Re: Daytona 500 '23
... wake me up before last 5 laps of each 500' heat , Pastrana was still in by the end ! - ARCA and Infinity races were awesome !
( did ya see the GunsandRoses Tour add bilboard, station break and car - it's like one long commercial...}
... lets make them STOCK cars again - current available as factory optioned - slower maybe but more fun- that would make everybody from enthusiast to grandma want to watch !

... do like the pure physics and physical challenge to the drivers at close to 200MPH for hours at a time. Seems like even after the seamless NASCAR commercials are over, they're in it for the ride until last intense sudden-death finales .
Re: Daytona 500 '23
Who runs closer in a group of 40 or so cars, bumps the competitor ahead to get more speed for both. Uses the air around them to their advantage, steals the air off a competitor for speed.In a racecar that is almost airborne. Keeping up with the strategy alone.
A lot of people don't understand what is going on, especially on the big tracks. They just like the crashs.
The cars a beautiful. 1.5-2 hp per cube pushrod V8s turning +5-8grand all day! Transmission and reargear in the back, IRS, and single nut big dia aluminium wheels, incredible workmanship throughout. I'll watch racecars all day over "stockcars".
Ive been told baseball is game full of strategy, to me BORING
I might catch the highlights of some great play.

That gorgeous 65 Galaxie is a death trap over 40 mph.

Re: Daytona 500 '23
I quit watching NASCAR when they went to restrictor plates and bunching cars. Watching wrecks isn't my thing.
