NASCAR is still a thing? Since they have been relegated to broadcasting on some public access channel buried in my cable package I never even stumble on a race anymore.

Oh and NASCAR races need to be shortened to like 250 miles. Make the gas tanks smaller and the tires wear out faster so you can still have all the pit stops. 3 - 4 hours for a race is rough ridin' stupid.

ratings definitely suck now. But i like having races on NBCSN somewhat. They had two rough ridin' hours of post race yesterday. While that's overboard, it's nice compared to the 15 minutes you used to have back on ESPN, ABC, etc.

Larson!

it was pretty cool seeing him and Elliot at the end. I still haven't picked my guy...but i'm down to Larson, Elliot or Blaney.

They've shortened a couple 500 milers to 400. Would like to see a few more done that way.

I usually don't catch many Sunday races anymore, enjoy the Saturday night races and any short track stuff, but Sunday night at Darlington should be a fun race to watch.

Yeah, he got screwed by that late caution. Like our last guy JG24, who needs to stop btw, Kyle is good on long runs.

The Daytona commercials during the Super Bowl made me realize I know nothing of this sport anymore, so I decided to look some stuff up and Jesus.

- It's now THE MONSTER ENERGY DRINK OF CHAMPIONS NASCAR CUP SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP or something. Man, I miss Winston Cup.
- They're running segments, kind of like heat races with a long final segment now, instead of full races.
- Tony Stewart is retired with Bowyer driving his car, and his team is now running Fords, WTF. TS is doing a lot of dirt racing this year.
- Chase Elliott will have a Hooters car this year.
- I think Jr. is still sketti brained and really doesn't want to run plate races anymore.
- Go Kyle Larson

I have no idea if I'll like the segment racing or not. I realize NASCAR was losing so many fans they had to try something, but damn...the product is so different. I'm glad Gordon got out when he did.

Jr hasn't seemed to give a eff for over 5 years now. Glad he is moving on and not going to continue to do this cause he feels he has too.

yes!  I played the crap outta a NASCAR game on my PS. If you continually restart the race over and over, eventually everyone would just drive around the track slow as crap.
Another one had a cheat that made your car turn indestructible. So i would just sit in the middle of the track and let cars hit and flip over me.
