[@nascarfanatic2425]

I couldn't tell you why F1 screwed up, but NASCAR messed up because of their incompetence. The change in car is what did this race in. If they stuck with the Gen-4 car or ran something similar, the oval would likely still be used and a big race.

[@Leahi84]

[@mrFiiSKiiS]

F1 and NASCAR shit the bed all on their own. F1 was trying to build North American popularity, already an uphill battle with just one event a year here, when they shat the bed with their tire fuck up. NASCAR changed the car in a way that didn't benefit the track and made no effort to fix that. Instead they tried to gimmick it up pushing it to the end of the regular season, then try and replace the Daytona July 4th race with it. Indycar is successful because Indy is always at the forethought of what the cars do.

You make the absolute best videos and are the sole reason I became a fan of Nascar. Thank you and keep up the incredible work.

[@kdwaynec]

I was at the first Brickyard with some guys from work. The place was absolutely packed, and we had to take turns leaning forward or sitting up straight; there wasn't enough room to sit shoulder to shoulder. I watched on TV the next year as Earnhardt won and laughed when Dale said he was "the first man" to win it.

The problem, besides the tire fiasco, is cars that can’t pass. It’s not an Indy problem, it’s a NASCAR problem. NASCAR got bigger and bigger until they forgot that RACING was the important thing. They’ve just become an entertainment entity. Who wants to watch race cars NOT pass each other? It’s sad too, because NASCAR was great until they ruined it.

[@Kwiet_Katt_Studio]

It should be, and, should have never stopped being the Brickyard 400

[@kentstephens4770]

I still think that all in all the brickyard 400 was a good race. Better than the road course race.

[@bradsanders407]

Lets not let nostalgia cloud our judgement. It was a boring ass race but no doubt prestigious. The only race in nascar that ever rivaled that of daytona. Something he doesnt talk about though he mentions air races is nascar pulled the busch series race from irp to run at this track. I grew up about an hour away from both tracks and it was a tradition to go to irp for the night race then mosey over to the big track and party though the night get in a quick nap and watch the 400. Once they pulled the busch series race from irp i never went back. That was a way more exciting race. Short track racing under the lights is the very essence of stock car racing and nascar no longer have a damn about stock car racing. It was all about gimmicks and marketing ploys and a "to hell with the product" attitude that has done them in and cost millions of fans. I remember in the early 2000s some guy had a team with no sponser so to try and get one he wrote on his car "11 million per week" referencing how many people were watching on average at the time. They will be lucky to get that many total to watch the entire chase or playoffs or round robin whatever bullshit they call their product at the end of the year now.

[@robertscott1361]

It was a good race the first several years. Nascar changing the cars that killed the mile and a half type of tracks also hurt the racing at Indy. Then the arrogance of Nascar surrounding the tire fiasco pretty much doomed it.

[@dancremering1198]

As someone who has been going to Indy since the 08 tire fiasco I don't know what to do... I have enjoyed the road course the past few years over the COT/Gen6 cars on the oval. The NextGen car is a sports car designed more for road racing. So I think the race will be better next year on the road course. I also think they need to look into altering turn 1 a bit. I am also curious how the NextGen Car would do on the oval. My vote would be road 23, oval 24, road 25, oval 26. Then if the racing is still meh. Then move everything to IRP. I do like the Indycar Nascar double header. As a fan for $70 to see 3 races in 2 days at a BYOB track is an unbeatable value.

[@bradsanders407]

It is . Staying home and spending 0. Or spending 70 on just about anything else. You touched on the underlying issue. They lost me and my friends and families interest once they took the busch series race away from irp and moved it to ims. I use to go to both all the time as well as talladega and bristol. Taking the busch series race from irp was the last straw for me. That was always a way better race. Thats where my cousin and i became lifelong Dale Jr and Matt Kenseth fans after watching Jr edge out Kenseth there in 98. To think that nascar has now taken that opportunity away for future fans is well why they dont have many future fans.

