It would’ve been interesting if they could’ve had a longer run. SVG fell victim to restart shenanigans.

When did it start on Fox 8? I never saw it. And didn’t even try after halfway.

Least you were able to DVR it. Fox 8 fricked all of south Louisiana. Had to watch on the app. Will have to watch replay on YouTube once they upload.

That race reminded me of a Ron White line…
“We’re traveling at half the speed of smell. We got passed by a kite!”

frick you Fox 8 and Gayle! They had an option to show the NASCAR race or the local news and regular programing. They switched it over to bounce TV that you must have rabbit ears for I live in an area that I cannot pick up Baton Rouge or New Orleans stations via antenna very disappointed.
I came here to say this. They do not give a frick about nascar. Not a second of nascar on Fox 8 tonight. Judge Judy, local news, and jeopardy on instead.
frick this channel. Gayle can leave NOLA. Don’t care what she takes with her.

I’d rather the clash be on a local short track that nascar could build up. It’s an exhibition after all.
However, if they opted to kill it, I’d be fine too.

Eh. I don’t think street courses are gimmicks. They’re used all over the world. They’re relevant to the international audience. Plus I don’t know how many more purpose built road courses are getting built.
It’s a way to bring a track to an area that doesn’t have one. I think the lakefront airport would actually make a great race track.
I’d like both options. But I question whether Laguna Seca is wide enough. But trans am and imsa run there. So maybe?

I do too. Been wanting that to happen. I just don’t want to see the number of road races dwindle. I loathed the schedules growing up. Always liked the road races more.

Maybe I’m in the minority but why are road courses in nascar so polarizing? Those are my favorite events. I watch a ton of road racing, but still prefer nascar to stay an oval-dominated series. Why do people look at 5-6 road courses as too many? Hell some say 2 is too many. I don’t understand that.
I will die on the hill that 6 is the right number.

They’re both trash. But at least Deegan had success at lower levels.

I love the road races. I’m not a fan of a bunch of tracks getting two dates. Some I agree with. But tracks like Phoenix, Kansas, Darlington, Bristol don’t need two dates in my opinion.

Charlotte’s second date going back to the oval. While I’m glad they finally did it, I don’t like going from 6 road races down to 4, and not a single one is after July 1. I think this move could’ve waited a year.
I figured this was inevitable, but I’d like to see some ovals lose a second date and put some road races back on. Like Phoenix and maybe Kansas.
I actually think Iowa is on the chopping block this year.

That pissed me off last year. SVG wins the roval by 15 seconds. 5th win as a rookie. And no one cared. We’re watching the battle for 8th instead.

I’m looking forward to SVG taking another step on ovals.
Plus I’m anticipating the SVG/Zilisch battles on the road courses will be fun.

Cup driver changes
Trackhouse:
Shane van Gisbergen changes from #88 to #97
Connor Zilisch replaces Daniel Suarez. #99 is gone. Zilisch will drive the #88.
Spire:
Daniel Suarez replaces Justin Haley in the #7 car. Haley will drive for Kaulig’s truck team, which will run Ram.

I’m still team full season. The chase is a step in the right direction, but I still don’t like it. They did increase the points for a win. I’d argue they didn’t increase it enough. 20 points should be it. If they did an f1 like increase for the top ten, it would be better. It would push the guys near the front to go harder. If I’m in 4th, why push for 3rd if I don’t think I can win?

Plane crash in Statesville. It was Biffle’s plane. I’ve seen some reports that state biffle and his family were on it.
Hope they’re wrong….

A race isn’t official until halfway. Why give points at some arbitrary number that’s less than halfway?
Halfway points to the top ten should replace stage points.

This feels like jimmies last title. Irrelevant for most of the title race. Only to get the final restart right and win the title.
I’m sure somewhere mamba smith is walking around like Conor mcgregor.
