What is something you wish I NASCAR would bring back?
Also Happy Easter everyone!
Rockingham, North Wilkesboro
yea north wilskburo (I can’t type)
Jeff Gordon's 1997 All Star Car
@@DupontandLowesWarrior yes
The Rock
NASCAR fans: _they’ll never go back to single file..._
NASCAR Bristol dirt: *_Single file restart_*
Lol, I do think it was a good idea tho
It was an ok idea for that type of race
@furor tonicus TBF I thought it was going to be a whole lot worse than it actually was. I honestly didn't think they would actually get a race out of it.
@furor tonicus they completed most of the seconds stage without a yellow.
Nascar fans must not picked up on the fake hate crime that nascar pulled for attention on the sport. They have gone woke.
I just now realized Jackson Storm is going to be real
Oh god...
That will be a very interesting season of NASCAR if that is true.
Oh noo
Oh boy
Hurray? Boo?
One thing (I’m glad) they’ll never do again: Caution Clock.
YES! 100% with you on that
The caution clock was the literally the stupidest idea NASCAR ever had.
How did that caution clock work exactly?
@@erikcorr3261 A caution every 20 minutes. Yep
Caution clock is the antecedor of the Stage segments.
Things that I’ll never do again: put Tyler Ankrum in my fantasy lineup
Sorry about that
F
lmao
11. The catch can man, who lost his job because NASCAR redesigned the fuel cans
I miss old school pit stops. Also I remember forever until like 2003 maybe the crew never wore helmets
@@packisbetter90 have you seen the footage of Junior Johnson take out the NASCAR Official out with a jack during a pit stop? It's hilarious.
Next on The Iceberg: 10 things NASCAR would LOVE to do again.
We need to keep that balance in check Jared.
Ok Thanoscar
They love to do whatever they jolly damn well please. It’s why the rules keep bending.
@@CitySlicker34 you’re welcome.
Changing the points format
@DirtySaint22 Amen.
What’s funny is that in the late 90’s and early 2000’s us fans complained about all the 1.5 mile tracks. They did it anyway and it failed.
didnt even the drivers complain about it as well?
@@pewterschmidt23lord99 I think this video pretty much summed up how they felt ruclips.net/video/PFYSEz0umcY/видео.html
Saving this video for the day that this is proven wrong
Ok. When it does I will be the king of England
@@Mitchell2311 XD
11th thing nascar will never do again: let Darian have a Buddha belly in the garage area
Stop simping. You are embracing yourself
Anyone want to sign up for my stop motion series
I read that sometime in the 60's, a helicopter crashed on the backstretch at I think Michigan, because it was drying the track
Yeah, nascarman History has an excellent article on RacingReference about this incident
@@TheIceberg anyone have a link? I have trouble finding articles on RR
You will never see cars rushing down pit road ever again, due to the pit road speed rules. That's what NASCAR did before 1991 and in 1991, they enacted a pit road speed due to crew member Mike Ritch on Bill Elliott's team getting killed in the pits.
Here's one: Being consistent.
They never did that to begin with
Nascar has the worst management
Good one!
That would imply they ever were in the first place, which as we all know (Especially in the early days ) they weren't.
There's a few things I don't like about the playoff system.
1) Caution at end of stage
2) Win and your in
3) 16 drivers in (I'd like to see top 12 in points)
4) One race to win it all
I'd rather go back to the early chase for the cup style
Same. What they had in the first few years was fine.
Yea it’s fine to award points at end of stage but throw a caution. That takes so much from the race.
One race to win it all, sure. But I don't mind the rest
The day NASCAR removes the splitter
Would really like to see FOX use some of these retro graphics at the throwback race and use them for the whole race.
They might. FOX has always been more interested, involved and invested with NASCAR than NBC. While FOX will show a race in it's entirety (they delayed that Cherries gameshow an ENTIRE WEEK so fans could watch the 500) while NBC will put a race on NBCSN at 6 pm every time a race is on regular NBC just to show local news, paid programming or Sunday Night Football. Reminds me of what ABC/ESPN did with the 2008 Checker/O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix broadcast
@@Maverick33 It Would Be Cool.
