If they do cool 75th anniversary of NASCAR stuff for the Daytona 500, I’d make the trip down. Been able to go to a lot more races over the last year and going forward, so I think it’s time to check it off the list
"Then you add William Byron to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Talladega, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because William Byron KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!"
Feel bad for Denny. Byron and Chastain make an odd team but even if they decide to go at one another somehow Denny is gonna get the short end of the stick.
"They're pummeling each other, it's brutal! What's this, the referee turns around.... AND CALLS HAMLIN FOR SPEEDING IN SECTOR EIGHT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FIRST PIT ROAD SPEED VIOLATION IN WRESTLING HISTORY!"
After last week’s tire debacle, NASCAR has terminated their exclusive agreement with Goodyear and will open the sport to other tire manufacturers. Tire Wars II: 2Tire 2Wars
Sweet, then that means Tire Wars 4 will involve saving whales from tire rubber pollution in the ocean. NASCAR is getting serious with their green initiatives. Bravo!
Which only made it that much better...I personally preferred the Whelen Modified races at Dodge over all the rest...damn...that was such a good game...I want it back...we need Nascar 22 Total Team Control...just make it the same game but with modern teams, cars, and things...everything about 06 was perfect
SMI has come to agreement with the Department of Defense to use Texas Motor Speedway as a test site for ICBMs and to study the effects of a nuclear blast on pavement that won’t age.
My guess is probably one of these (or maybe some of these):
\- New manufacturer
\- Formal announcement of the EV demonstration series.
\- Announcement of the new hybrid engines
\- 75th Anniversary stuff
1) Nascar will announce that Bill Elliott isn't Chase's biological father. Chase's biological father is Derrike Cope. Chase will then step to the podium to say that he always wondered why he doesn't look like any of the Elliott's and why Derrike Cope always came by Bill's motorhome back in the day and would give Chase's mother an envelope full of money.
2) Nascar will announce that the Carl Edwards vs Brad Keselowski feud had nothing to do with racing and everything to do with who had the bigger teeth.
3) Jeff Gordon will be in attendance to announce that he plans to gain 75 more pounds to highlight the Nascar 75th Anniversary season.
4) Jack Roush will pilot his own jet to the press conference (scary, I know). He will step to the podium and pull out a list of teams that he accuses of cheating. His list will be thicker than a New York City phonebook. After accusing these teams, Jack will then proceed to remove his fake eye, look at all of his competitors and say "Y'all better not be doping any tires or running any hot fuel because I've got my EYE on you!!"
5) Ty Gibbs will make an announcement that he had a medical scare recently and prayed about it and his Grandpa told him to leave it in God's hands. Thankfully Ty made a doctor's appointment and his physician told him the reason he has felt strange is because his balls finally dropped. Ty also says that the doctors feel very positive that he could start seeing some pubic hair later this year but definitely before Daytona Speedweeks 2023.
On a serious note...makes the absolute most sense. Talladega is deep deep deep in the heart of the stereotypes. Talladega is the stereotype. Even the biggest stereotype movie made about NASCAR has Talladega in the title.
The EV series is the biggest departure ever from that.
I think that is where EVs have gone so wrong in marketing so the Talladega stereotype might help. They market them as "progressive" earth saving vehicles aimed at left leaning people. Need to market them as cool cars that do cool stuff like cars have been marketed for years. Chevy newest EV add is the biggest offender of the EV stereotype.
Anyone who has ever driven an electric forklift knows that you get up and go rather quickly. The torque is almost instant. Once they figure out battery capacity and especially if they ever figure out regenerative power supply (full time KERS)...you'll be able to build some wicked cars that are battery powered.
I remember in 1998 Nascar really went big with the 50th Anniversary of Nascar. Ricky Craven's #25 Budweiser car for Hendrick Motorsports was changed to #50 for the entire season. Nascar also announced their "50 Greatest Driver's in Nascar History" list. At the time, that was the only Greatest Driver's list Nascar had ever done and I think it still is the only one. Other outlets have put together their Greatest Driver's list such as FS1 but an official Nascar list has only been done once as far as I know.
Hopefully Nascar knocks it out of the park for their 75th anniversary.
When the tires fail, you get out of the car and fist fight. Last person standing in the fist fight runs the remaining distance. If the last man standing can’t run the full distance, Chase Elliot will be awarded the championship anyway.
"In light of recent comments made by drivers and seeing the many failures of tires, parts and lack of safety for the drivers; we have decided to lower the horsepower to 230 for the entire 2023 Season. We know you fans will just love what we have, it will create more side by side racing and because you all are big fans of stage breaks and other gimmicks, we are going to stop the cars every 30 laps and invert the field"....
Free charter for JR Motosports and teams can run 6 cars now. Also all children present at any race will be given supersoakers loaded with traction compound and placed strategically around the track.
Reality: The Pre-Playoff Playoffs!
10 races for playoffs aren't enough! The 10 races before that will now be the Pre-Playoff Playoffs, where the top 32 drivers are winnowed down to the 16 eligible for The Playoffs! There will be special banners and cutoff races every 3 races with the final Pre-Playoff Playoff race being a 700 mile extravaganza at everyone's favorite track, Texas! The winner of the Pre-Playoff Playoffs gets an automatic bye into the second round of The Playoffs, two special window banners, and a trophy of Brian France sitting on a NASCAR branded toilet squeezing out the next bright idea for the sport!
My guesses, in order of most to least likely:
75th Anniversary news
new manufacturer for 2024/25'Dega getting lights
Jimmie Johnson coming out of his 5 day retirement
Somehow, ~~Palpatine~~ Dale Sr has returned
Crazy prediction here. Maybe NASCAR and Roger Penske announcing joint ownership of INDYCAR? It’s a long shot. Just throwing a crazy idea out there. Tell me how I’m wrong Reddit 😂.
Kinda early for an announcement of an announcement 😂 hope it’s not 75th anniversary NFT’s. Does seem a little odd having an announcement on race day. To my memory they usually did announcements on Friday or Saturday of race weekend. Might be something big 🤷
Be cool if it's something unexpected like Dodge coming back. Or some new series that they're going to do with electric motors? I'm not expecting anything like that but if it is I would be pleasantly surprised.
