations will be satisfied, at a loss for tons of extra hours, expense and...

If the snow hits, you can forget Sunday.

Yep, as I predicted. They have it scheduled, and will wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, until they’ve got a clear track, mostly clear roads, and sub freezing temps. Admire anyone willing to go in spite of all this, but I’d have my tickets on a broker’s site.

If they cared about the folks about to travel there (fly, drive, etc) as well as the teams, recognize the reality and reschedule. The 10 day forecast is continuously very cold, but not much a snow/ice scenario past this weekend. On the other hand, they seem to be treating this like any other...

I liked The Roval and will miss it. Agree a road course is needed in the Chase. Wonder what the rationale is? Ratings? Feedback?

This is the dumbest approach I’ve seen in a while. They must think elves are going to light 1000 campfires and keep the polar air mass from its approach…and block the moisture also 🫨😳

NASCAR reportedly meeting to review and make a decision, with rescheduling likely. Could be next weekend, or possibly mid-week. Some Bubba just posted on his “Inside Racing” that the race will be run on Tuesday Feb 10th. 😳 Somebody cue the circus music and clown cars…

Welp..I didn’t see yours so started another one 🤣. Mods please remove mine. Obviously this brings up the intelligence level of scheduling a race in a cold weather state for early February. Got lucky previously, but that bet is running craps this year. High of 22, low of 16. Anyone going from...

McDonald’s is done with 23XI, although that might be old news. Opened the door for Hardee’s.

I don’t have a strong opinion, but I understand where @Revman is coming from. Agree Jr’s approach is/was balanced and that Martin was kinda screechy on this stuff (as is/was Kenny Wallace). Bottom line is the new Chase, much like the old Chase, and the best compromise the current era will get.

SVG will win an oval race and finish the Chase within the top 10 in points.

Indeed I can’t stand Hamcrap either. Under the new Chase system, or any points system if in effect last year, he wouldn’t have been even close to in contention for a 2025 championship. Having said that, agree he is a very good driver and is probably the best to have not won a championship...

Yeah, this horse is finally in the barn, so no real need to keep whipping it to death. Very happy with it myself.
