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:

Cygni posted:drat, I probably shoulda worked Danica into my thing but i kinda forgot she was in the field There's a cruel irony in the fact that one of the best marketers in NASCAR has been screwed by sponsors twice now- once by GoDaddy on the "personal service contract" she was offered as a consolation prize only to never happen (what happened with that?) and now again by Nature's Bakery who either bit off more than they could chew or were intentionally shady.

I got back to the lead and brake-checked him, which made the thing as red as possible.

No matter how dumb it is (and I look at it as more "grossly out of touch" than "offensive"), we're all talking about it. We're not the intended audience for the ad, but NASCAR would probably consider that a victory nonetheless.

I can't tell if half the field getting junked in the first stage is no worse than any normal plate race or it's going to make the race somehow worse/more laughable which, in turn, will lead NASCAR to dump the system at Daytona and Talladega at some point. I remember the 2014 Coke Zero 400 having most of the field gone by the time the rains came. Jeff Gordon finished 12th barely able to keep up with the pack.

algebra testes posted:Normally my default position is "Take that fantasy rear end schedule making nonsense back to the Indycar thread." You can't tell me some of the regional short tracks which probably should be on the Xfinity schedule wouldn't draw more fans than a comprable crowd at Kansas or Chicago (or  Indy), but these are probably assertions NASCAR wants nothing to do with because it admits failure.Are the Xfinity venues locked in the next five years like the Cup schedule? I feel like NASCAR would be able to use the idea of adding more short tracks as a "returning to our roots" promotion of the series. It can even be a thinly-veiled deflection of the fact nobody cares about Xfinity, I don't care, just make it happen.
