I retract my earlier statement. Atlanta sucks, the package sucks, the sport essentially sucks now with this car.

Race overall was garbage. IRacing type start Bullshit wrecks just getting into a bullshit pit road entry No need for another Daytona All but like, 8 cars not involved in an incident? Finish was OK? It was the wet dream nascar had wanted for sure. Very happy for Suarez, he needed it after a lousy 2023. I apologize for stating Atlanta was good. It’s trash. I miss watching races where a driver was 8 seconds back with 30 to go and was rim riding and making up a half second per lap. I don’t expect Vegas to be super exciting but can we get some sort of real racing or is nascar dead?

it was a cool race on its own with an awesome finish but my busted-rear end brain can't divorce what neo-atlanta and the reaction to it means for nascar as a sport as it continues to become something that is very different from what i think real racing should be anyway todd gilliland is leading the series in laps led

I didn't hate that race. I like that there are six drafting races on the schedule. I just wish they were better spread out as opposed to the obvious gimmick they are gunning for this year with Daytona and Atlanta a maximum of two weeks apart. (And though I could make the obvious "wait until the casual fans see Vegas" joke, the races there haven't been bad recently.) It certainly doesn't help that the schedule, according to what I got from talking to Frank Kelleher last summer at Daytona, basically comes down to like four people ("I don't get any say as to when we run, I'm responsible for selling out the stands and infield; the 400 could run in June someday"). If there's any criticism of the track to be had, it's this is yet another example of "NASCAR should do Obvious Thing X, but instead does I've Got A Better Idea Y. If there was a cookie cutter that was a worthy candidate to become the type track Atlanta did, it was Texas. Atlanta 2.0 seemed to be one of the cookie cutters that produced the best racing on its own merit. It's kind of like when Labor Day Fontana flopped and, instead of putting the Southern 500 back right away to right the wrong (which wouldve been a PR win), it went to Atlanta because the big brains in NASCAR, in their infinite wisdom, decided the obvious thing wasn't the way THEY wanted it.

NASCAR is my spring/summer nap background, so as long as there's interesting finishes, I'm happy with two hours of motors droning in the background beforehand. Of course, I also watch bike racing on TV, which is like NASCAR big track strategy in slomo, so... Always happy to see Bubba or Suarez do well just for the blood pressure increase it creates for all the worst people. Always happy to see Kyle lose because gently caress that guy (which Kyle? Does it matter?).

A whole heck of a lot of my motorsports watching has migrated to YouTube lately. There is a bunch of great road/grand prix racing and drag racing footage out and about now. We watched this years Lightning Lap footage from VIR last night and it was just right for wind down car noises. Also worth watching to see them let a nice sport bike make a rip and holy poo poo they brake late compared to what I'm used to up there.

Whoa I didn't know they put Lightning Lap on YouTube. Is it a live feed? Do you have a link? I searched and don't see one. I did find Garage 56 doing a lap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxyHOGKNgcU

I'll edit a few links in here in a few. I'm always really annoyed that they keep it so locked down when they do the testing but running that grand course they'd end up killing someone walking on the wrong part of the track. They had one of the cars around 150 mph on a part of the track that's normally pedestrian and ATVs.

kidcoelacanth posted:he's right I think the last 50 laps are clouding everyone's brain a little as far as best race start to finish or whatever but I'd bet if I looked at the Top 10 Best NASCAR Races Ever most of them are dogshit until the last 50 laps so I'm sure this one slots in as one of the best ever. I just don't think the whole race top to bottom was the best. I don't think the majority of the drivers could really do anything until the sun was going down and the track cooled down. Once that happened I think we finally got to see some moves and some racing. The 4 wide attempts were exciting even though Briscoe's didn't work, the finish was obviously exciting but I wasn't super pumped on the first 2/3 of the race. Good finish, good winner in the end so hard to complain about it but the die hard NASCAR fan in must complain. I'm sure 35 laps into the Vegas race I'll be begging them to knock it down and repave it like Atlanta when Chase Elliott has like a 9 second lead over Larson who was 7 seconds on Byron and so on and so on and FOX is taking their 2nd commercial break in 4 laps because literally nothing is happening.

not trolling, just interested as a new fan that hasn't watched since back when it was the winston cup: what should that race have looked like? what changes has nascar made that negatively affected the style of racing? i assume there's a push to create a spectacle for tv, with lots of crashes and such?
