This is interesting (Almirola is retired from Cup but is running a part-time Xfinity Series schedule for Gibbs):

It's been corroborated by multiple sources that the incident happened.

I’ve been preaching this forever! Smaller tires and bigger motors! Or tires that wear faster.

And my other idea is Indycar style “Push To Pass” button adding HP for X seconds per race. Has to be more than Indy due to closer racing plus stage endings. But PTP would help. Maybe give so many seconds per stage so use or lose per stage.

Prayers for Jeffery Earnhardt and the Musi family. His girlfriend, street outlaw star Lizzy Musi, passed away last night after a battle with Breast cancer.

Put some 80s style blade spoilers on those cars, and an air dam, and watch things happen.

I'd like to see the 900 HP package come back for this car.

I've been saying for 25 years. Lower the rear spoiler, raise the front air dam, soften up the tires, and give them 100 more HP.

Make the drivers actually have to MANAGE the damn car throughout a 500 mile race.

Why does it seem NASCAR wants a sterile product.
I know nothing about the engineering of cars but some of you seem to have solid ideas that could work to make the races better.

NASCAR wants to forget, and make us forget, that it was born of backwoods hillbilly , shade-tree mechanics, and illegal whiskey haulers.

For the most part, yes.

More power, less downforce makes them have to really drive the car.

I don't want them to have to manage tires. That is an issue with the racing in F1. Hard tires they can abuse would be good.

A big reason they went to these spec cars is they think every race has to be close.
