I don’t follow nascar but this change seems to be interesting. It’s somewhat comical but I think it’s probably needed. What’s impressive to me is how accepting so many people are to it. Doesn’t seem that the “integrity” of the sport is being sacrificed in their eyes...more so they are trying to keep the sport alive.
I’m one who is always interested in change. Supercross/Motocross, afterall, is an entertainment sport. A good chunk of races in the past few years were a snooze fest.

If ya ain't parked in Lot B, ya ain't no NASCAR fan.
The Shop
Also, I wonder if SX will go to NBCSN next year. It seems like they are making a push into Motorsports whereas FOX is looking to be more of a player in stick and ball and MMA. Having dirt motorcycle racing under one network could be pretty significant. What if you could buy a "NBC motorcycle gold package" that included commercial free streams of SX, MX and Dirt track (which has seen significant growth recently) for a tick over $100. Wonder if NBC could get roadracing from BEIN tv which it seems like no one has access to.
What am I missing, or are they just hyping it up to increase interest?
Pit Row
I kinda recall a IROC race being run on it.
IROC, that was a great series to watch.
Yeley just hit a ton, it's the non safer walls in heavy brake zones that are going to hand out neck stretchers ,these cars carry so much brake heat that it melts tire beads and loosing brakes gets you hurt.
This is a close to a figure eight race is it can be without a crossing in the middle
Sounds like it could end up being an interesting race. As for passing, Nascar is known for attempting to pass in areas that "normal" road race guys would rarely consider. Going three wide into Sonoma's Carousel, for instance.
That track is tight. With double file restarts, turns 1-3 are going to be fun to watch. Also, the stadium aspect allows for viewing of a lot of the action. It's cool to be able to see all of it where as the 2 other road courses are so big and spread out that you only see 1 turn.
They were carrying 172mph into the back straight kink and 160 into turn 17. That's a cool spot because every lap is like trying to get to pit road under green.
Lots of shifting. Not clicking paddles labeled up and down, but a real fucking lever where 3 can turn into 1 and end your day.
The best part. Most of the time at that track the outside wall catches the direct blast of the exhaust pipes, but now there are a lot of spots in the stands where those tail pipes point straight at your face. It was loud and I approved.
But yeah, it's going to be a crash fest.
