I get the reasoning for doing the LA Coliseum for the Clash and trying to tap that media market but having this preseason event at Bowman Gray is much more exciting as a NASCAR fan than the Coliseum again. Personally... PERSONALLY.... I would love going back to preseason Thunder at Daytona. A REAL Speedweeks again. Non points race at a drafting track, all about the money and even getting a heads up on Daytona 500 live situation practice. Maybe make it a short race though. There for a few years the Budweiser Shootout (as I still fondly remember it being called) went for way too many laps. Maybe 50 laps all or nothing at Daytona. ....again this is me talking but I would love to see a return to tradition in a way but I get the reasoning for trying something new

[@Ochoduckie]

As enjoyable as a return to Speedweeks would be, the teams just aren’t down to spend two weeks and a couple million in Florida testing airboxes, only to have a field-filler spin and wreck half a team’s superspeedway fleet.

I’ve got tickets to Bowman Gray in Winston-Salem sitting at the start finish line. It holds 17,000 people.

[@bertpulaski2492]

For the Clash, since it is an exhibition race, do something completely different. I’d even be ok if it was Road Atlanta. Or, Daytona Road Course. Yes I know it’s not the typical short or intermediate track that NASCAR is known for but the Clash isn’t a race that they’re known for either.

[@thedicehaveit]

Anyone interested in Carrera, skip Go--that is for kids/. Digital is the way to go. It wasn't highlighted, but with that one and racing up to 6 cars at once, to are able to pass and switch lanes. You can also be required to pit and refuel. Can also get lap times. It can be costly though to get a solid set up. Many types of cars to choose from including Indy/F1/muscle cars/sports cars/police cars etc...

[@thekiddjc3173]

About the Breidinger thing: I'd like to argue that ARCA is really a terrible series to base anything off of anymore. Andres Perez was the champion and didn't even win. In fact NO full time ARCA national driver won a race last season. This is mainly because of the 18 and 28 cars dominating each race with barely any competition. I'd personally base Toni's performances off of her truck starts which aren't too shabby. I don't really think ARCA is very useful anymore if you ask me.

[@justin_drake]

Its good to see Toni Breidinger get a chance at NASCAR but I wish she went directly to Xfinity. Trucks are really cut throat racing. But I think she'll be better than Hailie Deegan.

I think if Toni wants to be taken seriously and not be painted as only being there because of sponsors and diversity she needs to atleast match or be slightly better than what Dean Thompson did. Like you said Dean has a 19th average finish, if she can be slightly better at like 18 or just slightly behind at like a 20, I dont think thats expecting her to light the world on fire. Then the year after that she has to improve on those numbers.

I expect Breidinger's Stats in 2025 to be as follows - 0 Wins, 0 Top 5s, 2 Top 10s, 5 Top 15s, 8 Top 20s, 0 Poles, Leads 20 Laps, 14 Lead Lap Finishes, 4 DNFs, An Average Start of 21.8, An Average Finish of 16.4, and Finishes 17th in the Points Standings. Dean Thompson's Stats in 2024 weren't good - 0 Wins, 0 Top 5s, 6 Top 10s, 11 Top 15s, 14 Top 20s, 0 Poles, Led 4 of the 3363 Laps Ran, 13 Lead Lap Finishes, 5 DNFs, An Average Start of 17.0, An Average Finish of 18.9, and Finished 16th in the Points Standings.
