Trucks will have pic related for 2016 and beyond....chase format in xfinity and trucks.....charters confirmed
This kills the NASCAR
Brian France needs to step down
what the fuck does this shit mean
so if there's no cautions after 20 minutes, one gets issued anyway
>>65047537
Yes, only in trucks......for now
>>65047537
Every 20 minutes they throw a competition caution, if a yllow comes out drung those 20 mins, they reset the clock at green
>>65047569
That's bewildering.
What a fucking stupid idea.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. Just as I was getting exciting for Rico Abreu, NASCAR does something to turn me away from the truck series.
I've accepted the Chase points structure. That much I can live with. But mandatory cautions? You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Please tell me they are doing away with the lucky dog? You can't keep everyone on the lead lap. Someone, e.g. John Wes and Jennifer Jo, needs to finish a lap down. That's how motorsports works. Lap traffic is just part of oval racing and it makes racing exciting at times.
>>65047428
well at least there will no longer be any 'debris' cautions right?

This is seriously the most retarded idea I've ever heard. What the fuck man.
At least it's just in trucks but god damn.

meme magic is real, boys
Look what I found
So basically there are no more "long run" setups. There are no more road course strategies. There are no more green flag stops (unless you have something go wrong and need to pit). There will be manipulated lucky dog racing with setup cautions.
I like that they added the chase to the other series, but the caution clock in trucks is fucking dumb.
Or even better yet, what's to stop someone at the front of the field on an intermediate or bigger track to stop on lap 19 or a run, stay on the lead lap, then assume the lead after others pit?

While I appreciate NASCAR’s effort to bring more excitement to the product in their lower series, I’d be remiss if I failed to point out their overlooking of the monumental elephant in the room. Several years back NASCAR launched its ‘Green’ campaign. A campaign designed to raise awareness in protecting our Mother Earth. NASCAR claimed to be taking several steps to ensure the sport would continue to become as green as possible, but they’ve fallen well short in that regard. As the value of the Russian ruble continues to drop to record levels, we are seeing the cost of our most valuable natural resource plummet. On the surface this may feel like a good thing, but in terms of economic and environmental long term impacts, this will have devastating consequences. NASCAR is a sport built around traveling the country to put on races in various states so that their fans can all have somewhat of a ‘local’ race, but with television contracts and the state of network TV, many of these races are unfortunately being pushed to a primetime slot. NASCAR has had a fantastic opportunity to further their ‘Green’ initiative in these situations, but for whatever reason, likely ignorance, they’ve failed to capitalize on it. Rather than enormous banks of light which further strain local power grids, the drivers could be racing with their headlights instead. But at the end of the day, NASCAR prefers to talk the big talk instead of walking it.

On the real side though, hope GMS finally bitchslaps KBM around in Trucks, someone has to break them up. If Sauter and Enfinger are as good as advertised, they'll win some races.
>>65047428
Man I was considering trying to start watching NASCAR again but man they just do every single possible thing to make it unwatchable.
Fuck I'm gonna have to watch F1 now. Also they're not fucking ARCA stuff right?
>>65066815
The new rules are only for the truck series
>>65066939
This shit's gonna be moving up the series. Remember they're gonna be testing this wonderful idea and no matter what people say they'll judge it an "ASTOUNDING SUCCESS" like the Chase Format and push it up the chain because of "BRILLIANT IDEAS"
I don't think this sport is for me anymore, any suggestions to replace nascar?

Dear /sp/, do any of you anons know how & where I can follow the FIA WRC live starting tomorrow evening in Monte Carlo? They don't broadcast it on TV in my country.
Will post a very rare Pepe for the kind Anon that can point me to a reliable stream.
>>65067491
Thanks f a m
>>65066999
I wish they would have started with the clock in Xfinity, if we're talking snoozefests, that's the series that needs a massive swing taken at it, not the trucks. There were some boring races last year with the small fields and KBMdominateslol, but it was already looking better for 2016.

