Hi all, I used to be on here on the NASCAR Forums as one of the poster decrying the decline of the sport with planned cautions etc. True to my word, I gave up on NASCAR but have been watching IndyCar this year and find it to be refreshingly "real" racing. After following all season, I'm going...

Consistent good crowds at Vegas led to a second race, Phoenix generally has good attendance for it's two races, and heard here that California is likely to sell out. It seems like a different picture than Nascar faces in the rest of the country, even if it's anecdotal evidence. Is the market...

I instigated a debate on this topic in the race thread which was getting us off topic. But, I'm curious, why everyone seems to be so one-sided in their opinion that drivers should be as comfortable in the car as possible. In particular, I'm referring to the fans and so-called 'air-conditioning.'...

As much as many here (including me) complain about NASCAR, I still miss it quite a bit when it's gone. It's depressing to think about the next 12 consecutive Sundays with no racing. What do you guys do to fill the time? Football? Yardwork that has been building up for 10 months? Actually...

It seems that the 4 and the 41 have taken a rather inexplicable step back during the Chase. Harvick can't seem to get into the top 5 consistently like he has all season, and Busch has been pretty mediocre to bad all Chase long. Any chance Hendrick is pulling back the quality of what they send...

NASCAR has a rule that all drivers must make a 100% effort in every race. It seems quite clear that 3/4 JGR cars didn't do this today, even at the end of the race. Shouldn't they be penalized? If nascar wants fall Talladega to not be a joke they shouldn't let this stand.

TRL, I know the earlier thread was moved to video games, but I would hope the first legitimate NASCAR game in several years can warrant discussion on the main board. Anyone have it yet? My main hope is that it is better than Eutechnyx efforts. Can't wait to play after work...

Michigan was my first new track in quite a while, but it got me thinking about my bucket list item of visiting all the NASCAR tracks. So far, I've been to: Atlanta Bristol Charlotte Daytona Darlington Michigan Talladega I still have a ways to go, but I'm sure some folks on here can put me to...

This article says Uber is implementing self-driving technology in Pittsburgh this month: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2016-08-18/uber-s-first-self-driving-fleet-arrives-in-pittsburgh-this-month-is06r7on Self-driving cars are no longer some far off pipe-dream. I wonder what this will...

My wife is leaving me before the she starts teaching again in the fall for a "girls cruise." So I'm thinking about doing something she wouldn't: drive from Milwaukee to Michigan for the day for the Michigan race. Anyone have any advice about the track? I'm cheap, so is there good free parking...

I personally have enjoyed the earlier start times. Also, Pocono @ 3 means any weather delay will lead to a darkness shortened race? http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2016/7/27/2017-nascar-schedule-race-start-times-sprint-cup-xfinity-camping-world-truck.html

I realize Indy is the race at Road America this weekend, but I'm hoping the mods will allow this since there hasn't been an IndyCar race for a long time at the track. I decided to check out my first Indy car race this weekend at road America. Not only is it my first IndyCar race, it's my first...

Seeing Rick Mears on tv this morning got me thinking about Casey and his lone win in the Coke 600. It also got me wondering how he manages to stick around so long as a driver who is mediocre at best? Take a look at his career stats: http://racing-reference.info/driver/mearsca01 1 career win...

I was surprised to see a NASCAR headline in the Milwaukee paper today: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/autoracing/alan-kulwicki-has-backing-for-hall-of-fame-selection-b99730302z1-380573531.html What do you guys think? Is Alan deserving of enshrinement? On the one hand, he has only five career...

Next to NR2003, I would say NASCAR Heat is the best NASCAR game ever made. Hopefully this game will live up to it's standards! http://www.nascarheat.com/

Fairly good article on Jayski: http://www.speedwaymedia.com/?p=109297 As the tailend of the millenial generation at age 30, I actually think this article has some good suggestions. The inability to use wifi at the racetrack is a big deterrent to young people, particularly women who want to...
