If you think this is bad, wait until you see a post-bankruptcy NASCAR that's propped up by investors desperately trying to appeal to millennials.

It can't be worse than death throws period Champ Car.

That looks like one of the fictional cars from the mid-2000s era NASCAR Thunder games.

I guess what I'm saying is I wish it were 2004. :(

And just like the old NASCAR games, Carl Edwards isn't going to be in it this year either.

Wait... too soon?

So here's my question. IMSA and NASCAR are essentially two sides of the same org. How the gently caress is NASCAR so backwards and IMSA is all "Hey, the DPs are out of date, how do we refresh them and make them attractive to makers?" and pull it off in the best way possible?

Its really easy to make moves when you are not in the spotlight, basically. When you don't have to worry about pissing off a bunch of competing interests you can do the right thing.

The extreme example is F1, obviously.

Quick whine?

I'd love to look at an XFS schedule one day and see them running random rear end venues again rather than them just being a companion series for cup. That would rule so much.

Normally my default position is "Take that fantasy rear end schedule making nonsense back to the Indycar thread."

But real talk? I am 100% in agreement with you.

I know that "technically" running a XFS car around Myrtle Beach or South Boston probably isn't super beneficial for development for a Cup Car on a cookie cutter 1.5 mile. But goddamn it's fun!!

Rumors are Vegas is apparently getting a second Cup race, which means an SMI property is going to lose a date.


People assume that it's gonna come from the fall races, which makes it either Texas, New Hampshire or Charlotte.

All three would be hilarious for different reasons. I guess Charlotte or New Hampshire make sense from "gently caress tradition" and "lmao moar 1.5 milers for the 1.5 mile god"

Hilarious now that they could have probably gone back to NWS if it was still active because the 32 car limit doesn't seem to glaring these days.

You know a series is healthy when Dale Jr has a single date free that needs sponsorship.

I mean maybe i'm overreacting but I bet when he was with Bud he would have been locked up for every weekend, right?

But man, why'd they get rid of that era of cars.
