This is Steve Kinzer and Mike from Indiana. Yeah I still watch nice NASCAR. It’s the greatest sleep aid there is.

That graph is a very accurate representation of my Sunday sleeping patterns.

I still watch NASCAR - since the 80’s. Not ashamed to admit it.

I started (and still am) a huge NASCAR fan. Then over time have transitioned into being a big dirt fan. I guess maybe I just like multiple forms of motorsports like I do sports. Fun stuff. Great Daily, Justin!

If it racing I usually watch it I have even watched lawn mowers race not a drag racing fan but if it comes on after nascar I'll watch 😊 great show as usual

Ok, so here's my take on the NASCAR thing. I'm a guilty party here and I'll admit it. I told someone just yesterday at church that I don't really watch NASCAR anymore. The reality of it is that if I'm home & nothing else is going on, I'm going to watch the race. What I really mean when I say I don't watch NASCAR anymore is that for a big majority of my life, my world revolved around it. I planned my weekends around being able to watch the Cup race and the Busch series too if I could. Since about 2017 I just don't follow it as much. I don't know all of the drivers anymore & I usually don't even know what track they are at from week to week or what time the race is. I don't have an issue with NASCAR, and like I said, if the race is on, I'll turn it on and watch it. It's just not the same situation for me as it was say 10 years ago or more. It's easier to just say I don't watch anymore. For sure though, if NASCAR is up against WoO, HL, or even Knoxville, I'm watching sprint cars instead. That wasn't an option 10 years ago and beyond.

Sorry I wasn't watching Nascar i was bilding a ramp on to my porch for my wife's scooter so she can get out of the house but she watches Nascar she is a truex fan !! Love your show Justin god bless

To me, racing is racing. I do enjoy dirt racing live over pavement racing, but I watch it all. It was my desire to watch ARCA racing that really turned me on to the dirt fan.

Great show JF. Best concise Dirt news hands down. Although I've spent a small fortune on midget, sprint & dirt LMs, however my first love is 2 wheel racing. MX, Speedway, Rd-course where "elbows out" actually hits elbows together.

We are all race fans. Whatever our preference, we all like having racing on tv. Sundays happen to be NASCARs day. So it’s on. Weather I like the product or agree with the sanctioning body on the direction of their series, it fills my Sundays.

I know i haven't watched nascar in 2 years. Its not that i don't like it but retirement is a month away and been workin ot for more race adventures this yr. Really pumped for B- shep running the outlaws in jacksonville! Will make the drive so hope weather is good. Dirt templates will keep playing field level. Show is still great enjoy when i can.

I’m not watching NASCAR. I promise. However, I must admit, I do LOVE INDYCAR, and I was watching Long Beach. But I NEVER miss an episode of DIRTRACKR! Thanks Justin. Great show!

Fixing the bodies is easy. Trim the spoiler and make the sides symmetrical and deck flat again. It would unstick the cars and make it more of a drivers game than setup. We had those rules in place once before, and they were not enforced which led us to where we are today. I dont think we need to complicate things for the few local guys that still run handmade bodies. This will just add more pages to the already stupidly thick rule book in the long run.

I myself watched my NY Rangers beat up on the Capitals and that finished right around the same time the race ended , LGR !

I saw some videos of talladega but it was of the stripper show at the campground not the race!

Not me. I used to work in Nascar myself and don't watch it at all anymore.

@7:22 Couldn't agree more! All forms of motorsports are great from sport compacts to F1.

Love your analysis of NASCAR viewership vs Daily Show hits. In God we trust, all others bring data! Long Beach was a great watch

I wasnt watching anything, i was sitting at a dirt track.

As I wrote on your face book post, I watch the last 1/2 hour to hour of a NASCAR race if nothing else is on. Also how many laps are left. Right now it's golf majors, NBA playoffs, Indy Car. If I remember and don't fall a sleep. Lol

Now that I am 62 years ( been going to races from age 5. ). Cars should put to rear if they bring out yellow or red . Some times it's just racing maybe put both back ? This always hard to do but someone is responsible .

