    Johali's Rate the Championship Cup race

    I felt like I was watching some old video game where you had 4 human players and 32 vehicles that were just traffic (with the difficulty turned down). I want to see everyone race, not just the top 4. If they want to race just the top 4, put them on a smaller track all by themselves, as an...

    TRACTION COMPOUND!!!

    I like the unpredictability of it. But it shouldn't be used if the expectation is that it is going to be good racing at that particular track. I think it was worth a shot Sunday.

    Matt DiBenedetto appreciation thread

    All I know is, Nascar needs more drivers like DiBenedetto. He at least shows personality and emotion. Enough drivers like that will draw fans in. Outside of a few like Bubba Wallace and Ross Chastain, a lot of these kids are just so ... boring. I watch Xfinity fairly often but I'd have a hard...

    Rate The Cup Race: Daytona 2

    8.5 I wasn't sure how it would end up going during the day, but it turned out to be a great race. I didn't mind Haley winning, although I was pulling for Kurt.

    Drivers you used to hate but now respect

    I remember having an irrational dislike of Mark Martin back in the day. Then after he faded away and made his comeback with Hendrick, he was one of my favorites. I don't even know why I didn't like him.

    Where are they now?

    Ward Burton still turns up here and there doing stuff with his wildlife foundation. Hermie Sadler is on the radio right often, and possibly still hanging out on low-budget wrestling circuits.

    Due To Rich Toyota Supply Of Drivers, Busch Sends Warning To Gilliland To Pick Up Pace

    That's almost exactly what I thought. You need a thick skin. I have to assume that KB has already had this discussion with him quite a bit in private, and this is his way of bringing some more heat on him. I don't see it being any worse than drivers calling out their pit crews on TV and such as...

    Cup RACE thread --- Las Vegas

    I started watching the video and thought "Yeah...He's just like me....this is how I'd be....just want to be miserable and take it easy.....ugh, what does this woman want me to do now....." Then, I quickly realized that Kurt's is nothing like mine!

    Rate The Race: Michigan 2

    This was the first race I've watched in a long time due to dropping DISH to save money. So I watched it via a stream, so no fast forwarding. I like the Diffy guy. 6

    This is so bizarre. I barely bothered to set my field last week...I think I remembered with enough time to swap my drivers. And I managed to win. This week I completely forgot to do anything, and luckily Truex won again, and so did I. I'm not going to push my luck forgetting it another week.

    Where Would NASCAR Be Today?

    If the old system remained in place, with just a tweak to the scoring so that wins became a lot more important, like everyone else said, the core fan would have remained and the increased importance of winning would have possibly counteracted some of the COT's problem.

    Get over it

    I'm not sure that even with the right marketing and great racing, that these places would ever draw a huge crowd, or even one as large as they did in the 90s. It would take a big change in the economy of the areas the tracks are in. But it just seems to me that these small tracks should make for...

    Who was the worst driver to win a Cup race

    Lake Speed and Phil Parsons both won a single race in the 80's. I'd still go with Menard though.

    Daytona Day Is Trash

    I just saw the video and loved his comment about how Austin Dillon would never push his own car out of the garage.

    These kids and their Sampsons jokes.

    Ty Dillon

    The baby announcements and gender reveal parties are out of control. It's not just rich folks doing it; it's pretty much anybody that can be on social media, or have the equivalent in real-world friends/family to impress. It's like a race to outdo each other. One couple has a cake that is cut...

    I had JJ benched at Bristol, and still managed to actually win one this week.

    I didn't have a chance to check my drivers before the race began. My guys (Elliott, Ky Busch, Kahne, and Jones) managed to somehow start in positions 33, 34, 35, and 36. Kahne even managed to finish worse than that.

    Interesting article about NASCAR tech

    This is a pretty good article about technology in NASCAR, from The Verge which is rather surprising for that site. I read some things I didn't know. I thought at first it was just going to be about the stages, but there's some other neat info in there...

    Bonehead of the week: Atlanta

    I was thinking Newman's battery box up until Harvick got caught for speeding.
