AztecAlien Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Good ole short track racing and aftermath at the the NASCAR All Star Race. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10121731-ricky-stenhouse-jr-kyle-busch-fight-on-video-after-2024-nascar-all-star-race.amp.html Here's what started it.

SDSUfan Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 NASCAR F1 Indycar, which you left off of your list, proving that you are in fact, a communist. McLaren appears to be catching Red Bull. At Imola today, Lando finished only .7 behind Max and was catching him. He just need 1 more lap. Indy 500 next weekend Charlotte next weekend ( boring track) Monaco next weekend Race fan heaven! 1 1 Quote “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.” -Richard Feynman "When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators." -P.J.

I'll add it. 1,100 miles of racing coming up Memorial Day weekend. Looks like Kyle Larson is going to do double duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I like drag racing, dirt late models and modified, nascar, Indy, supercross basically ppretty much all racing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Tells everyone interviewing him after he got wrecked that he was going after Busch. He also parked his wrecked car in Kyle Busch's pit stall. The one video where Ricky is just casually sitting there waiting is pretty good too. I was watching it live. "Maybe Richard (as in Rick Childress,) will hold my watch after the race." Old School Style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofNPackFan Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 F1 - although I would like for them to figure out a way to make it more competitive again. Maybe add more required tire changes, I gets a bit boring when drivers go into tire management mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'd like to see at least 2 more required tire changes. They lose a lot of tire performance when they push to hard or follow behind too closely for a long time, and because of this, they try to get the most out of their tires so they have minimal pit stops. IMO, if they have 4 required tire changes then I think drivers will push harder and this would create more action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, if they have 4 required tire changes then I think drivers will push harder and this would create more action. They need to change the DRS rules to be more like Indycar PTP. Instead of only allowing DRS if you're within 1 second of the car ahead of you, make it anytime use but time limited. Make it another resource to be managed by the engineers and race directors. I think there's a strong bias in F1 against too close racing. The cars are too expensive to tear up and FIA limits the number of spare parts and engines that teams can bring into the season. Close...but not too close is what they strive for.

rebelcuff Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 My buddy kind of got me into nascar this year just for betting purposes. It's kind of boring but I like it better than nba basketball. I've been to Daytona before. Even if you aren't into it a live race is something everyone should see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat_Your_Dried_Fruits Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Sprint cars and outlaws. Fresno used to be a big racing town when we had the Kearny Bowl and local legend Billy Vukovich back in the 1950s-1970s. I watch nascar here and there, but I didn’t grow up as interested in watching racing as my father and uncles. Grew up with go-karts, quads, dirt bikes, etc and would race with friends and naturally become of that we would attend local races around the valley.

NASCAR is heavily track dependent when it comes to how entertaining the races are. The "restrictor plate" races, Daytona, Talledega, Atlanta are fun. The oddball tracks, Pocono, Dover are cool. The road courses, Road America, Sonoma, Watkins Glen are also fun. I can't stand the cookie cutter 11/2 ovals. It's like watching paint dry. Short tracks, a favorite of many NASCAR fans, are only okay to me.

However, NASCAR screwed Bristol up when they did the reconstruction. It's not even close to being the same. I would also like see cutting some of 1 1/2 mile tracks out. Way too many.
