re: 2026 NASCAR Season Thread

Anyone else have a bad feeling about San Diego this weekend? I hope I’m wrong, but I think it’ll be a long, boring race with half of it being run under cautions. Hear me out. The track is over 3 miles long so if NASCAR throws a caution, it’ll take them forever to pit and get lined up again. The first stage is 20 laps so throwing 2 cautions will equate to half of the stage being run caution speed. This race and road courses in general do not need stages. I know I’m a pessimist for this take, but I’m thinking about what could happen.

(Why can’t they do at all tracks)

NASCAR will try to speed up caution periods at San Diego in an attempt to minimize the number of caution laps. This is due to the size of the course, which is the longest on the schedule.

Believe me, I’m tired of stages too.
How do you speed up caution periods? Why can’t they do that at all tracks.

That’s awesome for NOAP

I’m biased because my guys a cheat code on road courses, but I’ve been looking forward to this since they announced it. I’m sure there will be moments that make you groan but I think it’ll be an awesome event.
Stage cautions need to be fired into the sun though. Just award top ten points at halfway and be done with it.

Do stages because ads won’t go away. But don’t count laps

I’d just rather the action not stop. If we lose green flag laps so be it.

That leaves the #33. I believe that Austin Hill will not get that ride. Dale jr was hinting that Gragson would be a good fit in the #33 because bass pro likes him a lot. Bass pro wanted him in the JGR #19 years ago, but Joe Gibbs wanted Briscoe instead.
If Noah goes to the #33, that leaves the #4 open. Who knows who could land there.

Some TNT-NASCAR info: Jimmie Johnson will join as studio analyst for TNT races at Sonoma, NWB, Indy while Jeff Burton will be studio analyst for Chicagoland and Atlanta. Marty Smith will host the prerace and postrace coverage. Shannon Spake moves form host to pit road.

Layne Riggs. That dude is the best option to put in a cup car. I expect front row to lose Zane Smith in the next year or two. Would be a bad move to lose your next franchise guy in Riggs too.
Off-topic but would y’all support a nascar race at the lakefront airport in late March or early April? I think that could work for New Orleans.

I’ve been impressed with Zane Smith. He’s been running well with FRM.

Interesting. I imagine with the San Diego race there was interest in doing more as its good PR.

NASCAR and Ford are partnering to hold an exhibition race on Veterans Day (Nov. 11) that will serve as a nod to the military. The venue will be announced at a later date.

The trucks are really struggling in qualifying today
The backdrops are awesome, I’m afraid the racing won’t be

I saw the Justin Marks crash. Yeah, this is going to be a demolition derby.

The Cup cars are going airborne in practice
Cool pictures, but probably not good for racing

Jimmy Johnson had a heck of a save just now

My thoughts so far: The atmosphere, sights, and the USS Carl Vinson look out of this world! Also, this is a fantastic idea to do this for all the service men at Coronado. I appreciate that NASCAR goes out of its way for the troops and patriotism.
Cons: too long of a track and it seems that passing opportunities are few and far between
