Please be the Road Course.... PLEASE be the Road Course

 

[Ganon83]

It's probaby the segment anouncements

 

[GTFan24]

*sigh* is it really this 🤬

 

[GTFan24]

Do you agree with what Larry Mac says?

If it would do something other than loop that Damn Coke commercial, I might could tell you.

What they did was a start. The ultimate goal should be no admittance into lower series at all.

How does that really differ from last year's monumentally horrible All Star Race?

Kirby seems to be the only one reporting it, probably for a reason...

I don't even know who this guy is but I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere and it might have been here too, that Carl was considering running for the senate?

He didn't rule it out.

Post is largely FAKE NEWS! but the Gibbs stuff about selling the team to Carlos Slim is pretty interesting

He also coined the vortex theory .

I've decided that despite what I said a couple weeks earlier, I'm going to give the new NASCAR format a chance through the first few races of the season.

I wonder when there will be a Daytona 500 entry list?

 

[GTFan24]

Well, Truex will be sponsored at The Clash by 5HR, Kenseth by Interstate Batteries

I like Hyundai the best.

 

[EngieDiesel]

This is making me wish that Audi would make a NASCAR-spec mockup as an April Fool's joke, just to see how fast the Internet misinterprets it and goes into full idiot mode.

McMurrays scheme for the Clash;

Does anyone else think Caterpillar when they see it?

It just makes me hungry.

Larson knows whats up

1. Dodge Forever
2. Honda should already be here to play off Toyota.
3. Hyundai is OK, not spectacular. Just like their cars.
4. Audi and the Audi-in-NASCAR fetish morons can GTFO. Especially since NASCAR will be commercially dead in two years anyway at this rate.

Nascar will probably bust Audi for using illegal diesel

So here's another reason why attendance at races has been going down, and it's one I don't think most people have thought of: hotel price gouging on race days. Seriously, $500+ a night on Daytona 500 weekend for a decent hotel?

I know NASCAR isn't the only event that spikes hotel prices, but given how tight people have been with their money the last few years, I can understand why they wouldn't want to pay three, four, five times the cost of a ticket just to avoid sleeping at the Bedbug Inn off the turnpike.

That's actually the reason why I only go to one race a year. Between the race tickets, hotel/campsites, and travel, it's just too expensive.

Don't know what our hotel cost for Daytona weekend as my dad booked the room, but I'm pretty sure it is anywhere near $500 a night.

We stay in either Jacksonville or St Augustine though.