Remember when the second race of the season was Richmond? I sat on my hands many times as it is cold in Virginia in February.
I'm not that old but being 30 I do remember Rockingham always being the 2nd race lol
@@packisbetter90 me too I grew up in the 500,rockingham,Vegas,then Atlanta era of the schedule
I DO remember Richmond being the 2nd race it once snowed race weekend. I wore coveralls & still froze. I'm glad they moved it. It was also terrible getting out of the parking lot after the races. I liked it when they put grandstands on the backstretch.
I remember having my hunting overalls on with winter hat and gloves freezing cold drinking a beer good times. Also the year the race was called because of 12 inches of snow
i remember when the Daytona 500 was the 2nd points race of the year.
Since Brian France, the mastermind of the playoffs, is gone, so should the playoffs. End of story.
Whoever took over must be just as bad since they faked a hate crime.
You should read more and not on fake news websites
@@usnationalist8150 They didn't fake a hate crime, if you knew anything about the situation you'd know that.
Bulshit, they had cameras there that they looked back on to see it wasn’t hung there for that purpose, they knew what it was for. They did this for a publicity stunt. A moron would have to believe that they couldn’t of found out all the information before going public. Same time period that they banned the confederate flag and are trying to bring rappers and basketball players into nascar 🤔🤔🤔. You have no idea what’s going on in nascar and the country at whole.
He was the worst thing to ever happen to NASCAR, glad he's gone and hopefully it's for good
imagine watching a helicopter dry the track while being 60 feet away lmao
I would love to see adjustable spoilers again. It was a great way for teams to fix the balance of their car quickly. I used to love it when Gordon, Earnhardt, Wallace, etc. would have their crews lay back the spoiler for extra speed late in races, then have to hang on to it the rest of the way. That separated the elite drivers from the pretty good ones.
I know I am late but I like this
I like when cars could go fast on superspeedway because it makes real competition and the whole point was to see how fast the cars could go now it feels like their is no point in superspeedway races
Exactly
Yeah, when NASCAR curtails the SPEED then there’s nothing Super about SUPERSPEEDWAYS.
I’d like to see a NASCAR Unlimited class but it would have to be on superspeedways and fans would have to be in the infield to watch. Cars going over 220 are going to be missiles at the Talladegas and Daytona’s of the world.
And it's honestly in most ways safer. This huge pack racing shit is what's dangerous.
@@almattei88 and think about how popular that would be
People were questioning racing back to the line for a long time before the 2000's. After DW's 83 wreck at Daytona, David Hobbs was questioning it immediately.
I remember, after Bobby Allison's '87 wreck at Talladega, ESPN interviewed Davey Allison during the red flag. He mentioned something about a "gentleman's agreement" during that race. They held their positions and didn't race back to the yellow because of the high speeds.
2008 really not just killed the Brickyard 400 but had a hand in killing high attendance
Yep. I swear it started really falling off by the late 2000s
Remember what happened around then? All TV broadcasts became digital. You could have a better viewing experience at home with your flatscreen rather than driving to the track.
@@almattei88 well that wasn't the brickyards issue, goodyear was a big issue with tires that couldn't hold up. but also by then nascar was already starting to tank due to all the stupid shit they were also putting in nascar. they got away from what actually made it popular.
@@almattei88 2008 also brought about the huge economic recession. NASCAR’s core fan base is not the wealthy. It’s the good ole boys and girls from small towns in the Midwest and throughout the south, which are geographically some of the poorer parts of the US. The recession hit these families and fans the hardest, and on top of not being able to afford going to races, they could catch the race with a nice TV.
@@Slim-iDot18 My lone NASCAR attendance was at Watkins Glen in 1992. The price of an infield pass was something like $65.00. This was 1992, mind you. Now, you have to have a minimum of $110.00 (not including parking) to buy the lowest-price ticket.
Gouge, gouge, gouge.
