AMP Energy 500 at Talladega (Sunday Noon ET)

[BB73]

Which driver wins the last restrictor plate race of the year?

I hate restirctor plate races...yea the last 10 laps are fun to watch, but the rest of the race is boring as hell (more boring than a normal race)

 

[BB73]

This race really sucked to watch.

They don't need to tell them to leave space in the corners, they just need to tell them that bumping somebody in a corner in a restrictor-plate race will result in a drive-thru penalty.

And the concept of the chase failed this year. Under the old system, Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson would have a good battle going now, as it is, Johnson has it all but wrapped up.

Thanks, NASCAR, for fucking up the big races and the points battle.

The chase hasn't been really all that great outside of 1 season when you had Gordon, Biffle and Jimmie all battling it out in the last race of the season....I personally hate the chase cause its screwed Gordon out of 2 championships already.

 

[BB73]

Ditch the chase, ditch the 5 bonus points for leading a lap, ditch the 5 points for leading the most laps, that's chicken shit.

Give 1 point per every lap led, in addition to the points for the race finish, and led all the guys race for the title all year long.

It makes too much sense, so it'll never happen.

 

[Bucknut24]

one of the dumbest things the did was made whoever had the most amount of wins before the chase, is in first place, i hate that so much, no reward for consistency anymore

I only truly enjoy NASCAR before the Chase starts. These silly, non-traditional races are worth more in the grand scheme of things that the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400 and both Bristol races combined.

And there aren't any road courses in the Chase. If its a true test of overall skill, how could you not have a race from Watkins Glen or Sonoma.

Its a joke and I'm souring on NASCAR because of it.
