    Put Hailie Deegan in the #41 Next Year!

    This. Have her prove her worth on merit. Nascar is wayyyyy different than other racing series. So much success is based on having experience. The recipe for her future in a potential Cup car? Get her on good teams in the support series and have her work her way up. 3-4 four years before...

    Rate The Xfinity Race: The Charlotte ROVAL

    4.5 One chicane too many. And yes, very short race. Also stage racing at road courses makes no sense! Get rid of the front chicane and turn 1 would become a legit passing zone.

    Brett Griffin: Garage talk is that AllStar package being used at all tracks next season

    I'm not talking about street stock. And what they did years ago was obviously done badly if what you described took place. We have had improvements in wind tunnel technology since and I think it is worth another go.

    Brett Griffin: Garage talk is that AllStar package being used at all tracks next season

    The current "package" is the equivalent of an aero band-aid. I'm talking about a clean sheet re-shaping of the body panels to get maximum drag reduction while still looking like the production cars. In fact they would actually look more like the production cars rather than the slightly...

    Brett Griffin: Garage talk is that AllStar package being used at all tracks next season

    One solution that Nascar has not pursued is Drag reduction. The bodies on the current stock cars could be redesigned to still look like the manufacturers cars, but generate much less drag than they do now. The less drag they generate the less the dirty air effects the cars behind them. Not a...

    Steve Phelps Named New NASCAR President

    They will not. People forget who the real power behind the throne is: Brian France was just the public face. Lesa was in more powerful positions in the organization for far longer while Brian was still playing around in marketing. Nothing will change.

    American Autoracing Triple Crown

    100% Legit. Three different types of cars, three different styles of racing. The marquee event for each series.

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    Yup you're right, serves me right for firing off a quick reply before heading out the door - I stand corrected. Better to be right than quick! So for similar to 10-6... 36-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 "Championship 40" has a nice ring to it - would be good for promotion. Somehow I...

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    Actually no. F1 had a similar margin between 1&2 for 40 years. Worked just fine. 36 races a season, plenty of time for things to go wrong for the leader and for others to catch up.

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    So I favor about three 2nd places to make up one win - and you would give a bump for finishing top ten... So 1st to 20th: 60-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 or something like it... Makes you wonder what herb the France's are smoking - when two random internet posters can...

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    Kinda a sad commentary on their 'championship" systems. It is in such a state that although people would absolutely argue the pro's and con's of my 15-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 championship points system, if implemented it would be better by default than the points and championship formats put in...

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    An interesting example of points inflation even in F1. Percentage wise with 15-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 you would get the exact same championship results over a season. Why start at 25 points and not 15??? All I have been able to deduce is that FIA likes the look on the championship table of guys...

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    I'd argue that the 40 car field size is irrelevant. I've seen multiple races per season where drivers come from the back of the field to place top ten and even win. Not a rare thing in oval racing, and that needs to be taken into account. So my points system is about finishing at the front...

    If NASCAR is trying to be a true playoff, why is Homestead not a head to head race?

    If I had my way only top ten finishers would be rewarded, with a bonus for winning. (No points just for finishing and running around in the back.) The points would go from 1st to 10th: 15-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Add them all up at the end of the season and crown your champion. It's really not that...
