Good ole short track racing and aftermath at the the NASCAR All Star Race.

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!

If there's a bigger douche than Kyle, It's Wrecky. How he keeps his ride is one of the great mysteries of racing.

You're right, how could I have forgotten IndyCar? Clearly my bad. I'll add it. 1,100 miles of racing coming up Memorial Day weekend. Looks like Kyle Larson is going to do double duty.

Kyle Larson qualified 5th for Indy in his rookie debut, very impressive.

For me, I like drag racing, dirt late models and modified, nascar, Indy, supercross basically ppretty much all racing.

Watch all the videos from the link I posted. 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.

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.

I like F1, but there isn't a lot of action or passing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I really like short track racing. 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.

Daytona is 50 minutes from me, I’ll never go. My guide swears on going to Talladega every year. They go on a giant motorhome and stay on the infield.

You need to go and experience the Daytona 500. The whole week.

No, it’s not my thing. I get enough of those idiots when they drive south through US1. My favorite lunch spot is covered with bikers in March.
