Oh I see now. You are a NASCAR shill. That's cool. Is this like the @NASCAR Apologist account?He's funny! Your definition of great is vastly different from mine.

Short term memory issue? Kennseth/Larson, Elliot/Larson ? Any of that ring a bell or do I have to go find youtube clips?

Dover had some of the best racing with previous packages, so it's not the track.

Actually at this point, I would let drivers, owners, and anyone else complain about the package. Fans love to watch that drama, and then Nascar has an excuse to change the package mid season.

The one thing I notice that is different, and not just at Dover, is that there is basically no slipping and sliding around anymore. The cars are planted to the track and it seems a lot easier to catch the car if it gets turned sideways by contact with another car.

There are several possibilities; 1. The "slope" of the other cars could be an optical illusion and aren't really as "sloped" as they appear. For example, the flat panel only extends maybe 2/3rds of the width of the car while the headlights are extremely sloped. Compare that to the camaro which...

I think Blaney does and I think his podcast helps. Jones and Suarez don't. Suarez has at least upped his game and is a lot more vocal at SHR than he was at JGR.

Once this goes through, NASCAR will try to buy the rest of the tracks from Bruton Smith. If he objects, NASCAR will move to sell the whole thing to a major multinational company like Liberty bought F1 and Bruton will be out in the cold. The new company will either buy him out or charge him a...

Interesting. Wonder when we will hear about this? Will it be used at Talladega or do we have to wait til Dover? I can only imagine what this is going to look like too, with a name like "tail extension panel". Is this a piece of lexan hanging off the back of the car or are we extending the length...

Just wanted to drop a Congrats to Jimmie Johnson on his Boston Marathon run. What an accomplishment! 3 hours and 9 minutes. I think Jimmie ran 26 miles in about the same amount of time it takes cup cars to go 500 miles around Daytona...

Are they adding traction compound this weekend? Hard tires, night race, do not help the passing situation.

My question is, why do we need a doubleheader? I thought that's why we have Xfinity and the Truck Series?

Especially since 14 of the 16 drivers are already set. So now Daytona 2020 will focus on where Paul Menard, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, and Erik Jones are located at all times.

Why did we move Daytona to the final race before the playoffs? Daytona doesn't need help with viewers and that final race was actually pretty exciting at Indy, esp since Indy has troubles keeping the racing interesting. Hopefully by then the high downforce package is long gone.

I would rather they start reconfiguring the cookie cutters into smaller tracks. i.e. if they ever decide to repave Chicago, just reconfigure the whole track into a Rockingham replica. Turn Texas into an original Bristol configuration. Bank the turns of NHMS to 15 or 20 degrees. Make Kansas the...

Am I the only one that doesn't understand the purpose of a doubleheader? I know people are making the conclusion that one of the races would be held on the road course, but what if it is just 2 races on the triangle? To me a doubleheader at Pocono is a death sentence for the track. Because...

Interesting read. Unfortunately, his conclusions are incorrect, or he just ignores the amount of downforce is lost when the trailing car approaches the lead car. More downforce isn't the answer, but less downforce is better for passing because the aerodynamic grip "curve" is flatter at lower...

If they insist on keeping this aero package can we at least limit it to the 1.5 tracks? Those races are normally boring anyway, and having this high downforce package makes them slightly less boring on restarts. Then, on the rest of the tracks, let's take the rear spoiler down to 1 inch. Does...

It will probably be the same outcome in the long run, but you never know. I was always a fan of the legends cars too but everyone complained they were too hard to drive so now, no one drives them. Basically, it's NASCAR or nothing. I think the IMSA/WEC/GT series on the road side will continue to...

I remember Ernie winning that last Michigan race in '97. He was later replaced by Kenny Irwin Jr. who later passed away when his throttle got stuck at NHMS. The exact same thing happened to Adam Petty a year or two later. Really sad stories because both drivers were really talented. Adam Petty...