As someone who has Darlington in their backyard and truly wants the sport to be great, it's very hard to be a big fan of Nascar when they try to make their sport entertainment-based then creating a great motorsport product. I want to see innovation in aero packages, i want to see a legitimate champion, I want to see Nascar become an actual sport against. A full season format, even on the drivers with the most dominant seasons ever (like 1987 Dale Earnhardt or 1998 Jeff Gordon), it at the very least would put far more weight on the first 2/3 of the season than the current format where races don't begin to Matter until around the last 7. I'm also in total agreement that Nascar should have far less rules on it as with the skill these mechanics nowadays have they could start a speed revolution and really make Nascar become a sport again. It would bring much more legitimacy and actually give more mainstream appeal because it would show people the sport isn't a gimmick but rather a serious entity, like how they were in the 90s and 2000s (which, by the way there were 9 times between 88-02 where the championship was decided by the final race so there was clearly plenty of exciting title battles). With all that said, do I think it would happen? No, because it makes far too much sense for upper management to actually do it
Why is it that people don't understand that Nascar and major sports leagues in general are entertainment based, otherwise they wouldn't exists. It's always been about entertainment. Was in 1948, still in 2021.
@@frevazz3364 Of course to a certain point it's about entertainment but you also want legitimacy, which of itself breeds intensity and entertainment. Maybe I misspoke: It's about them trying to put in stupid gimmicks rather than putting on a fair and naturally enjoyable show. Put the control of the championship in the hands of the team that build it and the drivers for all 36 races. This isn't me talking crazy this is literally how Nascar for the most part operated before the Chase era.
Ya the playoffs make me so mad I’m a huge chase fan and sometimes forget he is the “champ”. Even if the trophy was decided a few races before the racing would be good because race wins are so important for a career.
@@frevazz3364 The problem isn't whether or not Sports are entertainment, the issue is the forced hollywood angle of "Entertainment" in sports (Basically, the relentless pursuit to consistently produce a "Game 7" moment through artificial means). The argument is that by their very unpredictable nature and unscripted variables, Sports don't need these gimmicks to be "Entertainment" and all these do is force an air of something not at all authentic or natural.
@@GoDawgs18 case in point, who deserve the champ more? the guy who dominated 34/36 races with say 7+ wins, or the guy who won 2 races which were races 1 and 36 who has 12DNFs 13 top 10s most of which was in races 27-36? the gimick shit gives the 2nd guy the championship just cause he got lucky with a win at the right time while the real champ the guy who dominated the entire season gets totally screwed.
If nascar wants to be a gimick sport then they just need to hand it over to vinnie mac and the WWE so they can just stage every wreck every pass and every win.
I miss Benny Parsons on race commentary. May he Rest In Peace. Do they still televise the practices and qualifying ? I would love to watch more of that.
Unless it is the Daytona 500 or the new tracks on the circuit this year, they have had no practice or qualifying. 1 day shows with random selection at starting spots.
I want 900HP and practice/qualifying at tracks again!
Practice & Qualifying YES please bring back.
@@robertadams6606 Yeah.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The type of hybrid that NASCAR is gonna use is different from they hybrid system in the Prius. That's where alot of fans get confused, the Prius has an engine, and then switches to electric motors when it runs out of fuel, the hybrid system NASCAR wants to implement still keeps the car fully dependent on the engine but there's an electric motor in between the engine and transmission to add horsepower like a supercharger or turbocharger.
I think if a hybrid can still have a roaring load V8 it's fine, they can run cars under the battery under yellow and save some fuel, as long as the engines don't sound neutered I'm fine with it.
@@polycube868 There is no battery in the hybrid system they're planning to use. Its literally a regular V8 but with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission for more horsepower.
NASCAR is never going to put the “stock” back in stock car, and honestly I think that’s for the best. While it may look cooler to some fans and would bring back some variance in brand design, I don’t think racing cars that are stock from production would produce better racing since modern day stock cars are built specifically for ovals while street cars are not.
The cars haven't been stock for something like 50+ years or so, people don't realize that and mindlessly regurgitation the "I wish they went back to stock cars" line. And that's fine with me. At the speeds they go and the weight, actual stock cars wouldn't be that safe.