I watch KZfaq NASBOR Highlights-- saves time watching paint dry

church stuff got done going on at that time, i see this influx at my job every sunday. sunday meals families going back home...etc

hell yea I still watch nascar. goin to pocono in July. Go Blaney!

It amazes me that sanctioning bodies try to control cost so much and yet things only still continue to get more expensive while trying to be controlled. Almost like it doesn’t work

With sprint cars and having raced them the best racing is on dry slick tracks were it takes driving abilities and throttle control.. if the track is tacky and alot of grip there tends to be know passing hammer down hold ur line

I'll be at Hagerstown this Saturday

I watched zero NASCAR on Sunday… I was too busy watching Livestreams on Facebook. 🤯

You know Justin I enjoy dirt racing primarily. I do take other types of motorsports.Race fans should be glad that there are speed ways out there .Take a friend with you especially one that's never been to a race.They might enjoy it.Who knows one day there might not be any loud forms of motorsports.

If one team was dominating then maybe look at it. But teams are supposed to look for advantages don't take that away. This is not Nascar and I that dirt fans don't want it to be myself for one.

And when they finish equalizing the SLM bodys, cubic inch limits will be next...

😂😂😂. That’s hilarious! I don’t watch NASCAR but those analytics give it all up, don’t they? I probably would watch once in a while if I didn’t work most weekends.

Alright I watch nascar, but the whole time I'm sitting there begging for a better short track car and a lot more intermediates and short tracks

i have no idea when the nascar race was on .let alone got over. I did watch Utica Rome

I’m going buy a new Kubota today just so I can use the app!

Build a box and you have to drive through it to get on the track. If your car fits, you’re good. if you crash into any part of the box, you’re not good.

I watched IndyCar, IMSA, as much of the WEC race as MotorTrend aired & highlights of F1 in addition to the Silver Crown race & several sprint races (HL, WoW, IRA, ASCS)... for a while I watched the NASCAR road course races, but gave up on that after there were no driving standards penalties levied for the finish of the truck race at CTMP in 2016... how professional is a racing series? how strictly do they enforce driving standards?

All honesty, have not watched Nascar since Dodge left. If I do leave, it is NY Rangers are going for the Stanley Cup!

I watched NASCAR yesterday that was the first time in ages, The racing is so bad now,They need more horsepower!

I didn't even know where NASCAR was racing yesterday except that they said Larson was at Talladega due to the NASCAR race.

*_sigh_* Dirt late models aren't exactly showroom stock cars either and haven't been for many decades. This sudden need to control things feels like it happened at a completely arbitrary point in time, to me. Suddenly, everyone's started panicking for basically no reason, especially considering that even the most radically skewed cars in dirt late model racing aren't exactly sea urchins with wings sticking out everywhere like the pre-2022 F1 cars were. It's stuff like *that* which REALLY causes colossal amounts of turbulent wake, versus the large and relatively clean surfaces of about every dirt late model picture I've ever seen. Putting aside the usually vague meaning of "the racing getting worse/better", what effect has there really been apart from the usual anyway? All this really serves to do is freeze the evolution of what are, again, already highly specialized machines, and slowing or freezing the evolution of the cars _always_ makes motorsport less interesting.....especially so when the design aspects impacted are visual. TL;DR: This feels like a non-issue to me. As someone who watched Formula One intently from 2017 to 2022 and still follows MotoGP pretty closely, the appeal of the latter series is that you can often visually spot the changes in the machines, even from race to race! F1, meanwhile, deals in detail changes so small one often struggles to see their significance. Oh yeah, and then there's that Dan Binks line about sprint car and midget racing: _"But the coolest racing ever - still, they haven’t ruined it yet - is Sprint Cars and Midgets. I love it. There’s basically no rules. The car has to weigh this much and the tire has to be in this place. _*_I came from GTLM where you can’t even drill a hole in the car because it’s not on the FIA paperwork, you know? That’s not racing to me anymore._* “There’s no limits here. Whatever you can dream up, you can do. I don’t have millions of dollars. I spent all of my own money. I tell people that I spent my pontoon boat money on my Midget engine.” I'd rather dirt late models be more like sprints, midgets, and MotoGP than be more like NASCAR and F1. Maybe that's just me.

