PAPosse Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I give them credit for trying something new, and believe for as long as they do this convoluted championship format, there should be a road course in the mix. From what I understand, there isn’t much flexibility in the scheduling for a few years, so this is what we got. Judging by the stands, people weren’t clamoring to get in there. I don’t know what to say that hasn’t been said. NASCAR lost its way, and is having a hard time getting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arob Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I don't think it was that bad. They tore up a bunch of stuff. A lot of viewers like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 What parts I got to watch it was a pretty good race. Jimmie gets the bone head move of the day award. I know he wanted to win and break his winless streak but he wasn't thinking big picture on that move. Whats going to really look bad is if he goes out the next couple of races and wins then he knows he really shot himself in the foot for an 8th championship. 2 hours ago, PAPosse said: I give them credit for trying something new, and believe for as long as they do this convoluted championship format, there should be a road course in the mix.

They are locked in until 2020 I believe is when the schedule can be opened up and changed, but that is also when the TV Contracts are up for change as well.

Toyota tim come's to mind he has to be #1…..he loves wrecks as long as it don't cost him, I noticed he has not commented yet must be so excited he cant speak or type at this moment when too pit early or not was interesting .88 chief made a good call ...as for 48 he was hungry and needs to prove he still has it ..I cant blame him for going for it ..

toyotatim Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 It was sure a great race. Very calculated by many teams with the exceptions of the one who had issues. Numerous pit strategies etc. And by the way, the attendance was huge. You can say what you want about the stands, but I guess they were scattered everywhere. The traffic was a nightmare afterwords and I heard it has been a while since that has happened. Rock on Nascar, ignore the haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 NASCAR does seem to be doing better in the stands . Better than some NFL games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I thought it was interesting. Something different. A tweak here, a tweak there and it will be a great race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing they said it was biggest crowd in five years.....From all the empty seats that's not saying much then.....People there said it was tough to see a lot of the track.

rebelracewriter Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Timmy, I'd reply, but why bother....You've proven you enjoy junkyard racing.....Why not just petition NA$CAR for a demo derby.....Last one moving is champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Well Talladega is coming up soon , closet thing to one. Tony Stewart had the answer back in 2012. About the 1:00 mark but the whole thing is great. I really miss him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatim Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thank all of you guys for watching it, that helped the TV rating go up by 10%. It was one great show. I listened to Sirius radio yesterday and everyone love it and wants more. Again, thanks for helping the ratings. If I hate something, I dont watch.

arob Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I wonder if those folks who don't go to or watch the NFL are going to NASCAR now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Lets hope, they need somewhere to go now. Lots of punch being spiked in the infield at the Nascar races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
