Did you go by the track? The parking lots are mud holes. It would've been a shit show if they didn't postpone.

It'll be a little better tomorrow. Still think postponing was the right call. Stands would've been full of snow, folks falling down, etc.

Can't blame the new body for poor performance at Martinsville.

Race was awesome. Good job by NASCAR not throwing a bullshit caution.

FYI, the delay in the race caused the Monday food promotions to be moved to Tuesday. Today you can get free pickle chips at hooters when you buy a drink because Elliott finished in the top 10.

You also get a free bloomin' onion with your Outback Steakhouse order today because Harvick finished top 10.

I don't know what the deal is with Southern National. Used to be one of the best tracks in the state. Shit now. Once you get rid of the legends/bandoleros/midget kids classes and the UCAR/anycar junkyard classes, there's nothing left but limited and LMSC, and the car count sucks in those classes. Seems like the track management has run off any serious racers because of inconsistency with the rules, favoritism, etc.

I remember fields of 20+ in street stocks, super stocks, late model stock, and late model sportsman. You'd have 30 cars show up to run the old 4 cylinder class. And they ran every Saturday with packed stands and a truck backed into every single trackside spot. Almost all the drivers were just local guys with regular jobs, even in the upper classes. What happened to grassroots oval asphalt racing? Is it simply the costs that killed it?

^yeah they need to slow the cars down 25 mph somehow, its better than 2014 when you were stuck and couldnt get the other car loose tho

i think they need to let some air under the cars. that will keep the lead car from robbing the one behind him of any air at all. they also need to fix the deal where cars can't get beside each other without wrecking. like Keselowski said, race cars should be able to race beside one another.

^you might be right but the problem is the ability to wreck someone is the only reason they can pass at all as fast as they are going

Quote :
"NASCAR will use an aerodynamic package for its All-Star Race that will include an engine restrictor plate and front aero ducts that will move the air to the side of the car before it hits the front wheel. The package, which also includes a six-inch spoiler equipped with additional six-inch “ears” at the ends, was used in the 2017 Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis. The May 19 race, which pays $1 million to the winner, will consist of four stages of 30 laps, 20 laps, 20 laps and 10 laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In a change from previous years, NASCAR will use its overtime rules for the end of each stage instead of just the end of the race. There are no mandatory pit stops, and only green-flag laps will count in the final stage."

Wish they could achieve good raving without restrictor plates, but at least they're doing something. I'd prefer to just go to more short tracks.

If NASCAR's solution for auto racing is restrictor plates, why can't I just run a V6?

Remove the aerodynamic aids/make the cars boxier. There's no reason for example to have a splitter.
