    Post 2022 Gen 7 Car Upgrades

    I'm interested in seeing the results from testing all these different configurations. Glad to also see that they're also looking at the tires, not just the aero stuff.

    Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

    I know they're doing this underwing test, but I honestly believe that's just a band-aid at best. Which is what NASCAR does...often. If you ever watch a CARS Tour race, you'll notice that they usually put on good shows and at most tracks the CARS drivers are able to make the outside work and...

    Cup RACE thread --- Richmond

    I mean, I agree with him. This is what racing should be more like. Stages, phantom debris, NASCAR telling drivers to not pull so far ahead as to not stink up the show, etc. All of that is just gimmicks meant to make the racing artificially more exciting. Yesterday's race may have not been...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Chicago Street

    I'm going to go against popular opinion and say I can't give this race higher than a 4 at the most. Yes the closing laps before the restart was exciting, but that was after multiple crashes and wrecks from experienced cup drivers and multiple caution laps that led to NASCAR shortening the...

    Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

    Wow, I'm going to be honest, I don't see any new fans coming into NASCAR because of this race. This is kind of a cluster****.

    Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

    Does NASCAR have any contingency plans if they're unable to get a race in? Do they reschedule for later in the year, or do they just treat it at an off week and no one gets any points, or payout?

    Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street Course

    I take it that even rain tires couldn't provide enough grip with the racing surface in this downpour at Chicago?

    No chance of a 1x Off-Track here!

    Days of Thunder 2

    I thought they already made a Days of Thunder 2.

    Stages? Yes or No?

    Honestly I think they just use a magic 8 ball, or like a set of DnD dice.

    Man, I really do hope the racing is better than the track layout. The track looks like something The Borg from Star Trek would design.

    Stages? Yes or No?

    I don't like the stages because it defeats the point of running a 400 to 500 mile race. The only checker flag should be at the end of the race. If we're trying to go more the sprint (not the car) style of racing, then NASCAR should 1) Get rid of the Charter teams automatically being in the...

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    Other sanctioning bodies in auto racing have already perfected the sprint (not the car) style race though, like The World of Outlaws or any racing series that uses the heat races & main races style events. NASCAR used to be closer to a race like the Bathurst 1000 where the goal is to see who's...

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    I mean yea, that makes sense though. It's a 400-500 mile race. Before you can finish first, first you must finish.

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    Here's my question, people say they like The Chase or the Stage form of racing because it pushes teams to perform throughout the entire season, race, whatever. However, was there any actual proof that they weren't giving it their all before the implementation of these different championship and...

    Deegan update

    Being a championship level Cup driver doesn't necessarily mean you have to work on the cars nowadays. I know back in the 40s to 70s (maybe into the 80s) drivers worked on their own cars, but that hasn't been the case since NASCAR teams started hiring engineers and specialist to squeeze out as...

    Old Nascar trucks?

    That is ****** awesome! Those have to be factory produced bodies, just like you see in street stock (and it's variations) classes.

    Old Nascar trucks?

    I think this is most likely local short track truck series. The NASCAR Truck Series started in 1995, these pictures are before 1995.

    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    Honestly, you cater to younger fans by treating them with some respect and intelligence. Younger fans want more in-dept and analytical take on NASCAR races. There needs to be more focus on storylines that develops over a season, people of all ages like a good story. Like, honestly Ross...
