NASCAR Daytona Crashfest
Feb 19, 2018, 12:26 PM
|
|
NASCAR is going to have to do something to stop the crashfest at the end of races on restarts, sesp. at the restrictor plate tracks. But, restarts are becoming a very big problem at all of the tracks.Drivers are too aggressive and w/the restarts close to a segment finish, it is causing too many wrecks. There's two ways to stop the wrecks that take out half the field.
1. End blocking.(Indy series does not allow it)
2. Return to single file restarts, (W/Double file restarts, the leader of the race is penalized).
With either one of the above in use, the winner of races would be much different. The crash fests at the end of races and on restarts is getting out of hand.

the ability to drive a car AIN'T genetic.
Watching generationally rich kids and grandkids take laps is NOT my idea of entertainment. Put some fellers out there without two nickels to rub together and you'd have something worth watching.

Yeah. I'm glad that doesn't happen in other sports.
I've never heard of the son's of college FB coaches being on ole dad's team.

This is an unfair comparison. Nascar is different than other sports because 90% of a teams performance is on the driver. Will swinney doesn't make a lick of difference whether he plays or now. Not maybe if Dabo stuck him at QB it would be comparable but you got 11 guys on the field that make a difference, not 1.

You obviously don't know spit about NASCAR.
But keep showing your ignorance. W/O the hundreds of people who work to build a race car, the pit crews, crew chief, etc. performing as a team, the best driver in the world would never win a race.
Keep making up those excuses re. Coaches' sons. I have no problem with coaches'sons playing or being on the team. I was just showing you how ignorant you are by thinking NASCAR is the only sport that sons/ grandsons are part of a team.

This is what I've never understood about NASCAR in

recent years. I remember a time where it was considered unacceptable to just spin somebody out. You had to actually drive around the cars in front of you. Yeah, there was paint swapping and lots of nudging and bumping and such, but if you just intentionally knocked the #### out of somebody and put them into the wall, it was heavily frowned upon and payback was swift and certain. Now, there seems to be some kind of ridiculous, nonsensical, unwritten rule that it is perfectly fine to just drive all over anybody that's in front of you near the end of a race - well, sometimes. It's this huge gray area that is addressed (or not) on a case-by-case basis, with zero consistency or forethought. Hell, if it's okay to spin somebody out and drive the #### all over anybody that gets in your way, why not just start on the first lap and eliminate people all race long until you're the only one left? Just another reason NASCAR is stupid as hayull and has become an unwatchable mess.

You misunderstood. Spinning people out to win goes back to Nascar's inception in the 40s

based on the number of kids you have, I find that there is a 71.6% chance that one of your progeny will be a NASCAR driver.

I have yet to watch a race. I do the nascar thingy by picking random names i have heard. I think i have picked people that have retired a couple of times.

Nope.If that were the case,attendance and tv viewership would be up and not down.
If I want to see a place full of wrecked cars, I'll go sit for a few hours in my local junk yard. Admission is a Hail of a lot cheaper.
But, that's just me.

How much burning flesh and carnage is going on in your local junk yard? I've been to a few, and its rare to actually see pooling blood, brain matter, or anything on fire.

Yeah. Seeing that blood just pouring down those high banked tracks is pretty common and awesome. I especially like to see those slow motion reruns. Just makes it ooooze.
Not to mention fans getting splattered in the upper levels with all that gooey brain matter.
And those cars blazing w/the drivers being toasted like marshmallows and that burning flesh wafting through the stands. And the slow motion reruns really catch that horror in the eyes of the drivers as they perish.
Well, that just makes one want to go get a few hot dogs at the concession. And wash em down w/a few brews.
But, my favorite, the one you failed to mention, is when the cars come flying into the stands or when the engines come flying through the stands after the cars tumble ,roll, and then skim along the top of the catch fence, decapitating heads of hundreds of men, women and children: it's almost as good as seeing ISIS in action with their beheadings.
You obviously have been to more junk yards than having watched or been to a NASCAR race. But, those junk yards represent more death and carnage than all the Auto races ever run from the first day until eternity.

When they started closing the old traditional tracks for cookie cutter tracks like Michigan.
They tried to expand their market by turning their backs on towns like Rockingham.
For a town in the U.P. or wherever...
It is a joke and has been for 20+ years.
And when the likes of Jeff Gordon came along pimping his goober smooching self for any and all 700 sponsors after a race, the final nail was driven,
Goodbye NASCAR. Greed killed you.

Combo of the big tracks that suck getting 2 races a season and the finnicky car bodies. If they would go back to steel bodies instead of this crap where the car falls apart and more sub 1 mile race tracks that would be great.
