Won't this just make more problems? Instead of going behind the wall, teams will try and fix a totaled car on pit road and send it back out after five minutes. I mean, lol. What are they even doing? Also, is there anything about pits being closed when the segments are finishing? At longer tracks, people are just gonna pit on the last lap (Glen, Sonoma, Dega, Pocono, Daytona, Indy) to get track position.

I've had an idea where the "teams" and "drivers" are two separate entities, and by some process the drivers rotate to a new team every week, and there is a team champion and a driver champion. It'd be loving fascinating to see who could adapt the best to shittier cars and equipment.

So who's NASCAR going to fix to win the pole? My bet's on any of these: Dale Jr (back after time off from concussion) Michael Waltrip (last race. lol okay maybe not) Daniel Suarez (first Cup start + Hispanic driver, double good) Erik Jones (fresh young talent, first season, and a new team)

Holy gently caress Larson's stats this year: finished 2nd or better in every race, except for Daytona (he was leading with 1 to go).

If it's going to be a Ford team, I could see it being Bubba Wallace or Ryan Reed.

lol holy poo poo the Charlotte roval. That track's not made for full-body cars, so it's gonna be hilarious or terrible or both. edit: also, the start/finish line is in the braking zone to turn 1, which will cause insanity for qualifying and last lap stuff.

Just the fact that NASCAR is going to race on a roval is loving hilarious and I can't wait for whatever clusterfuck happens.

Now we have sponsored restart zones and sponsored last laps. I'm honestly surprised the stages aren't individually sponsored yet. If Brian France reads this thread, you're welcome.

Obviously the way NASCAR can better connect to its fanbase is to promote its audience putting sponsors on their daily vehicles. Then everyone can feel like a racecar driver.

Daniel Suarez is a great new talent and has many years ahead of him in NASCAR. This post sponsored by ICE.

soggybagel posted:As someone who knows nothing about NASCAR I was under the impression the idea behind NASCAR is that it was more about skill than having the technological and mechanical advantage. Cars are pretty uniform and strictly regulated. Yet the few races I've seen this year announcers always say Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jrs cars are better where as some middle pack cars just aren't good enough. What's the deal? Because it is about technological and mechanical advantage, even in little things. Put Kyle Busch in a poo poo-tier team car, and he'll run 20th at best. Put a driver from a backmarker team into a good car, he'll run top 10. That's why Hendrick Motorsports has hundreds of wins and Front Row Motorsport has like 2. More money, more man-hours into computer simulations, better engines, better chassis, etc. When Kyle Busch ran for his own team in Xfinity some years ago, he never won a race. His team merged with Gibbs, and suddenly he was winning again. To do well in NASCAR is like 80% dependent on your equipment.
