Sector posted: 03.26.2019 - 4:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) They just released the 2020 schedule already prior to this race, and it's a complete makeover for sure. Especially during the Playoff. I'm curious to see how the Pocono double header races will go, will they be separated into 200 mile races (80 laps) or two full 400 mile races (160 laps)? Not sure how I feel about Phoenix, or ISM, being the season finale. Homestead made itself known as the season finale race, but now that it'll be in the beginning of the season, it'll be really strange to watch that race in the spring instead of the fall. I enjoy the idea of all three short tracks being in the Playoff. Darlington, Richmond and Bristol in Round 1 though? Put Richmond or Bristol in the second round instead, no need to have two. I personally think DARLINGTON should be the season finale, which would make complete sense as its the most crown jeweled track on the schedule. Plus its Darlington's comeback as a race during the Playoff/Chase since 2004, the inaugural Chase! Martinsville wouldn't be a bad idea as a finale either. Kansas and Texas in Round of 3, really? Swap Kansas with Darlington if it won't be a finale. Problem solved. The Fourth of July race at Daytona will be no more. Daytona will the season opening and regular season finale race. Indianapolis as a Fourth of July event isn't a bad idea but I sincerely think it should be a "night race" unless they're adding lights. It won't be the same feeling, especially if they release fireworks during the day. 21. Timothy_Eklund posted: 03.26.2019 - 5:44 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) He just has a good personality.

Somewhere in between those two extremes would be my guess. Doing an even split between Saturday and Sunday or one race longer than the other will be an interesting choice. Long/short is more the tradition for tracks with two races, but even split would call attention to this being a special event. 25. Corey posted: 03.26.2019 - 6:20 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I imagine at least 300 miles for each event. The Xfinity race is already 250 Mile-100 Lap distance. I'm curious as to what other rules NASCAR will enforce and what changes the teams will be able to make between races. 26.

Long/short is more the tradition for tracks with two races, but even split would call attention to this being a special event." I actually mentioned this on the Pocono Raceway page. They may go 250 (500 miles altogether) as they used to be 200 laps per race. So that would make 100 laps on Saturday and 100 laps on Sunday? I like that option. 27. possum posted: 03.26.2019 - 7:46 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @20 - Darlington has to be Labor Day weekend. That is an unbreakable rule. Daytona at the end of August is a bad idea, since that's hurricane season. They should swap Daytona and Talladega (or, better yet, put Daytona in Talladega's spot and just drop the second Talladega race). Indy should (and will be) a day race. Since the intention seems to be to run it on the Sunday closest to the 4th, not having fireworks isn't a problem. All in all, tho, the schedule looks pretty well thought out. 28. possum posted: 03.26.2019 - 7:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @23 - I'm going to guess it hasn't happened since they moved Riverside from being the first race of the season (which would be 82? Somewhere around that). There used to be a month break between Riverside and Daytona. 29.

