It's possible that there might be a dry zone in NC where there isn't snow. Everything might turn out sorta alright (it'll still be COLD).

TBH having Cup drivers do a Crown Vic race would actually be really sick.

Nah. What happened is that Fox bought a piece of Indycar and they want to use their relationship with Trump to promote it. They don't own a piece of NASCAR and certainly don't care what happens after their race package ends in the first half of 2026.

At the end of the day, I still like Indycar. It would seem asinine to suggest that it would be smart to not run DC for the Semiquincentennial around the National Mall if the president was going to basically push to have the race done at taxpayer expense without regard to the Hatch Act. The...

We're talking about The Clash here. Allegedly the point of this event is to engage fans in a fun but meaningless start to season event. Who else is NASCAR supposed to be trying to appeal to more with this? The sponsors of the teams so they can steal those too?

I just wish they'd go back to making this a smaller thing with fewer entries that's easier to follow and more of a reward for drivers who did something of value the year prior. I have not personally seen a single person ever discuss any great Clash moments or races from anything newer than the...

They literally had about 40,000 people in that very venue referenced for an auto race a month ago. Which, perhaps, could just be left alone to satisfy its fans?

Oh, cool, maybe NASCAR can cannibalize something else organic in motorsports. At least I guess from my perspective nothing of real value would be lost.

If a race containing the top 20 in points will satisfy the networks....just do that from now on. Or even just make it pole winners again

Obviously the sample size is a bit low but arctic air breaking south and causing havoc in the continental US seems to be a nearly annual occurrence now. I can't see how it would fix this issue. Now, having said that, and with the understanding that Summer comes with different weather threats...

There were concerns from all sorts of people about trying to pull this race off on a permanent basis back when they announced the move from LA to Bowman Gray. It seems pretty wild to me that they just never thought to have a contingency plan in case it was super cold or snowing in January.

In fairness, when more than 1/3 of the race is held under caution and cautions = everyone gets their laps back, it's not that big a surprise. Porsche is gonna win the overall. I am expecting a caution inside the last hour come hook or by crook so who knows what happens with the GTs. LMP2 is...

It is what it is. Look, I wish it were the strong Winston West of yore. I really do. It would be even better if the Winston West series were on the same spec as the big boys again as an option but obviously that's not gonna happen. I'm sure if I pressed it I'd be told that the way the sport was...

If FS-1 wants to air a race that might actually be entertaining, Flo can hand them any number of properties that will be far more enthralling than a bakers dozen field consisting of 3 decently prepped cars and a bunch of total junk that wouldn't be competitive at a vintage meet if it were driven...