[@ryanwinkelman1781]

I was 9 years old when the 94 brickyard took place. The talk and hype leading up to it was incredible. Stock cars...at indy. It seemed impossible. I begged my dad to get tickets. He actually tried but it was literally impossible by the time he actually got around to it. We had been to the fall Michigan race in 93 (my first race) and kept going every year until about 2003. You are right about nascar not racing at indy anymore. The cars they have now are nothing like a real stock car, or at least what a stock car used to be. The whole thing is nothing but a clusterfuck clown show anymore. The whole overtime thing is a joke and consistently causes the best team that day to lose a race they dominated and should have won because they got dumped on a restart that shouldn't have happened to begin with. They seriously may as well make the race 2 laps long and whoever is left at the end wins. The playoffs is what caused this driver behavior. It comes from desperation and routinely the driver that dominates the year loses the championship to a guy that got lucky or plowed over enough of his competitors once the playoffs started he came out ahead. If NASCAR wants to be real racing again they need to eliminate the playoffs, overtime, and build a good stock car again with a lot of power that doesn't depend so much on aero but chassis setup instead. Basically, they need to undo anything Brian France did.

[@dianeadkins-diorio1783]

2008 (with the Great Tire Fiasco) was the beginning of the end :(

[@AmiezonPrime]

i do miss the brickyard, but i think the indy road course can work out given the time for teams to learn the limits of the track in terms of where to push the car at and where to play more conservatively. i think a 400/road course doubleheader could be a fantastic approach to the whole debacle

[@asherwiggin6456]

With the huge competition for dates between tracks I don’t see this happening

[@ryansheehan9462]

If they’re not going to go back to the oval (rectangle) then they should go to IRP. The road course is a mess.

[@TheMachineRadioShow]

I was there for that weekend. Watched Indycar, Xfinity and nascar. I personally think the road course is viable as well. It was only a bad showing because of the freak curbing incident. It was fun seeing the nascars being challenged with something different than the oval. The last 400 on the oval wasn't very exciting to watch. We will see what plays out though.

[@roymcdre9180]

Holy shit thats alot of people in the stands for that 94 race!!

[@bradsanders407]

I cant believe you mention all those other series that came and went at the track and never mentioned the busch series. Thats the reason/final nail in the coffin i quit going to nascar races all together. My buddies and i made a tradition out of going to irp for the busch series night race (which was always a way better race) then would stumble our way over to ims and party til finally passing out for a quick power nap then go in and watch the 400. The Kroger 200 was always a fan favorite. People looked forward to going to it. With the Brickyard it was obviously more about the prestige than the on track racing. After the repaving of bristol and the taking away of the irp race that was one kick in the teeth too many. A sports radio host in indy summed it up best "oh great we get Suck Jr and Suck Sr". It was the official end of anyone in the area caring anymore.

@Aldous Coroza that would make for interesting tire strategies, especially with stage racing and teams pitting late in stages for softer faster tires and others staying out hoping the drivers who did pit will have worn tires by the end and gain track position at the end of the stage and cars on softer tires also making up positions before the tires fall off the cliff.

A lot of people say that the Brickyard 400 died because of the 2008 race. That race didn't help things, but I think the downfall of the Brickyard 400 was a slow burnout over the span of time.

Maybe both the Indy Oval and the Indy Road Course doesn't fit for NASCAR anymore. I remember watching the last Brickyard 400 a few years ago and it was a snooze fest. There wasn't a lot of passing and basically became "follow the leader". The Indy Road Course on the other hand also doesn't produce good racing and it was the same thing like the Indy Oval, "follow the leader". Maybe we should give the Indy Oval one last chance since the Gen 7 car made racing little more better on intermediates and speedways.

IMO, the road course is SO MUCH BETTER. Way more actions and displays better driver ability. It's not just turning left, its setting a car up to dominate in both the left and right hand turns. It harkens back to the roots of NASCAR with moonshine runners having to outrun the law on actual roads. NASCAR has enough courses that only turn left, a few road course races a year adds the spice that it needs and separates the good drivers from the great drivers.

[@silverdarlin]

It's such a shame that tyre failures killed both NASCAR and Formula 1 at Indy. Just 3 years before the 2008 Brickyard 400, the 2005 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix was tainted by tyre issues. Due to the same diamond grooving that affected NASCAR, F1 teams running Michelin tyres (BAR Honda, Renault, BMW Williams, McLaren, Sauber, Red Bull and Toyota) found their tyres disintegrating during practice, with Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher suffering a heavy crash at T13 (T1 on the oval). Because no agreement could be reached to solve the issue, the Michelin teams withdrew, leaving only three teams (Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi) to take the start. The six car 'race' was won by 7x champ Michael Schumacher, who took his only win of the season, with his Ferrari team mate Rubens Barrichello 2nd, and the Jordan of Tiago Monteiro 3rd. The race limped on until 2007, when it dropped of the calendar. F1 wouldn't return to the States until 2012, when they started racing at COTA
