Nobody really cares about NASCAR anymore. Just look at all those empty seats at Atlanta. The ONLY thing keeping NASCAR alive is their TV contract. The CHASE and the LAME Stages have killed this sport. The stage thing was the last straw. They stop the race during the race at the end of a stage? Nothing more than a mandatory caution. SO STUPID.

I saw something about stages when I happened to actually look at the TV yesterday. What is that?

And what is up with the talk I heard during Daytona about it being the last restrictor plate race? Something about an engine change or something.

Each race is now broken into 3 stages...winner of the stage gets a playoff point and the top 10 of the stage gets series points. It's an attempt to allow for strategy and for some drivers to score points they otherwise wouldnt.

I'm really not sure if its done anything for the sport, but it's a way for those in playoff contention (a previous race winner is a playoff participant) to get an edge against fellow competitors.

I have followed it from a distance and really dont care about the points racing...

Old school was pure points racing, but that was too boring and now, it's just become ridiculously confusing. I thought the playoffs were a good idea, but Nascar needs to finish (like PGA is now) before football starts. They need maximum eyeballs and they dont start their 2 month playoff until football starts.

They are getting rid of the restrictor plate in favor of another HP limiting part in the engine...the problem has always been limiting HP and the superspeedways are just a joke of a race, but unfortunately that's Nascar's bread and butter.

The sport is dying...they never should have expanded as large as they did and built so many cookie cutter tracks. If they were smart, they would have made the tracks be less than 1.5M and each track unique. Of course the most popular track, Bristol, has lost its luster and that's truly a shame.

There is a new generation of racers, but they have NO personality and the veterans that remain have no personality. I think Nascar is going the way of Indy racing. Both sports will become one race sports...

I know Larson struggles at Martinsville but @ 50/1 odds on mybookie.com is definitely intriguing.

I like the stages, it gets them bunched up thoughtout the race. Having a driver dominate just because he’s in clean air is boring as ****.

I also like the new package for this year. We’re seeing more passing now.

This week is one of those weeks where viewership will be down because you have to have the FS1 network of the app. Going with a channel that is not a very common channel is ridiculous. If someone that doesn't carry extra packages wants to watch it they will have to find a free stream.

Wow!!! I like this!!!

Bristol will be the first round cutoff race, that’s going to be a crazy ****ing race!!

Double header at Pocono!!!!

Daytona being the last race of the regular season is awesome. No driver wants to rely on a Daytona race to make playoffs. Shits wild fam.

Going to my first Nascar race in Watkins Glen! How long does a race typically last? And what should I expect? I will be sure to post pics!

I heard road courses can be difficult to see all the action. Depends on how many cautions there is to determine the length of the race. Since it’s a road course I would say 9 cautions total (including stages). 4 hours of racing

I figured 4 hours, and probably wouldn't see everything(Being a road course). But I am sitting by the start/finish line. Do they tailgate there? Im planning on drinking some brewski's. Should be a good time.
