2010 season 36 points races - 13 different drivers won 1975 season 30 points races - 8 different drivers (Petty had a good year with 10 wins but still had 7 other drivers with wins) If you go out of the modern era the number of races goes way up and so does the number of winners. 1964 had 64 races and 18 different winners. Some of the races had very few cars that year and it was marked with tragedy. Long story short not much has changed since about 1958. There was some very wild stats prior to the 58 season. There were many races that had more than 43 cars NOT finish the race. :23: |

Some say the racing died with the restrictor plate but I say it really died with Earnhardt. I was not a #3 fan (I didn't "hate" him but as the lone Ford guy in my group of buddies I couldn't root for him either!) but I really think he'd be kicking Brian France's butt literally and figuratively for all the retarded changes they've made to the sport. I watched a total of 3 races this year--the two Daytonas and Homestead--which are the least # of races I've seen in probably 15 years. That COT has made the sport absolutely boring! |

There was a big article about this somewhere on the web a few years back. I'll have to try to find it again. It showed comparisons from then and now and how much harder it is nowdays to be successful in NASCAR. |
Re: NASCAR thread
Curious what is the furthest back someone was at the beggining of the chase and ended up winning the chase?
If my mind has not completely left me, the winner of the chase has never started the chase out of the top 5. |

To say that current era drivers like JJ are somehow better than lets say Joe Weatherly is total BS. Weatherly won a championship while driving part time for several different teams in the same year. He also came from motorcycle racing, he was AMA #1 and an extraordinary rider. Had he not died while champion I think he would have been much more prominent in the record books. While I agree with many of the points about how tough it is to win a race today, the drivers are no longer "bigger than life". Little Joe, Jr Johnson, the Petty clan, and so many others had character; today when have only a few. We will never see guys like the Flock brothers (and sister) on the race track again and that's our lose. |

Only 87 more days till the 2011 Daytona 500 (2/20/2011) and......the drive for six!

Re: NASCAR thread
well I guess we can all start making predictions for next year...
I am really hoping its a dominating year for ford...namely Carl Edwards! David Ragan was really starting to get better hopefully he can start the year with a win as well. As much as I dont wanna see JJ win another one (I dont hate him or dislike him just want to see other talent win) Its a very real possibility. |
Re: NASCAR thread
I think some rule changes could really shake things up next year. Perhaps
No team rules No pit crew swaps No top 35 lock in BS No freaking chase Ditch the owner championships in all divisions Limit teams to 2 cars MAX and give special perks to single car operators Have at least 2 races on dirt each season If the chase must stay use different tracks, but I really hate the chase format. |
Re: NASCAR thread
Ban any brand that is not American.

Re: NASCAR thread
Ford and GM are the only American car companies. Chrysler is owned by Fiat. I guess they could run Mercury, Lincoln, Buick, or Cadillac.

If you're fast enough for the 'show', you're in! The slowest cars go home! And I think that the last race of the year should be at a road course ...pick one...Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca...whatever! And no more Sprint Cup guys racin' in the Nationwide Series ...leave that series to the guys & gals that want to learn & move up...Trucks, okay |
