2017 season thread

Strong rumor that 2018 Charlotte fall race will be a road course race.

I completely forgot about that. That would work.

Never been a fan of NH.

I can tolerate New Hampshire. Dover, Kansas and Chicagoland would've been better candidates to lose a race in my opinion. Although then again, I'm a proponent of shrinking the season down to 30 races and having it end at the end of September, even though I know that won't likely happen any time in the near future.

I barely watch any Nascar in the chase. Too occupied by football season so I kinda like your idea.

Smh, Nascar just replaced the 2018 New Hampshire chase race with a 2nd race at Las Vegas.

Fans : "we want more unique tracks and less 1.5 mile tracks.
Nascar: "ok, here's another 1.5 mile track".

And they wonder why they're losing fans in droves.

30 races would be an improvement. Even getting down to 32 running from Valentine's Day weekend to Labor Day weekend would be a decent first step.

Haha Busch dominated and doesn't get the win.

Keselowski, Harvick crew chiefs suspended

RIP Pete Hamilton

Looks like Larson is on the pole for the race in California tomorrow, followed by Hamlin.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's see. I watched the start of the race at Fontana and Larson was leading. I go do nearly two hours of errands and I come back with 60 some laps left and Larson is still leading the race. Typical with this ridiculous mind-numbing product.

 

[Retroram52]

Lol! Jimmy Johnson does a left-hand turn to avoid Truex Jr. in the pits. Ended up perpendicular to the wall.

 

[Retroram52]

Lots of wrecks in the closing laps. Going to go to overtime. Larson still looks like he has the best car, I suppose.

 

[bksballer89]

Congrats to Larson. Kid is a stud

 

[Retroram52]

Larson wins it, duh?

 

[pitman]

Good see the little guy get the win.

two random thoughts after 5 races

one of those, "if the season ended today"......Jimmie Johnson would NOT make the playoffs

Danica has gotten worse.....you would think after all this time she would atleast be running around 15th, and she can't even do that. Can't really blame SHR anymore because even Bowyer is starting to run more up front than before. IMO, she is done after the 2018 season

 

[Retroram52]

She is a token vagina that makes merchandising money for her sponsors and owners that keeps her around. Her existence allows everyone running this dog and pony show to feel good about their progressiveness and to stave-off any criticism that NASCAR is sexist. As a driver, she really is done BPNAZ.

Jayski: Cautions by LaJoie and Gaulding impact Auto Club race

Which is exactly why there needs to be stricter requirements for racing in the Cup series. Enough of this pay to play shit.

 

[Retroram52]

Kyle Busch leads the race at Martinsville. Snoozer. Doing errands and will return for the end of the race, I guess.

 

[pitman]

Just showed overhead shot, looks as if the place is about half full.

 

[bksballer89]

Dale Jr should have just retired last year. He's been awful this season

Yeah, poor turnout today. I hung out in the campground for the first half of the race and couldn't believe how many empty seats there were considering how great the weather was.
