a guy who is probably a consensus top 3 active racecar driver if you polled the drivers themselves, is gonna chase another series big event for fun and glory... and she complaining that it's not marketable enough and her child hasn't heard of him like for gently caress sake who gives a poo poo how many hamburgers the guy might sell, it's loving cool as hell regardless of the driver or event

they divided the race into segments, made that lovely charter system, and gave a championship to a dude that missed half the season. where they put the numbers on the cars is sorta the least of my concerns when it comes to tradition, honestly.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Some pretty dishonest views of what happened in here. They didn't get sponsored then have evil evil nascar rescind it. Carl Long himself admits they didn't know who the company was because it was misspelled as like "veedworks" or something and he thought it was vapory. He admits himself that if he'd realized what they do, he wouldn't have accepted the deal because nascar would have never accepted it. i had no idea that these huge logos i put on my car and were approved by nascar were about weed because they used a dastardly V instead of a W! oh well, announcing my new sponsor for next week, the Mazi Party. this is the dumbest argument ive heard in a while

I feel like they used to bring 2 compounds to every race up until like the mid 90s or something anyway, and teams could choose which to run. I might be misremembering that or mixing it up with other series though.

NASCAR (not even ISC) straight up owns Sebring and Road Atlanta, from what I understand. im not an ISC stockholder, but this whole plan to spend a bunch of money on this CLT roadcourse looks really dumb, even with a guarantee cup date in the chase.

IMSA is owned directly by NASCAR as a subsidiary, i think. Grand Am was originally set up independently, but merged back in... and when NASCAR bought ALMS, it essentially renamed Grand Am to IMSA and used its ACCUS registration. at least thats how i understand it? i dunno man im dumb as hell

obviously tires coming off of cars is bad, but so is running the car out of fuel in the middle of the pack or running lovely setups that encourage goodyears lovely tires to blow. a 4 race suspensions for the goddamn crew guys is extremely stupid for a tire coming off, a thing that is not even any sort of penalty in nearly every other form of racing because it probably ends your day already most of the time. sure its dangerous and sucks, but the fact that its treated as some HORRIFIC EVENT by NASCAR is stupid. 'boys have at it' hurt more fans and drivers in the last 10 years than a tire coming off on the warm up lane has.

iospace posted:Apart from threadtitle.txt, why did NASCAR feel the splitter was a good idea again? its a cheap and easy way to make a lot of front downforce, which drivers like (theoretically) and makes the cars faster in some ways, the entire car is designed around the front splitter kinda like how current openwheel cars are designed around the keel

I haven't been able to sit through a Cup race since Daytona. Stage racing has literally ended my enjoyment of the series. It's like the car switching in Formula E: until they get rid of that poo poo, I simply cannot care. Gonna give it another shot this weekend cause its Sears Point and the other racing that day doesnt conflict. See how this goes.

i like that they say it will take multiple years to get rid of the splitter "if they can", lol. they could literally get rid of them for tomorrows race if they really wanted to. like Rick Mears said in that article yesterday, they probably should just hack the downforce off and let the drivers deal with it.

quote:SportsBusiness Journal reports that the Cup series to date is down 12 percent in viewership compared to the first half of 2016, down from an average of 5.6 million to 4.9 million viewers. The Daytona 500 was up five percent, but eight of 14 races studied declined by double-digits. Saturday night's Cup series race on NBCSN drew a 1.6 rating and averaged 2.7 million viewers, down from 2016's 1.9 rating and 3.2 million viewers. for one, we are up in the metric of "dumb poo poo steve phelps says" significantly, so