@@frevazz3364
Exactly, they've been silhouette cars ever since they all started to be based on Galaxie frames... back in 1966 (iirc).
They should bring Back Gordon's 1997 All Star Car
T Rex and resurrect the Jr Johnson Waltrip blown engine from the all star race too.
Some relatives of mine are working on that in North Carolina
That car is honestly just an older version of today’s cars. Teams started setting up their cars like that one after that and they still do
I would love to see the cars having actual stock body panels
been saying tht 4 yrs the car tht won on sunday sold on monday
that might have just happened
I recommend giving GT racing and trans-am racing a chance if you have not already. They don’t race on ovals as far as I know but they do feature cars that actually look like their showroom counterparts.
Overtime line was the worst thing NASCAR has ever done
#1: make a smart decision
Don't think that actually happened
Love it lol
#2: Don’t fake hate crimes for attention on the sport.
With racing back to the line, you could argue that it made racing unnecessarily more dangerous than it already is by its very nature, ESPECIALLY if the caution was for a car stopped on the frontstretch.
No speed limit on pit road is one that absolutely will never come back.
Still have flashbacks to that bye week. I didn't realize they got rid of it - at the beginning of the season I always have this nagging feeling there'll be no race. 😂
I would like to see the flag stand control restarts and not the leader. Never have to complain if the leader held back or jumped the gun.
Agreed, not because I was a flagman, but because that was the most logical. Everyone can see when the race starts, or restarts, at the exact same time. Spotters, crew chiefs, race control, fans, scoring . . . everybody. It wouldn't matter where you were around the frontstraight, everyone would see the flag go up at the same time. When I was working the flagstand, we had a restart point, which was the restarts were going to be somewhere around that point. Starter can wait a little to see if the drivers can sort out what could be a bad restart. They always clammor about making thibius
I wish they would bring back:
1. plate racing where the drivers can pass
2. repave Bristol so its a one lane around the bottom race track
3. The original Chace for the cup points system.
The Iceberg: *uploads
Me: I am *speed*
I think the one problem with a hybrid is the batteries because if you crash you there will be bad fires and who know maybe an explosion
That all depends on where they put said batteries (As well as what system they will use, which is equally important because that also has an inpact on where in the car the battery will go).
@@RACECAR yea your right but most likely they will put them as low as possible for a better center of gravity
God it irritates me hearing about points during the first couple races of the year..then during the playoffs if you are not one of the playoff players you may as well stay home..you are invisible on tv
I like the new points system and playoffs. If you are out of the playoffs you can still win a race and be on TV. Or just be in the playoffs and you will be on TV.
Encumbered wins.
Remember when Joey Logano “won” the 2017 race at New Hampshire but got penalized afterwards? He kept the win but didn’t get into the playoffs as it was considered an unofficial win. If that happened today, the second place driver would receive the win.
It was not at New Hampshire, it was at the Richmond Fairgrounds where Joey kept the Win but was not let in the Playoffs
@@aldouscoroza Oh.
Agree on the 200,000 attendance. Attendance around all sports leagues has been falling dramatically and that pre-covid.
There is the Double Yellow line rule at Daytona and Talledega. Prior to that rule, cars raced below the bottom line.
Jeff Gordon's pass on Bill Elliott at the 1997 Daytona 500. Jeff was almost in the grass going into 1.
This rule is in place at those tracks for good reason.
Here's one, there was no pit road speed limit. Drivers would go down pit lane at breakneck speed.
Honestly I miss the 900 horsepower package but I think it would be pretty cool to add the high downforce high horsepower
If they actually do practice races for it and it produces good racing then I'm for it. That's one of my biggest complaints is because they don't put their ideas and designs into practice. You can test it all you want but you won't know for sure how it will go until you get a full field to practice race at least 100+ miles out of it.
I prefer high horsepower low downforce
You should have also added that there will never be a caution free race again unless they remove the stages.
Yep. I still remember watching the 2001 Talladega spring race. Last caution free race I remember watching and only one I can remember.