The racing has been suffering immensely from aero for nearly 10 years. This isn't a new problem, but one that continues to get worse. Non enforcement of convex roofs, tilted roofs, nose splitters, and ever reducing the frontal height of the nose are all big contributions to the synthesis of the issue. But sure, bring a laser template to check if the body is 7 degrees askew instead of 5. Play in the weeds, make compliance more complicated, when the issue is obvious.

Not a fair comparison yesterday was Talladega not just another Napcar race

I don’t watch nascar anymore. Maybe a sneak peak every once in a while but that’s it. Like last year’s race at the end when I didn’t even know Ryan Blaney had a chance to win the championship which he did.

Remember pay attn to your own, don't rely on a company to do it for you FTG and big brother

Lots of toxic people calling themselves racing fans

nascar blocking and crashing

Real racers watch any kind of Motorsports real Racers love it all

I think prolly yesterday was a Talladega thing

I like road course others can win. The best car doesn't always beat better driver 9 Hendricks car and driver. Best bet , 😮😊😊😊😊😊❤

How do we change the rules so we have more exciting racing.

I believe dirt latemodels should not look all twisted up. Can't they at least have the body going straight.

Leave the bodies alone and let teams innovate. Part of the appeal of a late model is the craziness of the bodies. We don’t need next gen late models. (Edit- as I wrote this you acknowledged people will make nascar remarks lmao)

I find myself watching even though I have said I am done so there is some truth to what you say.. That 25 cars body is bizarre but I have thought they were Goofy ever since they got that yaw in the bodies.

What is Nascar?

I think the body should be straight and get rid of the rear steer.

Keep the dirt coming. I will pass on nascar. We need more non wing sprint car stories.

I only watch Nascar to see how SVG is doing

No nascar still love the show though

I was watching indycar.....

😂☠️shots fired (for real you couldn’t pay me to watch NASCAR since Jeff Gordon and dale jr retired it hasn’t been the same but my dad says since the stage been active it’s been better to watch for racing wise

I for one am happy about the template. I use to love the look of Dirt Late Models until they started skewing the body’s. Now they just look plain strange and dare I say ugly.

I promise you that I do NOT watch NASCAR. I am a dirt fan

Oh snap, dirt vs asphalt lol

I keep up with NASCAR, but if I have to choose I’ll watch a crate late model race over NASCAR any day. If the Hurricanes are playing in the playoffs I’m watching that. Go Canes!!!!! PS : The Rangers suck!😂

My opinion is that dirt super lates bodies are too “out there”!

Why don’t you talk about Brad sweet punting James McFadden out of the ballpark not ballpark hotdogs

Sorry. No asphalt racing on my tv or phone. Dirt is for racing, the paved stuff is just how you get there

I hate-watch NASCAR sometimes. 😀 It's like watching those "catty sleazy housewives" shows and realizing, "Glad I'm not in the middle of that."

Maybe I’m weird, but I’m all for the latemodels getting all twisted up and wonky looking. That sort of crazy innovation is one of the things I like most about dirt racing. It’s sucks that it’s expensive and I get that. Just cool to see other people’s ideas come to life and what they think is the best way to get around a circle quickly

Have not watched a Nascrap race in years. I watch highlights the following day. Don't like "Stage Racing" ,"Lucky Dog" and the rest of that crap

