Tickets in the Splash Zone are $175. There are still big pockets of upper level tickets in the Turn 4 end and some in the Turn 1 end going for $210 a pop. I feel like they were much more reasonable last year. I think I got 300 and 500 tickets for $220 or $230.

One news channel just said "There are 40,000 less seats, but the design and appeal of the construction will appeal to people.".

e- Tickets for the 400 are still reasonably priced, which is surprising.

Oh my loving god.

Didn't SCCA Trans Am do something like this, only it was interval-based? If the leader had more than a 4 second lead, there was a caution?

I will say this. They didn't launch the idea in Cup first like they have every other terrible thing they've done.

e- Xfinity and Truck Chases are official.

quote:

With this change, none of the 16 Chase for the Sprint Cup drivers from 2015 will be allowed to compete at the finale of the other two series this season.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me that Buschwackers have been barred from just the finales for each of these series.

There were up to four lower series Chase formats floated, but none of this caution clock poo poo was floated in the Fan Council (unless Boomer or Fuzzy got a survey I didn't).

I could've lived with a lower series Chase on the tradeoff that Cup drivers were gone, but as far as I can tell, they're only out for Homestead. So the "Winning Means Everything" format is going to have like 4 guys who actually won in NXS in the regular season. :downsbravo:

Trucks might do a bit better.

I was in one of the discussions when they were first thinking about the caution clock and their rationale was literally "we already throw debris cautions when things get boring but that's shady so let's just codify the poo poo into the rule book"

I wish I was kidding

I wish I were surprised by this. They admitted what we already knew and doubled down on it by saying "let's set a timer so we have phantom debris cautions".

Summary of today's announcements, in case you need cliff notes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0m-3glcmbE

quote:

Matt Weaver ‏@MattWeaverSBN 34s34 seconds ago

Kyle Busch says he'll run 15-18 XFINITY races. No Truck races. No restrictor plate races. "I'm done with that stuff."

Oh, praise Rowdy for reducing his schedule so he'll bitchslap the field in Xfinity only half the time now. Maybe this will be a modicum less of terrible.

I'd be willing to lay down money this is something NASCAR has asked him to do.
