iwentdoodie posted:Top 5 markets all in the east? The thing is I don't fault them for doing a west coast trip at the moment. The weather out there is more consistent than the east so you have less chance of snow coming by and loving the whole thing up. Also helps that those tracks are more southern than most of the East coast tracks, though they could do 'Dega as well. (I like to joke that US racing follows a bell curve, the start and end of the seasons are in the south half of the country, whereas the middle is in the north).

They should build better racetracks in the West.

I think Phoenix is one of the better tracks in the west, which makes perfect sense that they are going to change the configuration for...reasons. I don't think it'll make much difference since it seems like all they are doing is moving the start/finish, but why mess with a good thing?

Restarts are going to be such a mess with most of the field still in the turn when they accelerate. I think mess is exactly what they are going for though.

And while IndyCar races at Phoenix in a month or so, thats about the latest it could possibly be held until late September because otherwise it’s way too hot. Vegas, Phoenix and that desert east of LA are all far too warm in June or July, so this trip makes sense. Logistically works too.

Bring forth the Busch Clash! http://www.espn.com/jayski/cup/2018/story/_/id/22750443 Now bring back good racing next. e- Kevin Harvick could've joined JGR or Cal Wells' team (the Tide 32) instead of RCR: https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/973273757388128256 DW last night on RaceHub said he could've put Jimmiebot in his Truck in the late 90s but passed because he didn't think an off-road driver would be able to transition to NASCAR.

Funny you mention this, I was listening to Jeremy Mayfield's episode on Dinner with Racers and he was considered to be in the 48. Also that episode is amazing of his side of the drug testing, house got raided, and so forth to dunking on Ray Evernham and very specifically Brian France. He even said Dale Earnhardt said to him to save his money because when Brian takes over NASCAR, it will fall apart.

Nascar makes all these rule changes to make races more exciting for viewers when all they really need is some drivers with some personality. Get some good rivalries going on the race tracks. Also, the last 4 races haven't really done poo poo to try to introduce new drivers to the fans to make anyone really give a poo poo. Just Harvick and Busch brothers really.

Man, the contrast of fan experience from NASCAR to IMSA is ridiculous. NASCAR just needs to go full Aussie supercar style, and run half ovals and do poo poo with IMSA the rest of the time. That would be amazing.

His Twitter kind of makes it look like he works for SHR rather than the mothership, but he does not tweet like he is a real bright dude. In other news, Gluck is reporting that anyone who doesn't make a qualifying attempt for the Xfinity race because their car won't pass inspection will have to serve a pass through penalty when the race goes green. Unintended consequence of having less than capacity fields I suppose- what is the point of qualifying if you know you're going to make the race?
