Butterbean is gonna be one of the last working class drivers to get there on Sundays. NASCAR fans can't relate to silver spoon trustfund kids. We grew to it cause half of the field reminded us of our neighbor or local track hero. Now who wants to cheer for a kid who has never worked a day in their life?
I have the $5 Peacock and not gonna lie, I LOVE that I know where IndyCar is all the time and that I can watch it on demand whenever I want. It’s totally worth 5 bucks to me. The problem is NASCAR will never just be on one network , like Indy and F1
@@theacgkid uh indy car isnt popular bc the indy 500 it isnt better then nascar in ratings F! isnt popular whatsoever in america three fox will never do nascar during the nfl season
Softer tires is not the answer for an option tire. Back in the day(1990’s) I ran a set of soaked tires at Darlington which was the most abrasive track on the circuit by far. They were the exact same tires soaked 30 duromator points softer than the untouched tires. They were seven tenths a lap faster than the un soaked tires for 70 laps and the wear was about 50% better because they were gripping the track and not being cheese grated like the stock tire. Bristol was a fluke. Construction of the tire is what would make a better option tire. Back in that day that would be a stiffer sidewall but these tires don’t have a sidewall. But then again I don’t know much about that racing stuff…
To hold the race 15 minutes for Kyle Larson is not that big of a deal. Do you hold for the next person? If that person is doing the same that Larson has done, yes! You guys need to STOP being less like a HAMLIN!
The reason it was so close for Larson getting to North Wilkesboro after Indy 500 qualifying is not because of IndyCar’s qualifying format… it’s because NASCAR has since scheduled the All Star race to be on Sunday when it use to be Saturday.
24 had the penalty during qualifying. Otherwise he would have started top 5. 24 drove up on the hard tires then hit the wall. 54 won the open easily. 22 won the race easily. So yes the test helped. And this is from a 24 fan.
It woukdve been real interesting if they would've done something they used yo do at the All Star Race. That is inverting the field. Would Joey be able to pass everyons to win that race? Would've been interesting to see
I thought the race sucked, no body could pass the lead car,no body wants to watch a race where one car leads the whole race, l think if you are a Joey fan you were happy, and the fight after the race,hands down the wort race l watched this year and the tires sucked,, big disappointment.😢
It's not a terrible race! The Damm cars are too fast in the corners......the wheel/tire is to DAMN WIDE!!! narrow the tire up like it was for the first 72 years of racing!
College football puts up the biggest numbers at noon because the biggest games are taken by fox for big noon kickoff. Michigan Ohio state play at noon. It will be the biggest game of the year regardless of the time
Streaming will kill NASCAR viewership.Pick 1 provider ;not 4.I am not buying 4 subscriptions.I also bet the commercials will be as long or longer in time on streaming.This will be either the end or a grand beginning for NASCAR (7 years will leave no ability to change things if they don’t work).Older fans like myself will be finished with it year one…hopefully the kids/Millennials fill the void for NASCAR.
And hopefully everyone enjoys the Indy 500 with no weather issues than what happened at times at Time Trials and at least the same this year for the Coke-Cola 600 than last year in 23.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Should of had SVG practice the #5, so if for some reason Larson couldn't make it back in time SVG qualified for the All-star race already(Chicago win)and the #5 would have been in regardless
There is a reason why the All-star race is dying right out of our eyes because NASCAR doesn't care about traditional events like Charlotte and Daytona in the past because they are so greedy they want to see brawls and suspended some team members and no pack racing at most places to show the next gen car it's doing it's job and make better racing and not complain as much. The All-star race will not come back at all until the jerks stop changing place to place and just go back to the old days. FUCK the whole week and cancel the Clash if it doesn't get back to Daytona and returning the Speedweeks in February or just what until the Daytona 500 in February.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
And glad pit stop challenge was cancelled because it's not the same anymore and some teams suck and causing so many wins and opportunities for good finishes and that's all I think of.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I vote that they faked the fight. From when he gave up, went to the pits, parked in Kyle’s spot…I was saying suspicious. Then during the fight, it was well lit, they were elevated where you could see. The lines for the trailer doors made it look like a boxing ring. Oh and Ricky’s comments sounded rehearsed
Freddie he said I suck just as bad as you. He didn't say ”we” or my team or my car. He put it on himself. How's that throwing his team under the bus ? No that's just you hatin trying to create another narrative from it. All y'all hate on KB every chance ya get.
Old Phoenix was better. The new configuration might be better than it is if they weren't allowed to cut the track between turn 4 and turn 1. NFL has a totally different system, can't compare multiple local games to one event. Smart consumers are starting to get tired of everything being a subscription.
I love that North Wilkesboro is back but man the cup race was hard to watch. First time I have ever turned off an All Star race with 20 to go. Cup cars need some help with horsepower or a skinner tire. It’s bad!
RE: Phoenix as championship race. It was mentioned a couple times that the last buncha races there have been a "sell out." There is no quantifiable measure as to what qualifies as a "sell out." No percentage of butts in seats, no percentage of seats sold, no number of people through the gates. The promoter can call whatever they want a "sell out." Having said that, the racing at Phoenix is quite often better than what the tv shows.
