Lets all pray that this race can somehow be better than the CLASH where 17 vehicles of the 20 were involved in one crash and the race ending on a RED flag because of rain. Then there was the truck race where 9 trucks finished the race out of a field of 35. Speaking of Xfinity that race was a follow the leader and don't you dare bump draft to much or you will get Black flagged race. BORING!  I saw a commercial yesterday during the Xfinity race promoting tickets for today's race. Nascar has lost me as a true fan, I will watch this race and Talladega then fast forward to the championship race which will signal the opening of deer season.  Dirt track racing is going to gain leaps and bounds on NASCAR this year and I intend to visit a few tracks this year and partake in the excitement. |

I’d say much of the same following the leader till the last 50 than crash after crash till we’re down to 10 good cars 10 with taped parts or missing parts should just run a 25 lap heat and call it a day now that I’d watch with out a nap.

If your not watching the short track Nascar races then your missing out.....The super speedway races (car/truck) are most always crash infested especially at the very end! |

Yeah...that's a product of Super Speedway racing....to many equal cars not enough cheating like "back in the day"  |

I like big tracks and restrictor plates as long as they can draft all they want.
I also like creative engineering........as long as you don't get caught.

I hear after Daytona next year the plates will no longer be used They are going to a tapered spacer... some races this year will also be using a tapered spacer also. Your never see a race at a super speedway that unrestricted! |

I wish they would go back to the 90s. Take the restrictor plates off, lay the spoilers flat, give the drivers all the power and no down force and let them run.
Then again, I wish the cars had to fit the production car templates. I'm okay with all the other team specific builds and technology advances, but the outside should look like the car they say it is.

In an obscure bit of hunting related trivia...what tie-in does the guitar Jake Owen used in the pre-show have to the hunting industry?

THIS!! Also go back to using the motors that are available in the production cars. i.e. if the car is a front wheel drive car with a v6, then if you want to run that body style, you gotta run that motor/trans. If you want to put a V8 in it, then you gotta build and sell 500-1000 units to the public with that drive train in it. The racing was a lot more interesting when it wasn't cookie cutter cars. Daytona is sold out, but the other races won't be and NASCAR is loosing fans left and right. |
