I heard that they buried the hatchet sometime last year. They both agreed Helmut Marko was the problemlol Webber interviewing Vettel, can feel the awkward.
I thought the rule change to only allow cup drivers to run 5 or 6 busch races was a good move, but after watching yesterday's busch race I think they need to eliminate cup drivers all together. Neither Kyle Larson or his team seemed to care that they won. Logano in second to boot. Don't care enough to find the first busch series only driver.
Jayski is now down. That was the site for hardcore fans, so its end signifies the decline in Nascar. Segments are ridiculous. I think Harvick scored the most points at daytona and wasn't the winner.
I don't know why I am keeping an eye on the series and complaining. It really is a waste of my time. I just really used to like Nascar and Sundays were something to look forward to. Thanks Brian France.
Let's hope Ferrari can keep up and we will see Vettel vs Hamilton.
Hamilton has this tendency to complain or get frustrated when things aren't going his way 100%.
The same way he thought last season Mercedes would fiddle with his engine.
I am wondering if he was surprised that Ferrari could keep up and started to get frustrated with his tries before the stop.
He did complain about them a lot after the stop when he realized he could catch the Red Bull.
Let's hope for a good season.
I'm with you man. Can't even watch the Xfinity races anymore. Back when I was younger, the Busch series had it's own stars. I used to get annoyed in the mid 90's when Mark Martin would run about half the races and win a handful of those. Little did I know that there would be about 5 or 6 Mark Martin's these days that would win over 90% of the races in the series. It's just so pointless to watch the guys that are battling for the championship running 7th and 8th every week.
Yep after Jayski moved to ESPN, I don't even look up qualifying, practice or race results anymore. I can't even find a link on that site to bitch about it either.
It seems that NASCAR wants total control of web content.
I understand Cup drivers wanting the practice on the track that the Xfinity series provides and some just like to race every chance they get. It does detract from the competition in the class and, more importantly, takes money from Xfinity teams. I suppose sponsors want the front running cars.
I wouldn't care about the control but they can't do it in a user friendly format. Nascar.com is almost unusable now. NBA.com went off the deep end last year. Went from extremely user friendly to total garbage. Jayski is now the same way. I have to use the ctrl F function to find out the qualifying results. It shouldn't be that complicated.
The thing is that those same cars would still be up front almost regardless of who drove them. They might have more people watching and paying attention to those sponsors if the series was more interesting. I can't even remember who sponsors who since the companies that sponsor them are so small anyway. In the 90's the Busch series had a ton of huge sponsors. The companies were just as big as the Cup sponsors but those days are long gone now because Nascar decided that having a bunch of redundant pimple faced dorks as the face of their sport was the way to go. The sport needs a Conor McGregor badly.
Long Beach is always a shit show IMO.
worst street course ever.
I say scrap it.
That and St. Pete.
no one wants to race on an airport.
