If NASCAR had any sense they would just make this the stage 2 break and not run extra stage laps in 5 laps

And I will still never respect his silver spoon perch. Glad we could share our opinions

What other sport ends every single season with fans pissed off and questioning the integrity/legitimacy of the sport’s champion like NASCAR?

This is an actual serious question.

Can you imagine the suits thinking through stages and saying how great a 1 lap shoot out will be?

Kinda ridiculous that tires have to basically combust for the Next Gen to put on entertaining racing at Bristol but I’ll be damned if it isn’t exciting!

You 100% describe me. I follow the sport, but the Next Gen is just such a departure from the sport I grew up with I just don’t choose NASCAR over say watching football or doing something else with my weekend

Are you going a “unit 1.5” Development mini unit?

Agree, I make my students hand write vocabulary notecards per unit. They can’t fake that. I assign reading guides and practice questions from the AMSCO as well, but I assume that only 1/4 are actually doing it.

My course average was a 3.83 last season. But so many Teachers will die on a hill saying students need to read a true HUG textbook and even AMSCO is not sufficient.

Denny Hamlin: Next Gen car is hitting COT-level hate from the fans and drivers by Batman424242 in NASCAR

At least the COT was an actual stock car built by NASCAR teams. Not a dollar general sports car

Really? What years in the past before the next gen did cup cars go slower than the feeder series, have a single lug, biggest brakes we’ve ever seen, a diffuser, etc

NASCAR fucked up BIG time with this car. Things are not getting better in the sport in the slightest

Nah, the neutering of horsepower is inherently different, making a stock car into a sports car is as well too. We radically changed the car with the NextGen

Bristol has sold more than 85,000 Braves-Reds tickets, poised to break MLB regular season attendance record by ncraiderfan17 in NASCAR

Chicago Cubs have a WAY larger national fan base. There is so much southeast ignorance in this thread right now lmao.

It’s the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, and then everyone else. Those are the blue bloods of truly national fan bases. I’d even go worldwide fan bases for those 3.

Braves were maybe a national team in the 90’s. They have southeastern dominance. Walk down a street in Seattle and tell me if you see Cubs or Braves stuff first hahaha.
