kidcoelacanth posted:if someone on brad or joey or whoever's level can't make it past 15th in points they probably don't deserve to be contending for a championship anyway Yeah for sure, if you're fighting for the last spot there is a very good chance even if you get it you're probably going out really quickly but I can just imagine the anger when you see McDowell pass you by on the leaderboard because he was in the right place at the right time at Daytona and you've been struggling all year but still miles better than that team. Plus I'd bet at this point there have to be contract bonus for making the chase and/or each round of the chase that are lucrative enough even if you aren't going to sniff a championship.

Reynold posted:Pretty cool for Ty Gibbs, I saw him win at Gateway in the ARCA series. Too bad for Dinger though, I feel like maybe both he and Cindric weren't giving any ground to each other and he just happened to come out worse. Yeah Almendinger was driving pretty aggressively but I thought Cindric could have given him the spot there. Why take the chance of taking both cars out 15 laps into the race? He got pretty lucky that the damage he got didn't really affect his car, or that he didn't tear that wheel off while he was body slamming his way through the field on the last couple restarts. He was definitely using the 8 tires turn better than 4 at the end there. Good for Gibbs being able to keep cool enough to get the win especially the way he roasted the tires on one of those restarts his inexperience was showing a lot right there but he was able to recompose and get it done. I guess it also helps he had the only car in the field that driving through the grass didn't rip the front end off the car.

It was a pretty good race I think. It still surprises me that forever now we all know the day to night races are all about keeping up with the adjustments and teams like the #2 and #22 just didn't do it. They, along with Buscher, dominated while the sun was out and then just faded into also rans. I think maybe the #5 and the #19 were the only guys who were consistently in the top 5 contending? The #24, #88 and #4 were all kinda hanging around the top 10 but not really contending at the front until the #24 got up there late. I also like having Bowyer in the booth but could do without the, hayuck I dag gone tell you what boys, poo poo. It is always interesting having a current driver, or somebody only a few years removed in the booth because they can actually relate to what is going on, especially from last year to this year being able to talk about what it is like turning your first lap of the weekend while taking the green for lap 1 of the race. Oh and on that note, would it really be the end of the world to give these teams like a 1hr practice even at like 9am on raceday? If they aren't racing until 3pm why not give them a 1hr morning happy hour and then they would have at least some idea of what their car was going to do and still have like 5hrs to make adjustments, or change a transmission or something if they realize after 10 laps something is horribly wrong.

If it was the ONLY hobby or interest I ever had I could swing it. Barely. It all depends on if you want to do it and have fun (still expensive but manageable) or do it to win. I've been racing at the local level with my buddy for a long time now, we've run late models weekly at a track and currently do a tour club series of 4cyl modifieds and we'll be adding a weekly series in an entry level 4cyl division this year. There is no chance we're going to win anything. When we ran latemodels there were teams that would seriously spend $5,000/week to win $1200 because they just wanted to be track champion. Guys that raced late models at that track, and only that track, had no big dreams of "making it" just dropping cash on top of cash for motors, setups and cars to win the loving local track championship. They bought tires every week had their cars at a chassis shop every week. We'd buy tires like every 2 or 3 weeks, sometimes a month depending on cash. Taped and ziptied anything that got broken or bent and were eventually a mid top 10 car there spending like as little as possible (out of like an 18 car field so like high end mid pack). You can definitely find a way to race for "cheap" but there will always be somebody willing to spend more for a win.

Elitist Bitch posted:*Brand new team doesn't win in first five races* I'm not really getting that vibe here. I think people were just pointing out how they probably would have finished anywhere from say 5th to 10th and doing that 5 races into a brand new team is like a win but made a pit call strategy that literally nobody else would have made watching that race. If anything it shows promise that they might have good mechanical grip in their chassis for shorter, flatter tracks and maybe that translates well to a place like Martinsville where Bubba knows for sure he can win. I think people are just kinda thinking of the blown opportunity to put the team out there in a good light this early into the season while also referencing the unknown that Bubba is as a driver. Leaving a mediocre team where he had mediocre results to a satellite team of one of the top 2 teams in the sport, what will he be able to do? It's going to be interesting to watch. On the flip side I don't think anybody is expecting Eric Jones to drive the #43 to any wins, he'll probably have very similar results to what Bubba did with it and I don't think that really takes away from any of the wins he was able to get in the #20 car.

