Good win for Almirola, esp w/ the earlier tv/radio exh [i think that was him right?], creed that was disappointing. Not too bad result for Shane; it was cool to see him punt back that dude. Cindric blaney okay but curious for Ross in the booth next week.

why does Busch run the Truck races? Seems kinda like an NHL vet going down and playing college hockey. I know they let him do it bc $$$ but does he just do it for practice/ego boost? also watching this race I learned theres a driver whose first name is Lawless and im rooting for him as my #2 after Rajah rn on that alone

I think Kyle is running a handful of truck races as a sponsorship obligation related to his sale of his truck team.

I think Kyle just likes the way the trucks drive. He hasn't had anything good to say about the cup cars since the CoT but that is where the money is.

I believe it was Kevin Harvick specifically who brought that about It was around 2011 when they made drivers declare for only one series' points because cup drivers were going down and winning championships in the now-Xfinity series. Buschwacking started to dwindle after that but really started to go away in earnest in the late 2010s in part because NASCAR limited them to seven Xfinity and five truck races a year. (Plus, there was that time Harvick ragequit the series after Chastain (rightfully) right reared him at Darlington.)

I believe it was Kevin Harvick specifically who brought that about It was Harvick, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, and I feel like Brad K and Denny did their fair share as well. But yeah Harvick, Carl and Kyle were in both races pretty much every week and there were a handful of times Kyle would be in all 3 and sweep the whole weekend which I always thought was kind of impressive. Even though winning the trucks and Busch races weren't really that hard for him but then after already running 500 miles between the two races and running another 500 to win the Cup race was always pretty neat to me. But yeah the cap on the number of races needed to happen. I'm sure it is good for current lower series drivers to see how Cup regulars go about certain tracks and how they are driving at certain points in the run but I don't think the first full time lower series finisher being like 6th or 7th every week was good for either trucks or Xfinity.

Xfinity pays poo poo so it’s a good chance at money for some teams. The No Bull races in the early 00’s was great. I think the money rolled over right?

Sure bigger payouts are good, it just seems like a way to generate drama or something; like how are the drivers selected each round? Do they know ahead of time / is there a schedule, is it for everyone? I guess I need to know more lol

Virgil Vox posted:^ thnx The No Bull 5 was fun back in the day too… Winston No Bull 5 In 1998, in preparations for the 50th anniversary of NASCAR, R. J. Reynolds decided to revamp and reintroduce the million dollar award program. Several factors contributed to the change. After thirteen seasons, the Winston Million had been won only twice, and several times, no driver won even two events. R. J. Reynolds, along with NASCAR, the drivers, and fans, wanted a new format for the award, which allowed it to be won more often and have more drivers involved. The four established crown jewels on the circuit were experiencing worthy competition. In 1994, the inaugural Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was held, and for several years, actually dethroned the Daytona 500 as the richest race of the season. The events at Richmond International Raceway were also fast becoming fan and driver favorites. In addition, several new venues were introduced to the schedule, all of which were offering large base purses. The new program for 1998, titled the No Bull 5 (after a Winston marketing campaign) consisted of three legs of the original Grand Slam (Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Southern 500) along with the Brickyard 400. The race at Talladega used for the program, however, was switched from the spring race to the October race. As a result, that event changed sponsorship names and became referred to as the Winston 500.[1] The rules were as follows: The drivers who finished in the top 5 of a No Bull 5 race qualified themselves for the bonus at the next No Bull 5 race. If one of those five drivers went on to win that next No Bull 5 race, he won a $1 million bonus. Five fans were chosen for each No Bull 5 race, and were paired with each of the five qualified drivers. If the driver won the bonus, the lucky fan paired with him also won $1 million. During the No Bull 5 races, the No Bull 5 eligible drivers raced with special paint jobs. The number on the roof and the rear spoiler was painted day-glow orange because many cars were painted red, and a day-glow "$" was affixed to the passenger window along with a red dot on the windshield in races prior to 2001. Other special decals were sometimes present. This allowed fans to quickly identify and follow the progress of the five eligible drivers. The only exception was the 1998 Daytona 500 where eligible drivers had silver numbers instead of the orange. In subsequent seasons, the races chosen for the No Bull 5 program varied. The Brickyard 400 was dropped after only one year, replaced by the Las Vegas 400. Eventually the Daytona 500 was replaced with the Pepsi 400, and the Southern 500 was replaced by the fall event at Richmond. In its five-year span, which totalled twenty-five races, 125 eligible driver spots, and 124 eligible fans (one fan qualified twice, winning neither), the million dollar bonus was won thirteen times. Jeff Gordon won it a record four times. Including his 1997 Winston Million victory, Gordon won a total of $5 million from the bonus program.
