Sucks that NASCAR forgot about their fanbase and only chased the $. I remember and watched a ton as a kid on TNN and a couple other obscure cable channels when I was at someone who had cable, like my dad or a friends house, but we were poor and didn't have cable. Then it came to regular TV because it got popular and then it got so popular they gave it back to cable and changed the rules a zillion times and now I can't watch it again :rofl:

It all started in 2001. Then Toyota came. Then Winston was dropped. Drivers started to get whiney. Then stages. Then the Playoff fiasco. Now this unsafe wheel breaking Next Gen car.

Get rid of restrict plates and let these teams make faster cars by letting them improve the parts they’re forced to buy

No problem with Toyota...don't care what the top sponsor name is. Stages are ok but not great. Playoff is dumb. Next gen car looks good but has some safety issues. Would love for them to not have to deal with "tapered spacers".

Even though I wasn't a fan, I pretty much stopped caring after Earnhardt was killed and went from watching every race to occasional races. When they switched to the chase BS I quit watching pretty much completely other than the road courses...

WTF rain delay? In typical lol NASCAR fashion they are overreacting to rain after they made a bad call and kept cars out earlier this year.

It would be better if they had the chase and a prize for the rest to race for. Maybe pole position in the next Daytona 500

As someone who hasn’t watched Nascar in years and for some reason decided to put on the race right now, can I get some cliffs on what’s up with these tires and also am I alone in hating how these cars look

Low profile. They went from a 15 inch wheel to an 18 inch wheel. They had to revamp the entire tread compound. Tires go flat if the car goes sideways from the sidewalk rollover most of the time. The cars don’t turn as easily either. The next Gen car sucks

Got it, sounds annoying to watch.

Thank you.
