2020 NASCAR Thread

It's a show with

... a manufactured "postseason" (but everybody races in it)
... a manufactured "All-Star Race" (but everybody races in it)
... manufactured starting positions drawn from some algorithm
... manufactured segments
... manufactured arbitrary finishing distances

Women's Olympic ice skating is less rigged than NASCAR.

 

Since they stopped running moonshine in between races.

 

Correct. But the biggest problem ... and please take note, France family ... ?

It's not a "show." Stop treating it like one. It's embarrassing to call it motorsports.

 

It used to be.
The Frances have always had a heavy thumb, but at least they used to actually race stock appearing cars.

 

There has been a business name on the trophy since NASCAR took a bunch of money from a cigarette company to slap its name on the trophy.

 

Not anymore. When Sprint went away, Brian France scrambled to get Monster Energy on the trophy for a fraction of the price.

For this season, nothing. Tried to name it after the Frances in poor attempt at spin.

 

I was joking about how older fans complain about how long it’s been since NASCAR stopped being about racing, and about how they’ll pick any random thing to complain about.

Oh, got more:
… since they messed with Martinsville hot dogs.
… since they put functioning bathrooms in the Talladega infield.

 

And now we go after Jesse Jones hot dogs. Does Dirty Harry put ketchup on it?

The Talladega joke was good.

 

Fuckin' Americrown.
Don't mess with Martinsville hotdogs.

 

That’s where the SJ phrase of lore “fetid tub” comes from, yes? I’ve been here way too long.

 

I believe that was the Notre Dame press box.

I have been on this board for too long.

 

Never confused "malodorous swill" with Martinsville hot dogs here ...
