100K to win Crown Vic race: I'm pretty sure that's more than teams get to win a national NHRA event and it costs more to make one pass than it does to build a Crown Vic to race with. Absolutely ludicrous.

Part of the calculus from NASCAR in the suits might be that if they lose, they will have already been exposed in the discovery process, in which case they might as well just try and nuke everyone from orbit in a last ditch effort to not share any more of the profits than they want. Amusing that...

I don't think they're driving "over their head" or even suggesting they are. This isn't about their car control or lack thereof. SVG is literally saying "We're expected to wreck the car to get maximum points" which honestly, I don't know how this is any different from how it was when the tapered...

As the resident degen advantage player for the forum, I actually agree with your notion of calling it a jackpot. That very much matches how I see plate-style pack racing in terms of a "competition" - just like a slot machine or keno or the lottery. Hell, even just like those, once in a great...

I can't think of those without thinking about this:

There's a lot of ways to interpret this data. To me, the biggest takeaway is that Logano (or at least his team) has figured out how to best negotiate the fluid nature of NASCAR's race management. Ultimately, he might not make the chase if Nashville ends under a green flag at lap 300. But their...

Rooting for Cleetus as it is the most ridiculous possible outcome. East (which of course used to be North) and West both lost the pipeline of cheap Cup chassis for a decade plus. Also the way driver development was done changed so you have factory supported drivers with multi-million dollar...

Please enjoy this post from the guy who was creating 23XI's paint jobs at the time:

The car Lance DeWease used to race. I guess they got off the porch. :cool:

So I got bored today and another thread had me think about something: of recent champions in NASCAR, what percentage of their wins took place in Overtime against the average percentage of races which go to overtime since 2005? Ryan Blaney: 2/13 (15.4%) Chase Elliott: 3/19 (15.7%) Kyle Larson...

From what I know of each, I feel fairly confident that Jr is someone who I would enjoy spending time with and being in a conversation with, but yes, I don't know at this point how anyone could argue that Dale Jr. was a better race car driver than Chase Elliott. I don't even think it is...

Beyond that ratings were down for a little while last year - which, I mean, they've been down YOY plenty of times since 2005, it obviously didn't stop a big deal going through - did anyone do any real analysis to determine causation vs. correlation on it being because he was hurt? From what...

Wife went up to bed and that's when I got my Dirtvision sub for the year. Being able to borrow someone's login for awhile was nice but when push comes to shove, there's something about hearing Johnny Gibson's voice introing the feature that changes my heart rate and attention. You pay twice as...

Did Bubba The Love Sponge finally sell the track? Also, holy s#it at some of those rides for the B-Mods.

Racing at the same place multiple times a year isn't bad or anything necessarily, but it does feel like a holdover from a prior era of the sport to me in some ways. How many tracks fill the stands twice a year? How many would probably be more likely to feel like a major, significant event each...

...why not go FULL FREAKSHOW? It'll never have that much value for data collection and there won't be any similarly sized tracks in the series ever. Honestly, the thing is that we're supposed to be having fun, so like, let's have fun. We don't need to pretend we're talking about something that...

No, I fully understood what you were and are saying.

Nothing says that they have to lock in EV technology. Could instead opt to be a better test bed for it than Formula E. I'm pretty sure I know what the real reason is we haven't seen it and I'm pretty sure you do too. It's a fear of pushback from the fans like the OP; same reason we went from...

Everyone who is unhappy has their own missive but man does it ever bum me out to see people put "Bubba Wallace Exists" at a similar level to the playoff system or stage racing. And it happens all the time, which reminds me that my issues are actually "the racing" and many other people's...

My interest isn't purely in how much more appealing meritocracy is. There is an economic component here too. Those are my responses. If you want to get clear answers, you must ask clear questions.