If not for the struggles this car has on short tracks and Logano led every lap and it was legitimately competitive I'd care about the 800 lap practice advantage.
1:16:30 the only ones who bitche about racing not being.on "Free tv" are the boomers who are too bull headed to learn streaming, they can afford it. If your a true fan, you will.find a way to watch it
The time of the schedule keeps getting shorter. I remember when the Final Race was the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I also remember when the Super Bowl was in January. NFL needs to just start earlier rather than take my Holiday Monday for themselves. Just like the "Stupid" Bowl used to start before 6pm EST. 6 hours of people running around for a game that takes 15-20 minutes to play
2nd year in a row where the leader ran away with the all star race. Seems like alot of all star races are runaways. Chase Elliott dominated Bristol all star race a few years ago... To be honest , did North Wilkesboro produce great racing back in the day?
Harvick said during the Pre-Race that since it isn't a points race and 1 million is on the line, well, you might take someone out. Kyle is probably wishing he wasn't under contract with Childress and could go to Hendrick again. I'm sorry, but, RCR sucks!!! Throw a punch, sit out a race....especially if you are sitting at the other Driver's Hauler...that is instigation!
My favorite Sam Ard quote is from the race at Road Atlanta. "I went a few corners and got lost". I worked for the racing fuel provider at the track and I found Sam to be the nicest and most genuinley talented racer I had ever met. I offered to ride with him and help with the track layout and he said, "I'll figure it out". Just a real nice guy, in my opinion.
Speaking of Connor Jones being an idiot, what about when he told his crew that he couldn't drive the truck without power steering and was told to be a man.
You should NOT be in business with Teladoc , anyone who forces you to do acting like this should be an instant f/o. Are you that desperate for money? Gosh how you are falling then
Thank fucking God someone brought up the streaming service question. Doesn't fucking matter what it is, it will be significantly cheaper than paying for fucking cable all year.
So you're saying he can't have a life when NHRA has a off week and enjoy it with friends and the wife or spend time on the lake. You got to remember Tony now lives clear across the country
Sorry, I'm not for temper tantrums. Can't say I've ever been more mad about something two hours after it actually occurred. Usually us men cool down a little bit after the initial burst comes? Kind of like sex really. It's how we're wired supposedly. And I'm certainly not for some dude with three wins in Cup and two Busch championships disrespecting one of the all-time greats with a petty punch with Daddy Ricky Sr. right there holding his hand through it all. It's a bird, it's plane... no it's not! It's Daddy Ricky to the rescue! Dun dun dun dun dun DA DA DAUH!
@@lloydbarnes7847 there was passing in other parts of the pack and just not for the lead, it happens it’s part of racing enjoy it. If you’re tired of this go watch your local track, you’ll see the same thing some nights
I like it when drivers show that passion and want to fight or stand up for themselves. I don't like when family or crew members get involved in any sort of way, whether it's fighting too or breaking it up. I think that can get drivers hurt. I remember when Denny went to Talk to Joey at Martinsville, and one of Joey's guys horse collared Denny for no reason, that guy should have been banned from the sport. Only security, NASCAR officials or police should be putting their hands on drivers.
Glancing punch at best. You can tell that girl ain't never seen a real fight. Ricky Sr got hit the cleanest and that wasn't even hard. Why's his daddy even there ?
The repave was a highlight in terms of seeing multiple lanes work. But it probably didn't help wear tires as much as they might have wanted with the rougher surface. Goodyear unfortunately brought tires that didn't wear well under last night's conditions, although I do wonder if they'd work better on a warm day at any other track.
Joey earned the pole with a whole team effort over just running a "fast lap" as the all star qualifying is a different animal. Then the pit crew had to execute during the race to keep him up front along with him holding the lead behind the wheel. Also had to execute the restarts to stay in the lead. 22 team put a whupping on the field and that's what it is! They just had a flawless weekend from start to finish!
As much as I don't enjoy watching Joey win, I will admit it's either him Larson or Denny as the most skilled left in the sport. Martin can't keep his cool enough but hes up there too.
The boos for Bubba gotta stop. My wife, who doesn't watch Nascar, asked why they boo him. I had to sadly explain that a whole group of Nascar fans are booing him because of his skin color.
@@slackhammer4467 hasn't won a race in almost 3 years but yeah keep defending him. Guy can't even finish good in what is essentially the 5th Gibbs car!
@@InLikeFlynn_ My bad I didn’t know Denny and Mike sold their team to Gibbs! Did they sell Air Speed as well? BTW, it’s call the All Star Race and he finished 7th after starting in the back against the the best of the best ALL STARS. I can think of a lot of drivers that sucks by your standards. So what do you call the drivers that has never won a race and running at the back of the pack every week??? I wonder why 23x1 is paying him Millions to suck? I have so many questions now
@@slackhammer4467 57 races since his last win. Oh yeah Kansas the track that literally every single 23XI driver has won at. Michael Jordan paying millions to a mediocre Truck Series regular at best is comical honestly. If Bubba can pass Michael Waltrip in career wins by the end of this season then I'll be impressed.
