    Nascar-Gimmicks

    Dale Jr's own words, Gimmicks trying to trick up the race is going down the wrong path. The way to make racing exciting is to make the cars exciting. This was said referring to the all star race last night but if Nascar would listen it pertains to every race including the chase.

      Another great black eye for NASCAR !! It was so sad that nobody had any idea what was going on. Not the fans, not the crews, not even the booth knew what they were seeing. It was total confusion! There was so many twists and turns that there could have been a Chinese fire drill going on and nobody would have known whether it was part of the format or not.

        Yeah but, the racing between Chase, Ryan and Larson was great in the afternoon and as a fan thats all I care about. Heck with the format.

            Yeah like I said the race in the afternoon. believe me I watched in the Afternoon and I watch at Night. I could care less about the format or that no one could figure out what was going on. I was watching the race on the track. I guess I'm just not that interested in that kind of stuff like others. all I care about is the racing on the track any good. I don't care about this gimmick or that gimmick. If the racing is good that's all that matters to me and so far this year it's been better.

              The afternoon races were great for sure, but with the format, they managed to eliminate two championship drivers completely ... That kinda sucked ... the racing was OK in the evening, but probably spoiled by the afternoon stuff, it was bad azz...

                Glad you like the racing this year so far as long as they have one fan left I guess they will survive.

                    I Know what you mean. I'm still not sure of what the format was other then in the afternoon once you won a segment you were in. I'm still not sure about the night race but, like I said I wasn't concerned about the format.

                        Man if you couldn't get into that race between Larson and Chase Elliot and the one at Dover with Kenseth, Larson and Elliot, I just don't know what your expecting from a race both extremely good

                          I agree both were pretty good races.

                            Exact same thing can be said, and maybe a little more, of the last 3 Indianapolis 500's.

                              That would mean I'd have to be bored to tears for 498 miles to watch two guys go across the finish a few blocks apart... not gonna happen...
