NASCAR needs to wake the **** up and understand they are 10 years at best from being irrelevant again.

10 years if they're lucky...can't hardly watch anymore and judging by the stands I'm not the only one

They refuse to acknowledge their problems.

What are they?

Win #100 for Penske Racing.

 

[hog88]

What are they?

Neither cars nor drivers have a personality anymore. All are essentially cookie cutter copies.

Cars... maybe.


The drivers don't have personalities? ...you lose me.

I'm watching on DVR and said the same to my wife. Ridiculous.

It's the same nbc that fans complained about in the early 00's.

That's not all NASCAR's fault its the tracks refusing to lower ticket prices.

We stopped going to Talladega 6 or 8 years ago when ticket prices +tax kept creeping to around $120.00 for tower seats times four plus $20/$25 to park and we never even bought food at the track because of the prices.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I lulzed.

Rick Allen: "Welcome back to Daytona..."

NBC in his ear: "Wrap it the f*** up, Allen, Cialis commercial in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...."

 

[gordonr24]

NBC is being ripped a new one from fans all around the country this morning. A lot of people noticed.

Funny stat. 47% laps during commercial breaks

It is an expensive weekend to go to the NASCAR race. Also you have to go out to the sticks.

 

[Burhead]

Win #100 for Penske Racing.

Racing Reference lists last night as win #97 so I'm not sure if that's true.

I looked at the page .....for whatever reason, they didn't credit Jeremy Mayfield's 3 wins under the Penske-Kranefuss partnership between 1998 -2000.

 

[doozer]

Can't blame them for getting as far away from Mayfield as possible.

 

[AirVol]

Tired of restrictor plate racing. Let 'em go.

Like Dale Sr. once said, “If you're not a race driver, stay the hell home. Don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Get the hell out of the race car if you've got feathers on your legs or butt. Put a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat that candy ass.”

 

[Toujours Pret]

Tired of restrictor plate racing. Let 'em go to the morgue, maybe take a fan or 8 with them too

Edited for accuracy.

Spot on.

With out plates, they'd have to move the stands so far back you couldn't see the track.

 

[Crew]

Heh. ....not enough gas to burn it down.

That was a race well run in his behalf.