JGR unveiling a new scheme for Le Backflip Man on Twitter tomorrow
>>65047428
I have a better idea: No cautions.
>>65047428
Either everyone in this thread knows why this is being done or there isnt even a reason for this to be happening, because no one appears to have asked yet and no ones talking about it.
WHY would they put in mandatory cautions regardless of if theres anything to caution about? Is this really about the people who finish down a lap being terrible and not wanting to feel terrible or something?
>>65047428
what the fuck is this, and why is this happening
>>65075147
"strategy," according to the video
http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2016/1/19/nascar-caution-clock-camping-world-truck-series.html
It seems like what they really actually want the race to be is like a points race in track cycling.
>>65075291
Sounds like lowering the skill gap in professional sports like they have done in video games.
They change the system so that idiots just end up more successful by chance and the professionals arent able to use their skill as effectively to gain an advantage.
Think being able to walk up behind someone on a tiny map and blow them away with a noob tube without aiming, as compared to a large scale map with actual flanking and a team and a line and difficult aim, without cheesy "I win" buttons and kill streaks to do the work for you etc.
If they would take away the downforce and make the cars more difficult to drive, the racing would improve and they wouldn't need gimmicky bullshit to keep it interesting.
If they just wanted heat races, why didn't they do heat races? Trucks are supposed to be a stepping stone up from ARCA/K&N, they aren't that far removed from regional late model type series that do heats. Why did they need to make a horrible gimmick out of it?
>>65079797
Rational thought? Good ideas? What are those?
>>65079797
>heat races on mile and a half triovals
>leader gets a big restart and runs away with it
>FUCK KEEP THROWING CAUTIONS THEY'LL WRECK ON THE RESTARTS ONE OF THESE TIMES
pretty much what the all-star race already is
>>65080241
I was thinking of tying the heats to starting positions like in short track racing
>200 mile event
>field qualifies normally
>field is split into even and odd heats based on qualifying times.
>each heat runs a 75 mile heat race
>slowest 10 cars from each heat are eliminated from the main event
>rest of field is set based on finishing position in heat.
>run final 150 miles as a single event.
>>65080556
Err 125 mile main I guess
>Bowman gone from TBR
>McDowell splitting his ride with Ty Dillon
god damn this RTA, lucky if we even get 40 cars at most of these races this year
>>65080704
They should limit it to 40 cars anyway
Season opening WRC race, still ded thread, rip motorsports ;_;
>>65080776
That's the new limit, but so many teams folded and merged that there's hardly any left that aren't the superteams

>Dale's final win
>>65084533
For the life of me I don't know why Brian France didn't grow a pair and slap Kauffman's shit into the void. This is by far the worst offseason I can ever remember the sport having.
>>65084533
>>65085054
>RTA fails to pass the charter rule by Daytona and gets too pushy
>NASCAR locks them all out
>Frank Kimmel wins 2016 Daytona 500
>>65085311

>>65085054
Brian France has publicly said that the failure of the CoT has made him stray away from Bill Sr. and Jr.'s mentality of "We make the rules, and if you don't like it go play in someone else's sandbox". Which is somewhat justified considering that the CoT has set the sport back a ton.
I just don't want NASCAR getting involved with the FiA, which is the real concern that I think Kauffman presents since the FiA is his background.
>>65086437
I feel like what Kauffman did in his approach to Brian was basically
>Nice sport you got here. It'd be a real shame if something happened to it.
And Brian rolled over because he realized that if the momentum started, of course the oligarchy of Hendrick/Roush/Penske would want less competition and more money.
>>65087040
I know Kauffman has been the subject of ongoing vilification, but I think NASCAR has done it to themselves in a certain sense by abusing the teams with radical car changes every 2-3 years since 2007 and the total cost of all that. And NASCAR isn't in the position where they can union bust, because the balance of power has shifted because there are no more "scab" teams to fill the field if the team owners ever decided to try anything like the first Talladega race again.
My number one concern is that the franchising system is basically a "Reverse Tony George", where instead of it being George reserving most of the Indy 500 field for his league and telling all the big teams they had to fight for a pittance of spots in the field, NASCAR and the oligarchy of owners are essentially saving a place for themselves every week and telling any startups to kill each other for less spots in the field than you can count on your hand.
