Good day Willi!
I perceive that change is inevitable, and I’ve seen an unbelievable quantity of change over the previous 47 years at NASCAR and at Daytona Worldwide Speedway. However when does the necessity to usher in somewhat more money grow to be so nice that what you do personally is erased?
And I do not need to hear from the brand new fan base. Do you manage to pay for to maneuver the race elsewhere and toss away your roots and the individuals who helped plant them?
Why aren’t you doing a brand new race on the new venue? It is unhealthy sufficient that they tied the race themselves, however wow, what’s subsequent?
Ormond Mike
Hello Mike!
What’s subsequent? Don’t ask!
On the plus facet, there may be truly nothing left to take away. At this time’s Speedweeks The Most Wonderful The Days of Fame are faraway from the fundamentals and stay the primary six months of the season for all three main NASCAR collection and their ARCA traits.

The January check modified to the start of February, a great distance from the day when the Rolex 24 and Daytona 500 sat on the large truck within the fulminating noise of two weeks. Issues are altering, in fact, however this newest change hasn’t been very nicely obtained by folks because it robbed the 42-year-old basic in February.
With out a lot effort, this week’s column was taken over by these followers.
HOWDY, WILLIE!
How can NASCAR executives flip somebody who has really cherished inventory automotive racing for many years into somebody who hates it? Ask NASCAR, not me.
How does NASCAR cease folks like me? A Wyoming man in all places who drives 100 miles simply to get to the airport on a frozen winter street to catch a really costly airplane to Florida and rather a lot to get a seat in the beginning / end line The person who Spends his cash in Daytona and spends greater than 10 years elsewhere in our journey.
How does NASCAR remove traditions like Conflict?
And have you ever determined to drive at 80 km / h within the stadium? Is it referred to as race?
Hmmm, I am sorry, however I could not discover the DIS or NASCAR web location the place I used to be truly listening to the followers so I needed to take a breath someplace.

Good day Steve!
Unsure if NASCAR and Fox Sports activities fits are contemplating shedding Mountain West’s fan base in the event that they transfer Conflict, however they may go there.
Did you say fox? Sure, fox. The extra I listened and browse, the extra I believe Fox was the motivation right here. NBC will host the Winter Olympics and the Tremendous Bowl subsequent February. What if Fox might seize consideration alongside the best way and use it to advertise the following Daytona 500 on a grand scale?
Why not? Due to its lingering anger, it comes from a long-time fan base that has been hit by many our bodies, however like Jake LaMotta, is hanging on a rope and refusing to fall and quit. Thus far some have mentioned.
That does not imply Fox (and NASCAR’s different community “companions” NBC) will fireplace each shot, however fairly discuss contract numbers with three commas and a number of numbers on the left. Whether it is you, nod and take it.
Good day Willi!
Thanks for telling the reality for NASCAR followers. This may scale back the influence of Daytona Pace Week.
There are too many adjustments and occasions off the wall. There are too many avenue races. If you wish to see them I need to go to extra IndyCar occasions!

Good day Ray!
Nicely, on the plus facet for Ray, this transfer removes the street race because the accident moved there final yr. Then again, it was an fascinating present, as was the race on the Daytona Highway Course two weeks later. By the way, it changed the race that was canceled in California.
Good day Willi!
Do you need to transfer the crash to LA? Good thought!
Squatters from all around the United States have come right here for too lengthy to spend per week clogging lodges and eating places, queuing lengthy traces in entrance of each retailer, browsing the online, washing their toes, and renting beer. In our deserted rest room, we empty our wallets throughout city and take pleasure in our free sunshine.
I inform LA to have it. You might be asphalt ache!

Good day tommy!
What did I inform you in regards to the irony that is still within the arms of skilled professionals?
Good day Willi!
The racing crew has to like this modification. Journey to California for non-point racing simply weeks earlier than the Daytona 500, one of the crucial prestigious races of the yr.
That actually is smart.
RON
Good day ron!
I believe the Rank and File crew is okay with something that takes them out of the shop from morning to nighttime pre-season prep. Hours within the air are hours the mechanic can chill out with the most recent version of Automobile and Driver.
Plus, engineers can work from anyplace so that they all the time work whereas touring. Headphones and laptops will show you how to keep away from socializing with civilians within the heart seat.
Good day Willi!
Is the NBA placing the All-Star recreation on the ice on the Tampa Bay Lightning Area? Alternatively, the NFL could host a Professional Bowl on Turns 1 and a pair of of Talladega. Or is MLB internet hosting an all-star recreation on the Orlando Area?
I’ve heard that some quick circuits, like Winston Salem’s Bowman Grey, run lighter, smaller, fully totally different racing vehicles on 1/4 mile tracks of the identical kind. Placing a top-notch NASCAR racing automotive on high of such a truck is only a gimmick for terrifying exhibits and motorsport.
I believe the Crash crowd at Daytona has decreased and sponsors and TV networks have requested for extra, however this can be a slap within the face of a loyal racing fan who nonetheless exists.
Fred
Good day fred!
Glad somebody introduced up the mechanical logistics of putting in a 1/4 mile momentary tarmac truck on the LA Memorial Coliseum.
I’ve seen racing issues, a few instances alone this season. So this case is definitely inflicting the engineers a headache. At greatest.
within the worst case? Please do not ask.
However I am certain it is all taken under consideration, proper?
