6 to me is perfect. It’s big enough for everyone to take seriously. But small enough to be less than 17% of the schedule. I like street courses because you can really be creative.
St. Pete would be great for cup. The length of San Diego is fine I think. I’m not sure what they could do to shorten it though.

Apparently I kicked a hornets nest saying Zane smith is far better than Noah Gragson. Who would yall choose if yall had to pick?
It’s Zane 10/10 for me. Lol

I did find Chicago put on some good racing. Layout on paper looks blah, but was good on track.

I do think the base race feature is one of the smartest things nascar could’ve done. They can skip a ton of red tape. Plus natural way to get into untapped markets, too.
And selfishly, I hope they bring one to Keesler in Biloxi. Or the lakefront airport in NOLA.

I think street courses are the way of the future. You won’t see many new permanent built circuits. Especially considering the value of real estate. It’s better to eat the cost of putting up and taking down a temporary circuit.
More race tracks are closing and being demolished for housing and data centers, unfortunately.

Me too. I’ve always enjoyed them. Why are they so polarizing though?

Us gearheads are a dying breed. Generations coming up are fascinated with electric.
Gimme a loud and powerful motor.

What’s yall opinions on road courses? I like them and wish there were still 6 on the schedule. Been going at a bunch of mouth breathers on Facebook saying left turns only.
If nascar was only left turns, I’m not sure I’d still watch.

Free over the air helps.
And they know what channel it’s on every single week too.

I mean Jerry punch was far better on pit road than in the booth. So is Jamie little.
You mean Byron got game? I don’t see bowman there.
frick Jeff Gordon is short lmao
Hocevar’s date looks like a mannequin from JCPenney

Mike Riley at Nebraska
Gary Andersen at Oregon state
Both of these were awful puzzling to me.

I thought Harris would’ve been moved out for 26. Alan to the 48 seems logical.
Give Chase Alan wall from o Reilly or an engineer from Larson or Byron.
I think Blake Harris gets more hate than deserved. Bowman is not the driver he thought he was signing up with. Bowman once he injured his back was not the same guy. Plus I’m not sure how good bowman is with communicating Feedback.
Harris and SVG will be a good pair (I think) because both guys study data. Both know the technology. I think Shane knew the car better than Doran by end of 26.

I mean my guy had a rough day. But the chase talk is exhausting.
I remember the 1997 finale. Gordon, Jarrett, and Martin were vying for the title.
And if i remember correctly, they were talking a bit about who could finish 10th. Which I think was schrader and benson.
Chase is overwhelming if your guy is not in it.

The flaw with a one race winner take all is that shite is too random. A guy can win the first 35 races. Blow an engine in race 36 and not win the title.
Absolutely maddening that people actually wanted this shite.

I’m gonna say better. Because stellantis will be motivated to support them.
Once Kaulig announced ram Chevy was ready to put them out to pasture.

quote:
Get that car racing is different but there is no other sport where this happens.
You said it yourself. Racing is different.
The only proper way to crown a champion is totality of points.
I’m not a chase proponent. But it’s far better than the playoff facade of the last 12 years.
If people choose to not watch because someone clinched early, then it is what it is.
Not much different than someone not watching the Super Bowl or World Series because their team wasn’t in it.
quote:
I don’t see young people embracing “consistency” to determine a champion.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and less tolerant, but the opinions of the generation that is pushing the radical political bullshite in this country are irrelevant to me. Our sport has changed enough. It needed to adapt. But introducing the Chase led to a lot of shite 22 years ago.

What is wrong with someone clinching early?

Like I asked before…. Who would be a better option. OD has shown me more in 6 months than Brian France, Jim France, and Steve Phelps showed me in 20+ years.
Let’s give the guy more to show whether he is the choice.