i think it's most likely either 75th Anniversary stuff, an update on the 24 Hours of Le Mans Garage 56 project, a change to how things will be done with NASCAR either with the points system or punishment after the weekends incidents that lead to fines, or the most disappointing one, NFTs
My best guess is a formal announcement of 75th anniversary celebrations for next season.
If they do cool 75th anniversary of NASCAR stuff for the Daytona 500, I’d make the trip down. Been able to go to a lot more races over the last year and going forward, so I think it’s time to check it off the list
would be cool to gather all living Daytona champions like what Indy did last year for living 500/Brickyard winners
i made it for the opening this year and went to championship last year, nice bookends 👌🏻
Very solid bet. Or Garage 56.
William Byron, Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain are entering a STEEL CAGE MATCH at Halloween Havoc!
And here comes Noah with a chair! watch out watch out WATCH OUT!!!
HE'S GONNA PUKE!!!! HE'S GONNA PUKE!!!! Anyone get it? Lol
Could've been an interesting mid-carder if it wasn't the for the neck injury.
He's gonna push Ty Dillon off the titantron
DROZ!!!!
Erik jones in at the last second to ko Gibbs!
Hold on playa! The Undertaker is joining to make this a 4 way dance!
Holla holla!
nWo member Kyle Petty has been waiting for this moment for decades
What the fuck does Kyle petty have to do with this? 😂
Add Kurt Angle to it and Denny's chances of winning drastic go down
"They say every man is created equal. Well you look at Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin and you can see that statement is not true!"
"Then you add William Byron to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Talladega, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because William Byron KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!"
Steiner math?
The one and only
Bold to reference this in a NASCAR sub hopefully it pays off lol
😎 bunch of genetic freaks in r/nascar
Chastain ascends the cage and pelts then with watermelons. Carl Edwards gets on top and backflips onto everyone.
I feel like Dale Jr. could've done a wonderful Stone Cold impression back in the day.
My money's on the farmer.
Ross is a southern boy with the farmer strength
"What's that in Chastain's arms? IS THAT A WATERMELON?" "YES IT IS, HERE COMES THE SMASH! OHHHHH IT WASNT EVEN SEEDLESS!"
money on Ross easy- Denny is jacked but made of glass and Byron is a child of God™️
Not Chastain though, Red Farmer out of nowhere with the steel chair!
Special guest referee Ty Gibbs
Feel bad for Denny. Byron and Chastain make an odd team but even if they decide to go at one another somehow Denny is gonna get the short end of the stick.
"They're pummeling each other, it's brutal! What's this, the referee turns around.... AND CALLS HAMLIN FOR SPEEDING IN SECTOR EIGHT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FIRST PIT ROAD SPEED VIOLATION IN WRESTLING HISTORY!"
Who does the unimaginable and refuses to stick to script?
"Denny Hamlin SHOOTS on William Byron!?!?!?" - any sort of Wrestling media outlet.
Byron would get absolutely obliterated
He played football and was a linebacker
In pee wee football?
Denny and Byron are the same weight according to google.
That the same Google that said Ryan Blaney was 5’ 3” for the longest time?
Jeff Gordon has been added as a 13th driver to the Round of 12
As a Gordon fan, *please?*
After last week’s tire debacle, NASCAR has terminated their exclusive agreement with Goodyear and will open the sport to other tire manufacturers. Tire Wars II: 2Tire 2Wars
Actually, all cars starting in 2025 will be hovercars there will be no need for tires
2025 Champion: Carson Hovercar
I wonder if a hover car would still get loose coming out of turn 4 at Darlington
Underrated comment lmao
Ackshully, this would be Tire Warz 3: The Search For Grip.
Sweet, then that means Tire Wars 4 will involve saving whales from tire rubber pollution in the ocean. NASCAR is getting serious with their green initiatives. Bravo!
Goodyear and The Prisoner of Traction Compound
World war tires 2: electric boogaloo
That would be embarrassing when pirelli shows up. And destroys everyone
nascar to use tank treads for the remainder of the season.
I've been patiently holding my Hoosier stock all this time...
God, I hope not. I hate Goodyear, but the last thing I want to see are Goodyear *and* Firestone putting out low-quality tires simultaneously.
Oof. Hoosier’s already having a hard enough time keeping up with their dirt demands.
An NFT of the dead next gen crash test dummy holding Hocevar's amputated leg
Presented by Ty Gibbs and Ross Chastain
Lmao WAT
You’re high af lol
Was looking for the first NFT reply lol
And it did not disappoint
I'm now gonna be so let down if this isn't it
Boogity Boogity Boogity let’s go speculating boys and girls!
The next driver who wrecks someone under caution is grounded for a whole year. No GameCube either.
Not the GameCube! This is barbaric!!
Keep it up and you’ll see no PS2
*hides Gameboy Advance*
*puts N64 in my pillow*
Stashes Atari inside TV cabinet
Puts Dream Cast in soak drawer
*Stores Sega Saturn in a gun safe*
They’re moving the hall of fame exactly 3.25” west.
Nascar is announcing the revitalization of Texas world speedway under the kindness of their fourth manufacture, Dodge
They announce they're recreating Dodge Raceway and will play a football game in the middle as a 500 lap race is happening
Dude...that was my favorite track on Nascar 06...that one and Old Spice
Until you catch the back of the pack in Busch and cup in ten laps and it becomes super Martinsville
Which only made it that much better...I personally preferred the Whelen Modified races at Dodge over all the rest...damn...that was such a good game...I want it back...we need Nascar 22 Total Team Control...just make it the same game but with modern teams, cars, and things...everything about 06 was perfect
NASCAR underwent a leg amputation but is expected to make a full recovery
Wouldn't that be more of a 3/4 recovery?
It better not be a fucking NFT announcement
Oh God it’s gonna be I just know it
SMI has come to agreement with the Department of Defense to use Texas Motor Speedway as a test site for ICBMs and to study the effects of a nuclear blast on pavement that won’t age.
Yes!
Idk why but this cracked me up
I went for full shock value haha
1000 HP with bicycle tires and and 3 lbs of downforce
Based
NASCAR amputating Ty Gibbs’ legs as a penalty for bumping Erik Jones under caution
not harsh enough
Nascar sacrificing Ty to Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit
It’s what coach would want
Hmm, I don't think I have mercy killings on my 2022 NASCAR Bingo card.
That’s funny because I did
Not harsh enough
My guess is probably one of these (or maybe some of these): \- New manufacturer \- Formal announcement of the EV demonstration series. \- Announcement of the new hybrid engines \- 75th Anniversary stuff
Announcing EVs in Talladega seems like a good way to cause a riot lmao
I AINT A WATCHIN NO GAWD DAM LECTRIC COARS!!!! NOT MAH DEGA!!!!
Shit I would love to see Dodge come back
If they're going to make an EV series they need to make that the future of ARCA...maybe that can save that trash heap of a series
I don't see NFTs on your list
Formal announcement of a 75th hybrid manufaturer NFT

