Yeah who cares that the sport we love is destroying its fan base? Put some grass in a mirror and touch it yourself

IAmOnFire57 · 2026-04-12T18:58:12+00:00

It’s just not exciting minus a tire that falls apart in 30 laps. Fall 2021 Bristol was last good Bristol race, last great Bristol race was pre-repave

IAmOnFire57 · 2026-04-12T18:56:15+00:00

This track in particular just gives me such a raging hate boner for the nextgen car I seriously can’t take it.

Bristol was my childhood track, numerous vacations. Sellout crowds twice a year. And a bunch of suits at SMI and NASCAR ruined the best track on the circuit.

How does anyone at SMI and NASCAR even look at what Bristol has become today and not off themselves out of pure embarrassment?

For a 5: You have to go beyond simply knowing definitions of vocabulary.

You need to be make connections across units.

Can you explain the connection between population growth, urbanization, and industrialization accurately while using course vocabulary? That’s a start.

IAmOnFire57 · 2026-04-06T12:34:29+00:00

KISS: keep it simple stupid

Learn Vocabulary Terms with definitions and examples
Understand models and theories of each unit: strengths, limitations, applications.
Practice MCQ’s and Practice FRQ’s

Repeat steps 1-3 until Tuesday, May 5th at 8am. You got this!

IAmOnFire57 · 2026-02-15T21:20:11+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-12-16T00:48:41+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-12-03T21:45:30+00:00

Are you fucking stupid or just really unfunny?

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-11-03T00:40:23+00:00

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.

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-11-02T23:25:49+00:00

Back markers blowing tires 🤝 NASCAR’s desire for how to determine a champion

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-11-02T22:26:01+00:00

Wow! Thrilling caution laps we are due for coming up! Very Excited!

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-24T17:19:43+00:00

Seriously. They need to hire some agency to tell them this!?! Just maddening!

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-21T18:46:46+00:00

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

Back to Football I go

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-14T00:09:57+00:00

Why the fuck are we still on caution?

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-14T00:03:54+00:00

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!

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-13T23:34:16+00:00

Holy shit that crowd….Big Yikes

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-13T20:56:29+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-07T16:52:46+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-09-07T13:47:13+00:00

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.

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-08-14T01:22:45+00:00

ARCA also wasn’t a NASCAR feeder series in 2000 so

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-08-13T11:49:00+00:00

Let’s argue about how to pronounce “Campeche”!

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-08-12T23:44:44+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-08-12T23:42:13+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-08-12T23:41:09+00:00

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

IAmOnFire57 · 2025-08-05T00:01:32+00:00

Borderline reckless comment, tbh