Ultimate_Warrior_#18 posted: 03.26.2019 - 8:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (3) My opinion on the schedule Shake up moving Daytona from the 4th of July weekend is bad for tradition but nascar stop caring about tradition years ago. Second Racing in Daytona in August i live in Florida it's a horrible idea it's the middle of hurricane season and the rainy season oh well good luck. Homestead losing its season finale date is horrible but moving it to Phoenix is even worse they could of went back to Atlanta or even ended the season somewhere on the east coast. Maybe even Daytona the weather is perfect in November. Darlington loses Labor Day weekend again great. They should just get rid of Indy nascar fans pretty much have lost hope on that one. Martinsville night race sounds cool and the pocono double is also cool. But for 2021 please nascar let's see some new tracks in cup. 34. Corey posted: 03.26.2019 - 8:25 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The problem with Indy is that they have residential housing right behind the frontstretch and turns 3 and 4. Local ordinance might prohibit them from doing night racing there. 35. rm posted: 03.26.2019 - 8:38 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'm sure NASCAR is well aware of the potential hazards of scheduling a Daytona race in regards to the weather, considering that the schedule-making is coming from the Daytona arm of the series. After all, how often have we seen the July races affected by rain the past few years alone? 36. Maverick19 posted: 03.26.2019 - 11:58 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) I'll give my 2 cents on the changes (most of which I think are good): Phoenix hosting the finale: Not sure if this is confirmed, but I think they are trying to rotate the finale race, as they said Phoenix was the last race for 2020, not ?2020 and beyond.? I like it, if we are going to have this stupid format we should have the drivers be good at tracks other than Homestead to win. Pocono doubleheader: Pretty sure they did this because the 2nd date would interfere with the Tokyo Olympics. Worth a try. If it works keep it, if not change it back for 2021. Win-win. The Chase: Excellent. We have Darlington (which IS on Labor Day), Bristol, the Roval, Richmond, Phoenix, Martinsville, Tallladega, and 3 1.5 mile track in the Chase. That's a lot of parity. (I also noticed they took Dover out of the Chase, I would rather have it over Las Vegas but if it means Darlington gets in I'll call it an upgrade.) Other minor changes: The placement of Homestead is weird, but it reminds me of the early days in Trucks when it was at the beginning of the schedule. Along with the West coast swing (wish they added Sonoma to that but I can live with it in June), we now have a new NE swing with Michigan, Watkins Glen, and Dover (as well as Loudon before the off weeks). I like it. Not to mention the season now ends a week earlier in order to stop competing with football. Martinsville: Placement on Mother's Day sounds like a fun tradition and, now the penultimate race. Plus a night race. Hell yes. Indy/Daytona: Alright, this pisses me off. The Firecracker 400 date is just as sacred as the Southern 500 data, and now it's gone after almost 60 years. However, the optomist in me says that they are doing this to try and get rid of Indy: If they can't even draw crowds on Independence Day, what use is it to keep it on schedule? That's just a theory however. But ugh I hope Daytona goes back to July soon. Plus hurricane season. I'll give this an 8.5/10 (would be 9.5 or 10 if not for July 4th). NASCAR has a long way to go to fix the damage they did under Brian France (like getting rid of this chase): but this is a great start. 37.

With how that date falls on the calendar, there's been far more times now where the race ran 3 days before/after the actual holiday. Just last year, Chicago and Daytona were both run within 3 days of the 4th. Sure, I'd much rather see it continue to run in early July, but that slot stopped being truly ?sacred? long before now. 40. Sector posted: 03.27.2019 - 10:14 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) "if we are going to have this stupid format we should have the drivers be good at tracks other than Homestead to win." Except since the elimination format, it has been different drivers winning the championship and their FIRST race at Homestead every year. There has been no repeat winner at Homestead since. Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Martin Truex, Jr and Joey Logano all have won their first championships and race at Homestead. So drivers being "good" at Homestead hasn't really been an issue. I'd be super curious to see who wins this year. Denny Hamlin has been on a great start this year so it wouldn't surprise me if he pulls off a title leaving Joe Gibbs Racing being replaced by Christopher Bell, since the last two years the ONLY driver being championship-less of the Final Four ended up winning. Or maybe Brad Keselowski since he won his prior to 2014. 41. TeamDCRfan posted: 03.27.2019 - 11:22 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yes the Firecracker stopped running on July 4th itself, but it's synonymous with that time of year. 42. possum posted: 03.27.2019 - 6:42 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @31 - it's simple: plate races involve very little real racing, the winner is typically completely random, the car owners hate them because odds are they'll end up with a bunch of destroyed cars (i.e. big dollars wasted); and most of the drivers hate them because of the high risk of injury. They pretty much just appeal to the "I like big crashes" demographic. Ergo, getting rid of a plate race (and hopefully replacing it with a short track) would be a good thing. 43. possum posted: 03.27.2019 - 6:48 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @30 - is he talking about the Superspeedway or the Fairgrounds? If they ran it at the fairgrounds it'd be a nice throwback to NASCAR's early days, but I think the track would take a lot of work. For that matter, I think they tore down almost all the grandstands at the Superspeedway, so running there would be a lot of work too. 44. possum posted: 03.27.2019 - 6:56 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) @33 - as others pointed out, Darlington is still on Labor Day. NASCAR seems to have made that the basis for the whole schedule change, to get the Chase to start on Labor Day weekend (which is a good thing, so give them credit for making that work). Don't think I can agree on fans having given up on Indy. Even with the very reduced crowds of recent years, it's probably drawing the same or better than the other races. Don't forget, Indy has 240,000 seats, so compared to a typical NASCAR track it'll look much emptier with the same attendance. OTOH, I wouldn't complain if they wanted to run at IRP instead :-) 45.