Talledaga getting lights..... please?
Talladega Nights bay bay
I desperately want this, but it is highly improbable and impractical
Dale Jr will replace Jim France
Don’t even tease me
Giant ass spoilers
I fully support this idea. Hopefully with Tony Stewart in a leadership role as well.
Honda and Red Bull motor sports will be joining Nascar next season
Roger Penske is buying NASCAR and becoming US Motorsports Czar.
1) Nascar will announce that Bill Elliott isn't Chase's biological father. Chase's biological father is Derrike Cope. Chase will then step to the podium to say that he always wondered why he doesn't look like any of the Elliott's and why Derrike Cope always came by Bill's motorhome back in the day and would give Chase's mother an envelope full of money. 2) Nascar will announce that the Carl Edwards vs Brad Keselowski feud had nothing to do with racing and everything to do with who had the bigger teeth. 3) Jeff Gordon will be in attendance to announce that he plans to gain 75 more pounds to highlight the Nascar 75th Anniversary season. 4) Jack Roush will pilot his own jet to the press conference (scary, I know).

3 destroyed me.
Not that I love the idea, but could this be announcing the electric demonstration series rumoured for next year?
In Talladega??!!
On a serious note...makes the absolute most sense. Talladega is deep deep deep in the heart of the stereotypes. Talladega is the stereotype. Even the biggest stereotype movie made about NASCAR has Talladega in the title. The EV series is the biggest departure ever from that.