I don't like that, just as Cygni said, loving around with guys over the wall like that is just plain stupid and dangerous. If you're mad a guy on the track get him on the track or after the race, don't put the crew guys in danger. No penalty there basically green lights minor, purposeful, contact on an active pit road.

I'm kinda surprised at the positivity about this race from this thread, which usually hates everything. I didn't like it. I didn't think the racing was particularly good, in either race. The viewing experience was pretty bad during the dust bowl and even during the truck race all I could think as I fast forwarded through the bullshit was who would have stuck with this watching live? Same with the Cup race. I think I watched the trucks in about 90min and the Cup race in like 2hrs fast forwarding through most of the stage breaks, commercials and cautions. If the teams actually had some rules to build better dirt cars then fine give it another shot but in my opinion this really didn't work. Like Mike Joy combating the anti-windshielders by saying they've run windshields in Cup since the 1950's was dumb as hell. Oh should they also run Studebakers with 103hp also? Give me a loving break. Good for Suarez and Stenhouse those guys were fun to watch at the end but honestly I think I would have rather watched a regular Bristol race than this. I'm not even giving them minus points for the weather related issues, like it is what it is on that. It sucks we didn't get all the heat races and stuff but that was out of their control for this year and I think if they let the teams build more purpose built dirt cars that mud stuff wouldn't be an issue so call it a learning experience for next year if they are going crowbar this poo poo into the schedule again.

CactusWeasle posted:Didnt they basically deny her because she seem to have a temper problem? I'm guessing it is partially related to being called to the hauler after Richmond for getting into it with Norm Benning. Maybe that particular meeting didn't go well and NASCAR just said, you know what, if you can't run around the back of the pack without causing problems and then you're gonna argue with us about it then forget it we aren't letting you out there on a Sunday. Especially on a track where a minor mistake or a small payback may result in a huge crash. That's just speculation. I think at somepoint NASCAR even addressed the Richmond incident and said the decision had nothing to do with it but that could have been bullshit too. She could have been completely apologetic for the backmarker scuffle at Richmond and NASCAR are being dicks for the sake of being dicks or that the powers that be in making the decision to let her race or not don't like her or something. She's at least been racing in the top 3 series this year. They let Derrick Cope start the 500 in his 60's after a few years away so they aren't exactly being consistent on why they are letting some people race and some people not. NASCAR inconsistent with rulings? Shocker there.

What I found pretty interesting is the addition of the rear facing camera. Like is it going to be a "rear view mirror" that is just a screen or like a wide shot of what is going on back there? Also how long until there is a problem with somebody's rear view mirror not working and they are flying completely blind, except for a spotter, as far as what is behind them? https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2021/05/05/stock-reborn-nascar-manufacturers-unveil-next-gen-models-for-2022-cup-series/

I watched the trucks and the Cup race and the Cup race was what it was I guess. The conditions pretty much ruined it. Cindric was impressive running on slicks for as long as he did but other than that it was a pretty big mess. The truck race at least had just enough wet to make the wet tires work and not so bad that they couldn't see what they were doing so that wasn't an issue. It's just that the trucks didn't seem like, dynamic I guess? It just seemed like they were all tip toeing around the track and the track is so technical they all had to be like right on with hitting their marks and to me it just seemed like they were all in slow motion. Compare it to Sonoma or Watkins Glenn when you see a lot more side by side throughout the entire track and guys flying through the grass and trying to cut corners and all that. To me they just look a lot faster and little more wild on those tracks which makes the road course watching a little more fun.

I actually thought the racing between the Hendrick cars and Kyle Busch was decent, but the 550hp model kills it when they have to let off a tiny, tiny bit and lose 100yds on track. Like at the end the 24 was probably better than the 18 and the 9 but had to let off here and there because of the lapped cars and could never fully recover. While I agree that this race (like most races) are too long I don't mind having 1 600 mile race on the schedule and I hope they keep this race the same. I just hope the new car makes it better. Good runs for the 8, 17, 23 and 99 I thought. Though the 99 was 2 laps down but still managed a 15th that is pretty good I think. 23 had a lead lap finish which is pretty impressive for them.

