No way really???

Don’t get me wrong, this is good and I like NASCAR Racing. But they need to make it so we can tell a Chevy, from a Ford or Mopar. The cars all look alike.

Never watched or cared to watch pickup truck speedway racing.

I can barely watch regular NASCAR when you see V6 FWD Toyotas configured as RWD V8s with Camry written across them.

Ha, because we need to see that to identify them.

Never was a fan of Toyotas entry into the series...but without them..all ya have is Ford vs. Chevy..a rather boring prospect

I’m pretty sure they are all alike. I watched the NASCAR inspectors use the same templates to check all the different makes for conformance with the vertical, horizontal and longitudinal dimensions of the bodies and spoilers. It seems like all the critical dimensions have to be the same whether it’s a Mustang, Camaro or Camry.

They lost me when they went woke. Remember the "noose" incident?

Yeah, so why even have manufacturers names on the cars. Just put the drivers’ names on the cars. It’s more of a driver/celebrity thing these days, anyway.

Just another sport that has become so sanitized.and.over regulated..that they kinda lost the essence of the sport...Daytona is the only one I watch now...and that's just the first 20...and last 20 laps..

It all started with carburetor restrictor plates to slow down cars that were faster than the competition rather than incentivizing the competition to develop faster cars.

Agreed...and it's gone down hill ever since...amazing strides in driver safety is the only positive to come out of the sport....every other aspect has made me more of just a casual observer...

Oh you are correct. That particular rule/inspection discourages innovation. I would rather go backwards and watch the different teams battle it out. May the most innovative and talented team win.

What's Nascar?

Disagree. You clearly can tell the difference from the front and back to each brand

That was a Bubba incident why he is so disliked. When they proved it wasn't he should have came forward and said thanks for the support but it wasn't a noose. Instead he played the race card
