So, what you're saying is a "gearbox of tomorrow" with a single set of mandated ratios for all competitors that doesn't change based on the track? Got it.

Credit where credit's due, the new truck bodies do look pretty good.

So..what does a "mechanical lowering device" look like on a stock car anyway?

I don't mind Austin Dillon. I just know NASCAR will do everything they can to capitalize on the popularity of his number.

I mean, goddamn:



You'd think a picture of Dale in the wall would have Ken Schrader flailing around somewhere in there.

You know what, at this point, not even going to lie. I'm an unironic Danica fan. If we're going to spiral this shitstorm of a series into the ground, I want her to be front and center on it. This is great.

This week's installment of my favorite Truck series storyline:


(I can't wait to see how the writers work Mike Harmon into this)

In fairness to the guy, it's not like he's ever had to put fuel into her truck during a race before.

If the tire changes mean they'll actually wear out like they used to, then I'll accept a decrease in horsepower.

Good call, reducing horsepower has certainly improved the racing in Nationwi..

Oh.

I'd say it would help if it was new engines. Adding in a tapered spacer which I bet is the solution, yeah I don't know if that will help too much.

Tapered spacer was what they were talking about in the off season prior to Daytona. Given that they're talking about a "75 hp reduction", they're not building new motors. It's gonna be a half rear end solution like that.

In 10 years its going to be these crazy V8s putting out 400 HP because they starve them of everything. Its so silly.

35hp electric "hybrid" helper motors by 2025 to compliment the 20% ethanol blend.

I'm hard pressed to think of an example like Denny Hamlin's. A driver missing a race, at the last second, due to an illness is VERY rare. Injury is one thing, but typically they'll start the race if they're sick. I mean, most of us saw Stewart poo poo himself so that tells you how surprising this is. I just hope it's not anything more serious.

According to fox & crew, he was actually not cleared by doctors, so it doesn't seem like it was actually his choice.
