Yeah, I have never met another person who likes NASCAR in college, grad school, or my career. I've converted both of my wives to semi-fans, but they would never watch if I wasn't around. It's probably the main reason I come to this board while I don't frequent boards for my other favorite...

By merely realizing this simple fact, you're more qualified to run NASCAR than Brain.

It sucks to lose one of the most unique and challenging tracks, but the racing really is terrible.

I'm giving it a chance. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would. Ive listed a couple changes that I think would make it better (don't count the laps, no lucky dogs). I agree, nothing wrong with differing opinions :)

NASCAR is allowing the field to catch up to the leader through an arbitrary caution. This is the equivalent of basketball awarding free points to the team that is losing at the end of every quarter.

Yes. A caution for a reason is part of the natural flow of a race. A caution for no reason cheats the fan out of fair competition. As I've said many times, imagine if the NBA said they would give the team that is behind free points at the end of every quarter. This is just as illogical.

It matters because it destroys the natural flow of the race, taking the lead away from a driver who earned it and lets cars back on the lead lap who don't deserve to be.

This is the kinda thing that will kill racing on my mind: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/self-driving-volkswagen-sedric-pod-9980150 No pedals, no steering wheel, no relevance for stock cars. NASCAR better wrestle with this issue before it's too late.

With only 40 cars and a pit road built for 43, maybe won't be much of an issue to shorten it up?

I think it's neat the road course still uses 95% of the oval, so we'll still get to see some door-to-door racing on the banking.

http://www.espn.com/jayski/cup/2017/story/_/id/18845841/charlotte-motor-speedway-likely-use-road-course-2018 Surprised no one posted this. 2018 looks likely for Charlotte road course.

It's the NASCAR version of shirtless at a winter football game. I can't do it without some kind of ear covering any more (though many races I went to as a kid/teen I wore nothing).

This. Harvicks error only came after Dillon's team screwed him. Maybe Richard still has a grudge.

.......I should learn to never count my chickens in racing....

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Elliot screwed in pits again.

They really should stop comparing it to the cycle. That happens very few times in baseball...I'd bet like once a season?

I've rarely felt less nervous about my driver winning. He flat dominated this. Like Truex at Charlotte.

I'm legitimately pissed. Show the debris. The one saving grace of the stages was I thought they would stop this crap.