Reynold posted:I kinda liked Larson before the whole controversy, but yeah his fans coming out of the woodwork to cry "cancel culture," defend using racial slurs and also we sure hope he wrecks the black driver, heritage not hate etc. really put me off the dude. Hell, despite being a fan of Jeff Gordon when I was a kid, I kind of hate the whole Hendrick Motorsports organization right now. You got Larson with his toxic rear end fanbase, Chase Elliot being spoon fed road courses, and William Byron rolling around in a Liberty University car. About the only respectable driver of the bunch is Bowman, and that might just be because I don't know poo poo about the guy. I liked him too. Underdoggish team with the 42, would wheel the hell out of the car sideways in the top groove, was a fun alternative to Harvick/Truex winning, what's not to like. He sure told us what wasn't to like. It was to the point that I actually bought some new hats because the one NASCAR hat I had in the rotation was #5 Kasey Kahne hat and I didn't want people to see the 5 and think I was supporting Larson. It makes me glad that I watch F1 with my head in the sand basically. I don't follow the news or anything, pretty much all the news I get comes from the race broadcast or after the fact on that Netflix show. Nobody I know pays any attention to F1 either so I can't get judged for liking the drivers I like I can just watch them drive and like them.

I'm kinda over the stage racing thing too. I know it has eliminated the "debris" cautions we all thought were annoying but I find the stage thing just as annoying, especially for road course racing. I wouldn't mind them dialing some of the gimmick stuff back. gently caress it, go back to straight points like they used to. Though I admit I enjoy the cut line drama as the season and playoffs roll on.

Losing the regional sports networks sucked because I'm a big Bruins fan and without NESN I could only see them on national NHL broadcasts. Then they come out and say Roku will no longer support them, but if you already have the app on Roku you'll be able to use it just don't accidentally delete it or get a new Roku or you have to go through some convoluted process to get YTTV through the YouTube app and now this. I guess it's on to Fubo? Honestly I don't think I want to go back to straight cable, I actually like having the apps and stuff plus I can easily connect on my phone and my xbox and don't have to have a bunch of cable boxes and crap to set up and then return when the price gets too high and switch to the other cable guy for 2 years, repeat, repeat.

I think a lot of teams will be talking about having to use their wrecked clash chassis as their backup Daytona car because there aren't enough new chassis going around and that will be an overall garage annoyance and a real kick in the balls for anybody that totals a car in the Duels.

That last LCQ was what I thought the racing was going to be. The 23 and 42 just went at it grand theft auto style, if they're in front of you, wreck 'em. There wasn't much racing there.

Douchebag posted:They could have used a place like Bowman or some place similar but I don’t think it would have gotten the buzz of “built a nascar track over a football field”. Event was fun. Especially since NASCAR has been pushing the Go to Your Local Short Track narrative for the last decade or so and when they finally decide to go to a short track and invest millions they do it by making a 1 off short track instead of like saving Myrtle Beach or Beechridge, or North Wilkesboro or something similar (yes I realize they are all totally different tracks but you see my point). Luckily Tony Stewart actually knows the value of the local short track and brings his series to places like that. Overall the racing was better than I thought it would be and for the short track program at least those Kaulig cars were drat good. Pretty impressive both of them running top 5/10 for most of the main. The cars held up well too. None of that nonsense of seeing contact and then 5 laps of watching tire rubs to see if the tire was going to go down or hold up. A+ on the toughness of the new car. Can't wait to see it on an intermediate with 40 other cars out there to see how it goes in a race setting.

Ken Schrader is the man. I just recently, like this week, heard the story of him blasting his in car fire extinguisher out his driver window to make it look like he was blowing an engine to make the second place car back off allowing him to hold off for a win. I can't really seem to find anything else out about this except I keep reading articles where people say it is true so I don't know if it is actually true but loving awesome if it is. He is just a great story teller and has a billion stories. That show on SPEED with him and Michael Waltrip and I think wasn't Dave DeSpain the like mediator of that show? Anyways that show was the poo poo.
