Im not sure I understand the hype that comes with NASCAR releasing their schedules for the upcoming season. Not that I am criticizing the poster in this thread...but elsewhere, I've witnessed so much anticipation and excitement for the upcoming calendars.

Much like Gomick stated, it is the same poo poo every single year. Everything is the same, dates don't change and the order of which the races fall with ALWAYS remain unchanged, save for maybe one or two races. NASCAR needs realize that change is needed to resolve the issue of their steadily declining attendance rates (Which has been the case for nearly every race this 2013 season), and possibly add some proper road circuits to the calendar which for all we know, could bring a refreshing change of pace to an otherwise mundane schedule and therefore bring in new interest.

I'm not now and have not ever been into too much hype, but I understand and fully agree with NASCAR releasing their schedule, for the coming year, as early as possible. Several reasons, one, it allows those that attend races to start making their plans to attend races for the upcoming season, i.e., arranging vacation time, if needed, reserving hotels, etc. Two, it shows stability to the fans, as they know generally when the particular races will be run. As to those that show anticipation and excitement, why is that so hard to understand? Everybody is different, with regards to what they like and dislike. Seems to me that if someone really likes/enjoys something, it would be normal for them to be excited and to anticipate the release of something that they like/enjoy.

Again, I disagree. Yes, it is basically the same schedule, year after year. That is VERY smart! It shows STABILITY! Something complelely lacking, to the detriment, of practically every other racing series and form of racing in this country! Stability, is one of many key factors that has allowed NASCAR to keep a strong fanbase, while attracting new fans. The fans know when and where the races are, year after year, there is no guessing game as to when and where the races with be, either for those wishing to attend the races in person or to watch on TV. Also a factor in attracting and keep sponsors. Sponsors know when and where the races are, know where and when to place their heaviest emphisis on what areas for maximum exposure of their products or services. Stability also plays a roll in having a good television coverage package. Networks do not have to continually juggle their programming schedules to accomidate the races. This helps with "eyes on the tube" as the fans know when to tune in, without having to franically search for what times, what station, etc., the races are on. More eyes on the tube makes the sponsors happy. Are things 100% perfect? No, and they never will be. Sure, attendence is down, just as it is down for every other racing series and every other sport and entertainment endeavor. The MAIN reason for this is the failed, non-improving economy of this country. This is not a political statement, I won't debait the reason why or who is responsible for the dead economy, I am only pointing out that it has not recovered and the failure to recover has left fans with far less "disposable" income, to spend on things such as entertainment and sporting events. Yes, fans have left, but that has always happened, throughout the history of racing. Some are always going to leave, some of those will come back after a break, some others will walk away, but that has always happened. NASCAR still has the largest and most loyal fanbase of any series/form of racing in this country. It is FAR from rapidly dwendling! Changing things, especially for the sake of change, is seldom a good thing! In most cases it does more damage than good. I would dare say that far more NASCAR fans do not call the schedule "mundane", than those that call it "mundane".

I wouldn't bet on this one. Biggest, most revolutionary thing to be in the works for 2015, I've heard, is one that I VERY strongly support -- The return of the Southern 500, at Darlington, to it's traditional and rightful place on the schedule, Labor Day Weekend. It should have never been moved from there to start with! As to NASCAR and indycar running together, anywhere. Don't hold your breath. Far too many reasons against that ever happening. Two radically different forms of racing, on completely opposite ends of the racing spectrum. Two completely opposite fanbases, with completely different interests in racing. Very few on either side like or support the other side's form of racing and many don't care for, like or get along those on the other side. It would be an easier task, attempting to herd cats, that to keep peace between the fans of those two forms of racing. You'd have better success mixing oil and water, than mixing these two groups of fans. The two forms of racing and their fans just are not compatible. It just will not work.

6 ROTY Candidates in Cup?!?!?! (2014 Silly Season)

We are about 28 days from the start of 2014, so I figured that it's time to post any new news for Nascar in this new thread.

As the title states, we will have as many as 6 drivers competing for Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year: We already knew about Kyle Larson in the #42 and Austin Dillon in the #3, but now we have Michael Annett, bringing his longtime sponsor, Flying J (Pilot Travel Center?), and himself over to TBR in the #7, Justin Allgaier and Brandt to the #51 (most likely), and now Swan Racing expands to two teams and will run BOTH Parker Kligerman and Cole Whitt full time. We haven't had a rookie field like this since 2008. Very exciting to look forward to IMHO.

Along other things, Jeff Burton will drive part time for MWR in the #66 (former #56) car, then will be part of the NBC broadcast crew in 2015.

Mark Martin has apparently stepped away from racing for now. He will not enter the Daytona 500 or any races for the forseeable future.

It looks to be a good battle between Dillon and Larson. I'll be pulling for a Kyle and keeping my tradition of detest for the #3.

Sadly, I can't see it being much of a battle. I, too, am no fan of Childress or his entire blasted family, and Kyle Larsen has shown great signs of talent, but I believe that EGR is a rotten team, and Larsen is woefully inexperienced.

Austin Dillon looks like a shoe-in to me.

I'm hoping for a good contest for ROTY, the potential is there. Hopefully, it will be a good season as well. Most importantly, I hope the upcoming season will see not injury or worse to any of the crews, drivers, officials and fans!

For the first time since several years a decent group of rookies. Due to the team and machine I think Dillon wil win it.

It's finally official! The press interview for RCR has been done and it's comfirmed that the #3 will be run by Austin Dillon full time. Ironically, that pic of the #3 from all the way back in September is the scheme for Cheerios. Dow will be the primary.

http://www.jayski.com/news/schemes/2...3-Team-Schemes

Also, there's some testing going on at Charlotte this week. 30 cars are present this morning.
