There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


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+.

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

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.

As I understand it Goodyear has always had two tire compounds. One lasts until the next pit stop, the other blows apart before the next pit stop.

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.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

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.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which has traditionally hosted its lone Cup event in late July, will become the 26th race of the Cup season and the last chance for drivers to win their way into the playoffs.

Richmond International Raceway, which has hosted the 26th race since the playoff format debuted in 2004, will become one of the 10 playoff races, adding a second short track to the 10-race run to the championship.

Chicagoland Speedway, which has traditionally kicked off the playoffs, will likely move into the regular season.

Who cares, :lol:, 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. Written out like I did when I did the TV effortposts:

Booth- Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, Joey Logano
Pits- Ryan Blaney, Erik Jones, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.
Hotel- Danica Patrick, Denny Hamlin

Yeah, gonna have to watch.
