$300/spin is a choice.

Bacon finishing 5th is a great result for him at a half mile. I went to watch the feature this morning having missed all spoilers and they're letting me know about how Reutzel was out with his injury from the Dash and I just thought, "oh damn, I gotta watch the whole thing now, huh?" So I did...

Kennedale isn't my ideal of a track for these cars. Passing was tough both nights. Cotton Bowl should be an improvement for me sitting way far away where I'm told snow could be forthcoming.

You look at the Indycar or F1 threads and it's like "Yeah man, McLaren is really improving this year!" Sports cars: "Wow, isn't this a great GTP field?" and then you get to NASCAR threads and LMAO does the tenor ever change. Not in a "everyone is negative about NASCAR" but more like the way in...

It's actually funny to me. I watch racing dispassionately whereas a lot of the forum is VERY passionate about some component of NASCAR, whether it is a driver or team owner or manufacturer and their entire interaction with racing is built around that. People get in their feelings here about all...

Practically speaking, Jr. is unf*ckwithable. He's too big and popular for anyone to sanction for saying something they don't like and no one has an independent bullhorn to speak to the public to that is remotely as big for this sport. Shaq right now is taking hits for how he's talking about the...

Carl Edwards, IIRC, made his own break by mortgaging everything he owned for a ride at the Copper World Classic. For that, I respect him a ton. In terms of how I personally feel about him? He's not a horse jockey like a lot of race car drivers and I think was willing to engage in some back and...

I mean, doesn't it make sense that Fox would be promoting Indycar during NASCAR broadcasts and thus you'd see the advertisements? :laugh:

Of course. The request though was to provide ideas on how the series should hand out championships. Giving points costs nothing directly but has an indirect cost in that now you have to explain how these points work, how they count to the series title, blahblahblah. I'd rather the drivers get...

Okay, so, yeah, is it news to anyone that NASCAR wouldn't be at the same level as the NFL? I am assuming you are not suggesting that a couple of decent advertisements being run during the Super Bowl makes Indycar an NFL level property; am I right?

BFD. NASCAR can be on FS1 and they still have more manufacturers, more big name sponsors, more everything. Fox is promoting Indycar because they perceive it as a cheap growth property and they have the entire season. The notion that Fox cares more about Indycar when the entire Indycar deal is...

This stuff kills me - they're paying probably 5-10x for NASCAR what they do Indycar and just because someone has actually bothered to promote Indycar that is distributing them unlike how ESPN or even NBC handled it, everyone is now on the "Fox doesn't care about NASCAR" wagon.

One of the reasons people compare NASCAR to WWE so much is not just the similarities in the business' structure historically and the strongman leadership role the CEO has always filled, but also down to strategies they use. Vince McMahon was obsessed with the notion of "moments" - realize that...

No more playoffs. Whole season based on the points system that exists now (e.g. 40 points to win, 35 for second; 5 for pole, 1 for fast lap). No more cautions for stages ending nor points because removing the playoffs ends the disincentive that existed to not try. If you're that concerned with...

I thought about this some and can't think of a single example anywhere in the world that qualifies. I went looking too. F1 is definitely a nope: entirety of sports car racing is the same. Indycar is a big nope; same with Super Formula and any historical series which has been usurped by those...

https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-is-nascar-cancelling-the-mexico-city-race-weekend-exploring-the-potential-replacements-and-consequences-of-rumored-setback/ I'm not sold on it either and there's a lack of corroborating reports. I suppose there's also a lack of journalists saying it...

The hot rumor online is that NASCAR isn't going to Mexico City anymore this year and might instead be having a third Daytona event on the road course. Gee, I wonder what could have happened?

As I was saying....

I hadn't seen a good reminder of the effects leaded gas had on cognitive capacity at the population level that I could comment on publicly in awhile. That was until I saw this.

It does, yeah. Do they see the value in NW for this? I dunno, I guess it depends on the seating/suites situation come 2026. I could see some revamping where TMS goes back into March and North Wilkesboro takes the first TMS date in May.
