I'm trying to put myself in the mind of someone that goes to a Nationwide race, you know and pays for a ticket, spending hard-earned money just to watch some Cup drivers race against scrubs and have better equipment and dominate every race. How does one even get excited for that? What kind of lunatic actual departs with money in his wallet to go see a loving Nationwide race? I mean, I know the folk that watch NASCAR don't have much to do to begin with, but literally anything else is more exciting than a Nationwide race with Kyle, Brad, and Harvick (and Kenseth and whoever the gently caress else races sometimes).

I dunno. Maybe I'm just weird like the rest of you lot but if I'm going to a racing weekend, whether it be Cup, IndyCars, F1, or what not, I'm going to going to try and catch as much possible racing action as possible. So I'm going to go to the ARCA race, the truck race, the Nationwide race, and whatever else they've got going on as well as the main event. I don't quite understand the people who just go to the cup race and nothing else.

JWT was transported to a local hospital after a crash in ARCA qualifying. Venturini Motorsports says that if he's unable to race they will just S&P with another driver. I assume the same applies to the truck deal.

Also ARCA will have spec motors next year that are optional.

The deterrent by the way is owner/driver point elimination if the same driver doesn't start x amount of races. Either that or no owner points if the driver is not series championship eligible.

As was discussed a few pages back, NASCAR already has its road racing series: Tudor.

Yeah but even the gentleman drivers in TUSC have more road racing ability than half the Nationwide field, which makes it that much less fun.
