Last night when I watched the truck race they kept saying bumping is allowed but pushing is not

Damn. The end of that race was purdy damn good. I hate seeing Kryle win but that boy can drive. he made an awesome move to get the win.

Is it really an accomplishment to beat a bunch of drivers that would run at the back in the Cup series?

In that situation, yea, I think it was. He raced him clean and made an impressive move to get around him coming off turn four, down the front stretch. These truck guys aren't all bums. They may not be the cream of the crop, but they can still get it done and they still have great equipment under them. Again, I can't stand Kryle but that move was sweet.

Shitty post race coverage by Fox Sports. I really miss the speed channel now. You can't find any postrace coverage at the moment. FS1 is showing motorycle racing while FS2 is showing the UFC event from saturday. I'm very disappointed

Dale Jr was the fastest in practice today

Do the points even matter now with the new chase set-up? Win a race and you're in, right? I haven't read through all the changes thoroughly enough to understand them yet. I just think from what I do understand that this makes the points less relevant. Maybe that could lead to better racing? IDK .....

No, nothing matters anymore.

In 10 years Nascar will start awarding championships like it's the grammy's.

Fun fact! The first 3 races of the season have seen ratings tank around 15%. That's a pretty damn big dropoff.

that is because the races don't mean anything anymore. Just to the winner is all. So the non diehard fans will wait til the chase to tune in.
Good job Brian fucking up the sport I love! Cup no longer has Champions. Now they will have contest winners.

Interesting. I wonder if the rain delay at Daytona had a lot to do with those numbers too?

I'm sure the rain affected that race some. But when the other two races are down percentage points in the teens also? That's a trend.

Where are we this week?

 

[bksballer89]

Bristol....I'm actually looking.forward to it

Vegas isn't an exciting track. I want to see how the numbers are this week at Bristol
