This weeks Herm & Shrader
Reddit - Dive into anything (Reddit)

Was it just me or did it feel like this week was a lot of “Get Off My Lawn”? It felt like they kept saying “these fans that are saying the car sucks don’t know what’s good - we had Darrell Waltrip win 7 in a row and Cale Yarbrough wan by 3 laps and led every lap 50 years ago and we loved it”

Seeing as the Cup Series is observing an off week this weekend in place of the Rock’s return to top flight stock car racing, it only seems like the perfect opportunity to delve into them as a concept. Let’s talk about it.

What Are Off Weeks?

Before the shortening of the Cup Series calendar in 1972, the concept of off weeks as a term in the garage area mainly served as a euphemism for a lack of funds to continue racing. But outside of the former January season opener at Riverside and races held in December such as Texas World Speedway’s 1971 season finale date that ended the pre-modern era of NASCAR, off weeks as we know them weren’t really a thing when the schedule was as dense as it was before 1972.

— What if the 2012 Daytona 500 was called after Montoya hits the jet dryer and Dave Blaney wins?
— If Jeff Gordon never wrecks Clint at Phoenix, can he make a legit run at Kes for champ? He finished 2nd, 41 points back. Don’t remember the points system back then
— What if Roush was allowed to continue with 5 cars? Does Jamie McMurrary crown jewel season happen if he stays in the 26 instead of moving to the 1?

-What is Boris Said pulled an SVG and won a race, does he go full time? What does a Boris Said full time season look like? Ambrose was moderately successful in a similar path.

— What if Red Bull had stayed in NASCAR? What if Montoya and Scott Speed had been successful? Does the F1-NASCAR pipeline get stronger?

-What if Hamilton falls in love after driving Smoke’s car at WG and decides to give up F1 for NASCAR?

-For 5 straight years no one won a championship but Jimmie Johnson. What does NASCAR look like if JJ never races? Does Gordon have 5 or 6? Does Denny have 1 or more? Does Dale Jr get one? I dont mean like, the person who finished second moves up, several of those years Jimmie won 10 or more races, what if 10 win opportunities a year and 5 championships open up with no JJ?

-What if KFB never wrecks at Daytona and breaks his leg? Does he win the championship that year? Does he win it in even more dominant fashion?

-What if JJ had pulled off his 3-wide blowing up pass at Indy?
