New track record for Michael McDowell.

I bought tickets to the Richmond summer race during the 600 yesterday. Hopefully it doesn't rain or get lightning delayed halfway through and they tell the fans to go fly a kite again! NASCAR blew a golden opportunity last night. I almost regret spending money on a race now.

I'd prefer to see the Clash run at the Daytona roval with the standard aero/engine set-up, if for no other reason than to bring back Speedweeks.

The last 35 laps or so were very entertaining. 7.5

Rooting for Ford to get on the board this weekend!

The biggest problem at Daytona & Talladega right now is the complete inability to pass without a ton of help. Cutting the spoiler down would be an easy fix.

^I doubt they wanted to make Cup racing worse than the secondary series.

^Cup isn't a better product right now. I wish Xfinity races were as long as the Cup races this year.

NASCAR needs to do A LOT more testing with the NextGen car to make changes for next year. Weather it be the tire compounds, the size of the tires themselves, aero changes or a different engine package (tapered spacer size), something radical has to be done to make passing at superspeedway and...

^Honda doesn't want it! :cuckoo:

^It's an improvement compared to the 550 HP version of the previous car, which isn't saying much. The cars are way too easy to drive now on all tracks, except the technical road courses.

Interesting conversation with Carl Long & BJ McLeod.

Wasn't the main idea behind the Next Gen car to reduce costs? That hasn't happened apparently so playing hardball with NASCAR on the charter/revenue sharing agreement is their only hope.

Everyone knows owning a race team is a great way to lose money. At least the charter gives them some assurance of recouping some of their losses on the backend. If NASCAR pulls the charters, the game is over. Not even Bill France Sr. would have had the balls to do that.

^If NASCAR is going to run a race on Easter, Richmond isn't the worst place to do it. I'd rather see them make it Cup's first off-week and push the finale back to mid-November.

^I hope they get the new manufacturer question settled by the end of the summer so they can figure out what they're doing with the new engine.
