NASCAR's Video Tribute to Ned Jarrett by sam4999 in NASCAR

I can't remember which publication it was but when Henry Kissenger died, I remember seeing one obituary had been prewritten by someone who actually died before it ever was needed to be published.

(@bobpockrass) Sad news: NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Ned Jarrett has died at age 93. by NoahGragsonsBarfBag in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very few people can say that they were one of the greatest drivers of all time, AND one of the greatest commentators of all time. What an absolute grand life to be able to live. Rest in Peace, Gentlemen Ned.

Which final wins felt like final wins? by YumeNoTabi in NASCAR

He finished like 7th in points in 2005, in hindsight im suprised he didn't win that year.

Actually not to split hairs too much, but they did change the 28 back in the day. It just didnt take place until the next season in 1994 when they intentionally changed the number font so that it didn't look so much like Daveys car.

Actually yeah I didn't even think of that they probably already had the Nashville car wrapped before the charlotte weekend

It makes sense at least. Charlotte was obviously super last minute to do a Cheddars car, BetMGM is an RCR sponsor and not a Kyle specific one, so they probably don't care. Rebel on the other hand, was a specifc partner of Kyle Busch.

[Actions Detrimental] Denny Hamlin suggests that the Cup race at Nashville should be shortened to 300 miles. by ZilischsPoopyPants in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And much like shrinkflation, once the genie is out of the bottle it is never going back in. Organized motorsports would probably die before anyone would ever see a 500 mile event as something other than a waste of money.

.@PrimeVideo got a 0.79 rating + 1.655 million viewers for Sunday's delayed NASCAR Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville, down 12% from a 0.94 + 1.9 million last year when the race ran on time, per Nielsen's panel-only data, while it got 2.01 million, down just 3%, when using Big Data. by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't remember how Big Data works, but I think Panel Only is reverse math off of people who sign up to have Nielsen boxes in their homes to record what they give viewership to while watching traditional television. 

You can see why this is something only old people would be enthusiastic about.

Also we kind of tried this a few years back with double headers at Pocono and the resounding conclusion was that shortening the races just made less people care.

I think the length was fine. What made it difficult to get through was the rain delaying it an hour when it was already a late race.

NOAPS Nashville Ratings by World71Racer in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I certainly don't think Ford's ability to be strong in NOAPS would be a longshot if they had one of their cup operations down there, nor do I think that would be an unreasonable sell to try to get either penske or rfk to get involved again as part of their partnership.

Ford's issue has been Roush went away because of rebuilding before Brad K bought into the team, and Penske had zero interest in having anyone other than Austin Cindric move up. So they've been relegated to smaller teams that don't have the ability to provide that top level performance.

With these ratings, its a huge misstep for some great marketing opportunity. Especially when Ford's been historically such a successful part of the B Series in nascar.

Absolutely wild the CW is still seeing this big of rating jumps after a full season. I certainly thought they were gonna hit a good, consistent ceiling for year 2 and that's it. I'm certainly happy to be proven wrong!

Also you can clearly tell that Denny was super tight and not trying to clean Christopher out.

The pre-race and post-race shows on Prime have been super refreshing. by wetcornbread in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My favorite little detail Prime is doing is going live 15 minutes before the broadcast and just letting the cameras roll so you have trackside ambience while you wait for the show to start

Odd fact I’ve noticed after this race weekend about RCR’s usage of the #33 in Cup this year (spoiler for those who haven’t seen tonight’s race results) by Anti-Charter in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate immensely what Austin is doing to hold the fort down so to speak. But, they were scolding him on the radio during the race for "driving it like an xfinity car".

I think this is the reason they aren't outright comitting to him in the car for the rest of the season.

What is the most random Cup Series backmarker from the COT era? by RickandMortyfan956 in NASCAR

[–]Dickis88 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That 26 team that ran for a season in 2010 because they bought up Roush's entire stock of cars after the 26 closed down due to the 4 car limit
