The plates are gone.

Shit, I forgot no more plates. I wonder how different it'll be now with more throttle response.

https://www.poconorecord.com/news/20190 ... tor-plates

According to this article, NASCAR does have the ability to make some tweaks this weekend if necessary (though no details on what those tweaks would be are provided). I just assumed they'd bring a range of tapered spacers and deploy them as needed, just like they used to with the plates.

The Xfinity race has only 37 cars, with one not even having a driver at this stage. Taking out the usual start and parks, there's probably only 30 competitive cars, possibly even less.

This sport is so healthy if they can put it in a box and sell it at Whole Foods for way more than its worth.

There's also only 26 cars for tomorrow's ARCA race. It's just sad.

If a half dozen of 'em start and park before lap 10, there's less chances.

Also with less cars, Decker can look more like a "superstar"
