5:54 Power Rankings after Loudon
source
The 12 has been consistently one of the best cars every week the last 5 weeks, not his fault he gets wrecked out by others (should have two wins). Deserves to be higher
really Homestead miami is a great race, WAY better championship finale than Phoenix
Flat tracks are ass
Freddie Kraft on DBC said that NBC wanted the St.Louis market to have a playoff race. SMI wanted the same number of playoff races as last year, so when Atlanta moved to July, New Hampshire and Texas were the only viable options to replace it.
So is NHMS going to have 2 dates per year, regular season race and a playoff race, or JUST a playoff race? Ill be so excited if its both, I can see my race twice near home!!!!
Only thing I disagree with here is not having Elliott somewhere in the top 10 for power rankings, tied for the points lead, has a win, 7 top 5’s and his lowest finish this year is 19th with an average finish of 9.6 which beats the next highest average finish by 2.7 positions
I swear NASCAR just does the opposite of what we say so in that case I hope Phoenix stays the championship race forever such a wonderful fun track
Darlington a great move, New Hampshire not so much.
Maybe now that Homestead is not there, it is a ploy to make people miss it and encourage attendance when it comes back
IT'S TIME TO SHAKE…. AND BAKE!
Word on the street is Ryan Preece very unhappy with his crew and car and words were exchanged
There may be wholesale changes in the coming weeks due to infighting and a toxic environment 😮
I would love to see Nascar race at somewhere like Brands Hatch in England.
New Hampshire? JGR, and Chris Bell just got a woody.
HOMESTEAD SUCKS SHUT UP, DON'T NEED IT BACK AS CHAMPIONSHIP TRACK. BORING RACING
New Hampshire is so boring why put it in
2 superspeedways is not too much, it's NASCAR foundation
It's funny how I've been lukewarm on the idea of Atlanta in the playoffs this year, yet my reason why completely changed after the spring race.
Before the race: "Eh, I don't know if two superspeedway races in the playoffs is such a great idea."
After the race: "Oh god, we have to wait seven months for the next race here? I can't wait that long to see more of this phenomenal racing!"
keselowski and truex over blaney ant right
New Hampshire in playoffs sucks ass
The moving of Gateway was to be expected, as IndyCar will race at the track in June next year. That's why NASCAR is moving its races to the fall.
What's the awesome power ranking music?
I thank Josh berry should be in your top 10
I personally loved the championship weekend at Homestead. As for road courses in the playoffs, leave Watkins Glenn in the playoffs and get rid of the roval in general.
Kansas should be the Finale
they should have waited to see the turnout at the glen this year; im willing to bet it sets all time record for attendance; imsa was packed this weekend
As a Kyle Busch fan we excited, but not for the playoffs
I personally hate these moves.
All 3 of them
If Gateway can backup the experience they had this summer but in a St. Louis Fall which can be a coin flip between Hot, cold, or misty. It might be a great time and experience in the playoffs. Although I can’t confirm this because I’ve yet to visit another track yet
I hate nascar after this why would they removing homestead
I don’t understand how you put Bell ahead of Hamlin and Elliott.
Elliott tied on points and yes Hamlin had a rough few weeks, he is still better than bell in my opinion.
I’ve always really liked Miami being the final race.
Though the big news was NASCAR getting rid of the playoffs
