That new thread smell. I am looking forward to my 7th season of...well, this...whatever it's supposed to be now...with the SASCAR hivemind. We spent time with the Wild Card system, which was actually kinda fun at times. Then we survived Most Extreme Elimination Challenge somehow, and now we've made it to: kidcoelacanth posted:

What is the likelihood of the new points system being "enhanced" before the chase?

Love how NASCAR slipped in that 40th place earns the same number of points as anyone else in the Bottom Five. It takes a special kind of skill to mess up last place.

"If things aren't working, Vince makes changes. 'You think you know us (the WWE)? Think again."'" That's from the XFL 30 for 30 but Jesus, you could sub "Brian" for Vince and not miss a beat.

LASTCAR posted:But but but every position matters(TM) The biggest problem with the race points is that they penalize poor finishes more than they reward good ones, so making lower positions closer in points payout means that you're screwed less for blowing an engine or whatever

Something like 5 points for each spot you move up through the top 5, 4 points for 6-10, and 3 points for any spot below that.

Jr is good enough at plate tracks to earn it on his own no problem but when it happens it's going to set off the conspiracy theorists. So I really hope he gets it.

More bad news.... A certain 1990 Daytona 500 winner isn't gonna be in the Xfinity series this year... "What an amazing three years. Fielding a full time Xfinity car for the past three seasons was certainly a time we will never forget! We are blessed to have garnered great relationships, had many new opportunities, and of course had a few great runs! But, our time in the Xfinity Series has come to a close, along with our recent partnership with JP Motorsports. We look forward to 2017 with renewed vigor, and will keep you all in the loop as to what our plans will be!"

They were probably banking on her to move a lot of product but somehow didn't figure that there isn't a lot of crossover in Nascar fans and People who eat fig bars.
