By the way I have discovered my 2017 Nascar wish. Jr wins all races except the last one losing the championship, because he gets DQd for his body repairs taking longer than 5 min.

Yeah but I feel like if JR nation gets boned of a championship because of all these dumb as gently caress point systems and rules that will have the biggest fan impact and voice for Nascar to go back to norma.... hahaha who the gently caress am I kidding they'll make it even more insane.

So who's NASCAR going to fix to win the pole? My bet's on any of these: Dale Jr (back after time off from concussion) Michael Waltrip (last race. lol okay maybe not) Daniel Suarez (first Cup start + Hispanic driver, double good) Erik Jones (fresh young talent, first season, and a new team)

kidcoelacanth posted:Prepare to burn through your Suarez/Jones picks by week 12 Is Ty Dillon going full time, or is he just getting certain races? Even if he were full time I guess that still leaves the C list 9 races short on full time drivers not guaranteed to finish 30th or worse. E: Also I get that Buesher made the chase but how is he on the B list? I wouldn't even want him on the C list if I could avoid it. Ragan, Menard, Stenhouse, and Patrick should all be C list in my opinion as well. It would at least give the C list some options. bigbillystyle fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Feb 17, 2017 |

And Buescher isn't too crazy for b-list, JTG is a pretty decent B-level team at this point and Buescher has a lot of talent

If you look through all the bullshit gimmicks NASCAR is using to try and sell this to people, it's really just two cautions.

It's the caution clock where you get some points. I'll watch Daytona and hope the big one happens at the end of the first segment knocking out 2/3rds of the field because they can't fix the damage in under 5 minutes.

Not sure if it counts as a win for the chase.. and they don't all go down pit road etc.. it's basically the Cup version of the caution clock, with some points attached to it.

A NEW PENALTY STRUCTURE!: If you commit pass interference you will be forced to give up the position and will need to repeat the current down (lap) Personal fouls will result in nascar disabling 2 cylinders for 30 seconds remotely. I know that segmented races aren't NASCARs biggest issue but they way they are going about it I don't think is going to create the excitement they think it is. But maybe I'm wrong.

I'm watching a compilation of the best finishes from last year (there's a lot of good ones!) and it's incredible to hear just how much DW's commentary these days is just incoherent babbling and blatantly playing favorites. Please take him out of the booth, it's awful.

I was watching a clip recently of Johnson's hard it at Daytona a couple years back, where I think Sadler hooks him into the wall, and DW can't stop fawning over Danica's totally out of control car sliding perfectly between two other out of control cars. Sure, it's pretty cool how well it threads the needle, but he's trying to give her credit for it and I'm pretty sure she doesn't even have her hands on the wheel.

My dumbass take is this, and it's somewhat based on what Dale Sr. said back in the day:quote:Don't forget it was Dale Earnhardt who once said, "watch the first 10 laps, mow your yard, take a nap and then watch the last 10 laps", and that was followed a few years later by his son saying: "we need to cut a couple of hours out of these races." Solution? Just make the races shorter. Save for Daytona, Charlotte, Talladega and Darlington? There's no reason to go the length these races do. Could even divide the races up and make them "twin weekends" thus kinda making them more of a fun weekend, and less likely for us to suffer through a garbage XFS race at the same track, on the same weekend.

Things used to happen before the last 50 laps. Cars would get better or worse in long runs on fresh/worn rubber, drivers would slowly get their car dialed in and find pace over 500 miles, people would blow up, or wreck. A lot of the variability and unpredictability is now gone.

Last year's Dover spring race was incredible because it had actually good hard racing for the lead through the entire back half of the race. It's a shame that's such an outlier.
