Even pitting an extra time before the last yellow, Harvick was still able to pass the other 2 that tried to win on pit strategy.

Also, the crew riding on the car at the end, that poo poo would never fly in 2018 Nascar.

They did the same thing with JD McDuffie, except it was only lap 6 and they could have easily just postponed the race for a day...

It is good that we have safety barriers that actually provide some safety these days...

Also, the interview with the public relations guy is almost comical, the interviewer is less than a foot away from him....

It's been really obvious trying to play fantasy Nascar this year. There used to be a pretty solid delineation between A, B, and C groups... now it's like five drivers and "Ehhhhh..... I haven't used Jeffery Earnhardt yet..."

It's depressing.

Rain delays in Phoenix?

Also, doing a 1 mile shootout to end stage 2 after a red flag rain delay is an interesting decision on Nascars part, although nothing happened except for Kyle Busch winning stage 2.

I am curious if the 1 or 2 lap end of stage green is something Nascar actually wants to do when there is a late stage caution and they are able to get the green flag out for just 1 or 2 laps before the end of the stage?

Seems like a really good way to tear up some cars in the middle of the race.

Especially with the Xfinity today, they were red flagged and went 1 lap yellow, 1 lap green, end of stage 2 yellow.

I could see them doing a green white end of stage in the future. Would be a lot better than making them do the 1 yellow 1 green on cold tires that had been sitting for a 30 minute rain delay that they did today.

I enjoy that they busted Harvick for possibly cheating last week after dominating 2 races, then he just comes back and wins again anyway.

Losing 7 playoff points not going to matter much if you win every race :smug:

Nascar makes all these rule changes to make races more exciting for viewers when all they really need is some drivers with some personality. Get some good rivalries going on the race tracks.

Also, the last 4 races haven't really done poo poo to try to introduce new drivers to the fans to make anyone really give a poo poo. Just Harvick and Busch brothers really.

Yea, but if you're running in 10th and your teammate is 30th, have them take a little spin, bring out the caution. And then you're in position to win the race.

Watching some of the old races, its fun seeing them directly talking about the race purse and what the drivers are actually racing for money wise.

A top-flight league not having an entitlement sponsor isn't completely unprecedented. The English Premier League is one of the most popular soccer competitions in the world, and they turned down entitlement sponsorship to essentially become their own entitlement sponsor and put their brand out there as-is.

Of course, a lot of the individual clubs of the EPL are worth more than the whole of NASCAR. But go on, NASCAR! See how going solo works out for you.

How many sport leagues actually do have an entitlement sponsor? I mean it's not the Denny's Grand Slam Baseball League or the Hooters Football League. The major sport leagues in the US is just the MLB, NFL, & NBA.

It seems like the last few weeks there has been a lot of emphasis about tire safety and keeping them "at arms reach" while doing pit stops. I don't know why NASCAR is so hard up about this but then takes away a member of the over the wall crew. If you want fewer uncontrolled tires then let an extra man over the wall. Seems pretty simple. Most of the "uncontrolled" tires have been caused by 1 guy trying to secure 2 tires and I say "uncontrolled" because these wildly uncontrolled tires have been like rolling and inch out of the box or an inch out of "arms reach". Luckily those have been the only uncontrolled tires so far but it just seems silly to have safety be the reason they went down to 5 people and want less people on pit road but safety is also compromised when a tire is more likely to end up rolling out of the pit box and end up going off somebody's front bumper and becoming a projectile.

I'm pretty sure Nascar just wants to create some #drama on pit road.

TBH though, Nascar probably should look into doing Driver Only races more often. Using some rookie drivers, it puts their face and voices in front of the fans that would otherwise not know who they are.
