It's about time
So Clash is 10. February and 500 is 17. I read that my Keselowski is number 1 pick for Great American Race. What do you think who're favourites?

I think that there will be a surprise new winner
Posted 30 January 2019 - 16:00
Ford was very strong last year and Penske is the dominant team on restrictor plate tracks (barring races that turn into a complete circus like last year's 500), but it will be interesting to see if there's any adaptation period to the new Mustang as seemed to be the case with the other makes when they debuted new cars.

Any of the plate races are a crap shoot. 1st and 2nd at Daytona last year never had a top 10 the rest of the year!! I will say that the Fords will be just as strong for the championship as they were last year. Chevrolet's problems weren't all down to the Camaro body IMO, I think they are behind in the horsepower race. Watch for Blaney and Truex to be right up there. We have Richmond and Watkins Glen tickets ordered, and maybe Talladega and Texas. That would only leave Kansas and Kentucky for me to complete all the NASCAR tracks.

Given how far Busch, Truex and Harvick tended to be ahead overall last year I'd be surprised if they weren't at the front again. NASCAR tends to be nice and unpredictable but last year there was often a total inevitability about those three rising to the front, wasn't there? With Larson, Elliott, Keselowski, Logano and co taking turns to offer the challenge. But then come the play-offs and you can never tell can you.
I reckon Daytona will probably see some of the youngsters - the likes of Blaney, Wallace, Bowman etc, running strong but it's never much of a pointer for the rest of the season, is it?

As the year unfolds a major story may be potential significant changes for 2020 and beyond, including the schedule/calendar and series sponsorship model. A number of articles late last year suggested major shakeups were in the works, but whether this proves to be the case remains to be seen.

I'm also looking forward to changes in the schedule, as long as Bruton Smith's tail doesn't wag NASCAR'S dog.

I still believe this is just another nail in the coffin of relevance.

Make Busch vs. Keselowski sound like the Bismarck vs. the Hood.
And the Bismark was very good at only turning left.

NASCAR to DQ drivers including the winner for failing post race inspection

It feels weird to see NASCAR doing something that promotes actual, proper racing rules. Good. But weird.
Posted 05 February 2019 - 14:49
Posted 05 February 2019 - 16:20
Well that’s long overdue. Hats off to NASCAR for actually having a sensible rule.
It appears to be a clear enough rule that will actually be enforced.

If it's alright with y'all, I'd love to make the opening OP of the year for the 500. It'll be up on Monday at some mystery hour. Cheers.

I would like to discuss each race here because there are not many of as. But how do you want.

More changes down the road: the Gen 7 car now scheduled for 2021, with this year's rules package as sort of an early feeler.
(ETA: As noted above) Recent test at Vegas had the field close together - and 20 laps wide open per report....
One thing that hasn't changed, NASCAR displeased with any driver criticism of the package....

There's a gallery of paint schemes for this sunday's Clash race at NASCAR.com. Jayski's page on ESPN also has many of this year's schemes up I believe. After many years of being a popular NASCAR news and info source, it was just discontinued by ESPN at the end of January, but they're still posting on Twitter (pic of a nice Truex design on Feb 1).

I guess since all are here and we're have a red flag...may I ask for some assistance with my NASCAR draft tonight?
We get 5 picks and I'm normally 2 Penske, a Gibbs, a Hendrick and a Ganassi.
I'm unsure about having 2 Ford's and wonder if I should shoot for 1 Penske, 2 Gibbs and 2 Chevys splitting the two main teams.
Where do you think the Mustang body is going to be?
I've bolded my top 2 choices for each round. What do you think?
The first round we have to pick from: Logano, Kyle, Harvick or Truex
Second round we pick from Armirola, Elliot, Kurt B. and Keslowski (I have 2nd pick)
Third round we chose from Larson, Blaney, Hamlin, Boyer (I have 2nd pick)
Forth round we chose from Dillon, Johnson, Jones, Bowman (I have 2nd pick)
Fifth round is pick from whoever is left. Order is determined by dice rolls.
So with that....Kyle or Logano?
