    Johali's Rate the race --- Daytona

    5 I’m always happy to see a first time winner but I’m not crazy about plate racing or overtime finishes. I’m glad I watched the race and can’t wait until Darlington.

    Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    I’m not a big fan of plate racing but I’m still stoked about the race. I’m hoping someone like Jones or Gragson wins!

    Bonehead of the week: Michigan

    My bonehead definitely goes to myself. I watched a race that was marred by a bogus caution and a gimmicky overtime finish. I’m pretty easy going but any time I see bogus cautions and overtime’s I go 😡😤🤬

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Michigan

    XXX I was watching a race that would have been an 8 or so until the bogus caution and overtime finish. It was like watching a really good movie only to have it screwed up by a Hallmark/Lifetime ending. The overtime gimmick is being used far too often IMO.

    Maybe 2-3 charters! For whatever reasons the networks have demanded gimmicks & they write the checks so it’s their call.

    Michigan International Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    The lack of mechanical failures is remarkable considering how fickle the cars were in the 80’s and part of the 90’s. Of course I’m not going to mention any of this to Martin Truex or Ty Gibbs for a little while 😁

    I’ll fess up. I butt dialed him I used to love the honesty of Kyle & Wally. They weren’t negative about Nascar but just told things how they were. You bring up good points about the TV coverage. My all time favorites were Ned, Bob & Benny. I thought they had fun but presented Nascar as a...

    That makes sense as it looked rough.

    Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

    My opinion was just based on the group I used to hang with. One thing I never figured out was why the recession would have negatively impacted broadcast ratings. I understand how it would impact race attendance but not in home viewing. If anything you’d think all broadcast ratings would increase...

    Michigan International Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    When I started watching NASCAR it was normal for cars to overheat. One minute the leader had 5 laps on the second place car and the next he was in the pits looking like Old Faithful! I think Robert Yates started running coolant first through the heads and after the early 90’s overheating was no...

    Ryan Newman Appreciation Thread

    I thought of Ryan Newman the other day as I passed by the South Bend Motor Speedway. It looked quite well worn from the glimpse I got. It may not be open anymore either.

    Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

    This is just my personal experience so take it for what it’s worth. A lot of people I used to go to races with stopped following after the implementation of the chase and the CoT finished the rest of them off. My opinion is that NASCAR felt that running off the old fans wasn’t going to be a big...

    I just got off the phone with Jeff Burton and he was adamant that every point matters🤣

    Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

    Many times drivers are in cars that cannot win so they scrape together the best finish possible. Most of the drivers know if they have a realistic shot at a win shortly after they unload.

    Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

    IMO the guy in the video was just throwing out ideas and opinions of how things could be. I’m not sure it accomplishes anything or even if it’s supposed to. We all know the the networks dictate to Nascar about how things will be so a season long championship will never happen again. I like...

    Thanks for posting the video. It was interesting.

    Kurt Busch appreciation thread

    I remember Kurt getting into trouble in Phoenix about 20 years ago for dangerous driving. He was very disrespectful to the deputy that pulled him over. Jack Roush fired or suspended him for the last 2 races as he signed with Penske for the next year. I don’t recall him being drunk in that...

    The Cucumber Returns

    I took the comments to mean that it wouldn’t hurt RC to lose a bunch of dough but it would hurt the guys in the shop. I don’t think the OP was saying there should be no penalties because it hurts everyone on the team.

    The Cucumber Returns

    It seems to me they should have taken the win away too. Dumping Logano was bad but hooking Hamlin was egregious from where I sit. Just one idjits opinion as @Charlie Spencer would say!
