You have to compare it to the advertisement for the Indy 500 that's why:

And a Confederate flag.

That ad makes me almost slightly more likely to consider driving 4 hours for what will no doubt be an awful race. Then I remember that IRP is gone, replaced by an accompanying, even-worse-than-the-400 undercard, and it's gone.

I just saw that pic, and I'm glad I did because now it's clear the seats I was going to buy I, in fact, do not want because it looks like you're looking through the grandstands to see the frontstretch.

There is really no doubt that Wednesday will be the best day of the Oval racing season. I have my dvr set to record this all evening in case I get hit by a truck and can't watch this awesomeness live. Last year I missed the last several laps due to dvr stupidity not this year end 2hrs after.

The race will be awesome. And I'm going.

I'd forgotten that there was a Top 30 Rule in Trucks until I saw that highlight and read the format of the race, though. Good job, NASCAR...

e- Brian France on SiriusXM:

quote:

“In every decision that we have ever made that is important, the more input, the more people we heard from the better results. That will never change in the business model of NASCAR because good ideas come from all over the place. That’s the strength we have.’’

Re-iterating what was said in the LA Times:

quote:

In 2007, France rolled out a new, safer NASCAR race car dubbed the "Car of Tomorrow," developed largely without collaboration with the auto manufacturers and teams and drivers. The car proved unwieldy to drive and didn't provide enough of the passing NASCAR fans love. Drivers such as Kyle Busch openly blasted the car's design.

"I was arrogant at that time that whatever we did was going to work," France said. "I learned a great lesson. That started my collaboration with the teams, team owners, the drivers in a way I hadn't done."

quote:

"We have a long history of doing business by listening to everyone in the garage," he said. "It's worked well and each owner will continue to have input."

We've always worked with and had a great relationship with the teams, except for the time I created my very own racecar because I said it was going to work and therefore it was going to work, but it didn't exactly work like I wanted it to.

Looks like somebody's taking his 120 foot yacht on a cruise up Denial River.

That wing was the best part. Anybody who knew the least bit about aerodynamics knew that thing was shithouse, and it took until the Newman flip at Daytona for people to question it.

Geez, that car just did a front flip blowover which has happened like, never, think it was the wing?

Here's something stupid to keep you level so you appreciate the non-stupid moments:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nascar-from-the-marbles/here-it-is--the-worst-nascar-sponsorship-ad-campaign-ever-153840605.html

It's a TV commercial, where a girl asks Kyle Larson how he takes care of his rear end after he goes.

It is a real commercial.

Seriously, how the hell did Eldora go from sold out in January to about 1,000 reserved seats still available night before? Other than the fact that they're running it on a god drat Wednesday night.

On further review, it probably doesn't help that the nearest decently-sized center of population (Dayton) is an hour away.

I think one reason (other than Weds night and being in the middle of nowhere Ohio) is that last year was the first year and everyone wanted to be there and see it.

Brickyard is one of the he bottom 10 races of the season for me. The amount of lovely races that track has produced has made me totally turned off.

It actually went well. We had a good time. The baby actually enjoyed watching for awhile and didn't mind the noise. I especially enjoyed walking onto the track after the race.
