    I've noticed that running a car into the wall is more common these days.

    How would SVG fare in Cup?

    I think SVG did well enough to get a chance with a NASCAR team - he passed the test. It is my opinion that good drivers can do well in any car given enough time to learn the car. In Chicago, SVG had street course experience while the other drivers didn't plus NASCAR drivers don't have...

    Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

    I was impressed with SVG's drive. I was also impressed with Haley who was the best of the rest.

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    Give the Cup to the driver who wins the playoffs and create another honor for the team that wins the full season (something like the Constructor's championship in F1).

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    I agree, I think the team that does the best throughout the entire season should be regognized. I think consistency is as important as winning. My point is that I find the current playoff system entertaining and entertainment is what all sports are.

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    Before the playoff system the championship was usually down to a couple drivers by September. The first playoff system - you were out after one bad race. The current system mimics a the playoff systems used by other sports and I find it more entertaining.

    Racing with Giants: Porche at Le Mans

    The History channel had a program about Porche's history at Le Mans. I missed the first half of the program so I'll be looking for a replay. Porche has had a long and winning history at Le Mans. It was fun seeing historic video and hear from many of the drivers. I became impressed with...

    2023 Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America

    The Indy race was better than the F1 race. I watched the Indy race and checked the F1 race for the start and a couple times during Indy commercials (the F1 presentation was weird, the race in a window with some guys in smaller windows shooting the breeze). There was a lot going on in the Indy...

    All Electric NASCAR Series on the Horizon

    Electric cars have their place but it isn't the total solution. In the northern part of the country we know the battery is the weakest component in winter. We'll see how people like replacing batteries down the road. There isn't a standard charging port yet. Plus the size of a gas station...

    24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary

    I like the idea of having the cars with a feature to limit the top speed when in caution areas, all the cars maintain their position. But I don't understand the rules for giving a lap back or moving cars around.

    24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary

    I was looking for live timing and scoring on the LeMans site and what I found blanked my screen (had to reboot). Is there a site that shows the current scoring? I'd like to check how various teams are doing.

    How many of you were around to see this

    I recognize most of the names. And based on Elliot's speed I think it was for the Talladega race.

    NASCAR at LeMans

    I'm curious what the other teams think about the NASCAR. How does the air from a large car affect the field?

    NASCAR at LeMans

    I'm looking forward to see how the NACSCAR platform performs this weekend. I figure the car has had controlled testing with simulation equipment plus a lot of real world testing via weekly races with 40 cars. I figure the Garage 56 car is based of the Cup car with changes teams dream of...

    Chicago - 2023

    I'm not a fan of street courses, They are usually concrete canyons where the driver can't see around a corner. The Chicago track looks a little interesting (not sure how narrow the track is). I'm guessing a pass will involve trading paint.

    F1 2023 Spanish GP thread

    I think qualifying is more exciting than the race, Red Bull doesn't win the pole until the last few minutes.

    Cup RACE thread ---- Gateway 2023

    The #8 team had it dialed in. The #5 team fixed their car during the race - again. The #34 team showed everyone how to work two tires.

    Rate the Race - 107th Indianapolis 500

    9 I thought the last red flag was unnecessary but on the flip side, Newgarden's celebration in the stands was pretty cool.
