Just run a figure 8 race for the Nascar all stars race.

Also the all stars race is a joke since just about every cup driver gets in anyway. They should mix it up and let the Truck and Xfinity series drivers earn a spot too...

Or they could just get rid of the all stars race since it loving sucks.

Lets do 10-20 cars from each series in their own car multiclass racing something like fuel loads for Cup cars need to pit 2x, xifnity need to pit 1x and trucks no pits, with a joker lap through a back stretch chicane. or some silly poo poo every 10 laps.

I think you're actually on to something here: just make them all drive Super Trucks for the All-Star event. That'd actually be fun and hilarious to watch.

Was going to say “because too big and RWD,” but 1. That’s no argument against chaos and 2. We can just let Ford and Toyota use their rally peanuts and dare GM to come up with their own.

Respect the power of the wind
Legit suggestion: Make the first year of the Chicago street circuit the all-star race. Would be undeniably spectacular, would be a low-pressure environment, NASCAR can learn a lot of poo poo because things will inevitably go wrong, then they come back in the future with regular points races. They can even add a joker lane for shits and giggles.

I'd like to see the contract.. Equivelant of X dollars in [Crypto currency ] on date.. or assumption like he gets 10shitcoins and the rest in real dollars.

He could get 1 poo poo coin and they could make a whole ad about him getting paid cryptocurrency for the sponsorship. Dogecoin really dropped the ball there.

I don't think this would even be the first time Landon Cassill specifically was paid nothing. No disrespect intended towards the guy, he is very high up on my list of "Would really like to see him get another shot in good equipment" but he has not historically been working with teams with the best finances.

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

SRX is shortening heats to 12 minutes, keeping the drivers in the same color car as they were last week, and (I think) making driver names bigger.

Take notes on listening to fans, NASCAR.

The SRX series is uploading the full race events to YouTube a couple days after airing. Pretty nice... Although it seems to just be the CBS broadcast with the side by side ads still...

I watched the Nashville final race last night. The resolution wasn't great and the silenced ads were a little odd but it's nice to be able to catch up on them.

Weird, weird car but there's potential with the series.

Yea it seems like a cool series. Hope they get more seasons of it in the future and are able to get more old retired drivers to do some races. Like maybe Jeff Gordon or Earnhardt Jr. to run a race or two...

Also maybe more retired Nascar drivers can figure out a way to create a racing series for themselves to win championships in.

(Apparently there is an SRX Game that is actually not bad that also has Stadium Trucks in it, although it's $40... probably not worth that...)

Very respectable attendance at Pocono today. I know some people were saying that it was gonna be like the '90s. The days of busing people in from satellite lots are never coming back. But it's as good as it's been in fifteen years or so, much more local crowd than it was back then. Lots of new and old shirts.

Also lol CLASSIC trucks
