Chicago?

Meh. Gimmick

Agreed. I don't like the idea of NASCAR on a street course.

 

[VaBornVol]

If NASCAR wanted to do a street course, they should’ve done it in some small town in North Carolina.

Evaluating NASCAR's reconfiguration of Atlanta Motor Speedway

I love the reconfiguration of Atlanta, as much as I loved the old one. It was the best of the intermediate tracks. I don’t necessarily agree that all of the other tracks need to be reconfigured, but Texas would benefit from a similar reconfiguration. That would save the track.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I don’t know how I feel about the new Atlanta. The old Atlanta was a bit of a snoozer, but it felt pure. The new one in the spring was interesting, but I don’t know if I loved it. Today it seems to be a good mix between speed and handling.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I also think the track is now one of the most dangerous on the calendar. Been a lot of hard licks at the new configuration.

 

[robbymoore94]

New Atlanta seems like gimmick racing. It’s not really bad, just not my cup of tea. I preferred the old Atlanta with higher powered cars. It gave the driver some control of their fate.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Chastain ain’t winning a title this year. Hamlin and about 10 other drivers will see to it.

I feel like it's just popular to hate on Chase now. Corey had a run but that block really wasn't late he never got to Chase's quarter panel he hit him in the back and lost it.

 

[gordonr24]

Heartbroken for Lajoie. Chase didn’t do anything wrong. It’s the final lap and you have to throw an aggressive block at the potential expense of others.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Would have been interesting if Corey just left his foot in it.

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

Man I was pulling for Lajoie...it's been awhile since I wanted a driver to win as much as I wanted to see Lajoie get that win. Dang.

Good for Tyler and 23XI.

Good for Tyler and 23XI.

Hopefully they can field him an acceptable pit crew

NASCAR legend Bobby East fatally stabbed in California; police searching for suspect

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Best run of Bubba’s cup career. So happy for him.

He avoids a lousy final pit stop and he takes the win, I’m confident of it.

Their actually going through with this insanity. On the weekend before the 4th of July as well. Traditionally one of Chicago's most dangerous.

Just plain dumb.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

But not a penalty for Bell the week prior.

But not a penalty for Bell the week prior.

And that's why judgment calls suck. It's either a penalty if the wheel comes off or isn't. I can see the changer getting suspended, but not the crew chief. He has nothing to do with it.

This is going to be stupid. Im so tied of all the damn road courses. Stock Cars are for ovals. If you want to watch road courses go watch indy or F1
