In non-ARCA news, Ryan Preece took this ride over the fence at Bronson Speedway today: https://twitter.com/speed51dotcom/status/962460504521433088 He's ok but will need to prep his backup car for the New Smyrna World Series

http://speed51.com/oswego-nascar-modified-tour-race-to-pay-12000-to-winner/ This plus the huge payout increase for the rest of the races this season is awesome to see. With other high paying races like the Tri Track series and fairly healthy car counts in the Whelen Tour and MRS races, the Mods seem to be doing pretty well considering how much a lot of short track racing seems to be struggling right now.

Hopefully this is just a quick passing shower, because this has been a great race.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:Not a great race. Whatever changes Nascar made them do for this race was a bad idea. Who wants to see single file racing at Talladega? It's nothing really new, it's been a game of "ride single file and don't make a move until the last lap" for a while now, even though it never works anymore. The rules package isn't too terrible, both today and at Daytona the racing was fun to watch when the drivers felt like going for it. They might need a bigger spoiler though, seemed like everyone was a little on edge. I still think they should bring back the roof blade and open the plates up.

This is one area where Loudon does well. Their one Cup weekend this year also has K&N East, 2 Modified races, and Xfinity. The downside is NHMS usually produces dogshit races (aside from the mods, which are awesome there).

I think it looks ok, but the Supra is an odd fit for a stock car body.

NASCAR: where putting a driver into the wall is perfectly acceptable and safe, but dropping two wheels on the apron is dangerous. I get that he did break the rule, but when you're allowing drivers to knock each other around while running under rules that force as many cars into a small space at 200mph as possible, you can't go claiming "it's all in the name of safety" without looking foolish. I can see it early in the race, when you might have slow cars down there, but coming off of 4 on the last lap it should be allowed. Also, Jeff Burton's "cars on the apron cause huge crazy wrecks" defense is crap. I'd argue that drivers holding their line because they're afraid to go down there and get penalized is a bigger cause.

I saw that too. He denied it, but he probably has to until it's officially announced (if it's true).

Pretty big shakeup for the mod fans in here: http://racedayct.com/2018/08/exclusive-rowanpennink-retiring-from-modified-competition/ It's a smart decision if he's having back problems at 33, but I'm pretty bummed. Rowan was an exciting, agressive driver to watch when he had a fast car. It was cool seeing him put the Boehler #3 back in victory lane in last years Icebreaker.

iospace posted:You know, I was legitimately surprised yesterday with both the racers and NASCAR. NASCAR was really hesitant to throw FCYs for minor spins (though to be fair, they have for the other RCs too as of late), and only threw it for a dead car on track, a pile up, and a huge piece of debris on the backstretch. The race itself was much cleaner than I expected. Really my only complaint with the race itself is that it was too short, which NASCAR is fixing next year according to Steve O'Donnell. My gripe is with NBC's coverage. I'm not usually one to bitch about commercials, and maybe it just seemed worse because the race was so short, but it felt like half the race was commercial breaks or side-by-side coverage.

CBJSprague24 posted:Bye-bye restrictor plates: I'm not a fan of running what is essentially the all-star package at all the "downforce" tracks, but that's interesting. I know the speeds will be the same but the increased throttle response and the huge spoiler punching a bigger hole in the air might really shake up the plate races.

CBJSprague24 posted:Somebody translate for an idiot when it comes to mechanics: did they take away my cool and good Daytona/Talladega pack racing? I'm far from being an expert in aerodynamics, but in theory it should be better. More throttle response and a bigger hole in the air should lead to bigger runs in the draft and more ability to pull off a slingshot, but who knows. I'm hoping it's like the roof blade/wicker bill package from the early 2000's.

As much as I complained about this version of the chase/playoffs, it does have me totally sucked into the drama of who's going to make it to the final round.

I'm not really a Logano fan, but good for him. That was a decent race all the way through, Homestead is one of the only quality 1.5 milers.