@@packisbetter90it was the 2002 fall talladega race. That was the last caution free race
Also Hybrid cars are not currently environmentally friendly. They are in fact, the opposite.
Racing back to the line is just unnecessary and dangerous and there’s no need to do that, though I get it that for example the moment of Earnhardt racing back to the yellow and winning the 98 Daytona 500 is legendary
Since NASCAR's never going back to a full-season championship, y'all should start taking the Regular Season Championship seriously.
It's not a full-season, but it's 26 races of a straight old-school points battle that features a giant trophy and some cool incentives for the winner. I have no idea why so many people bag on the thing. It's essentially the shortened Winston Cup format.
Honestly I the regular season winners tend to be the guys who deserve the championship more than the ones who won it in the playoffs
@@navyghost2422 Since '17 they've actually won half the playoff titles too in Cup and made the finale every year except for Harvick.
@@danielwest9955 and they often have the best avg finish
@@navyghost2422 Yeah. Their performances are definitely a season worth rewarding.
Other U.S. sports with "regular season championships" (NHL, MLS) just treat theirs as another great/separate title. NASCAR fans should do the same instead of complaining about the playoffs.
No one's stopping them.
@@danielwest9955 I feel NASCAR is kinda at fault for they do not promote it or even celebrate it. At least the president's trophy gets some fanfare with it
Wow I've been watching Nascar since 1996, I've never heard of helicopters used to dry the track. That's one of those "great idea but we didn't really think it thru" type of ideas. The potential liability of those helicopters, keep them away.
Since it is for" intertainment",when will nascar drivers be required to have actors license like what happened to "pro wrestling". Its all just a damn joke
@@jimmydavis7876 all sports are entertainment.
@@frevazz3364 they should just change the name to nascar and have all the little sprints they want! Me? I'll be fishing and camping
Really torn about NASCAR going electric and it's purely for selfish reasons but I just haven't been to that many races in person but the couple races I HAVE been to in person the sounds of the cars are just so amazing and TV just doesn't do them justice. So I'm sitting here trying to go to every single race in 2021.
One thing that I hope NASCAR never brings back....group qualifying.
The thing is the networks will notice the finale has regularly tanked in the ratings
In the 2020 Daytona 500 they were exceeding 210mph on the straightaways.
Racing back to the line under what was supposed to be a "caution flag" never made sense.
I've seen some old races on youtube where they didn't have a pit road speed, like in the 80s. THAT won't ever happen again lol
the overtime line can go f&$% itself. Except for win Kasey Kahne won the brickyard 400, then I love the overtime line
About the only good thing to come from it.
I know a lot of people say the playoffs hurt the legitimacy of the sport, but I disagree. Changing the format every three years hurts the legitimacy of the sport more than the format itself, and I'm glad NASCAR isn't changing it.
I feel like with the now heavily improved safety moderations to the cars and tracks, NASCAR can probably go back to more aggressive traditions like racing back to the line.
The first one had nothing to do with safety concerns. Jimmie Johnson got stuck a lap down once at Bristol because Rusty wouldn't let him by after Rusty let others get their lap back, and he complained to NASCAR. Within a few weeks the rule was changed and the lucky dog came about
Filling a stadium with that many probably wont ever happen, agreed. Especially with COVID still around, and people are just losing interest sport. As someone who isnt a die hard NASCAR fan, I still enjoy the sport but i probably won't ever have the ability to see a NASCAR race in person. Sad to see a once loved sport that i enjoy go down the shitter. Happy Easter.
You missed adjustable spoiler angle. No way in hell that'll be back.
I can give an argument as to why going hybrid is a terrible idea.
The whole purpose of going hybrid is to be environmentally friendly, right? Well, here's something that people should take into consideration. One of the biggest issues with gasoline-powered engines is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. People believe in theory that if you're driving an electric car, you're not burning off any CO2 emissions. Well, that's not true. Electric cars are even being said to burn off worse emissions than diesel trucks. Now, think about where you're most likely to have every car be all electric on the road. Countries like Japan and China, which are among the dirtiest countries in the world in terms of air pollution. When you're driving a hybrid, however, you're burning off emissions from two sources.
