That's out of left field, I wasn't even sure if that track still existed. Hopefully it's a placeholder date the fairgrounds can take over, lol yeah right this is NASCAR, we can't have fun things.

Dover owns Nashville SS, that's why. It's the same way SMI tracks will switch dates all the time. edit: Dover Downs Motorsports Inc or whatever the gently caress, they own Gateway and Memphis too

"No, the cookie cutter which hasn't held a race in nine years and is concrete for reasons." Outlaw Mailman posted:That's out of left field, I wasn't even sure if that track still existed. Hopefully it's a placeholder date the fairgrounds can take over, lol yeah right this is NASCAR, we can't have fun things. Marcus Smith indicated the Fairgrounds are still in play but it's the dickering over the MLS stadium which has fouled it up. That said, the other track gets a four-year deal, so I'm not getting my hopes up (unless they're still hoping to run like a Wednesday night show there which would be siiiiiiiiiiiick).

Yeah I couldn't give a gently caress about NASCAR going there and would be much more inclined to watch them race at the fairgrounds, but hey at least it's one racetrack coming back to life, and hopefully paves the way for an Indycar return too.

Going to Nashville is obviously for cross-promotion with the country music business and not any qualities of the track. Jr has implied as much.

So this is thing: https://www.destructoid.com/unreleased-days-of-thunder-nes-game-recovered-after-30-years-593051.phtml A year before Days of Thunder came out on the NES, there was another version of it in development that was nearly complete but never known about until it was recently uncovered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63G9PrLLo_U Neat!

Well, this first segment in the return to racing has had some pretty good tracks. I hope everybody enjoys it because, well, here's what's next:quote:Pocono Raceway: I'm glad NASCAR gave up on its Fourth of July tradition in a year in which the race would have landed on the 4th for a Sunday afternoon race that starts at 4 goddamn pm.

I'm surprised they are bothering with the All Star race. Seems silly to waste time on a non-points race when who knows what'll happen in the future. Aren't people still predicting an uptick and possibly another quarantine situation this fall?

Getting all the bad tracks out of the way in case they can have fans at some races in the fall... But drat, that July 11-23rd stretch is pretty crazy... 4 different tracks in 4 entirely different locations in 12 days... plus these are going to be a lot of hot as gently caress races in a row for the drivers, pit crews and the cars to deal with.

Pocono is good in person and dreadful on tv. Especially with stages now turning it into a road race strategy wise. I wish stages would go away. It’s pretty much eliminated green flag pit stops.

Ungratek posted:Pocono is good in person and dreadful on tv. Especially with stages now turning it into a road race strategy wise. We've had some decent Pocono races in recent history haven't we? Or am I just thinking of all the rain shortened ones that end at like the 350 mile mark and everybody is going for it? I agree with getting rid of stages. It has all but taken pit strategy out of it. Every stage, if it runs full green, is basically a 1 stop run on either fuel, tires or both. So every team basically goes to the halfway point, or the second the pit window opens, and pits. The only strategy is what the 2 car usually does, run until they can't anymore hoping for a caution. When you know there is a caution coming in 40 laps it just makes everything so much easier.

Ungratek posted:I wish stages would go away. It’s pretty much eliminated green flag pit stops. Better idea: Keep stages for points-paying purposes. Eliminate the known caution, stage break, and restart. Strategy would become a lot more interesting in the early parts of the race. And it'd bring back the Gatorade $10k halfway bonus vibe, but at two points during the race.

big nipples big life posted:This is good but for it to work nascar couldn't go back to phantom debris cautions to get restarts. NASCAR needs restarts now to force close action when everyone is on the same strategy, nearly the same equipment. If you have different chunks of the field doing different strategies for different reasons at different points of the race, at least up until halfway or so, close action happens more naturally thereby eliminating most of the need for it.
