One less road course this year though since they dropped the Indy Road Course to go back to the oval, so just 5 road course races this year instead of 6, I wish they would have at least brought back Road America or the Daytona Road Course

NASCAR is the reason they draw outside of the lines, drivers just draw where they're told to. If anything, Steve Phelps is the one that needs a coloring book.
Am I watching NASCAR? Or V8 Supercars without the rear wings? The tracks are a lot wider than our Aussie ones, very good for racing, like Phillip Island.
@@ronbelanger4113your comment should be pinned and sent to the people at nascar. Idk why no one bothers to tell the drivers they have to race ON the track not any paved surface they chose to.
@@ronbelanger4113 They use all of the track that Nascar allows them to. Nascar defines very lenient limits, so they go wide on corner exit if that's the fastest way to do it. There was the same criticism of Indycar when they ran the track in 2019. Indycar said the next time they returned to the track they'd add timing lines to enforce the limits at Turn 19, because they only like enforcing limits when they can do it objectively, but they haven't returned since then.
@@Aspen_Gold They run within the enforced track limits. In the Xfinity race literally a day before, there were large penalties handed out for cutting ENFORCED track limits. And that race also showed why letting drivers into the runoff produces great battles.

@@positivethoughtlibrary SVG has given NASCAR a flicker of hope. That guy brought racing back to the NASCAR circuit. He has a great attitude, he's a great driver and he's pulling off great performances. Looks like racing might be fun again, gentlemen!!!
Nascar needs to tell these “drivers” to stay ON the track. I don’t understand why they’re allowed to use any paved surface of the track’s property. There’s a difference between run off areas and the racing surface.
@@myth9240watched a lot of GT races.... IMSA, WEC, Bathurst 12 Hours, 12 Hours of Spa, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, Intercontinental GT Challenge, Super GT and others.... They respect track limits. They don't carve themselves a new track.
The drivers use all of the track that the series allows. Nascar only defines the limits through the esses, so the drivers go wide on exit if that's the fastest way around a corner. The same thing was said about Indycar when they came in 2019, and as a result the series said when they returned they'd use electronic timing lines on the exit of Turn 19 to enforce the limits, since they don't like to make subjective calls. But the series hasn't been back since.
Some strange rules that apply to these races for us newcomers... I have a question, why the f#@k doesnt NASCAR give live timing and position changes to viewers? You literally have to wait until the end of the lap to see where each car is at.. Ya'll realise its 2024 yeah...? Is NASCAR caught in a time warp ?
Takes a bit of getting used to seeing cars cutting corners or going wide with all four tires off the track. is that normal??? Sorry new to Nascar just wanted to see how SVG went. But why have a track when cars can hold higher speeds going way off the track??? A bit strange to me.

Instead of driving to the limits of the track@@UNHchaboLike Chicago no choice but follow the track and keeping it off the walls. Just me mate, Like they say as long as the rules are the same for everyone so beit. I reckon.
Listen, I know we all hate track limits penalties and all that guff, but I really don't think having zero track limits at all and just letting drivers invent their own layouts is a valid solution either. Surely there has to be some kind of middle ground? Races at Watkins Glen are an absolute joke now, everyone just ignores Turn 1 and runs right out to the barrier, using the entire runoff area (which is supposed to be there for safety?) as the racing line instead. It wasn't as bad here believe it or not, but still, seeing some of the most elite drivers in racing just cutting corners and ignoring the track layout altogether just looks so amateur. Its like a Forza open lobby with all penalties turned off 😅 Surely there has to be a happy medium right? Like okay, no five-second penalties for touching a single white line or whatever, but maybe like, a warning if you put all four wheels completely off the racing surface altogether? And then a penalty if you keep doing it blatantly? Thats how most sensible series do it, and I know Supercars has a three-strikes system for kerb-hopping/corner-cutting at certain tracks. Like you can get away with it once or twice, especially if its in avoidance or you've been forced wide, but you get pinged if you keep pushing your luck. Because ultimately, racers will do whatever they can get away with to go faster, and if there's no rules against shortcutting corners or inventing your own layout, they'll do just that. Then again, they've somehow managed to make this happen on an oval too - Phoenix is an absolute shambles these days 🤣
Indycar said when they returned they'd use electronic timing lines on the exit of Turn 19 to enforce the limits, since they don't like to make subjective calls. But the series hasn't been back since. But Indycar has used timing lines to enforce the exit of the Indy Road Course chicane, and the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. Not sure why Nascar hasn't decided to do that themselves.
Byron has been the first driver to win multiple races every season of the NextGen era, first driver to do it 3 straight years since peak Jeff Gordon
And Elliot and Larson are supposed to be 1a and 1b at Hendrick…
Next Jeff Gordon #24 🇺🇸🇮🇩🦅🏁
Byron doing a good job of continuing the 24 legacy.
@@toyotaecwLarson is a better driver then all! Byron good at low horsepower and Larson awesome at big horsepower this is why

At least it wasn't Hamlin, Logano or Keselowski.
@@Chuck59ish I agree .I never like them
Always always always have good racing for the lead on road circuits in nascar
Another good run for Bill Byron
Before the next road course race NASCAR should give the drivers coloring in books so they can practice staying between the lines.
I also thought it looked extremely sloppy to cut corners and run wide like they did in this race.
This is way better than people yammering on about track limits and drivers ratting on each other like F1
This is very similar to how gt cars race
@@myth9240it absolutely isn’t. Only this kind of idiocy is allowed in nascar.

The BEST part is when Byron parked the nose right on the Toyota sign and did a burnout.
Willy B and his entire team is top class. His pit crew's gotta be #1.

Congrats
Yep, they are stupid to us long time fans too. NAPCAR has traded one kind of boring for another.
i already hated it since they first added those
What are those lines that they are taking? Is the grip or downforce that low because f1 and indy doesn't do that?
These are naturally aspirated V8 with zero downforce, and a manual sequential.
It's a 650 hp Brick

6:00 That's why we call you Wrecky Spinhouse
1:57 since when cut corners is aloud??
See nothing,hear nothing,speak nothing 😂😂😂
It's crazy how much people complain and yet don't listen or read the rules 😂
Every corner can be cut except for 4,5,6 in the esses
Allowed and yeah it looks so weird and wrong
I think Dinger is happy.
Goddammit I love this track. Watched xfinity out here too. Can't wait for WEC!!
At the same time? F1 would lap the field by lap 6
Way to go Willy! 24 forever!
Kobayashi getting bullied by these angry Mericans makes him look like an amateur racer.
I watched it in real life
Ok
It was cool
I know ho won
How does Wrecky Spinhouse still have a seat?
I know right! Probably making peanuts contract I would guess
He did this to koboyashi last time he raced...
Because he's a Daytona 500 winner(!)

No track limits I guess?
