@daletanhardt Available seats were about 90%. Still a good crowd.

How many people do we think were at Texas today? People who attended.. this question is for you If they had 70,000+, that’s an insane turnout. When I was there a few years ago, it legitimately looked like there was like 20,000 people.

@ham11in Stage breaks and overtime need to go. It’s time to get back to pure racing.

The concept drivers 10+ SECONDS behind the leaders with literally 35 seconds of racing left getting to restart directly on their bumper in "overtime" will never not be insane to me

@nascar_opinion Absolutely nothing. This is what happens when you have brain dead execs running a sport they know nothing about.

With the NextGen: Short-track racing sucks. Plate racing sucks. Road course racing sucks. And now intermediate racing is simply "meh." So what exactly does this car do well? #NASCAR

@BrakeHardBlog More horsepower.

It's time to shake up the intermediate package and give these Crew Chiefs a new challenge. Teams have these setups dialed.

@nascar_opinion Everything about this car has failed. Start developing the Gen 8.

1. It's existence. 2. It's inception. 3. It's concept.

@JCTaylor46 This is the first one I’ve seen that’s been a straight up blow over so it’s really odd.

How is the ARCA broadcast so much better across the board than the Truck Series on FS1

@Genistarts NASCAR spent years trying to correct the stereotype and create a new identity as a sport. Now they are embracing the fans that made them what they are. Say what you will about what we look like to the outside, at least we are trying to be genuine.

Controversial NASCAR opinion of the day: Not a big fan of the "hell yeah brother Cleetus hell yeah be like Biff brother brother" imagery of the sport NASCAR fans oft whine about being stereotyped as a turn-left redneck sport while unknowingly leaning into it

@CouchRacerShop @oreillyauto You could make the argument that those who used to casually watch cup have left. Only the diehards remain an those are the ones who watch all 3 series every weekend.

Fans are praising the @oreillyauto Serie on Saturday. Its audience consists of hardcore asphalt oval series RACE fans. The gap between Saturday and Sunday viewership has shrunk. biggest personalities in Cup aren’t frequent winners. Ross. Hocevar. Busch. What do u do to fix it?

@trevor454545 @nascar_opinion I’m not sure that’s how supply and demand works.

@nascar_opinion If more fans would go they would get cheaper. It’s pretty simple

At this point how do you simply not lower ticket prices for select races? People dont want to pay $80+ for tickets. The tracks make most of their money off of the TV deal. So get people to the track & save them some cash.

@The_Pit_Barrel 100% agree. But I’m not so sure that will solve the issue with speedway racing.

Just do away with the damned stages already.

@AustinKonenski Or they could just take some spoiler off, but they can’t help themselves creating some complicated bs.

NASCAR is looking at the possibility of mandatory four-tire pit stops at superspeedway tracks in 2027, according to Steve O’Donnell on Door, Bumper, Clear. motorsportswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/m…

@Michael95494331 @AustinKonenski “No we don’t need teams trying different strategies”

@AustinKonenski No the stage yellows don’t hurt anything. We don’t want teams trying to artificially stretch their runs before pitting.

The racing at Bristol is good when NASCAR sees some long runs. Once again, the stage yellows just ruin the racing. I’d love if we kept stages and ended these yellows.

@GOWENYT Saving teams money: ❌ One size fits all car: ❌ Increased parody: ❌ Short tracks: ❌ Superspeedways: ❌ Road courses:❌ This car has failed in almost every aspect it sought to improve. It’s time for the Gen 8.

We need gen 8

@elliottfilms Start developing the Gen 8. Start developing the Gen 8. Start developing the Gen 8. Start developing the Gen 8. Start developing the Gen 8. Start developing the Gen 8. Start developing the Gen 8.

i don’t think i can think of a more boring, frustrating experience as a fan worse than gen 7 bristol other than maybe gen 7 fuel saving at plate tracks in the modern era

@CouchRacerShop Not as bad as it has been. Especially when we get a long run.

This Bristol race sounds amazing on the radio. Is it?

@lmm2996 “Improve the car” I’ll do you one better. Start developing the Gen 8.

Yes....a track that freakin great shouldn't be standalone event for the lower series. People say "not with this car" man....this car sucks just about everywhere lol. Add rockingham and just continue to improve the damn car

@DirtyMoMedia Not with this car.

Do you agree? 🤔 If so, which race does it replace?

@jonathanoatess Exactly. Could someone tell how the race was bad?

...i thought the xfinity series race was awesome???

@S1apSh0es If you look behind the Tide car, you see Matt Kenseth in the 17 Dewalt car. This had to have been 2000.

Darrell Waltrip in the route 66 car, right side of the picture. 1999

@AlextheAdm1ral We are getting to the point where we need to start developing the Gen 8. Sports cars don’t race well on ovals. Who woulda thought?

Really bummed that although Phoenix, COTA and Darlington were noticeably improved with the small HP hump, at this stage in the Martinsville race you can't even tell anymore
