The Official 2024 NASCAR Playoffs Discussion Thread

[Doom]

NASCAR doesn't need an In-Season Tournament to cater to some drivers for mediocrity. It was plain stupid for the NBA to have it because they want something to celebrate. How about try to be the best in your sport and fight to win the championship. But, as Blaze mentioned, we should see how it all plays out.

This will die after one season. Stupid idea that NASCAR doesn’t need

 

[Stellar]

I saw comments someplace saying that this was an idea suggested by Hamlin or Dale Jr. or both. I'm indifferent on this idea.

Denny just looking for a way to finally win a championship.

Tbh like, this really doesn’t change much other than just giving the middle of the season something fun. Like it won’t do anything to the Championship race. You have small races, inside of the race, which could lead to fun strategy calls. Definitely some harder, more intense racing among drivers. Some driver have admitted to not pushing as hard, or doing something different after already being locked into the playoffs, surely ones who get multiple wins. It gives them something to actually make bold moves on, and reasons to try. I think it will be good, who knows.

It doesn't. But, I'm old, grumpy, and relatively stuck in my ways. I'm still angry about the Chase XD

North Wilkesboro weekend! Luckily the Pit Crew Challenge was postponed to this morning because I forgot about it. Got the truck race today also..

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Weather sucks this weekend. I'm hoping we get to see some racing. Truck qualifying has been canceled.

 

[Stellar]

The rest of the Truck race has been postponed to 10:30am tomorrow.... Heat races for the Cup race canceled...which sucks. Was hopeful that they would move it to tomorrow afternoon before the other activities. Looks like ill be missing out on most of whats left available.

My dad and I talked Thursday about grabbing a couple tickets on StubHub and making the trip. Really glad we wound up not wasting a trip.

The Truck Series race continued earlier today and we got a winner.

And that is... Corey Heim~!!!

Congrats to him on the victory!

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Slept right through it lol. But I'm here for the open!

 

[Doom]

Glad you made it Tommy.

Got my vote in for Hocevar to make it into the All Star race. His online campaign has been hilarious.

I won’t be watching until tomorrow morning sometime but y’all enjoy
