Fuel saving sucks. It looks cool when they’re all three wide, but when you know that it’s caused by fuel saving, the cool factor goes away fast.


Say it again


55 to go in the biggest race in the sport and drivers are running half throttle. It’s a joke,

This is a piss poor product. It’s the intentionally slow car in the left hand lane that’s holding up traffic. Everybody hates him!

Lap times are now 4.5 seconds slower than the fastest laps of the day.

Max saving at its fullest.

You know Kevin Harvick is hating this, but he can’t say anything negative on live tv.

I think we’ll see some pits soon to get in front in case of cautions

It makes me wonder “why am I watching?”

Would you watch any other sport where you know the competitors are only giving it 80%?

Well boys, there goes the optimism for better things this season.

Intentionally sandbagging 6 seconds a lap on a SUPERspeedway makes for a piss poor product on the track and NASCAR is too stupid to see it.

I've been following the sport since the 80's and I miss the days when it took balls and nerves of steel to race at Daytona and Talladega. This crap of 178mph just cruising around not racing is bullshite.

At least back in the day when it was 3 wide they were going 200mph plus and they were 3 wide because they were going all out in the plate era.

This race has had furl savings for years. Plus plate racing is a crap shoot.

Real season starts next week

Yall should hear the MRN feed - they're talking about the spectacle of seeing three wide at Daytona and completely ignoring whats actually happening with lap times.

If you want the 500 to be the the biggest race, have a the drivers go 100%.

You aren’t losing the common fan here - you’re pushing away the hardcore fans,

Clint is at least saying in as delicate of a manner as he can, "this is bullshite."

This is bullshite. Either NASCAR needs to increase the tank size or shrink it.

This is the most retarded 500 I've ever seen in my life.