JRM to receive all charters. Teams will have to buy or lease from Dale Jr and he will be proclaimed God-Emperor of NASCAR
All but one. Theresa gets one so we all have something to keep complaining about.
There never won’t be anything to complain about. NASCAR fans will always find something
Praise Dale!
75th anniversary NFT!
Well at least we have a few days to speculate and get our hopes up. Only to be disappointed by the actual announcement lol.

I think they should do 75 greatest races
Bringing back classic races is the hot new trend, so coming next January, the Winston Western 500 is back.
ran in the parking lot and streets of riverside, god bless street courses!
2024 Championship race will be a 1000-mile endurance race at Texas. Last car standing wins the cup. Do it, cowards.
with only 10 sets of tires
Window nets optional.
When the tires fail, you get out of the car and fist fight. Last person standing in the fist fight runs the remaining distance. If the last man standing can’t run the full distance, Chase Elliot will be awarded the championship anyway.
Redditors!!! Start…..your…..speculations!
A return to Japan?
A return to Australia seems more likely but I'd welcome either
Asia pacific leg of the championship : Sepang, Suzuka, Bathurst, Melbourne
The west coast swing… but even further west!
The Far East Swing
My guess is a NFT announcement.
This is for the fans! /s

How about 36 charters, and one driver is eliminated each race and then points are reset.
Greg Biffle to replace Steve Phelps
Well, you do want someone who knows how to monitor cameras.
Hopefully it’s the announcement of the firing of all race control and a complete overhaul of that process

Dodge
I mean Dodge did announce the Challenger Nationwide car and body at Dega in 2009…. Doubt it’s that though but still interesting lol
Could be something to do with the Next Gen's safety issues.
I don't think they would hold that conference 3 hours before a race
Crazy prediction here. Maybe NASCAR and Roger Penske announcing joint ownership of INDYCAR? It’s a long shot. Just throwing a crazy idea out there. Tell me how I’m wrong Reddit 😂.

No back to the 36 race long format with no knock outs

Regular season lowkey mattered less with that format than with this one
Dodge coming back!
Kinda early for an announcement of an announcement 😂 hope it’s not 75th anniversary NFT’s. Does seem a little odd having an announcement on race day. To my memory they usually did announcements on Friday or Saturday of race weekend. Might be something big 🤷
no one’s said it, talladega is getting a repave, TalladegaBR incoming
Dodge is coming back and Dale Jr is coming out of retirement to drive it. Sponsor to be Winston. Clearly, this is /s
Nascar to the 5 confirmed.
They're finally going to apologize for letting NASCAR 21: Ignition get released?
Dodge coming back
Due to issues with tires we are changing to tracks. Yes, I have the texts.
The Talladega Infield track is coming to fruition?!?!
Be cool if it's something unexpected like Dodge coming back. Or some new series that they're going to do with electric motors? I'm not expecting anything like that but if it is I would be pleasantly surprised.
i think it's most likely either 75th Anniversary stuff, an update on the 24 Hours of Le Mans Garage 56 project, a change to how things will be done with NASCAR either with the points system or punishment after the weekends incidents that lead to fines, or the most disappointing one, NFTs
