Kyle deserves a lot of kudos for not sending him off turn 4.

Superspeedways suck.

Quoting this because I can only “like” it once.

Besides the finish and the crashes, nothing memorable happens at Dega and Daytona. It’s just ride around and wait for the crash.

While I’m at it, the championship format is goofball. 35th car in points gets locked in after a random, janky win.

Don't care how they did it, my Wood Brothers team finally got their 100th win. It's great to see the 21 back in victory lane. These speedway races usually turn into "Survivor" and that's how it goes.

If they are going to have the playoffs, it should be Top 16 (12 in Xfinity and 10 in Trucks) then add in the Playoff points. If you got wins and outside Top 16, sorry, you should not have stunk all year.
Being in Top 16 (that is too many) should not be hard for a legitimate Champion.

The way they do it now doesn't produce a real champion. A real champion accumulates points during the year and ends up with the championship.

I agree completely.

Another road course

I don’t love road courses. If it’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, I’ll be happy though.

 

[YankeeVol]

Agreed.

These cars aren’t designed for road courses. They’re designed for speed.

All these playoffs are a bunch of nonsense.
Points system should be like it was in the
1990s. Based on consistency throughout
The season. This is a response to orange maniac.

Man that Larson wreck was startling.

Hate that the Bristol night race is right in the middle of football season. You think with Knoxville and Blacksburg so close, they wouldn’t do it in September.

Super excited for this weekend. I will be in attendance in the Moss Thornton Tower for my 6th straight year for the Talladega fall race.

Hoping rain stays away. Rain has messed up several of the October Talladega races in recent years.

MJ-led suit: NASCAR, France family are 'bullies'

Two NASCAR teams, one co-owned by Michael Jordan, filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the stock car series and chairman Jim France, claiming the new charter system limits competition by unfairly binding teams to the series, tracks and suppliers.

I don't know if you all have seen it on all the social media sites but former driver Greg Biffle has been doing major work with his helicopter in western North Carolina.

Since I was in the stands Sunday why were Elliott, Burton, Nemechek, and one other all allowed to be towed to the pits and work on their cars ?

Blaney wasn't allowed to couple weeks ago. Is there a difference ?

Also, why was the yellow thrown but the field sat still on the backstretch for what felt like several minutes ? That allowed a few guys extra time to work on their car without worrying about losing a lap.

No real answers from what I’ve seen. I was driving back home from Arkansas and didn’t see it live but I know they were very critical on The Teardown last night.
