Lewis Hamilton wants to maybe try the Daytona 500 someday and I can't wait until he can't do it in a decent car because NASCAR has the dumbassed team cap and HMS, SHR, and JGR are all at four cars (unless NASCAR would allow something like HMS putting him in the 25 as a rookie or something). Penske might be his only decent shot otherwise.

Put him in Truck at Eldora.

I'll still whine about to this day, but one of the bigger mistakes Cup made was abandoning southern tracks with their own character in favor of cookie cutters in major metropolitan areas.

Short term? It worked. Long Term? It's biting them in the rear end attendance wise.

Obviously my exposure to the sport is much more limited that you fellas in here. But I've been busy watching a lot of the 80s races that were recommended, and I agree. There's charm and character missing that once was a thing.

And I like the new product. It could is it be a lot better. Becuse it was.
