Horsepower. Horsepower. Horsepower.
Tires with side walls, remove all the junk underneath the cars,bring back solid rear axle but keep all safety stuff. No big deal to go back to something that was working.
Thats litterally an entire redesign of the car
Also quit sharing smt data between everyone.
@@tstuff1213 It needs an entire redesign, it's merely a de-powered or neutered IMSA racing car.
@@tstuff1213 Give a team 2 weeks. Have a 9" Ford diff and regular steering box in it. Be faster, more durable and more adjustable too. Go back to say 16" steel wheels with inner liners. 5 lug nuts like stock cars were intended. I hate this thing with a passion. Been watching since early 70's.
Give these cars more horsepower and the passing and racing competition will improve.
@@tennesseesmoky9012 Greatest Stock Car Racing series in the world and yet the lowest HP of all the Top Racing Series in the world....i.e.; Indycar, F1 and IMSA LMP 1&2 and Trans Am.
Everyone will have same thing. How will that help?
@@gailtaylor1636 No you do away with the stupid chassis dyno that Nascrap uses to make all Ford, Chevy and Toyota motors are with a couple HP of each other. You have like Nascar of the mid-2000s their set of engine rules/parameters and whatever HP the engine builder can squeeze out of the engine within the rules is fair. If I can squeeze 10 more horsepower than you can, then I did better tuning and development within the rules. Yes the high dollar teams will have an advantage over the back marker low budget teams, but even with the rules now, the high dollar teams will always rise to the top. That's just the way an open competition works. Nascar went woke with their rules, wanting everyone with essentially identical chassis, parts overall same bodies aside from the nose/rear bumper fascia, almost same HP, same gear ratios, shocks...essentially a Nascar produced and sold by Nascar kit car. They've ruled the series to death and are trying to make it IROC, well IROC sucked and the cars were too even, making passing really hard. Almost identical handling, horsepower and aero makes for boring racing.....IROC went bye-bye because it sucked. The old ASA late model series went away because they tried the exact same thing with their late models.....One sourced GM spec crate engine regardless of manufacturer and almost identical bodies. True racing fans knew a driver in a Ford T-Bird decaled body was powered by a Chevy spec crate motor. Fans didn't like it, crowds dwindled and that National late model touring series DIED.
When Nascrap decided to make the truck series ALL use identical Illmore built GM spec engines, I lost almost all interest in the series and barely watch it anymore. I'm a Ford fan and without a Ford powerplant in the chassis, then all the Ford decals and a f-150 nose means nothing as the engine was and just like in Cup/Xfinity the only thing that really made it a Ford, Chevy or Toyota. If and when ( I fully expect Nascrap to eventually go to a single sourced spec engine for both series) they go a single sourced GM spec engine, then I'll be totally done with Nascrap. I'm nearly there now.
I've been a fan for nearly 60 years and myself drove a late model during the 1980s am just about done with Nascar's nonsense and sport killing rules and race manipulation of stage/staged racing, traction additive on racing surface, phantom cautions, cautions for a simple spin that requires no wrecker or track cleanup that last 5-7 laps robbing fans of more green flag racing and then the coup de ta.......the playoffs, they suck. And finally, I hate their new qualifying sessions of A and B. There are some in say group A that didn't make the top 5 but qualified 6th could have someone in group B that had a slower time but will still start ahead of that guy in group A, that's horsecrap....go back to qualifying the way it's been for 75 years, none of this group A and B crap. More Nascrap stupidity.
Horsepower won’t solve everything there’s more to it than that
@@alanjohnson911. And more wrecks. I wonder if NASCAR ever thought about limiting/cutting back the number of charters. Maybe less cars on the tracks would lead to better passing opportunities?!! Just a thought. NASCAR allows up to 40 cars on a track at any given race. That’s a lot of cars on a 1/2 mile track.
They will never admit this car is a failure until years later. I'd much rather watch the xfinity cars than cup cars. We all want rocket powered cars on bicycle wheels! Make them too powerful to hammer down without losing traction! Save your tires and run good laps, you'll be there at the end. Drivers do not matter near as much these days because of the car.
Totally with you, xfinity cars are producing a far more entertaining racing product than Cup.
