i haven't watched it yet but i believe all the focus is placed on like 6 or 7 drivers. probably a smart move so as to not overwhelm with 30+ drivers

LOL at no crowd for tonight. Time to ditch this format forever.

dang, i can't believe the crowd is thin for a race that was supposed to run tomorrow as LA prepares for a cataclysmic rain storm! nascar really bungled this

they've tested and tried everything except the thing everyone actually wants (more horsepower)

why doesn't nascar do rain? is it just that at those speeds the visibility would be zero from spray?

the physics of high speed ovals make it functionality impossible to maintain grip

which drivers are assholes and which are good to like?

genuinely the answer is to just watch and pick for yourself, you're never going to get a straight answer from a bunch of dipshits on an internet forum. seems like you're already got a good idea of who you like and don't

i will say the most universally hated driver in nascar right now is probably ty gibbs, can't go wrong booing him

kidcoelacanth
Sep 23, 2009

he's right

finish was cool but the race was a bleak cross section of what nascar currently is and wants to be

both things can be true (and are)

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

High banking, hi drag, low power everywhere so dogbrain race fans can get their Sunday dose of dopamine

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?

to put it simply, atlanta used to be a normal 1.5-mile intermediate track (with all the good and bad that comes with), and a couple of years ago they added a shitload of banking to basically turn it into a mini-daytona/talladega, which rely on pack/draft racing

if you tune into vegas next weekend, that's what a more standard nascar race looks like. the pack racing is not the norm

the main thing to keep in mind is that like any racing series it's never going to be 100% bangers, there are good races bad races etc, don't let a single race color your perception of everything if you're new

race of the loving year. that loving kicked rear end top to bottom

he absolutely jumped but nascar's going to claim flexibility in the line because they don't want to deal with taking away a win, because nothing matters, eat arby's
