Such a boring race

Hot take: this was the most boring finish I’ve ever seen at talladega. I would have rather watched the Bristol race this this crap. So many ads too.

Commercial breaks out of control

Getting back into NASCAR this year and it's crazy how terrible the coverage is and the half of the last 15 laps today were side by side with 2 different commercial breaks.

That's it. That's the post.

Commercials!

I don't know about the rest of you but I love that 50% of the final 10 laps at Talladega were spent side-by-side with commercials.

At least we could see the race, I guess.

Bought Tix for Gateway and Mid-Ohio today, already went to St. Pete. How many races are you going to this year?

I am also going to try and get to one other race but i have a lot going on this summer, and unfortunately I cannot get to Indy this year for either race. Maybe Iowa/Milwaukee or Road America will be in the cards.

Ideas for improving the SuperSpeedway Package?
Reddit - Dive into anything (Reddit)

What ideas do you have to improve the racing here?

Me:

-Cut the extra inches off the spoiler.

-Make the spoiler adjustable.

-Pull the power down to ~500hp.

-Remove a few rear aero strakes.

-Minimum front ride height (stop them from being sealed).

Amazon Coverage

Do we know if Amazon is going to continue with front stretch victory interviews or since it’s not a TV constrained time limit will VL interviews come back? Hoping the latter but ready to be disappointed.

The scheme has not seen victory lane since blaney won it in 2021 at Michigan in the cup series. Cindric has returned the bright neon yellow car back to victory lane in almost 5 years

Kentucky Speedway

Someone post was deemed low effort although I feel like there is genuinely a discussion to be had. From my comment before the post was removed.

“I will forever stand by the statement that while TV fans complain and hate on this track, this track served a greater purpose as fan service for an under appreciated region of nascar fans who alternatively don’t have another race to go to, sure there are many tracks in the surrounding states but it makes it much harder for fans to attend races when the next event is at a minimum a 2-3 hour drive further than this track was for them.

This track had excellent facilities for those who camped, showers that weren’t disgusting, huge flat camping grounds for tents or RVs, and even a group that gave out free cookies and food. The front stretch outside the gates was perfect for concession stands and sponsor giveaways/ displays(all 5 other tracks I’ve gone to multiple times weren’t as easy to navigate). They fixed the interstate issue the year after the grand opening for cup racing and yet everyone used this as an excuse as to why they never attended again (are you really a nascar fan if you only attend cup races?)

This track had more people in attendance for a truck race than there were in attendance at the Bristol cup races I’ve gone to. It’s a shame really, when I go to races today I can only get 4 people to go with me because of distance and cost increases. At one point our campsite included well over 10 people and at times up to 20.

NASCAR is so desperate to widen their fan base and include new tracks that they don’t see the consequences that undeserving a generational fan base in this specific region will have in the coming years. Will be harder to get my eventual children to like nascar as it was my father as there won’t be a yearly community and family bonding experience at Kentucky speedway as we had for 2 decades.

Is it me or Bubba's 2025 season looks to be his best season yet ?
Reddit - Dive into anything (Reddit)

I mean, he just looks so consistent, being a stage points merchant through the whole season and even when he finishes low he still got some stage points in his bag, maybe this year he could either make the playoffs on points or take home a win. He also seems to be more on par with Reddick, which makes me think that the crew chief change was a really good decision for the 23 team. I just hope he keeps these pace for the whole season.

In person races
Reddit - Dive into anything (Reddit)

Every race I've been to, including lower series', has contained at least one INSANE moment.
For example.

The Hail Melon
The day everyone hated Ty Gibbs (Jesus)
Talladega final lap wreck right in front of me
SHR final cup win
Etc.

What have you guys witnessed?
