Do you think Nascar would ever consider a smaller engine at superspeedways rather than the plate racing we all endure at the moment?

358 CI currently

maybe a 310 CI engine, cost prohibitive to run two engines?

I think it should be considered.

But I don't blame this one on restrictor plate racing. Kyle got up into Tony, either because he was trying to block or he was a bit out of control. They had just restarted the race with about 4-5 laps to go, so they were going to be bunched up a bit even if there wasn't a restrictor plate.

I am just trying t see how all the anoouncers and commentors say that is Racing at its finest? lets put 43 cars on the track and give them no power and make them super aero dependent so there is no passing, unless you dangerously bump draft with a car that is to heavy/big for its wheels?

I kinda miss the old days where passing and rubbing were a great part of daytona. Now its just watching guys go in a circle and see who can not wreck to win.......

The COC(cot) and the current restrictor plates will kill nascar as we know it......

IMO i would rather see good, clean back and forth racing than the crap we see at daytona and talladega....

I think smaller engines with no restrictor plates would separate the cars and bring excitement back to the superspeedways. The only excitement now are big wrecks two to three times a race.

I miss the slingshot, but I think that train left the station with the new body styles.

they pretty much run with the throttle matted at daytona and talledega with the plates (more at 'dega than daytona, i know, but still). i don't think that an engine change would make that much of a difference with todays aero/gear rules.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
