Unfortunately the playoff has killed the game of the century (all of them) for a manufactured chance of #1 vs #2. Weโre never getting these stakes and this organic drama ever again.
Corey Heim wins the Brickyard 400. Bad race. Bad card. Bad day.
Let's be blunt: that was not racing. Nobody could pass for 160 laps. The entire event was pit math and tire failures wearing a race costume. The pole sitter TOLD everyone Saturday that passing doesn't exist here, and NASCAR let it play out exactly like he said.
Fix the package or stop calling it a crown jewel.
We own every loss and we learn from every one. Full grade tomorrow, every leg, in public. That's the deal.
โRaces are too long. We should shorten the distanceโ
Brother, right now Iโm sitting through 10 minutes of fat-loss injection commercials while the cars crawl around the track at 60MPH. Just open your eyes. Itโs really, really not that challenging
Here's what this actually means.
They're cutting the spoiler from 7 inches to 4 and pulling 45 horsepower.
Translation: pulling out of line stops being a death sentence. The draft becomes a weapon again instead of a parking lot.
They're not making Daytona into Atlanta.
They're making Daytona into Daytona.
NASCAR is supposed to be hard. These drivers are worn. Out. After this race.
The amount of skill it took Logano and Denny to carve through the field like they did, that is how it was in the 80s and 90s at this track.
Drivers could move around, they could pass, and what an environment it was.
This track needs to be on the schedule as a points race from here on out. Great stuff.
