By the way I have discovered my 2017 Nascar wish.

Jr wins all races except the last one losing the championship, because he gets DQd for his body repairs taking longer than 5 min.

And Chase Elliott the race after that.

Still can't buy a dammed hat though. Mines getting dirty and I wanted to buy one for my Daytona 500 patty bingo.

Yeah but I feel like if JR nation gets boned of a championship because of all these dumb as gently caress point systems and rules that will have the biggest fan impact and voice for Nascar to go back to norma.... hahaha who the gently caress am I kidding they'll make it even more insane.

I mean, is it any worse than calm racing for 450 miles and then all the GWC's?

We will see how crazy it gets.. I mean you get 10 extra points for winning the segment. Not sure if it counts as a win for the chase.. and they don't all go down pit road etc.. it's basically the Cup version of the caution clock, with some points attached to it.

You guys want some more changes to go with your changes? HAVE SOME MORE CHANGES! A NEW PENALTY STRUCTURE!:

They just can't stop tinkering.

If you commit pass interference you will be forced to give up the position and will need to repeat the current down (lap)
Personal fouls will result in nascar disabling 2 cylinders for 30 seconds remotely.


I know that segmented races aren't NASCARs biggest issue but they way they are going about it I don't think is going to create the excitement they think it is. But maybe I'm wrong.

Well it is a combo of internet, 500 channels, and on demand content. No one want to watch a race that is 4 hours long but only the last 5 minutes matter.

Right, and summer, I'm not giving up 25% of my weekend when it's nice out to sit on my rear end and watch cars turn left.. I rarely watch day races once summer hits, if I've got nothing going on I'll watch for a bit but usually am outside or woodworking or not sitting watching racing

Didn't I give you the bingo zip file?

Anyways, sorry guys, no bingo this year. I'm going to be out of town for at least two of the plate races and I'm hoping to be on my honeymoon for another, if we're still allowed to leave the country this fall.

Yes you did but it's not on my pc anymore, probably due to a new pc build and divorce in the past year..

Luckily I was in a room full of people having a great time,

Ty for the bingo generator, due to the massive wrecks we ended up with 2 cards missing all but 1 square colored in.

This is one of my home tracks.. My GF's friend's husband races here so I'll be spending a few more weekends here.. I"d prefer lancaster but the rules are different so he'll be at Holland.

I initially read this as "My GF's husband..."

Well I mean legally I am still married while things go through court.. one day she said something an long the lines of "you're the only married man for me" and I did a double take

Back on topic..Nascar keeps getting lame,support your local tracks on Friday and Saturday nights, it's entertaining.

Also no manufactured fake segments.

I know he owns Bristol too but isn't he part of the reason for 1.5 mile tri-ovals.

Didn't he ruin Bristol then say oh I didn't know what the contractors were doing? And then spend more money to fix it?