It was a big topic among fans and extremely less competent regnal teams or underclassman . Most whom don’t know what they’re discussing or have irrelevant opinions. AERO is the CHEAPEST area for teams to find an advantage or compete with the major players. CFD simulation is actually FREE. It’s not 1995 you don’t need a wind tunnel! Even if you do, you can make one in your own shop for under 500. Series have continued to screw up with aero and trying to fix dirty air. The wickerbill was a primary example of this incompetence and backwards thinking. We have to STOP claiming rules are necessary and are intended to reduce cost as they have traditionally and consistently proven to have an opposite effect. You cannot name a single cost savings measure that has actually saved racers money and not driven up costs! This is true for even the modified classes. This also speaks to the deranged an false narrative that our sport and modern cars are soooo technologically advanced. We constantly add rules to prevent any and all innovation. This sport has been paralyzed by overreach. This has created poor racing as its reduced variables on the track (just like cup). What we have learned from nascar is that clone racing makes for bad racing especially on the short track. This is a notion that even the most diehard nascar fans and driver would agree with as its a constant topic of discussion! The last thing we need is fans opinions about rules. I dont want a Hunt the front stan impacting the design process of my builds. Teams themselves have consistently supported ideology and rules that have consistently degraded the sport and driven up costs. We’ve been on a dangerous trajectory with rules and over reach along with this antiquated sense of nostalgia that often drives these rules. Sanctifications can’t continue to cut/copy and paste rules without any rational thought and evaluating it’s true effects on competition and costs. It’s time boomers and people of a certain age are removed from their positions. I don’t need a technological fearing dinosaur born before the Vietnam war deciding the limits of sports evolution. Nor do I need a man with a high school diploma as his highest level of education who graduated in a tiny rural town, graduating mid class deciding our sports technical limits. A body can be built and hung in any shop for free. It’s the most basic part of car construction that any competent racer can do. Testing and research is FREE and can be conducted through on track throughout the season. It only requires a very primitive comprehension of aero dynamics. Information is readily available and FREE. Cad is available for FREE. CFD software is FREELY available and accessible! You can get a person of fiver or upwork to model your car for almost nothing and also run simulation/analysis! The gains are cheaper and easier then hydraulics and shocks. People treat technology and advances like its 1682 in Salem Massachusetts.

Yeahhhhhh, i flat out refuse to watch the snoozefest of nascar. There will be almost nothing that will get me to watch it again.

I don't like the weird cattywampus look of the alleged late model dirt cars. They are just too kooky for my tastes. I don't like they tilt when actually racing. Therefore I don't watch them. I use to watch them when Colorado National was a dirt track. They weren't so weird back then.

Leave the late models alone and I watch all kinds of racing

Make them look like a car again. These represent nothing to a real car. Let's see them bodies great again

Do not watch NASCAR. Busy with God, church and family on Sundays.

The only time I give Nascar my view is for Daytona or Talladega. Yesterday I watched the last 35 laps. Those few times a year and Live PD is the only time I ever watch tv. Yesterday an old lady from Facebook needed her washer & dryer moved so I went over and did it for her... so I couldn't have watched even if I would have wanted to.

This is not nascar. Leave the boys alone!! And I haven't watched nascar since Bubba did the knot thing.

I DEFINITELY DO NOT WATCH NASCRAP!

I don’t like when all the cars look alike. It’s bad for racing. But then I’m not a fan of crazy looking car bodies. Both are not good. But cookie cutter cars are far worse.

they trying to turn this sport into nascar wih nore rules and less freedoms and no i cannot stand watching nascar and have boycotted nascar since they changed the points and made a show out of it dirt rules nascar drools

I don’t watch nascar.

I cant stand late model cars the way they look. I refuse to watch the races. The cars just look stupid.

Are we sure the twisted bodies need fixing? The more NASCAR fixed it the worse the racing became.

I have no problem with NASCAR just hate the road racin and the really dumb street race, but NASCAR oval racing no problem there, just wish they did not use a spec. car, the racing use to be much better, i seem to enjoy the Xfinity series more than the Cup series these days

Here ya go, Justin. This covers it all so you can delete the rest. Napcar Templates suck. Just like Nascar. We dont watch it. We are busted. Love the show. I forgot...we love Kabota.

Shit i DO NOT watch #NASCAR anymore. Don't like the new cars or anything about it anymore.

I think Nascar. Sucks I definitely don't ever watch it I do like Indy car but I gave up my good seats at the brick yard years ago when I struggled to get face value after hurrying back from Eldora and gave up my spring Michigan tickets that I got from my dad who had been getting them for many years Nascar is not worth my time and I havenot watched a race for over 20 years lol

Honestly, have nothing against NASCAR, watched for many years but when they changed the point system in the early 2000's I simply stopped watching. I've seen headlines, maybe watched a few highlights like the wall ride but have never tuned into a race since the points change. I only watch dirt racing now and mainly stick with sprint cars and midgets.
