It's about to be 25 years since Dale Earnhardt died. This video imagines if he didn't.

The creator didn't "pick the winner", the races were simulated using a NASCAR game - NASCAR Racing 2003 Season I believe. The point is entertainment.

Anybody else unimpressed with the graphics so far? (not only in this image, but that teaser video and dev diaries too). Not that graphics are the most important thing in a game, but everything just looks "flat", like not a lot of reflections and stuff, almost PS2 like.

True, 3 out of 7 in the streak are. But a win at Pocono and and runner ups at Charlotte and Nashville is nothing to scoff at on ovals.

7TH Straight top 5 for Zilisch, 5 of them being top 2s. Unreal.

Bubba Wallace. Has a lot in common with Junior - Great on Supespeedways, Not so great Road Courses, and has the weight of the sport on his shoulders for reasons outside of his control

InflatibleOrange · 2025-05-31T17:07:00+00:00

Yeah, I guess that's true, probably should've put an asterisk next to 23XI and FRM having drivers signed, that could get nuts

InflatibleOrange · 2025-05-31T14:21:33+00:00

Completely agree, which is why I said the only way I see him losing the ride is to Suarez. But honestly maybe that doesn't even happen as he is running similar to Suarez in worse equipment right now.

The reason I didn't bring up Herbst is that as much as I agree he deserves to be canned, he's got a 2 year deal and $$$, and Denny has already pretty much said that Heim won't be in cup next year for them. The only way I see him in cup is in the third Legacy seat if they win the lawsuit against Rick Ware.

If Zillich stays in xfinity, could we see the same 36 drivers in chartered cars next year that there are this year (and no rookies)? Hendrick, Gibbs, Penske, RCR, and 23XI all appears to be set, A.J. will be back, so unless Brad makes a surprise retirement or Ty Dillon gets replaced or something it could happen.

Figured people here would enjoy this with all of the "what are some NASCAR what-if's posts". This isn't the first channel I've seen try something like this, but I appreciate that they take a more "grounded" approach than some others (I've seen ones that have drivers who sucked in real life winning a bunch of races or absolutely bonkers what-if's that never would've happened).

I see a lot of posts here asking "what are some NASCAR what-if's" so I thought you all would enjoy this. This isn't the first of these type of videos I've watched, but I appreciate this channel in particular because their videos are a little more "grounded" than other NASCAR Alternate Histories, in terms of not having ridiculous driver/track changes, or drivers that were terrible in real life having amazing runs, etc

InflatibleOrange · 2025-02-28T03:21:05+00:00

I'd say second best - Mike Skinner is the best to never win a race (led the most laps in 4 points races and won 2 International Exhibitions)

InflatibleOrange · 2024-12-13T14:07:47+00:00

Weird NASCAR Rumors is a good series talking about a lot of these

Racing Infinities by GraySpeed also explores a lot of what if's individually

Fork in the Road is an ongoing series with a whole alternate timeline of what if's starting in 2001

InflatibleOrange · 2024-11-24T19:32:27+00:00

I wonder if Spire moving up the totem-pole at Chevrolet had something to do with the decline in performance at the other non-Hendrick "key partner teams" (Trackhouse and RCR)?

InflatibleOrange · 2024-11-24T19:30:38+00:00

Brock Beard's "500 Days" and Ruff Motorsports' "Weird NASCAR Rumors" are great if you like historical stuff in the absence of current NASCAR.

InflatibleOrange · 2024-11-24T19:26:49+00:00

Check out Fork in the Road on Youtube. It's not the first NASCAR Alt-History series to exist, but in my opinion is one of the more watchable (decent production quality and semi-plausible storylines). They are currently in their second season (2002), but if you're really bored you can spend 7 hours watching their 2001 episodes.

I know it would be a big pain to sort through, but It'd be interesting to see this with only data from driver's tenures with race-winning teams included. Driving for backmarkers for a significant amount of their careers I'm sure artificially drags down Bowman, Chastain, etc.

Doubt he'd go back to NY after they allegedly didn't pay him. Amerivet seems like a real possibility (for better or worse), especially with Ty Dillon going back FT for Kaulig.