And that's not even mentioning what it takes to make a hybrid/electric car. For oil, we simply have to drill for it or frack for it. If it's done right, there are no environmental issues. Now compare that to the power source of an electric car: you have to strip mine for your power source, coal. It doesn't matter how well it's done, that hurts the environment. Not to mention, the power is made in highly polluting factories. How does this help the environment, again?
Yeah, I don't buy it when I am fed BS by the government, or even what society tells me. Honestly, if people really want to go environmentally friendly, the best thing we can do is try to make our equipment more durable to withstand 100% alcohol. Specifically, ethanol. Getting access to it is really easy, clean, and the fuel itself isn't too bad. You're probably still going to burn off emissions, but they're not as bad as fossil fuels.
One thing missed is that NASCAR will not remove the speed limit in pit lane. The pit road speed limit was added after the death of Bill Elliott’s right rear tire changer in Atlanta. A similar accident happened in the same track this year (2021) where a car spun and hit a right rear tire changer (don’t remember the team) but was unhurt. Speed limits on pit road helped there.
Thanks, great info and insight.
something we will never see again is consistent 1pm starts (at least on east coast races) Im not a big fan like I used to be but like to watch once in a while. So I look to see when the race is on and it starts at like 3 or 4.
Hopefully "The Car Of Tomorrow" with the adjustable rear spoiler never returns. That was awful.
One thing I don’t think will come back: Two Concrete Bristol Races along with Two Oval Charolette races.
Dirt Bristol and Charlotte Roval are both likely here to stay.
Another thing Nascar will never do is to let the cars look like actual road cars again. I'm younger, but I miss everything being different. Now, everything is pushed as brand wars on the Super speedways with drafting packs, but every car looks the exact same besides the nose.
Have a nice Easter dude
I want 900+ horsepower, a little less downforce that we have right now, and practice and qualifying
@@johnhaas2523 for like 7 races
I agree on pretty much everything. Especially the sold out races at every track. Remember going to The Brickyard in late 90s to like 2004 and it seemed normal to have it sold out. A bunch of the tracks even had their max capacity with seating sold out before removing sections of grandstands like Charlotte when there were seats from off turn 2 all the way to in between turns 3 and 4. Martinsville and Richmond had seats all the way around too sold out. Really miss those days
NASCAR peaked in the mid-2000s, and has been on a steady decline sense. up until last year I went to both Texas races (it's an hour from home, I like that I sleep in my own bed at night) and the first 3 or 4 years it was a complete sellout, the last couple years it looked like a Friday qualifying crowd on Sunday.
What about the pit stop show down that they did to set the pos of the cars in the all star race?
Full length races no stage breaks? I hope they come back
Yes, I can't stand the stage crap. Leave heat racing to the Saturday night dirt tracks.
@@davidhodge1419 Agreed.
Things that NASCAR will never do again: have a driver be popular enough to market the sport and rocket it into popularity the way Earnhardt did.
If NASCAR succeeds at creating a Drive to Survive style behind-the-scenes documentary, I think one of those drivers will start to get a big fanbase.
I never knew how many gripes I had with NASCAR until I started watching these videos and the other popular channels.
I want to see NASCAR run the All Star race with a no restrictions rule on the engine. A "Run What You Brung" type of format.
They need to keep the cars slow so Rick Ware cars aren’t getting lapped every five laps.
2 years later and this is still very true
I always liked racing back to the line, but after they changed it I realized how horribly dangerous it was. Especially since there are usually one or more completely disabled cars on the track that's just a sitting duck to get creamed at over 100 mph.
Side note, when I was young, my dad and I went to the fall Michigan race every year from 93-2000. Every time it was sold out and they couldn't get grandstands built fast enough. Being a part of a crowd of over 200,000 people is insane.
I don't want it back but NASCAR didn't always have a speed limit on pit road. Watching cars come off the track at full speed and blaze to their pits was ... horrifying.
Someone died from it..
