MORE rule changes?! My god NASCAR

 

[The Bman]

Might as well have no rules and just institute them as the race goes along.

 

[MustangRyan]

And by extention (or so I assume), this is what makes many of these teams have technical alliances with the big teams.

And that's mutually beneficial for both teams. Gibbs will be getting feedback from 6 team-affiliated cars next year. HMS will be going from 8 cars to 4 with SHR moving from Chevy to Ford. I'm really interested to see if this makes the JGR/Toyota cars stronger, by breaking up the HMS/SHR alliance. Do we know if Ganassi receives support/provides feedback to HMS, or just buys the engines from them as part of their alliance? Will SHR be working closely with Roush or Penske next year?

It's better they say the rule now, rather than leave it up to chance at Homestead

I'm thinking SHR will work with Penske for sure. They've got far better cars and better tuned engines. I think if you want to win with Ford, Penske are the people you want to work with.

They need to shave these spoilers down on these 2016 diecasts to match the current aero package.

The 1:64 2016 diecasts sort of have a similar small spoiler to the 2016 ones. Not sure why they can't do the same with the bigger diecasts

They can I just don't think they want to make a new mold. Kinda sucks.

I still have nightmares of that awful mold they used for last year's diecasts

 

[RACECAR]

Has there been a new Die-Cast for the Trucks? I haven't seen one.

I'd get a dremel tool and grind it down myself.

I would if I didn't pay $70 for the diecast.

Don't they pretty much do that already?

If we're honest, yeah basically.

Which is appropriate considering who he's sharing this sponsor with as well as his chase chances.

 

[nascarfan1400]

That reminds me, still haven't gotten my Tony Stewart/Mobil 1 diecast from the survey yet.

Nor have I, however, my phone has been ringing more often from telemarketers and the like, so I'm starting to wonder if the two are connected.

So it was a scam... ;_;

 

[nascarfan1400]

I have no idea what any of you are talking about, and I follow almost every Tony Stewart pages that are official, so yeah, probably a scam.

We should've asked you first I think.

 

[BKGlover]

There's no way this race is starting right now.

 

[Jahgee]

It could just be taking long to process all the orders, and it's not like it cost you anything , maybe in a couple months we'll all receive happy little packages in the mail with free diecasts.

EDIT: Xfinity moved to 10 AM tomorrow
