@CouchRacerShop Pitstop*

@CouchRacerShop Evident that these cars have a hard time creating runs. But better than having a green flag pistol and fuel savings. Still not as good as it used to be or NOAPS.

What did you think of Stage 3?

@NASCARONFOX BUT THEN YOU SKIP VICTORY LANE, YOU FUCKING CLOWNS!

Iconic. Carson Hocevar celebrates at Talladega hanging out the window.

@NASCAR @PatMcAfeeShow @ToneDigz @BostonConnr @tyschmit

HE IS DRIVING THE CAR AND CELEBRATING WITH THE FANS ... AT THE SAME TIME!!!

@TampaTimms Couldn’t agree more.

@nerdNASCAR NEED to bring these back and skip the front stretch interview

Official Talladega Broadcast “Errors”: - Cole Custer has 1 win - Kentucky 2020 - Why did Denny not get the wave around at the end of stage 2? - Ricky Bobby went to Applebee’s not Chile’s

@TampaTimms Said Ty Gibbs was leading when he was the last car on the lead lap.

@XfinityRacing @CarsonHocevar @SpireMotorsport @Chilis We missed it because @NASCARONFOX wanted to show 2nd and 3rd place interviews instead.

So many ‘dente’s are going down tonight.

@NASCARONFOX are we really showing the 2nd place interview instead of the victory lane celebration!? #NASCAR #FoxSucks

If Steve O’Donnell wants to truly unite the NASCAR fanbase, he will concede that the future of NASCAR does not rely on the Gen 7 car. It relies on the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series car. Please. Concede the obvious. Make the future racing product better.

@TravisRockhold Where do you find audio transcripts?

Wish i could see what the 20 team said after not pitting but their audio transcript isn't showing up for me

@GarageGuyChase Maybe IMSA. Not NASCAR.

Motorsports should be the test bed for innovation and performance that serves a benefit to the OEM. As we head into the future, it makes sense to start pushing the limits with technology and machinery, and letting that serve purpose in the consumer market for performance.

@jeff_gluck I think people are afraid of it making a mockery of NASCAR like Talladega Nights did.

I'm genuinely asking because I don't understand: What's the deal with the Cleetus hate? He's running ARCA (exactly where he should be to get experience), he has a ton of real enthusiasm for NASCAR and he's bringing a huge audience to your favorite sport. And all some of you do is take shots at him? Why? I honestly don't get it. Please explain?

@BoziTatarevic We don’t want fake cautions. We want natural cautions, we want the cars to be hard to drive and on the edge of out of control. Mistakes lets you know it’s hard, and they are human. But these shitbox cars don’t present that. Makes it seems anyone can do it. NOAPS does it right!

I am always confused when people demand removing stages but then also vote down a race that has long green flag runs.

@FreddieKraft @InCircles20 Yes. As a Pirates fan, we have been asking the MLB to force ownership to sell for years!

@InCircles20 Do you think MLB should revoke White Sox or Rockies franchises from their current owners?

And there lies the core problem with the charters They’re working as designed. They’re rewarding owners, regardless of performance Charters, at their core, are anti-competitive. That’s good for owners, and bad for the sport It lends itself to more pay-drivers, too

@NASCARInsights Because it’s a trash car thats too easy to drive and too slow.

There have been six DNFs in the last five races, the fewest in a five-race span in Cup Series history. Additionally, the 2026 season has seen 54 total cautions, the fewest through nine races since 2012 (48).

@TravisRockhold @dennyhamlin Also would provide something for TV to talk about in the closing laps about how many lapped cars can the leader put between him and 2nd in case of OT.

@TravisRockhold @dennyhamlin Overtime restarts should be single file with lap traffic in line as they were running on the track. It would be more fair to where cars were running but still provide potential excitement NASCAR is looking for.

This hurts

@pkligerman @jeff_gluck The cars don’t even look like the cars on road, it’s in name only. Why keep jumping through these hoops? Build the best classic stock car (NOT SPORTS CAR) you can & race. Let the mfgs brand it how they want. The Cars Tour is about to become king if this continues down this path.

I’ve called the OReily series “Classic stock car racing” for years now but it does expose an issue for all racing series currently. Unlike other sports, motorsports is requested to entirely change its product every few years to satisfy OEMs and technological changes. The question is: Do you continue to change with them, or prepare a platform that can survive in an OEM-less future? Is that 10 years away? 20 years? Sprint cars, dirt late models etc are essentially this. Are they relevant technologically? No. Do they have a dedicated fan base? Yes. Then there’s the issue that the current car has a dwindling supply of parts and the manufacturers of those parts are disappearing. Thus I don’t envy NASCARs situation here. Invest in keeping things as they are by becoming involved in the parts and pieces that are relevant no where else? Or change with the whims of consumer preference for OEM support? Risking the very product your customers love. It’s a really tough spot. My heart says, just stay as is. Let the cup series change but keep one for your hardcore fan base. But I’m not staring at the spreadsheet data.
