Harveygod posted:Mehhhh. I'm adding my voice to the "Daytona Day isn't a bad campaign" opinion. The commercial during the Super Bowl even seemed fine. Drivers saying how they used to watch it was normal and non-bullshitty. "Hey, there's a car race and car races are fun have people over your house and watch it" is simple and fuuuuuck NASCAR could use some goddamn simple right now. Other than the song I liked the commercial. NASCAR is a perpetual poo poo show, but every spring I get excited for racing.  It'll all be ruined by Vegas of course but oh well.

VikingSkull posted:I dunno if it's the era I grew up in or the geographical area but punching some dude you're mad at is acting like an adult to me. Going over to him and whining that you're mad at him would be considered being a baby. Well, we grew up in different eras and geographic areas, but IMO if you punch someone your argument is automatically lost. I still very much believe that. I do think they may have done better by going their separate ways and discussing things on Thursday or Friday. Time has a good way of cooling things off.

Lordy, Jenna Fryer is getting shelled like a September callup. I can't even find a link to the article because her timeline has gotten nuked. E: found it: http://racing.ap.org/article/column-so-what-alonso-racing-indy-500?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP_Sports Perhaps some of the open wheel goons can explain the hate? Objectively she seems to have a good point. Elitist Bitch fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Apr 18, 2017 |

Interesting. I don't get the GOAT talk about Alonso I see on Twitter (although I only make it a point to watch the 500 and Monaco so I am a very, very casual open wheel watcher). I don't understand how she presents Smoke and Danica as options to run the 500 to attract fans. NASCAR is hemorrhaging fans as it stands- and I don't think either of them are as popular as the powers that be think they are. But I don't think she deserved to be attacked for having an Unpopular Opinion. Kyle Larson in an open wheel car? Yes please

FuzzySkinner posted:yeah that's the major problem with the aritcle. I had to look him up on Wikipedia. Following F1 isn't a prerequisite for "following racing". It's OK to be a race fan and not know dick about F1/Indycar/NASCAR/whatever. She should go back and fix her factual inaccuracies, I agree. This article smacks of "I had loving nothing else to write about but wanted to get paid this week."

The real problem is all the good racing is in places that are not desirable to visit other than the race, with the possible exception of Daytona and the spring Phoenix race. Hence the falling attendance. Racing is a way better experience consumed on television, doubly so if it's Waltrip-free.

What he says bears repeating. If you're over 50, or over 40 with a family history, get a colonoscopy. It's covered (at least for now) as a preventative procedure. The most unpleasant part isn't even the procedure, it's the gallon of prep you have to drink the night before. And if they find something, a lot of times they just take care of it right then, and the prognosis is really good.
