I like this system, as I'm a huge fan of roller derby and this system could bring in some real roller derby moments for NASCAR. Picture this: 5 Laps to go at New Hampshire II and JR still doesn't have a win. All of a sudden, Jimmiebot, Gordon, and Kasey go three wide and flat out. They bump all the cars on the lead lap out of the way (not violating the 100% rule because they are going for it) and then they wipe each other out in the last corner and Dale gets the win!

I have decided that I like the new system. I don't usually watch any of the races once the footballs starts anway. I may be tempted to actually tune in to the last few races just to see all the carnage on the track as drivers punt other cars since they can't pass due to stupid Aero.

If you've ever wanted to know what an actual puppet dancing on actual strings looks like, look no further than Ron Drager's performance when Chase's car was found to be 3/8ths low both at the height sticks on pit road and in the tech garage.

I admit that I ran in stock class with JDM lightweight bumper beams in rallycross last year.

Why do they keep making the tires harder and harder? That's just murdering the grip, and making it so they don't ever wear (because they aren't gripping at all).

It's embarrassing for the manufacturer (when there is only one supplier) to have their tires blow up.

I like the new chase. Everyone is taking crazy chances to make a playoff that I never watch because it's Football season. Seems like win/win to me.

So the ratings this year have been downright terrible. Jayski:

quote:

The 2014 Sprint Cup season has not gotten off to a great start on FOX. Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Kobalt Tools 400 from Las Vegas drew a 4.1 overnight rating on FOX, down 11% from last year (4.6), down 23% from 2012 (5.3), and tied with 2010 as the lowest overnight ever for the race since it moved to FOX in 2001. Overnights have declined for the first three Sprint Cup telecasts this season. The numbers have not just declined, but in fact have hit historic lows. Final ratings for the Daytona 500 were the lowest ever, and the final rating for Phoenix was the lowest for the second race of the season since FOX acquired rights

I blame DW.

Pemberton says NASCAR official's uniform got stuck in the fence and he couldn't move. That's why pit road light switch wasn't flipped

Tell me how Gordon is the points leader? Literally the top 5 in points crashed.

I hope this is trolling. Points only matter after wins are added up.

Points leader after Richmond makes the Chase automatically with or without a win unless there are 16 winners, so it does matter.

So you are saying points matter, but only after the wins are added up?

The only thing bad about the Doge Coin sponsorship is seeing you guys get your hopes up that it "will bring new fans to the sport." That wont happen. There is no appeal in the current product, delivery and packaging that would appeal to anyone that didn't grow up with memories Ken Squier and Neil Bonnett.

Nobody paying attention because of Doge Coin is sticking around long enough to immesh themselves into the world of pit scanners, shock setups and watching Greg Biffle impersonate a sandbag on the last lap.

It's a great marketing hook to get exposure to new fans. In order to reel them in, the product has to be good.

Don't gently caress up your back.

Late 30's is when poo poo starts to fall apart. These guys take a real beating every week, and it wouldn't surprise me if Gordon retires after this year.
