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.

The Edwards rumor has been completely denied by Penske, which means we're going to have a press conference in August confirming it, aren't we?

Probably. I forget which thing they denied afew years ago, but Jayski referenced their denial and actually added something like "worth noting: they also denied moving from Pontiac to Ford, then to Dodge, Rusty retiring" and like 3 more things.

The Clash should go back to two 10 lap segments with an inversion at halfway. With the racing we're seeing right now it'd be insane.

I never liked the inversion. I actually preferred using average finishing position for the final segment as a gimmick. Again, Kurt Busch.

Monster paid about $20 million, below Nascar’s asking price of $35 million and nowhere close to the original goal of $100 million, according to television and racing-industry executives familiar with the new contract. A Nascar spokesman wouldn’t comment.

Thanks, that's...interesting. Are all of those numbers supposed to be per year? I remember when a team took $15-20 million to sponsor.

I remember that like it was 2017.

The last time I saw a sponsor dollar amount was like 2005-ish, so I was assuming it had declined since the title sponsor is so low. It's even worse that the series title sponsor is worth as much as a team. Sounds like the team sponsors may be overpriced?

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.

At a track as big as Daytona, why can't it be:

First lap: Catch pacecar on backstretch, lead lap pit stops.

Second lap: Lap-down cars pit.

Third lap: Lucky Dog/Wave-Arounds, line up double-file.

Back to Green.

I was born about 10 years too late for them, but Seekonk is still going pretty strong. There's a really cool little racing museum in Pawtucket, RI that has a few old cars and a ton of stuff from the old tracks.
