I am never watching Nascar again. I'll maybe watch the trucks and bucsh, but Nascar has detroyed the cup series. Nascar is supposed to be the most competitive for of racing in the world, which it was until this year.
The Chase for the Cup has been destroyed. 10 drivers were fitting for the final 10 races, 12 is pushing it a little. The points system is terrible though. Each driver shouldn't be given 10 points for a win. What is a driver finishes 2nd 10 times before the chase and is 3rd in points when it starts? That driver in no goddamn way should be more than 20 points off the lead when the chase starts.
This Car of tomorrow POS is worthless. I like how Nascar wants to save the teams money and try to keep the teams from having 10+ different cars for different tracks. The thing look stupid. The concepts are good, like moving the driver more to the middle and making the roof higher, but the splitter is the most stupid thing I have ever seen on a Racecar. This is Stockcar racing, the cars shouldn't look like German touring cars. Some teams can also get a half hour of practice with the way Nascar's inspection is. Somethings things are better if they are simpler.
The commentators on TV are so ****ing annoying. All they do is pity the drivers and talk about how great they are. I see hardly any talent in Nascar today, other than Jeff Gordan, wait he has the best team with the most money too. Going back to the cho-chas on TV. When a driver crashes, he crashes. Sure sometimes guys get caught up in wreaks and they blow tires. It really gets annoying after while when you pity a driver for 2 hours for something that wasn't his fault. Being a former Go-Kart racer, the first thing you need to learn is that you are going to crash. You and the car cant be perfect all the time.
Get this, Formula 1 had a closer points race than Nascar will have for the rest of it's history. F1 also does a better job enforcing it's rules. Mclaren, a race team, was fined
$100,000,000 for having stolen Ferrari documents. That about 5 times what Hendrick motorsports spends in a year. The funny thing is that fine was like a slap on the wrist for Mclaren, who spends about 500 million on yearly spendings.
What's also up with all these track changes? The widening of Bristol has destroyed that track. Las Vegas has been turned into a tipical 1.5 mile banked track instead of it's flat surface. Nascar is taking out too many skill tracks. Homestead has been banked, a race has been taken away from Darlington the only egg shaped track. Soon all Nascar is going to be is 1.5 mile tracks where drivers don't even use the brake.
Gj Nascar on destroying your sport.
Congrats to F1 for being the most expensive, technological, and intelligent sport in the world.