Totally agree. I don't watch cup anymore. I watch trucks and Xfinity
@@tnwhiskey68 The Cup cars sound terrible now, I hate the exhaust out both sides, the Xfinity cars and trucks sound the way a stock car should sound like. They always sound better with longer exhaust tubes exiting on one side, these are low horsepower IMSA cars....example Hendrick/Nascar IMSA car that ran at LeMans. That was merely a slightly modified Cup car with 850 hp
How do they not know what to do when this is something that’s been figured out in the past lol
@@letsssgooo4618 Because it's Nascrap
I think its ridiculous that you have to down shift at a short track nascar needs to go back to higher horsepower and only 4 gears
Have to go back to each team building their own cars. Not NASCAR
I can on point a lot of issues, first issue is the car, second issue they need more HP, third issue is tires grip too good, 4th issue is driving data shared with all teams and drivers which cause a lot of drivers to drive similar now
What I hate is I lost my home track Auto Club Speedway. Which was a pretty good track. To now they want to build a short track instead like WOW
I never been there but I always loved watching that race it's sad that they tore it down to build a short track
If they want to fix this, they have to try more power. Without them doing that, their words are meaningless and worthless.
It's Bristol Baby is NASCAR.. Fix it nascar
Agree with DaleJr💯❣️🥰
Have the teams go to the showroom and by the car they drive on Sundays and let them race the manufacturers model. Let's really see who makes a decent car that can run wide open for the duration
Modern car wouldn't last 20 laps at Bristol. Suspension would fold up. Try again.
What do you plan on attaching the roll cage to? The center console? If you want to watch 'stock' cars off the showroom floor, go hang out on an overpass.
Forget short tracks, I don’t see nascar surviving.
Largest spectator sport in the US believe it or not. It’s not going anywhere.
@@letsssgooo4618at one time. Now, not even close
@@letsssgooo4618what fucking rock are you living under, the last time I remember seeing nascar blow up on social media was the Hail Melon in 2022, It’s in a dire situation right now
So glad I’m not in NASCAR anymore.
Road racing is so much more enjoyable. Not much BS to put up with and all the fun.
MORE HORSEPOWER!!!!!
Go back to a five lug tire with a sidewall and solid rear axle.
Embrace the change. Those days are long gone. Truck arms from the 1960's have no business being in a modern day race car. Period. Yes, I know single lug nuts don't exist yet in production vehicles but solid rear axles are gone too. If you want manufacturer involvement in this sport, you have to compromise and allow them to display the technologies they use in the cars you see in the showrooms.
@jsinclairinthe919 OP is infinitely correct, sorry if that bothers you. Need to bring back the rear end, h patterns, horsepower, and wheels/tires and keep the rest. This will solve most all the issues, most people agree! "Embrace the change" means embracing the downfall of short track racing and potentially nascar! Their current formula is just not working, not matter how optimistic you'd like to be...
@@jsinclairinthe919 Nah
@@BamaMike7187agreed. Honestly, short track racing IS NASCAR, along with super-speedway pack racing. There’s so many racing products out there now, why would I want to watch a series running on cookie cutter intermediate ovals constantly at 80%+ throttle with nothing but choosing a line and sailing by being required to pass?
I don’t think it’s just short tracks, but NASCAR in general loosing what it was about in the first place.
With all respect to the racers, nascar has lost its buzz. But so has Indycar (that I love). Everything has changed. Digital media (UA-cam) will obsolete TV and the TV contract just like it has obsoleted the radio station and the songwriters publishing contract. F1 has become the Taylor Swift of auto racing, but I guarantee it won't last long.
F1 Neoooooooooooooo
100k people at Bristol, it has been years since that many folks showed up. 2022 65 k was there.. Fans want to see it, but they want it to be good.
I'm not sure the number of fans that should up for the 2nd Bristol race this year, but the first race the stands were empty....I don't think half the fans showed up. Check out the video of the 1st Bristol race this year, empty seats everywhere.
@ericbaker2025 yes, 70k people in attendance at Bristol is a little less than half capacity. It has been years since there were 100k. I was jusrlt responding to Dale saying that no9ne showed up. I understand his point, if NASCAR doesn't do something quick, short tracks racing is doomed. He just used a false statement is all that Noone wants to go.
Put them on Hoosiers and call it a day
This sport was founded on oval tracks
Cars tour is better then crapcar I mean nascar !
