I mean, I get why they do it but lol that they can't sell young drivers to fans so instead they sell a dabbing "RIP DALE" memorial plate with a stupid cowboy hat instead. God I loving hate Dillon

Better for racing, not better for entertainment and having a reason to watch through to the end of the TV broadcast.

You can't have the first thing without the second thing nowadays.

an old-fashioned rear end-stomping is fun sometimes, though moreso when the sport had more attrition and you could hope for a blown engine

Wilson's death was just inherent to open wheel racing on ovals, it was unfortunate, but not like, totally preventable. It's like a bike fatality where someone falls off a bike and gets hit, if you do racing with an open-cockpit car, you're going to run the risk of poo poo hitting the driver's head.

I mean the point is that when you crash there it's very likely to send lots of debris flying on the track as opposed to a road course.

Harvick's kind of funny because at about the halfway point in his career he seemed like he'd be going down as an underachiever and now it's "imagine how many wins he'd have if he hadn't stuck with RCR for so goddamn long"

I wonder if one problem with the playoff system is that once you've got a few wins you basically don't have to give a poo poo about racing carefully at all

it should be hard to pass (so slow cars can defend from fast cars which is exciting) but the cars should be able to get close to each other, so the defense comes from driving skill and not just bad aero. i figure this is pretty obvious but nobody at NASCAR seems to care that much
