New rules announced, and think a few here will LOVE the first one (from Racer)
"Another change will be noticed this weekend at the L.A. Coliseum, as the cars will have mufflers on them. NASCAR tested the configuration last week at Phoenix, working to reduce the noise of the car for the overall fan experience and, notably, for those standing directly next to it in the garage." * There will be no stage breaks at the road courses except for the standalone events in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck and Xfinity Series * The damaged vehicle clock in the Cup Series will be seven minutes. It was previously six minutes and then extended to 10 minutes for the NASCAR playoffs. * Wet-weather tires will be available at the following races: L.A. Coliseum, Indianapolis Raceway Park, Martinsville Speedway, Milwaukee, New Hampshire, North Wilkesboro, Phoenix, and Richmond. NASCAR officials expressed it will be a work in progress with using wet weather tires to cut down on rain delays. Rain tires for the short tracks as well now, could be interesting at Martinsville. |

There is now also the "Ross Chastain Rule", which is appropriate:

It was fun that once, but it’s best to put a stop to it.

Agreed.
So any predictions on who is going to run well this year? Logano surprised me by winning the Cup last year given how disappointing Ford were relative to Chevy (and to a lesser degree Toyota). Though in #22's case he was consistent and under the radar a fair bit. I can see Reddick flying if Toyota can provide him a decent motor. I somehow have lost faith in Toyota this last couple of years though: when I see Hamlin, Truex and Busch struggling I think it's telling. They're all very decent drivers even if not everyones favourites. Keen to see if Gragson can keep his cool and make his mark. Bit of a punk but a handy wheel man in the making! |

It's always gonna be Chase or no one for me. I can tolerate Larson enough.
Still weird seeing Harvick as the old man. Wonder what Morgan Sheppard is doing today..... |
