I am buying Nascar: The Game 2011 for the PS3 the moment it comes out in mid February. LOL.
I am buying it because of this: It has Drafting arcade-like physics gameplay and you can actually pass on the outside at Daytona... I've been wanting that in a Nascar game forever! LOL. Gameplay at California-type track doesn't looks as realistic though LOL: Quote:
I agree... a number 4 in stylized Hendrick fonts would match better.

Looks like Nascar is going to have a rule change. A Driver is only going to be allowed to accumulate Championship points in only one series at a time. So now no Cup drivers will be able to win the Nationwide or Truck series championships. They can still race of course, but not for championship points... at least I think that's how it works. LOL.
FINALLY! IMO this is important because the best way to create new stars is for a Nationwide driver to win the Nationwide championship! And nothing creates new marketing buzz than a new champion IMO!

I dont like that NASCAR cup drivers can drive in Busch. Its bullshit and NO other sports leagues allow it. Sure, hockey sends guys UP when they are needed because of injuries, buts its totally different. Can you imagine if they sent their best players DOWN to try and win more games/championships!?!?!?! Its a joke that NASCAR allows it. Shows they only care about the money. Im glad if this is what it is, i.e., cant race for points in both series, but I STILL believe they need to put a STOP to cup drivers going down and racing at all. It takes away from the guys who are trying to get their start/break into NASCAR.

LOL. Pretty sure Nascar was... is... and always will be about money... sponsorship money. LOL. Nascar was supposed to hold like a news conference or something explaining everything in detail... not sure if they did already yet. I'm kind of tuning out everything until Daytona. LOL.

I know its all about the money now with everything, whether its NASCAR, hockey, football, MLB, etc., but the fact that they let cup guys drive down there shows they only want to put fans in the stands.
And I think youre right: They shouldnt be allowed to come up and down. I think there should be a 5 race limit on it, MAX. Even then, I still dont like guys down there all the time. I try not to get too worked up over stuff til a week or two before Daytona, so in a couple weeks Ill hit the NASCAR site. |

Looks like Nascar is also going to get a big change in the points system. Guess we'll find out in a few days when they are supposed to explain everything.

Ive been hoping for this since they put the chase in! The ONLY "sport" that penalizes the first place driver. WTF!?!?! I mean really, what a joke that is. "Hey, youve run the best all year, have the most points and will probably win the championship, however.....we're going to give 'so and so' more points than you because he had more wins, so youre now in 4th, mmmkkaayyy." What a goddamn joke they are. Its too bad, I was a huge fan forever, but the more the corporate jackasses mess with things to "make them better", the less interested I am. I also know its not just me. I grew up in a huge racing family (not just watching, but actually building and racing our own cars on the local short-track circuits), and I dont know anyone who even follows NASCAR anymore.

^ So true... it drives me insane that the point leader gets absolutely nothing for being the most consistent driver through 26 races when the chase starts. Even before I think the point leader only was 5 points ahead of second at the start of the chase, and now that wins determine seeding, the point leader could actually start dead last. LOL.

And with only 3 to 5 races in the chase. It would garauntee the better drivers would be at the top. We cut off too early with 26 races in the regular season.

3 races? LOL. As exciting as that would be (since the chase is only close points-wise for 3 races anyway), I would seriously have a hard time accepting a 3 race points leader as a legitimate champion. LOL.

I wish they would just start the Chase at Daytona and have a 36 race sprint for the cup. LOL.