Yet, I can also see it as incredibly frustrating for drivers and fans. Qualifying is currently sports entertainment fodder without the banana peels and turtle shells. Single car qualifying can be ?boring?, and things got a little wacky at plate tracks with qualifying setups, but it was a legitimate way of letting teams earn their starting positions for a long time instead of lining up expensive cars according to bingo ball numbers. 71.

It's not a "crown jewel" no matter how hard all parties involved try to make it one. For its entire existence it's always been a garbage race. It drew several hundred thousand the first few years because it was a novelty. Now the novelty's worn off and you can't give tickets to the race away. It's honestly embarrassing how empty the stands are for that race. It will _never_ draw over 100k again because the racing is so god awful. Square peg, round hole.

Turns out Darrell Waltrip turned out to be right. Is Denny Hamlin the first driver to get TWO penalties and end up winning the race in the Cup Series? One penalty by driver, one by his pit crew. Looks like Joe Gibbs Racing ties their own record and series record for having THREE of their drivers finish Top 10 in each of the first 7 races to start the season. Tying from their 2015 attempt. Kyle Busch barely kept his Top 10 streak alive finishing 10th, as he is also 7 for 7 for Top 10's in every races this season! 198.

This is probably the best overall performance of his career so far for Byron and maybe for Suarez as well. Jimmie Johnson finished 5th and led 61 laps. The last time he finished better on an intermediate track was 2 years ago, when he won this race. The last time he led more laps on an intermediate track was the fall 2016 race at Charlotte. Another veteran, Ryan Newman, had his best finish since moving to Roush Racing, climbing through the field after a poor starting position to finish 11th. Michael McDowell had an outstanding day for Front Row Motorsports, staying on the lead lap throughout the race and finishing a solid 15th. And even though Paul Menard finished 19th after having to make an unscheduled pit stop at one point, he had strong top-10 or maybe even top-5 run going prior to that. Hendrick Motorsports as a whole has to be encouraged by their best overall intermediate track performance in quite some time. 201.

Not bad. Also an impressive run by Michael McDowell in 15th. Terrible result for Penske, who had an auspicious start to the day. 208.

I let these fans get to me after reading so many of their negative comments and I lashed out.

Sector posted: 04.01.2019 - 5:52 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'm not going to lie, I'm quite disappointed with Martin Truex, Jr at the moment. I figured they'd be on par with Kyle Busch or be leading laps more than they have been. It's almost like while Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano seem to have stepped it up, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex, Jr fell behind. Also I was watching the highlights despite already watching the race; When Kyle Busch drove on the inside of Kurt Busch for three wide hitting the grass, Kyle had to keep it from going out of control, he was literally a paper apart from hitting his brother in that situation. Meaning, as close as they were to contact, they didn't. In the word of Kyle Petty; "That's incredible." 233.

As it looks right now Gibbs hands are tied on this so he's gonna have to let bell walk and hope he can groom with Burton, Gilliland, Eckes etc.... for the future. 234.

A step in the right direction for sure. Now if they can continue that and get the cars more even so more have an actual shot at winning that would be close to what NASCAR used to be and made it great. 240.

It's been 5 years since we saw a race with that kind of parity at the front of the field. The 2014 races at Las Vegas and Chicagoland were the last time something similar happened. 244.
