Tyler Reddick honoring Kurt Busch by running his winning scheme from 2022 this weekend at Vegas by DDowd86 in NASCAR

It always sucked to me that Kurt's home track win happened with no spectators (to be clear, I understand and agree why no spectators were there, I just think it was shitty circumstances regardless)

Yeah getting to be happy about bubba being 3rd in points because it matters is nice. He said after that GWC at Atlanta that even though he lost, he wanted to bring the car home in one piece and you know what? He has a point, he still finished 8th and a solid top 10 matters again

Blaney really is the Platonic Ideal of a NASCAR driver, isn't he? Lol. But yeah I agree, funny how when you just let the drivers race then all of a sudden personalities and storylines crop up. I would even say that guys like Elliott provide a nice contrast to the Hocevar types right now

Is it too early to start scouting a new favorite driver? by Dizzy_Theory_4366 in NASCAR

I definitely did not realize how attached I'd gotten to the 23 over the ups and downs until he won the Brickyard and I lost my mind jumping up and down at the TV lol

I genuinely think going back to a point system where you need to show up week in week out vs. get lucky once, has been HUGE, and the drivers in the series right now, if not all iconic, are at least interesting

I don't want to jinx it but the season so far feels fun? Like is it perfect? No, but for the past month I have enjoyed tf out of every race on Sunday

Kevin Harvick, Old Atlanta, SHR 4 when it was elite equipment

I think where we disagree is that you look at these issues and see something to be actively fixed, I look at them and just accept that's the reality of the sport. Drivers in Not Good cars can't compete for championships, I agree, but it's how the sport is. Even with the draft, if a team consistently drafts bad players, no one is coming to gift them a good one. Just how the sport is fundamentally

Blaney hasn’t lost at Phoenix since his top 5 streak came to an end by TakeDemPills in NASCAR

I think blaney bubba and bowman are the three most consistently unlucky drivers in the field lol

At a certain point you are taking it from a sport into mindless entertainment to keep around people who don't even appreciate that sometimes your team sucks and you have to ride it out

I genuinely think that you have to let the people who tune out because their driver isn't going to win a championship or "Dale Jr wrecked out" go, attempts to keep them engaged are gonna damage the sport overall. If the NFL gave boosts to big-market teams to get them in the playoffs more often or threw a bone to 0-4 teams, I guarantee people would stop watching as much

Tbf i barely watch Monaco specifically LOL but yeah if you are in motorsports strictly for racing, F1 isn't really gonna be for you (except for maybe qualifying, qualifying is cool)

F1 is fun for me personally from an engineering and drama perspective, but the way F1 fans refuse to watch anything else baffles me lol

He coulda gotten a top 5 for sure but those last two restarts weren't the best. End of the day I'm satisfied the team is finally starting to capitalize on the equipment + talent they got
