Cygni posted:DAYTONA BEACH, February 3, 2027 - Ten-time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson has won his 4th straight Daytona 500 Pole presented by "Ow! My Balls!" for tonight's SJWs Are The Real Fascists Daytona 500. NASCAR president Mike Helton praised the new 1-day format for the full field of 22 entries across all classes, all using the new for 2017 spec-1.6 Liter 4 Cylinder Chevy Cruz racecars. Oil tycoon heir and reality programming sensation Ayden Tillerson claimed pole in the Grand National Sportsman class for gentleman drivers after qualifying was marred by six accidents in class. He will start 9th in the combined field, and has been granted three Red Bull Speed Tokens and an additional Joker Lap presented by Marvel Comics from in app fan purchases. Soon we'll be living in times that anime has promised us.

I didn't really watch commercial but I'm guessing if NASCAR wasn't so ham-fisted with the Daytona Day title it would've been an average commercial if they just dropped Daytona Day title?

I think the no body panels thing would have worked better if 40th through 30th or hell 25th was worth the same points and not to 35th. More or less they're trying to keep cost of putting on body panels and try to keep badly damaged cars off the track. This will probably work at all tracks but Daytona and Talladega.

L_Harrison posted:I've had an idea where the "teams" and "drivers" are two separate entities, and by some process the drivers rotate to a new team every week, and there is a team champion and a driver champion. It'd be loving fascinating to see who could adapt the best to shittier cars and equipment. I put way more thought in how this could work. NASCAR takes all the sponsors to be the Official what the gently caress ever of NASCAR, give the drivers sponsors and let them race to whatever rule set. Would have to tear up any manufacturer contracts everyone has though. VikingSkull posted:Have a lottery every December, picking a fan at random.

CBJSprague24 posted:I don't know, I'd prefer to watch actual racing action over qualifying on every TV in my house as opposed to the one with the cable box hooked up to it, but that's just the opinion of one race fan. I doubt Fox wants to fight every Fox affiliate to throw out paid advertising over NASCAR. That and FS1 is pretty much on the bottom rung to channels to get so why bother when you can drop it on FS1 and barely lose any eyes.

CBJSprague24 posted:Lewis Hamilton wants to maybe try the Daytona 500 someday and I can't wait until he can't do it in a decent car because NASCAR has the dumbassed team cap and HMS, SHR, and JGR are all at four cars (unless NASCAR would allow something like HMS putting him in the 25 as a rookie or something). Penske might be his only decent shot otherwise. Only way the 4 car teams can do it is take over a team for the 500 and use it as a faux 5th team. It's like the Joe Falk team that was being used by RCR for Ty Dillon to run races. Otherwise Lewis would have problems finding a competitive ride, if he ever decides to try the 500.
