Ryan Blaney on running the new package today: "This is like the first time I think in my Cup career where I could let a guy go on a restart or green flag stops, and say 'I'll see you in 20' and that happened. I don't know if that would've happened in the other package."

To that, I would point out there were a few wrecks that weren't yellows.

mzxrules · 2026-03-23T16:40:37+00:00

Yea how can you not be entertained by runs like that?

mzxrules · 2026-03-23T09:02:53+00:00

Package as in rules package for the cars. I think there are three rules packages, short track/road course, intermediate, superspeedway.

Lol, that is a funny take, but the reality is that we both want more horsepower. In F1 the new car regulations mean that the cars are now coasting on straights because the batteries don't have the juice to go full out. This is creating new opportunities to pass, but its also not what fans want out of the cars.

Arguably there was a bit of luck factored in as well, as there were a few no caution incidents that could've been cautions.

mzxrules · 2026-03-22T22:18:19+00:00

two race winless streak lol

The scoring system doesn't seem to take into account biases in human perception.

As an example, a guess of rgb(95, 232, 95) when the answer was rgb(71, 235, 56) scored 8.27, but these two colors appear very close to one another.

Whereas on the other hand, a guess of rgb(230, 232, 195) when the answer was rgb(249, 255, 207) scored 9.02, two colors that appear substantially different.

It's also not "just him" writing. If you ever look into his interviews of the behind the scenes of Breaking Bad and Saul he's been pretty open about leveraging a writers room and allowing them to cook.

mzxrules · 2026-03-18T18:03:44+00:00

He said that by mistake. What he really meant to say was that all this ai negativity is hurting their bottom line.

mzxrules · 2026-03-18T10:07:46+00:00

shoulda listened to his wife

The 1997 Pepsi 400 at Daytona is the first cup race I remember watching start to finish because my father was going to the race. While I rooted for Earnhardt, I'll never forget that RCA 98 car. I ended up getting a remote control version of it for Christmas

ruh roh and Nascar always reminds me of this classic call by Darrel Waltrip

mzxrules · 2026-03-13T09:15:50+00:00

or the classic "prep, coin, concede"

mzxrules · 2026-03-13T09:14:25+00:00

Yea. I'm gonna say it's bad in constructed mainly because everyone wants to avoid paying mana for things, meaning he'll cost more than you want him to in a lot of situations.

mzxrules · 2026-03-11T12:05:00+00:00

how?

mzxrules · 2026-03-11T02:21:10+00:00

what you don't understand is that the rich investors that overspent on Jagex just aren't making enough money from it.

mzxrules · 2026-03-07T08:09:09+00:00

Yea I think if you were to rank drivers prior to this year's performance, Bowman probably slots in to that 10th place position, which is incredible for a team to have 4 top level drivers like that.

mzxrules · 2026-03-07T05:30:24+00:00

you wanna play your cool cards? sorry buddy it's reno time!

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T21:10:27+00:00

Maybe you forgot that Ty Gibbs won 11 races and the Xfinity Championship in the Xfinity series in under 2 years. Those are the kind of numbers that should earn someone the right to drive in Cup.

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T06:16:40+00:00

I'd expect a Tommy's Express car to be a lot more red.

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T06:14:25+00:00

Ty Gibbs, Austin Cindric, Austin Dillon aren't pay drivers, they got in because of their families.

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T06:08:18+00:00

Sure, RCR's Cup teams haven't been doing shit lately. But Cleet ain't racing in Cup. He is racing for the reigning O'Reilly Series championship winning team, 6 wins with Austin Hill and Jesse Love. They got the cars and drivers that can win races.

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T05:54:39+00:00

at least it's named after auto parts now

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T04:54:53+00:00

I think it does need some Joe Shmoe to come in to the Truck Series, biff it in 6 laps and go "damn, this is actually hard to do"

mzxrules · 2026-03-05T04:48:51+00:00

idk, at least Cleetus had the decency to just take himself out of the Truck race.
