News and Notes
- Wait 'til you see Kevin Harvick's All-Star car! It's supposed to a Millennial theme and it's pink. A wee bit of controversy too with some of the design. I'll let you decide next week.
- It's another Nascar day ending "Y", so rule changes. Originally, the āextremeā version of the package (with the aero ducts) was not going to include certain big tracks. Now it will include Pocono, Darlington andā¦Homestead. I guess they are thinking the cars are still too fast. :doh:
- The Nascar Fan Vote is open to select an otherwise ineligible driver for the All-Star race. https://www.nascar.com/fanvote
- The Twerp laid into the current rules package;
The package sucks. No [expletive] question about it. Itās terrible. All I can do is [expletive] about it and fall on deaf ears and weāll come back with the same thing it in the fall,ā Busch told NASCAR Home Tracks reporter Davey Segal. āI thought we were off as a program, but obviously the No. 19 won the race, so thatās not the case [ā¦] itād be nice to win more. Run better. Lead laps. This was a real bad weekend for us.
- Harvick also gave his 2 cents about Nascar's qualifying mess, complaining about airing "dirty laundry"
- The Twerp is upset cuz he didn't do better or win at Dover and Harvick didn't like drivers being blamed for the qualifying fiasco. Cry me a river, boys! BTW - The Twerp wasn't fined for actions detrimental to the sport. He could have lost a few bucks.
- TV ratings - Beats me. Can't find a report, maybe it was horrible with rain-caused shift to Monday.
