    General Sim Racing Discussion

    So this is coming to iracing! I haven't been a member for quite some time now, due to family issues, but I might have to sign up again to try this out. I always loved the old papyrus off-road racing sim. Says it will be in the June release but my guess is christmas at the earliest unless iracing...

    Interest builds around possible changes to NASCAR schedule

    As Phoenix resident I would love to have the final race here, but the core of the NASCAR community lives on the south east coast and I think that's where the season finale should be. I think Charlotte, Atlanta, or Daytona make sense to have the final race at. Homestead is ok, but maybe a little...

    so why did nascar seem cooler in the 80's? broadcast was way better!!

    Yeah it could definitely be better if they weren't running down pit road, and if jamie little were doing it, but i like the concept of walking pit road before the race.

    so why did nascar seem cooler in the 80's? broadcast was way better!!

    I love watching that old broadcast and seeing how different it was back then. They show an in car camera shot of DW (around 22:07) and to see the difference in the equipment from then to today, and how open the "****pit" was back then. Truly remarkable! The style of racing back then at Daytona...

    so why did nascar seem cooler in the 80's? broadcast was way better!!

    Agree, the broadcasts today are terrible when compared to the broadcasts of the 80's and 90's. I still want them to walk pit road more often. As much as i'm not a huge fan of Michael Waltrip, I enjoy his walk down pit road and wish he would do it much slower. It's cool to see what is going on...

    What Do you Think of the New Package?

    LOL, Don't think it can happen in a race with a restrictor plate at a track that isn't named Daytona or Talladega? Better check again! https://www.racing-reference.info/race/2000_Dura_Lube_300_Sponsored_by_Kmart/W

    What Do you Think of the New Package?

    NASCAR got extremely lucky yesterday. They wanted pack racing and didn't get it, but the fact that they can't make in-car track bar adjustments saved the day, otherwise I think Harvick would have led every lap yesterday. Clean air is definitely king once again. As teams get more experience with...

    NASCAR K&N Dirt Racing at Las Vegas

    Why aren't they showing this kind of racing on Thursday nights on NBC/FOX?

    Favorite races you have been to

    Wow this was fun thinking of all the races that I have been to, most of which were at Phoenix, but still a lot of good memories. 2016 Phoenix Fall Race - Bowman filled in for Dale Jr and killed it all day until the GWC and Kenseth fell asleep at the wheel and caused a huge pileup. Lagano went...

    will NASCAR ever run a street circuit and if yes, where?

    That sounds like a historical track night, i.e. North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, etc. Trouble with this is that the these particular tracks are in terrible shape and to spend that amount of money to get them into good shape might not be worth it.

    will NASCAR ever run a street circuit and if yes, where?

    I think that would be a good thing for NASCAR to have one weekend that goes to a different track every year even if it is an exhibition race. Make it a race in the middle of summer. A street circuit in NY one year, then Pikes Peak Raceway in CO, then something in Seattle, etc. It should be held...

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    The fact that NASCAR exists because of stock cars used to bootleg booze isn't evidence enough? "Single-purpose vehicles designed and engineered to race" is what F1 is. They have the best engineering teams in the world. The problem is that they might as well be fighter planes because the racing...

    Jamie McMurray Appreciation Thread

    I would love to see this also! I wouldn't mind seeing him in a prototype either.

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    Yeah I was thinking that too, but in the modern age you would think we would be able to find a way around this by now. I would also think that this would be a safety item manufacturers might want to incorporate into their road cars if they ever figured out a viable solution. I just keep going...

    Jamie McMurray Appreciation Thread

    I'm a little disappointed in NASCARs response to Jamie McMurray retiring this year. Not even a post race interview with him? He started in the back and raced his way to the front, leading the Daytona 500 with 20 laps to go. That's a heck of a way to go out! Not to mention he finished in front of...

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    I thought I remember reading that a long time ago when Dodge was first coming back, but I have no link. That would be nice if manufacturers didn't have to enter all three series but I suspect the truck series would go belly up then. I feel like the Xfinity series now has absolutely no identity...

    I would love to see side view mirrors and a production looking body! What about actual doors on the car? Do we really still need to get into the car through the window?

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    KIA has the Stinger coupe which i think is a good fit with the other muscle cars. But they don't have a truck to support the truck series. Dodge has the RAM and Nissan has the Titan. But who knows what Kia has up it's sleeves going forward. Some new truck they want to promote? Also Honda would...

    What the casual fan thinks of Nascar

    "Other than Michigan you are pretty much stuck with 1.5 mile tri ovals that produce clone yawners." "Clone Yawners" This made me laugh. I'm stealing that one!
