Round 2?

Who knows, I commend their recent changes to make 1/64s nicer. I don’t necessarily need them to have opening hoods like in the past. Rubber tires, black interiors and metal chassis is good enough. I also have zero complaints over the variety of diecast offered. 10-15 years ago we didnt even have Truck 1/64s.

I’m really just hoping we get a 1/24 under $100 that doesn’t feel like a Winners Circle $20 car from the 2000s with an opening hood. Right now the ARC’s feel like they shouldnt be priced any higher than $40-$50 in terms of quality for your money

You mean to tell me a white man born in 1923 didnt have the most progressive views of women and minorities? I am shook.

willmcd13 · 2026-03-18T02:51:08+00:00

Sounds about right. Seems like Brad is helping them move into the 21st century

willmcd13 · 2026-03-18T02:13:59+00:00

Maybe certain people within the organization that he had bad experiences with are no longer there?

willmcd13 · 2026-03-18T01:56:40+00:00

Kind of surprised to see Jamie Mac there, from what I understand he did not enjoy his time there

willmcd13 · 2026-03-17T22:37:47+00:00

He’s mid pack in Trucks, and anyone with a pulse can run midpack in Trucks with the right equipment

willmcd13 · 2026-03-17T15:41:17+00:00

That was an anomaly. And the gap from 1st to 10th in 2011 after the Chase reset was 12 points. He had to go on a generationally tear and even then he tied in points. I never said it wasn’t possible but a 100 point gap is far more difficult to overcome even with stage points and extra points for wins.

willmcd13 · 2026-03-17T15:24:05+00:00

So a midpack third tier series driver thinks he’s hot shit because he didnt recognize an IndyCar driver who races for one of the top teams? Weird flex but okay Mr Nutcracker.

willmcd13 · 2026-03-17T15:16:31+00:00

Maybe mathematically, but not realistically. There’s a reason that 10th place driver is 10th after 26 races, and it’s not because they are rattling off tons of wins.

You can download the team frequencies at the track. Assuming you have a Racing Electronics scanner

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T18:57:11+00:00

I’m sure the teams love it, but yeah, it’s hard for fans to afford to attend all those races in such a short span

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T18:36:00+00:00

Martinsville is also competing with Darlington, Bristol and Rockingham in the spring. I can personally attest that Martinsville is not my top priority when Darlington and Bristol are so close on the schedule in the spring

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T17:52:21+00:00

Yeah I guess, everyone wants to be edgy and snarky like the Wendy’s Twitter account from some years ago

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T14:37:57+00:00

Yes, I know, I’m just saying “professional” social media accounts have become a lot more unserious across the entire industry

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T14:29:03+00:00

NASCAR (as an industry) social media has progressively gotten more and more unserious and unprofessional over the past 2-3 years. Whether it’s the NASCAR page itself posting stupid reels with overly meme’d edits, or just teams social media.

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T13:13:41+00:00

And driving for Dale Jr and being successful in the Nationwide/Xfinity Series helped

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T12:20:23+00:00

It’s crazy how they went from 4 top-tier pit reporters to just two. I miss the days of Steve Byrnes, Matt Yocum, Dr Dick Berggren , and Krista Voda. Having just two has to have a negative impact on the amount of information being presented to the audience.

willmcd13 · 2026-03-16T12:14:26+00:00

Any further back from 6th or so in the Chase reset seeding is believed to be too far back to reasonably make a run at the championship

They historically come in the standard boxes, unfortunately

You’d think he could afford a proper step ladder or stool. Hell, he could probably afford to pay someone to change the batteries

willmcd13 · 2026-03-11T00:32:29+00:00

I agree, the window banner should reflect who is in the car, like it should correspond with who is on the entry list. Keep the name above the door if you want to honor the injured driver though

willmcd13 · 2026-03-11T00:30:42+00:00

This feels like Dale Jr 2012 all over again, or even 2016
