2019 Nascar thread

this sucks, got all hyped up that racing is back and it rains.

I never started watching..

superspeedways are the absolute worst in nascar racing...if either of you remember the whole tandem racing on the superspeedways, it's basically become a 3 lap wreckfest and some random person wins the race or the leader leads them single file, like a parade, for 250 laps.

This is NOT racing...racing was done on the beach, on tracks that had character and the france family in their greed ****ing ruined a good thing. All of the nonsense that surrounds Daytona is just that nonsense.

If you want your biggest race to be the first, then **** all the stage and playoff bullshit. Restrictor plates ruined the superspeedways in the 80's and it's only gotten worse with every stupid alteration to the cars since.

I don't think it will ever be dead but Kansas is going to get a race cut and there is going to be lots more smaller tracks. Boomers are going to hate hybrid one lug nut 6 speed manumatic cars

Unless KS reworks into a unique track and not a 1.5m cookie cutter they're in danger of being dropped.

People of all ages are going to hate any sort of racing that doesnt involve the fastest cars available in the class. If the new generation which clearly doenst give a shit about todays racing shows up to watch a couple of pillowbitergotty cars with windmills, then hey, rock on...until that day, it's fossil fuels and internal combustion engines will rule the roost.

never realized how boring the Superspeedway races were until I went to a spring Talladega race a few years back(the one where my boy Chase flipped his car). You sit there and watch the cars go by you and then for roughly 2 and a half minutes there's nothing, you can see the cars way off in the distance and on the video screen. The atmosphere is still great, just a non stop party, but for actually watching the racing it sucked.

Prefer the shorter tracks like Bristol and Darlington, been to races at both and had a much better time. Bristol particularly the action is never not in front of you.

I grew up watching the sport in the late 80s into the early 90s(my favorite driver was Bill Elliott because as a kid I thought he resembled my grandmother; now Chase is my favorite), and while I fell off a bit in the mid 2000s I've since come back to it, and really the last couple of years have been pretty good. I don't like the Gibbs cars always winning, but other than that I find it mostly enjoyable. I'll be watching as long as it's around.

Bristol is sooo much fun..why there arent more tracks like that is an abomination...love me some darlington as well...Daytona and Talladega are for ****ing insomniacs and douchebags.

I was at that game! Probably the second best NFL game ever only because the CHIEFS lost. Was hoping for a SUPER BOWL rematch but Dee Ford had to nix it.

[backinblack]

at least today looks like a clearer day out

[SuperBowl4]

0% chance of TRUMP or rain

[SuperBowl4]

Kevin Harvick #4 almost wrecked the #10!

[SuperBowl4]

END OF STAGE ONE! Let the race turn to caution so we can all catch our breath! Everyone can now pit under caution without worrying about losing a lap! They'll be talking about Chase Elliott winning STAGE ONE of the 2020 Daytona 500 for years! This is Chase Elliott's 13th Career STAGE win!
