Monza and Suzuka provide boring races, but that doesn't take away the fact the tracks are nevertheless awesome. They're awesome to drive, drivers love them, in sim gaming they are great challenges, onboards look great, the tracks have tradition, the scenery is beautiful, there is punishing gravel an...
It's the perfect sponsor for the modern incarnation of NASCAR: it's an obnoxiously hyped, falsely-high energy, short-term-thinking boost with little to no real, worthwhile substance contained within. Post-NASCAR has found its partner in crime, and now we're left to watch them drive off the cliff, ha...
The length of races is only a problem because the youth of today expect everything to be a available instantly, back when we were kids nothing was instantly accessible and if you wanted to know what happened and didn't have coverage, you either had to watch the news to see if something happened or,...
What the fuck is this? Is this TBK? NASCAR rolls out the dumbest change ever (yes, even dumber than the Chase that I despise) and everyone is seriously just like, "eh, not as bad as it could have been." Are you all mad? They have quite literally destroyed everything that made NASCAR the po...
Another useless change, but I'm well beyond caring about NASCAR. Why is there this mindset that drivers need more encouragement to push harder for a better finish? Surely you go into each race and try and get the best finish possible? It's only the end of the season where drivers might play it safer...

i agree that nascar is currently being mismanaged. cutting downforce last year was the first positive change i'd seen in over a decade. however, to say nascar would still be thriving if put back to "normal" would be to ignore that our culture has largely changed. even the stick and ball s...
I had this whole post typed out but it doesn't matter. I truly believe the playoffs and the dismal racing are the two things that are the biggest problems that need to be sorted out. I also think that both of those are a hindrance to building the kind stars we grew up on. It's like, it's too random ...
Safe to say Bristol is the most intense track I've ever been around. I thought Daytona put a high load on your body but this place blows it out of the water. Never felt like my eyes were going to get sucked out of my head until yesterday. Super Lates are running .3 off the Cup track record. :o Had t...
What Phil is saying is that he wants them sent out in style... preferably a few of them over the fence, and at the very least a few side-winding snap-rolls. A late start isn't adequate time for optimal, massive carnage
