The 2010 NASCAR season kicks off this weekend with the Daytona 500, following a pair of great Duels yesterday. Should be interesting to see if the recent rules changes have any real effect on fan satisfaction. From encouraging drivers to show more personality to allowing bump drafting on the plate tracks to giving green-white-checker finishes 3 chances instead of 1, I at least applaud NASCAR for trying to fix its problems.
So...who will win Daytona? And can Jimmie Johnson make it 5 in a row?
We may as well make this the de facto racing thread by throwing the IRL into the mix this year too, in case anything worth discussing pops up. For starters, the futuristic new Delta Wing chassis the IRL is considering for future use is certainly interesting. Part fighter jet, part Batmobile, part sports car...all weird looking. But the radical concept could become a reality in the very near future. Thoughts?
