Lol the all star race is gonna have option tires that probably explode in half a lap at speed.

I think option tires are one of the few good competition related ideas NASCAR has had* in the last decade+. *stolen

it takes great advantage of Goodyear's two rubber compounds, "hard as a rock" and "POINT TOWARDS ENEMY"

It's a good idea so we'll probably never see them again after this weekend.

I feel like they used to bring 2 compounds to every race up until like the mid 90s or something anyway, and teams could choose which to run. I might be misremembering that or mixing it up with other series though.

Does Hoosier count as a compound?

One lasts until the next pit stop, the other blows apart before the next pit stop.

https://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/big-changes-coming-to-2018-nascar-cup-schedule-907615 Most of this is fine. Lol at the logic that putting Indy before the chase starts will somehow make it exciting

Yeah can I be honest, I hate change because usually it's "too much, too often", just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. But these look great. Getting Chicagoland out of the playoffs because no one cares. Putting Richmond in the playoffs because everyone cares. And making Indy the last race before the playoffs because history and prestige. I'm on board with all three of those.

quote:The second Cup date at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which Speedway Motorsports Inc. moved from New Hampshire Motor Speedway, will serve as the kickoff race to the Cup series playoffs, replacing Chicagoland Speedway. Who cares, , This might not be a bad idea, Who cares. Thinking about it, the first race of the Chase is a lateral move because it's a cookie cutter. And this will be interesting.
