I'm disappointed that they have left baseball out. Maybe they will get around to it next year. Maybe bring a bat Friday.

Well stage breaks are kind of like the 7th inning stretch. We just need a snazy song for the fans to sing at each break...if that's not stretching it too much.
 
It's Wednesday afternoon and I'm VERY surprised no one here has organized some form of game around this here at RF (yet).
 
Of all the gimmicky stuff. This is the one that really doesn't bother me.

Did all you complain about the No Bull 5? That was a race inside of a race also...

Never paid any attention to it.

They talked about it plenty within races from what I remember, so that's strange

I don't remember it. But not important enough to look it up. But I didn't do digger either.

How long have you been watching to not remember? It was from 1998 to 2002(even before that they had the Winston Million but my memory a bit more fuzzy on it)

It had Daytona 500, Coke 600, Brickyard 400, Southern 500, and Winston 500. Top 5 from Daytona qualified for the chance to win a Million in the 600, if one of them 5 win they win the Million, and then the that top 5 would have the same chance at the Brickyard, and so fourth....I find it hard to believe you don't remember this. Unless you are a new fan.

I have 64 kilobytes of onboard RAM. 56k are needed for the Heart-Lung-Stomach operating system, which is technically still under development. That leaves 8k for apps. 4k of that is filled with bird IDs; another 2k is '70s and '80s Playmates. That leaves 2k for everything else.

Sorry, what were we talking about?

In that time frame I was running a business and working many Sundays a long way from home. If I was able to watch a race it was a struggle not to fall asleep. You of course living out of moms basement had plenty of time for those things.

I was born in 91..so I mean... I should be living at home in 1998-2002. But I didn't live with my deadbeat mom. Guess you just keep making yourself look dumb.
 
They basically have the same thing in Xfinity now with the top 5 eligible etc but I don’t think it’s for a million.

So, two races in, is anyone following this?

I was intrigued by it initially and willing to give it a shot; unfortunately, it’s a bit of a bust - at least with the schedule as it was laid out. Too many brackets ‘busted’ after Atlanta has led to a lot of disengagement, from what I’ve seen. Also, besides Bubba vs. Bowman today, it’s been more a war of attrition than any meaningful on-track battles.

I thought who is gullible enough to be swallowing this BS.. They were making a big deal out of Ty Dillion advancing. Hamlin wrecks, and Keselowski wrecks and they act like Ty has done something lol. How stupid can this comparison to stick n ball be. Who are the dumb asses that come up with this stuff?

Yeeeaaa. The big one at Atlanta really blew the whole thing up unfortunately.

It's as I expected. You can pair drivers up on a chart but with 34+ other cars running, it will be rare for a single pair to be competing directly against each other, and impossible for any pair to not be affected by the rest of the pack.
 
I think the Winston Million and the No Bull 5 compared to this bracket are not even on the same spectrum. The Winston Million was about winning the Crown Jewels while the No Bull 5 piggy backed off the most popular races on the schedule at the time but also took,on track criteria that had to be accomplished to qualify participation in whatever No Bull 5 was next. The Bracket was an idea born on a podcast and instituted during the middle of the schedule, no pre requisite on track achievements to qualify it’s like boom we’re doing this. It’s okay I guess, I haven’t really followed it and when it’s shown on screen I just kind of zone out? It hasn’t hooked me in but there in lies the rub, this idea of the bracket wasn’t made to hook me as someone that’s been a life long fan… as always it was made to reel in the newer fan

Lmao I was in 8th grade in 98 and starting my senior year of high school in 2002 so guilty as charged watching races from my parents basement during that time frame. It was the only place I could get peace and quite to where no one could bother me while I watched nascar. Hello fellow basement dweller.

To add to the Ty saga. This week at Sonoma on the last lap, Dillon wrecks and eliminates Bowman on purpose, screams his fool head off like he has done something and like his brother gets congratulations for doing so by his pit. So with two guys who wrecked and he cacksuckerd another he advances to another round. Whoopie what a contest. They don't have enough dirt to bury this mess of a "bright" idea. This goes in the same drawer as fixing races do in the "playoffs".

They probably actually see it as a huge success just based on Bowman wrecking someone to advance last week then getting that favor returned by someone else this week. Expect them to double down next year, good or bad. :crash:
 
Ty Dillon vs JHN. Ty(ler) Reddick vs Ty Gibbs.

Obviously the whole system is rigged in favor of drivers named Ty. JHN is toast. I like Reddick but it would be most appropriate for this mess to finish at Indy with Gibbs and Dillon smearing each other all over Turn 1, and the winner decided by which car gets towed away last.
