The end of each stage does not require a caution, and if it does, it sure as poo poo doesn't need to be eight loving laps.

VikingSkull posted:Well you need the first lap to slow the cars down, second to gather them up, third for formation, fourth opens pit road, fifth is for the lap down cars and usually like two more pace laps so I mean having eight isn't some huge deal IMO Is this a joke? The cars are still in the tri-oval when the caution comes out and they need four more laps to get to pit road? Just pit at the end of the that lap, ffs. So many of you are quick to criticize NASCAR but then still parrot their idiotic reasoning for their bad rules.

I'm not complaining about plate racing or the new format. NASCAR has long had a problem with the frequency and duration of cautions.

Ideally they would have stages that didn't end in mandated cautions, but since I'm sure they won't do that, at the very least they could not end each segment with 20 minutes of no racing.

How about this, since you folks seem inclined to misunderstand every single accurate criticism that's being leveled at NASCAR here: show me more racing and less not racing, please.

I don't think the Chase in and of itself would've caused any decline, because as much as we complain about it, it is effective in consistently contriving a dramatic finale. I also don't think there's a single specific thing you can point at and say "this is what they did wrong," beyond the enormity of their success in the 90s and 00s setting a bar that's impossible to reach.

iospace posted:The problem with ads is it's a universal plague here in the US. TV shows have gotten shorter and shorter as networks sell more ad space. Yeah but with TV we virtually all have ways to watch it without ads, either with a DVR or like Hulu. You could do this with sports, but most people don't like time-shifting live sports, and you still miss some of the action. Goes back to what I was saying in the IndyCar thread about giving me a way to pay for it and watch it commercial free on whatever device I want, but that means these companies accepting that the wild amounts of money they used to make isn't coming back. It's about them accepting a little long-term pain (in the form of less TV rights money) in exchange for building/rebuilding an audience.

Playing the villain is entirely different than being genuinely such a piece of poo poo that you're like wrecking people on pit road after the race. Next time Kyle cries and wrecks somebody I sincerely hope it backfires and injures him badly enough to end his career but otherwise have a normal life.
