    Time for NASCAR to End its Season in September

    Just three? Christ, it's more like 10 except that for 7 of them, there was absolutely no method by which a national champion could be reliably determined on the field. I would rather the season end in September if it meant a season long points format instead of a playoff intended to try and...

    Next Gen Chassis Usage in Non Cup Racing

    Also, I actually did deal with the question of "How many drivers skip ARCA?" two years ago and the answer is "most of them at least as full time drivers": https://racing-forums.com/threads/arca-hasnt-mattered-for-years.75848/ Martin Truex Jr. never even made a single ARCA start. Clearly a huge...

    Next Gen Chassis Usage in Non Cup Racing

    100+ cars showed up to Knoxville this month; in no universe is Dirtvision getting larger viewership than FS1. ROI exists and ARCA has way less of it than the Trucks while costing not all that different. I mean, you yourself pointed out that ARCA has competitive pit stops, and we all know the...

    Next Gen Chassis Usage in Non Cup Racing

    I don't think it's at all laughable. Why do you think there are 30+ trucks entered at every race and <20 at most ARCA ones? Also, who gets to skip ARCA ever? NASCAR can just force guys to run it for licensing purposes. Why wouldn't they? ARCA income is NASCAR income.

    Next Gen Chassis Usage in Non Cup Racing

    They don't race dirt in any of the three major NASCAR touring series, so while I appreciate it being different, it is meaningless as preparation for Cup, Xfinity, or Trucks. Similarly I don't know that there's anything about ARCA that makes it a superior option for getting seat time vs. a super...

    Next Gen Chassis Usage in Non Cup Racing

    When NASCAR moved to the COT, that broke the relationship between NASCAR Cup and ARCA having basically identical car specifications. To my knowledge, ARCA is still essentially a Gen 4 series with spec motors from Ilmor or Yates and something approximating a BOP for cars that still hang metal...

    2026 NASCAR Schedule

    There's nothing here for me to be particularly critical of. I don't even care that much about Watkins Glen being in May. You've got dirt tracks in PA that generally start up the last weekend of February/middle of March. A beautiful spring race at the Glen sounds terrific. I also love Trucks at...

    2025 World of Outlaws

    I get the sense that Tony might field a car still based on the other noise. I'll say this: I think there was a lost opportunity to sell some shirts and do some merch up the remainder of this year while also freeing up Donny to, if he desired, jump ship elsewhere as part of silly season (or...

    2025 World of Outlaws

    Watching Dirtrackr Daily last night and a few items came out: -Tony fired Donny -Not only did he fire Donny, apparently he (and others) decided to spend the last couple of weeks trying to convince James McFadden that he really wants to live in America and race for them full time -Donny wants to...

    2025 World of Outlaws

    I dunno how many drivers are reeling off 20+ win seasons these days TBF. I know enough to know that drivers as diverse as Stevie Smith to Dave and Dale Blaney ran sprints well past being full time and on the road and we're competitive and I expect something like that from Schatz. Or maybe he...

    2025 World of Outlaws

    He might not sell that but he did sell his other two tracks. Sounds like he's going to run Pro Stock next year too.

    2025 World of Outlaws

    Almost like it wasn't the Ford motor this whole time and that was jettisoned because it was easier than tossing Donny.

    Hearing rumors Donny Schatz got the hook and is being replaced with Kerry Madsen.

    2026 Chili Bowl

    I've had a certified letter from the American Sprint Car Series sitting in my USPS Informed Delivery expected inbox for about a month now. Ready to sign for my tix and promptly spend the following 6 months keeping extremely close track of their physical location in my home.

    2025 High Limit Sprint Car Racing

    Bayston being shown the door isn't much of a surprise. I think I've even said it here before that you can't have a team that's contending night in and night out and then flip it and they are barely making the feature after a driver change and that driver survives.

    Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

    Allow me to pause for a moment: first of all, what's bolded in the first quote box is precisely what has led me to stop watching. It has been obvious to me for years, it has been stated by teams and drivers for years to be true, and yet consistently I find myself in arguments about whether or...

    Cup RACE thread --- Indy

    I am happy for Bubba. He's not gonna ever be my favorite (hooking guys at superspeedways is a huge nono for me) but I appreciate that his very presence is a litmus test of who is garbage and who is at least bordering on a decent human. He deals with a lot I'm sure and as such this is nice to see.

    2025 High Limit Sprint Car Racing

    Thorson is running 3 & 4 like it's a pavement track. If he doesn't break, I don't think anyone has anything for him tonight.

    2025 USAC

    I recommend going over to TMez's Youtube channel and seeking out the posts. He has one from yesterday that is...interesting. Also can't likely post the text here because there is a lot of adult language.