We need to stop racing on road courses Davey Allison Dale Earnhardt Tim Richmond right now are turning over in their graves
🙄
Benny Parsons is rolling in his grave because of how you and everyone else here been actin'
Went to the night race last year and said we won’t go back. SSSSOOOOOOOO glad we didn’t change our minds.
Not only will watch Nascar anymore in this era because of all the f****** road courses you guys race now
That's 👏 what 👏 NASCAR 👏 wants!
Maybe for short tracks..
They make them wheels skinnier? Less width means they heat up faster .
Get slick..
.
Fans, drivers, crew chiefs: we need horsepower and cars with less grip that are hard to drive
NASCAR: how about an underpowered sports car we got from the pawn shop?
Not only will watch Nascar anymore in this era because of all the f****** road courses you guys race now
Take away the competition cautions..back to racing..and. Boogadee.. boogadee
1100hp and regular points system
They need more HORSEPOWER!!!!!!! Nascar is going to lose the fans if they don't try more HP, screw Honda or whomever manufacturers thinking about entering Nascar say if y'all increase HP on existing engine spec then we aren't interested in coming. Fine, stay in Indycar or whatever other series you're running in.
NASCAR has ruined themselves and they don't have the guts to admit it. They have spent the last 15 to 20 years trying to fix things that weren't broken in the first place. Especially the cars they're running. And tickets are way too expensive and they (NASCAR) won't admit to this either.
Actually, it'd be better to make it a stock car again. Never liked this gen 6 car. 5 on 5 off. One lug nut is not stock😮
Been a nascar fan since I first saw it on wide world of sports and it was great for years. Now the people running it have sucked the joy right out of it, something needs to change. Please wake up Nascar or you will lose it forever!! PS why do we need 15 announcers calling a race, more isn't always better,also get rid of the kiwi pleeease just doesn't sound right
Nascar's ego will never ever let them admit that this new car is the problem. Time to bite the bullet now and go for a new redesign. Sure it's going to cost money, but at what point does losing track dates, fan attendance, and boring racing over come what monetary expenditure it would entail to just start over chassis wise? Better yet, just take the current Xfinity cars and extend the wheel bases slightly and up the HP?
The next gen cars are ass! No getting around it
You can’t tap the wall without breaking a toe link and better yet we just need horsepower and gen 6 back!
Three words, add more power...
Better check with Jordan and Hamlin before any decisions are made 😂😂😂😂
Yeah. They just re- opened North Wilkesboro speedway .
Goodyear..... they are not capable of producing a good tire....
NASCAR is looking like INEX. All the same cars, no room for innovation.
GO BACK TO 60s and 70s RULES.
RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG. KEEP THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
I mean the race at Bristol. I turned it off because nobody could pass and I like Kyle Larson, but it’s a boring race when a person leads almost all the laps.
My God plz get rid of stage racing so we can get back to real racing! Plz!!!
I love Bristol until this car came along now it's a parade....boring 😢
I'm pretty sure this can be resolved with a different tire compound mixed with spray on compound for the track.
Speak for yourself, Dale. I still want more short tracks. If they add one more road race, I might be done! But not the shorts.
Today's cookie cutter cars are bland boring and uniform...racing isn't about just the driver, but the quality of each car built by each team...what's next? Participation trophies?
Where do we get Dale’s Cars Late Model Tour Hat??
I'll tell you how! More people will go back if the damn average ticket price wasn't, for example, $100 per head to go to Martinsville Xfinity race in November! It's ridiculous..
I thought he meant Real short track racing. Like the 3/8 mile dirt track 3 miles from my house. I was worried for a second. NASCAR can do whatever.
If me and my friends bring Lewis Hamilton to the local amusement park to ride the go karts. We are either all going to be the same speed, one person will get the kart with the governor broke off and will win, or Lewis will be faster but not killing us faster. If that same group goes to a legit shifter kart track, Lewis is gonna destroy us and it won’t even be close. These cars suck because they are the amusement park go karts of actual motorsports. They have too much grip when they are hooked up, not enough when they are sliding, and not enough power.
Just wasn't the same, and One car dominated, I fell. Sleep, /
Add another tire manufacturer. Make them use at least one set from each during the race. Bring that competition back...
