Embarrassing
On one hand, Reddick is definitely benefitting from the Chevrolet model modification that has made them a lot slower (Trackhouse is the biggest evidence of that.)Tyler Reddick with another W to add to his collection. 5 out of 9 so far. Pretty damn good
Then there's all the drama with Kyle "Fraud" Busch running P36 all day
Case in point, if NASCAR is so hell bent on keeping the stage points, they can simply look at the sports car series they own (IMSA) to see that the breaks are not needed. They don't need to bring out the pace car to score the endurance points- nevermind its better racing since we all know the teams can choose their strategy without destroying the flow of the race. We all know that though so the fact that they still have the caution makes even less sense.Aside from Carson Earnhardt's win and epic victory celebration, that was one of the worst Talladega races I've ever seen (exaggerating, but you get the point). The next-gen product on super speedways clearly hasn't worked.
NASCAR really needs to just ditch the stage breaks and let the race happen naturally. Because--obviously--why wouldn't you go 50% throttle when there's a guaranteed caution coming in x number of laps? Why wouldn't you just ride around biding your time keeping the car clean when everyone will re-rack on the final stage and make no moves until the last few laps.
It's funny when Chad Finchum and Cody Ware were leading, I saw a tweet that said the field collectively decided to let them lead to see what it felt like
They tried no stage breaks a few years ago at road courses and hated how then the races were runaways. If Daytona/Talladega are runaways it will be because they removed restrictor plates. The plate tracks are fine to run no stage breaks period.
I'm not against stage points but I'm totally against cautions at stage. Let's give the points without throwing a caution flag and race on. I believe this is one big thing NASCAR got wrong. Maybe still have the halftime breaks for the Trucks since it is more for low budget teams.Your thoughts?
Stages are fine as long as there are no cautions. It creates more issues at plate tracks than it solves.
Anything to bring back the Truck Series to its roots from 1995
I totally agree. I liked him in the past but his tantrums have just gotten old.The world has moved past the need for "Kyle Busch."
Sucks that he's stuck in garbage RCR equipment but this dude has not matured at all. How are you going to throw away a near Top-10 (sounds so embarrassing written that way) result because you cleared yourself off "John Hunter Nemechek?"
