hearing the announcement for the Truck championship format change will be next month.....

NASCAR released the 2016 Truck Series schedule, Richmond backed out so there is no additions, all current venues signed until 2020 for races so basically no changes for the next 5 years. :(

meanwhile in a recent NASCAR Fan Council Q&A, it suggested that the Xfinity Series is also getting a Chase-like format -_-

Holy shit, look at the pure, blind, insane audacity of those words in the top right corner: "Your Sport. Your Voice. Your NASCAR."

That's like when the judge thanks you for doing jury duty. The fucking balls it takes to say these things. I'm almost jealous of that wildly disconnected and unflappable ignorance of reality.

I see how it has "No more Cup drivers in the XF series" bolded as to draw attention away from this ridiculous idea, and they honestly don't need to do either. Almost like burying the lede. Just move XF races away from Cup dates. Cup drivers pollute XF races because Cup drivers can pollute XF races. The schedules are too similar.

too bad they can't move any races to other tracks now with the sanctioning agreements for all current Xfinity & Truck venues go to 2020 unless they wanted to break alot of contracts for all 3 series.

I read that as fulltime Cup drivers not competing in the chase series races at the end of the season.

Keeping Cup drivers from running any Xfinity and/or truck races is a ridiculous idea. The problem is that the lower divisions are over-saturated with Cup drivers right now. Just mandate the number of races they can run during the course of the season.

It has to mean that no full time Cup driver races in ANY Xfinity races. No way in hell would you even come close to 12 different Xfinity only drivers winning a race before the chase cutoff if you let Cup guys in.

RIP Kyle Busch making 100 Xfinity wins. :(

This would never happen and I apologize if it has already been mentioned, but a nice easy way to remove cup drivers without specifically restricting them is to simply remove the owners championship.

Their idea to keep fans interested is to create three identical series racing on the same tracks, using the same "championship" system that's driven away tons of fans over the last ten years.


This is a special kind of stupid.

Watching a lot of YouTube... what would IROC look if it was still around? They made a last ditch effort with the roadie at Daytona. I think they need it back.

I remember hearing something about Eldora. That would have been interesting.

They'd probably be running Camaro bodies.

I bet it'd be eight NASCAR drivers, three IndyCar drivers and one WoO driver. They'd run Daytona, Atlanta, Eldora and the Daytona Road Course in twelve equally-prepared Camaros. Eldora would be the best race of the season by far.
