Wat. Award points for where you are at a certain point in the race? Have they gone insane? I'm all about the "Gilette Halfway Challenge" like they used to have back in the 90s, where someone got $10k or $25k or something for being the leader at the halfway point. But actual points? Um....no.

Only a few years away from the Denslow Cup!

Watching the "enhancements" press conference. Let's just say that my Sunday afternoons and Saturday evenings have been freed up.

Yeah because he isn't even good enough to be in Indy Car anymore and he still beat out F1 and Nascar drivers.

 

[Bdub]

These are soon bad. Just when I think Nascar can't do anything worse.

 

[goblue96]

Never underestimate Brian France's ability to fuck something up.

 

[Wolfman21]

My god. 3 stage races where the top 10 gets points at each stage? Holy fucks sake. Fuck you nascar...lol

 

[JAR201166]

Wtf

Who is in after he retires?

 

[goblue96]

God only knows. His son if Brian has been allowed to reproduce.

 

[Wolfman21]

Im not watching that shit. Im not

 

[goblue96]

Was this question asked and if it was, was it answered? Will stage wins count as Cup wins for record keeping purposes?

 

[Wolfman21]

Who knows? Remember last years all star race where no one had one fucking clue what was going on? I see that happening over and over again this year. This is a fucking disaster.

 

[goblue96]

Are the stages at regular intervals or whatever the fuck Brian France feels like making them after he wakes from his latest drinking binge?

 

[Bdub]

One has to ask how does Brian France think these changes are going to increase revenue? Doesn't he have some kind of advisory board to tell him how stupid his ideas are?

[JAR201166]

Is the caution clock still happening lol

 

[goblue96]

No, it got eliminated in favor of the manufactured "stages."

 

[Wolfman21]

The long green flag runs were where the best racing came from. Fuck you nascar

 

[JAR201166]

I've not seen one positive post about this on NASCAR's page or anywhere lol

nope. Every single comment i've seen from fans has been that this shit sounds terrible. The only people trying to pump this shit up is those directly associated with nascar

Lol he is so bad

 

[Wolfman21]

Not as bad as his daughters

 

[JAR201166]

I always enjoy the ARCA race at Daytona not real long people make moves reminds me of the old NASCAR

 

[Mr. Tennessee]

Did you know that last year was the first time that I watched zero races? I never thought I'd live the day to see that, but it actually happened. Sounds like these rule changes means NASCAR has jumped the shark in credibility for good.

Throwback to the 24th Anniversary of the Dale and Dale Show. Credit to Ken Squier and Neil Bonnett for getting out of the way in the booth and letting Ned bring 'em home.

Actually, 11:35 am.

Rain forces postponement of Daytona Clash to Sunday: Persistent rain on Saturday night forced postponement of the Advance Auto Parts Clash at Daytona. The race has been rescheduled for Sunday morning, with green flag at 11:35am/et, broadcast on FS1 (coverage starts at 11:00am/et). The Clash will precede Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series qualifying for the Daytona 500, which is scheduled to take place at 3:00pm/et Sunday at Daytona International Speedway.

 

[goblue96]

The Daytona International Speedway stadium admission gates for Clash ticket holders will open at 10:30am. Qualifying ticket holders will not be admitted until 2pm. Qualifying ticket holders wanting to also attend the Clash can upgrade to a general admission ticket for $30.

Fuck you, NASCAR....Fuck you!
