Didn’t Rockingham and North Wilkesboro get millions of tax dollars?

Southern California is a hub of car culture and there are multiple racing events that do well there, the Long Beach Grand Prix and the Pomona drag racing are good examples. Maybe NASCAR needs to look at its marketing. There’s very clearly a market there.

It looks like a unique track that should produce some interesting racing. I am interested in the strategy aspect of setting up a car here. Turns 1-2 are sweeping oval turns while the rest of the course would behave like a road course.

Busch is kind of stuck now. With the 3 charter limit, I don’t see a top tier seat opening up for him any more soon.

I agree The car needs to be hard to drive. There’s a reason why Darlington was so fun to watch. Driving a stock car shouldn’t be a cake walk.

Some idiots are digging in

I am not a fan of the points reset before the finale either and it is unfair when a guy loses a championship because of someone else’s stupidity.

Have you ever posted anything positive about the sport? Seems like you lost interest years ago and are continuing to watch out of habit.

Mixture of all three. You have to perform well enough in the regular season to make it to the playoff and accumulate enough playoff points to advance through the playoffs (or win at the right time, which is also performing). You then have to win in the Championship Four. Like any endeavor in...

If you can’t perform when it counts, you don’t deserve to be a champion.

I have run the math on this a few times for previous seasons. With how playoff points work, it’s almost impossible for a top team to fall out in a single race wild card. I would also do a 1 race wild card and three 3 race rounds. Keep the 16 car playoffs with win and you’re in for the top 30 in...

Buying ARCA was NASCAR’s mistake here. ARCA WAS a separate series where you could sell old Cup cars and equipment. ARCA’s existence was a good defense to an antitrust claim.

I have no problem with your views, you are entitled to them.

Your beliefs are reflected in your posts. I am only responding to what you have said here.

Judges are regularly asked to weigh in on areas where they have no technical expertise. That’s why lawyers have expert witnesses. It’s their job to educate the judge and jury. As much as SOI believes it, auto racing isn’t some mystic unicorn. Judges regularly see more complex stuff.

Winning that many races gives you enough playoff points that you could do both of those things and still be fine. Aside from the winner take all final four, this system does well at recognizing regular season success.

With how this system rewards wins with playoff points, if you can win 8+ races and miss the final four then you choked it away.

If you are the first person to take that checkered flag, you are a NASCAR Cup Series winner, no asterisk need.

I wouldn’t mind seeing this at all tracks where it’s feasible. Strategy is a big part of racing and I feel like a lot of fans forget that. If you don’t want strategy in racing, just throw them all in spec cars with NASCAR provided pit crews and mandatory laps when they have to pit.