NASCAR will never admit that this “Next Gen Car” was a big mistake. I blame the mistakes made squarely on Jim Frances shoulders because he was the person who pushed to use/consult with IMSA Road Race Car designers/specialist instead of Stock Car Racing innovators and designers. Additionally blame should be shared with Steve Phelps, Lesa Kennedy, Mike Helton, and Gary Crotty to name a few for not standing up and saying this Next Gen Car is a bad design and is not what a cup car should be and it’s will be bad for the sport. Additionally Dale Jr, Clint Boyer, and the rest of the retired or semi retired NASCAR drivers also deserve a healthy dose grief about this car because they did not have the intestinal fortitude to say this is not what a NASCAR Cup car should be. If NASCAR wants to fix a lot of their problems on the track redesign the chassis to have a solid rear axle, no under car aero, ditch the splitter and bring back the chin spoiler, up the horsepower to 750 to 800 on short tracks, 650 to 700 on road courses and intermediate tracks, and 625 to 675 on supper speedways, up the tire allocation by 4 sets a weekend and bring back practice sessions on Friday and Saturday morning, move race start time up and no Sunday evening or midweek races to start with.
NASCAR is probably rather lucky media desperately needs live content now. If the media landscape was what it was even 10 years ago and definitely 20 the whole series would be in jeopardy. It's unwatchable trash
I hate the fact they demolished Auto Club Speedway to build another short track, somewhere in this nation they should build a track similar to Talladega
Im still in awe on the extra shifting the drivers are doing at the short tracks,specially Martinsville & Bristol. Last 2 years I've enjoyed Xfinity races,and even the Truck races much more than the Cup races.
I don't see nascar surviving if they don't get rid of this crap car.
Bring back 1999 rules and stands will be full
ain't got no problems packing a late model race. 😂🎉
Maybe there WAS a reason teams had different cars for different tracks? Be crazy to think the people that built the cars knew more than some white shirt that never been to a race. Junk the car. Or just let the teams have some control over clips, steering & suspension design. Run what cha brung.
Like everything else they blame the wrong thing , it was sold out, NASCAR all tracks are not full, it's the management lol Larson makes them silly
Most boring race all year. 2 different cars? Saftey at the big tracks and a car you can bump bang and get ridiculous on the short tracks.
The fact that dale jr had confidence in nascar to fix this is he being nice or he’s too ignorant to admit nascar is dying and it’s loosing fans yearly…
Take 1" width from the tires. You've either got to cut back on traction or give em more HP, and the smaller tires sound cheaper than another class of engines. No one will "see" a lost .2 or .3 second due to lost traction. The other option, of course, is to give 'em 800+ hp motors like my local 410's run.
NASCAR fucked up short tracks with the gen 7 car. I also don't really like road courses anymore because the car is too good on them. I liked the Gen 6 car on short tracks and road courses a whole lot better than this current gen
The only thing Nascar seems to want to change is the playoffs and the point system, stages, etc. Nascar is just not fun anymore! There use to be major rivalry back in the days and you don't see that so much today. The cars have less HP, pit road played a HUGE part of the race years back and now 5 lugs down to 1 large one, fail. I also think some of these race teams are just giants, they have the money for better engines etc, which is a massive advantage against newer teams or teams with less money. These teams / cars end up racing in the back of the pack mostly and it's like why? Why even be on the track.
Nascar went down hill
Miss the older days
NASCAR shouldn't rely on the tires to make the racing better, this is a car issue. They tried to make a car that is universal but it doesn't work that way. The point of a race isn't driving in circles, it's being able to move through the field and make passes on the track and in the pits.
I like how the two bristol races were the top and bottom
Lottery car. 😂 larsen pulls from a hat and has to drive the 66 for ware
If you want to save short track and nascar all together get rid of this next gen car this is nascar not f1 go back to car like what is used in Xfinity that is a real stock car i cant stand the next gen car evn the door number placement pisses me off
Just like the early COT, they won’t say this car sucks on everything aside from mile and a half tracks
Me and my brother are looking at what races we want to go to next year and we both said no short tracks. Looking at Kansas pacono dover or indy.
Go back to real cars not go cart racing
Get rid of the P1 they put on track
Kyle Bush is the goat❤
One race that the modern fan doesn't think is entertaining and everyone is saying "The Sky is Falling". Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and stop the knee jerk reactions.
These new cars suck
Get rid of the gen 2 car
Nascar is dead.
