Sometimes I wish they would take Daytona and Talladega off the schedule. These races have become boring and nothing but a demolition derby. Literally anyone can win those races. What? I love Super speedways! Actually going into a Sunday not knowing who's gonna win is exciting. I realize it sucks for points and the "big picture" but Ill take Daytona/Talladega over Las Vegas, Michigan, Kansas, Chicago or Fontana any day of the week. I feel the same way. It’s fun actually seeing the guys race and not knowing who will and knowing any of that field can win. My dad used to go to Vegas race every other year and he stopped because it was too boring. I prefer super speedways anyday

How dare you besmirch the good name of Fontana? This is why we can't be friends.

The season hasn't even begun yet but I've already lost count on how many times Jimmie Johnson and his "quest" for 8 championships has been brought up by commentary.
In the same year of Roman Reigns's coronation as top dog in WWE, I'm predicting this is the year NASCAR finally accomplishes their goal.
Also odd to be watching the Daytona Duels with no threat of somebody getting sent home. Only 40 cars for the 40 starting positions, have seen way more entries in the past for the biggest race of the season.
Edit: Ha ha! FOX had to get that JJ spin machine going early this year...

To take anything away from the Duels, expect a lot of spins and Pied Piper racing for the 500.

I expect a lot of crashes and single file racing on Sunday. With that said, please Lord let Chase win!

As per tradition, the Truck race ended with an 8 car pack heading towards the checkered flag with everyone else wrecked out, too damaged to keep up, or just not quick enough. Good stuff.

Truck race was boring as the guy in second waited to long to try and make a pass. I used to love Daytona when you could pull out and pass the leader. Seems harder now

I thought the truck race was great, will probably be the best race out of the three this weekend.

I really miss tandem racing. I realize you loose the big packs but it was always cool to see 2 cars hooked up and they could pass other cars and get passed too. Now its just everyone in a line until end of segments/race.

THE TAndems were pretty cool. I liked the early 2000s when a car would pull out and people would go and boom they’d pull away leaving a few to go to the back. Then that group came to the front and so forth

Austin Cindric will fit in nicely with the other dumb s on Team Penske’s nascar team.

The tandem racing has provided some of the best racing in years on restrictor plate tracks.Plus it allowed a little breakup of the huge packs.
But it had to be DELETED because NASCAR, the drivers, the announcers, and the large majority of fans didn't like it because... reasons.
