At dega you always have multiple car crashes. Product of the draft. Don't think aerodynamic of new car help with control on bump drafting. Car seems real unstable. Like to see them run the late 80's bodies on the new chassis at 900 hp

Who I want -  Bell, Reddick, Hamlin, and probably Byron (either Reddick or Hamlin winning title)

 

Who I think it will be -  Larson(wins Vegas), Byron(wins Martinsville), Bell (in on points), Hamlin (wins Homestead) -  Byron winning the title 

 

Just watch out for bitch ass Logano winning this Vegas race though and fucking everything up lol

Wonder if nascar rules bell eligible with how made up that last pass
I hope so because Austin Dillon/Chastain held up the whole field from passing Byron for 10 laps and then the Toyota boys pull the bigger gun out and give Bell the spot to get in.

Bell didn't intentionally try to go in and ride the wall Chastain style.

Bell either was trying to sell it wayyyy too much, or he had no communication that 23 was pretty much giving him the spot cause he didn't need to go overdrive that corner

well we know Chevy was blocking for the 24 and we know Bell was flat out against the wall so kick them both out.

All appealing......






NASCAR penalized the Nos. 1, 3 and 23 Cup Series teams for Member Conduct violations during Sunday‘s race at Martinsville Speedway.

After an investigation of the on-track data and team scanners from the final laps of Sunday‘s Round of 8 elimination race, NASCAR determined the actions of those involved violated sections 4.4.B&D: NASCAR Member Conduct of the Rule Book, which include race manipulation and actions detrimental to stock car racing.

Drivers Ross Chastain (Trackhouse Racing), Austin Dillon (Richard Childress Racing), and Bubba Wallace (23XI Racing) were each hit with a loss of 50 driver points and a $100,000 fine. In addition, NASCAR also fined the owners of each team $100,000 and deducted 50 owner points each.

Crew chiefs Phil Surgen, Justin Alexander and Bootie Barker, along with their respective spotters Brandon McReynolds, Brandon Benesch and Freddie Kraft, were all suspended for the 2024 season finale at Phoenix Raceway.

Additionally, team executives Tony Lunders, Keith Rodden and Dave Rogers were also suspended for the 2024 finale at Phoenix.

NASCAR seems to have lost touch with the recipe of success.  This is an opportunity for a startup of another racing series.  Then you'd see some real shit. 

I was a NASCAR fan for a longer than I like to admit.  I started losing touch when Stewart retired.  I kinda picked up fandom with Larson.  But the more I see the Car of Tomorrow or future or whatever they call it, I've decided to more or less move on.  I'm an IMSA fan today, not to say we don't or won't have it on Sunday but if we miss one or two races so be it.

why why why have the championship race in Pheonix? It's fucking boring.
Cause that track sells out.

Everyone seems to want it at Homestead, but no one goes to the races there so it won't happen.

All about that money

I'm at the race and it's a great venue. It's my second time at Phoenix (first time was last year) and I have been to 10-15ish championships at Miami, both as a resident, and then as a visitor. 

Both are about equal in my view, but the weed factor in AZ is not to be discounted.

Blaney's pass on Reddick took about 25 laps. There will eventually be some incredible loop data from that battle.

Tony Stewart made a run at a new series, but sold it to Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet, and they are running 61 races next year, with a dozen tracks added. This is from the sale last year:

Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet go 'all in' after buying sprint car series from Tony Stewart - Auto Racing Digest

And plans for next year

High Limit Sprint Car Series announces 61-race schedule for 2025 with 13 new tracks - NBC Sports

It's not NASCAR level, but at least people are trying new series.

And Formula 1 keeps growing in popularity.