@@AFC7000 bill elliotts tire changer I believe
@@Foxdidnothingwrong Yup
NASCAR used to run two different kinds of race cars in the same race. In the inaugural Daytona 500, the race featured not only the Strictly Stock cars, but a Convertible class (Richard Petty drove a convertible in the 1960 race).
Also, for the inaugural Talladega race, you had a bunch of Grand National cars running alongside the Sportsman Division cars because of the driver strike.
Like the incognito shout out at the end 😂
Your theme song at the end i... hate it so much I like it.. so thank you for thst.. besides that great job on the list love it
I hope NASCAR can bring back the Winston Cup Format
I hope they bring back the X pipe on restrictor plate tracks. The gen 4 cars sounded amazing on Daytona and Talladega.
Solid list. Would def love to some of the old rules come back in Heat or Iracing
I had never heard of them using a helicopter to dry the track before watching this.
Same
Here's some more stuff they'll never consider doing: Xfinity race in Canada, the market just isn't large enough to justify expansion into Canada beyond maybe a Truck race at ICAR or Sanair, and if Montreal is going to have a second race day, it's going to IndyCar in all likelihood.
Weren't those Montreal xfinity races always attended well? Anyways, the track works great for Nascar, but it's too close to Watkings Glen, but with the new road course mindset it could happen.
@@frevazz3364 Attendance was decent by today's standards if that's what you're asking, but NASCAR ain't what it used to be and with local law prohibiting the track from being used for more then 2 race days per year, unless NASCAR is willing to have IMSA bring back the Montreal 200 on top of an Xfinity or Cup race, it's really not worth the effort over IndyCar being given the day. A truck race being given to ICAR or Sanair are honestly the most we'll likely get unless Canadian Motor Speedway ever escapes development hell and actually gets built.
I could see the Xfinity series maybe racing at Mosport in Ontario. Somehow that track still has its truck series race date, so NASCAR must be doing something right. But then again, it isn't as well-known as Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, probably because it hasn't hosted an F1 race since the 70s. So who knows?
I think another thing is NASCAR will never go back to 850 horsepower and cars pushing 9500 RPM on 1.5 mile tracks.
Miss that most
Something that’ll never happen at least imo is triple digit numbers
NASCAR will never get rid of the splitter, unfortunately
They'll have to eventually, cuz it's annoying that when you get into the grass, the splitter just digs in and destroys the front end
@@cito1101 yeah, teams have started complaining and NASCAR tends to follow what the teams want: an example of this is the chase being pushed for by the teams and NASCAR then changing to the chase.
I hate it too
I had never heard NASCAR used to dry tracks with helicopters! That was a new one for me. 👍
They should and will never race back to the line under caution. Could you imagine jumping out of your burning car as fast as you can with cars coming at you still racing?
Hey, that's my clip at 9:16 neat!
The speed and competition point is something I agree with wholeheartedly
"2019 Kansas was good" Lol no it wasn't. I was horrified seeing cars running wide open and there was no actual side by side with off throttle.
We never thought NASCAR would run a dirt race again, so fingers crossed for some of these
One more i think you missed.
Back to stock-based cars. Use literally dealer Mustangs, Camaros and Camrys, but modified to the extreme.
So there was no excitement late in the season with drivers with nothing to lose settling scores and gambling to get a win? They started the chase to appeal to people with a short attention span and their attention ran out before 2004 ended
While I see your point in missing the 990 HP package back in the 80s, I'm really glad they got rid of it.
1. Considering how much faster cars today are going, back in the 80s it was common for a driver to lead every lap flag to flag and run away with the W.
2. The racing gets really spread out, and NASCAR hates that ( hence why they thow fantom cautions that one time ) heck a almost fell asleep at this year Coke 600, with the only thing keeping me up was Kyle Larson and Chase Briscoe's battle.
3. Remember when Kurt Bush got a concussion at Ponoco, considering drivers have been complaining about the Next Gen cars, having a wreck like Cale Yarbrough's at Daytona when he reached 200 MPH could lead to serious injury or end an entire driver's career altogether.
My Father always thought racing back to the line was stupid and dangerous.
