Ole Carl Edwards used to do a backflip off the door when he won, he never fell.

And the third place driver had more points than anyone so didn’t he win the race

It was the same this week 6th place was the highest points scorer, 3rd place outscored the winner, 2nd scored the same points and 4th place only 1 point less.

Never even watched it or even looked to see who won. I was busy shooting

[Vaquero]

Even the new fans, has to be, because most of the original ones don't watch any longer.
Are about sick and tired of Nascar's BS.

Fans are never going to be happy unless their favorite team/driver is winning it is a simple as that.
They dont want to see a great drivers do great things, you only need to look at the outrage over SVG winning from certain segments to see that.
Plenty would be better off watching a demolition derby than a car race, it would deliver what they claim to want to see.

Get rid of the stage racing and cautions, it might keep the field together for the first half of the race but limits strategy. There is no incentive for anyone to get out and build a lead when they know it is going to be taken away, hell even SVG is quite happy to roll around in the pack for half a race on road courses because he knows it is not worth leading and driving anywhere near 100%. Limit cautions to safety only and let them pit under yellow so they have to strategize on the fly.

In other news Zilisch had surgery to put in a plate on his broken collarbone.
The same thing SVG did back in 2021 that saw him back racing and winning in less than 2 weeks.

Looking at the practice times could be an interesting race at Richmond, massive drop off in tires with most drivers showing over 2 second drop off over 30 laps. With only 8 sets of tires allocated and 400 laps drivers will need to make them last 50 laps or more.

Wasn’t it Larry Mac that said carry the tires from the garage and don’t roll them.
