Post subject: | Talladega (Cup, Xfinity, ARCA) |
NASCAR's first race back with limited spectators (from the general public) is this weekend at Talladega - which is now in June due to the COVID outbreak. Running this weekend includes the NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday, and a doubleheader on Saturday featuring the NASCAR XFINITY Series & ARCA Menards Series. This weekend will only see the races itself once again for Cup & XFINITY, to limit time at the track for teams in light of the COVID outbreak. ARCA will have a practice session in the morning however. Entry Lists: NASCAR Cup Series - 40 cars entered NASCAR XFINITY Series - 39 cars entered ARCA Menards Series - 21 cars entered Other Essentials: MRN Radio - (Local Affiliates) Online Scanner (Team Radio) Random Fantasy Racing Game Weather Forecasts: Talladega Paint Scheme Preview (NASCAR.com) FOR DISCUSSION ON OTHER NASCAR + ARCA SANCTIONED SERIES & SHORT TRACK RACING: ARCA Menards Series ARCA Menards Series - East ARCA Menards Series - West NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour NASCAR Pinty's Series NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series NASCAR Whelen Euro Series Local Racing (Late Models, Modifieds & Stock Cars) |

The way I look at it that means we'll be at a record low of only 21 potential additions to the big air list. |

I'd like to think that it's only the cars that lag back 20 car lengths from the main pack and end up 3 laps down at the end that haven't shown up for the ARCA race, but somehow I doubt that. That's gonna be like, what, 15 competitive cars max? That assuming they don't have any SNAFU in practice and wreck a few before the green Oh well, it's not the only race of the day, just treat it as a warm up for the XFinity race and it'll be ok |

For how long this race-sessions-only week(end) schedule will be in effect? Beginning to feel more like a permanent change for the rest of the season when at the same time they're trying to have as many races as possible. They could still make it a bit more efficient by cutting the Cup race and having instead two Xfinity races. |

James Davison has been told by NASCAR to wait a week for his oval track debut in Cup, as the practice sessions for Talladega were scrapped. deggis wrote: For how long this race-sessions-only week(end) schedule will be in effect?

It will be this way until it's safe enough for the series to do multi-day shows again - which honestly at this point, I think we are closer to a second lockdown of American motorsport as a whole if the virus keeps spiking here in NC/SC (gut feeling / personal opinion of course, hopefully it doesn't come to that) TV contracts is forcing NASCAR's hand to run all of the races - if / where possible. |

This is the reason the car count for ARCA is so low. Look at the purse |

That basically just pays for the cost of one composite body, which I believe are/were $15k. |

To put that in perspective, that's less money than most dirt Super Late Model races if you exclude 1st and 2nd. Hell, we run for $3500 to win on Saturdays with the Big Block. That's 13th place ARCA money for just a Saturday night. |

Again I am confused; from what I have read the composite bodies are working out significantly more expensive than the steel ones? At this point I presume this series demise is not down to incompetence, NASCAR is running this series into the ground on purpose. |

Doesn't matter how few cars you run, some will always hang back to avoid the big one I guess this'll be only worth watching from the mysterious late caution from about 15 to go..... |
