Christopher Vang+FollowAnyone else lowkey miss the days of actual rivalries?Back then, if two drivers hated each other, you knew it. Bumping, payback, a little helmet toss in the pits — all part of the show. Now? Everyone’s got sponsorship scripts to protect and “brand values” to uphold. Not saying we need full-on fist fights (well, maybe once in a while), but man, it added spice. Fans picked sides, grandstands roared louder. Bring back the drama. Keep it a little messy. Who’s with me? #NASCAR #Throwback #RacingRivalries #ShortTrackRacing 90Share
romankimberly+FollowDid NASCAR’s Playoff Rule Change Go Too Far?Anyone else frustrated by how the old top-30 rule is gone? Watching Burton and SVG lock playoff spots despite being way down in points just feels off. Sure, it’s cool to see underdogs win, but shouldn’t consistency matter more? Trackhouse’s move with SVG is smart, but is it good for the sport? The old rule at least made sure winners were legit contenders. Curious what everyone thinks—should NASCAR bring it back or is this just the new normal? #NASCAR #PlayoffDebate #RacingRivalries #Sports #Racing30Share
Isabel Collier+FollowWhen The Intimidator Teamed Up With SmokeRemember that wild 1999 Martinsville showdown? Tony "Smoke" Stewart and Kenny Irwin Jr. were already heating up their rookie rivalry, but the twist came when "The Intimidator" himself, Dale Earnhardt, slowed down on track just to let Stewart get his payback on Irwin. Stewart later admitted it wasn’t his smartest move, but it’s classic NASCAR drama—legends helping rookies settle scores. It’s bittersweet, too, hearing Stewart praise Irwin’s talent years later. What do you all think—would Irwin have snagged a Cup title if tragedy hadn’t struck? #NASCAR #DaleEarnhardt #TonyStewart #KennyIrwinJr #RacingRivalries #Sports340Share
Karla Young+FollowHamlin vs. Chastain: Talladega Drama Again?Once again, fireworks between Denny "The FedEx Express" Hamlin and Ross "The Melon Man" Chastain at Talladega! Hamlin didn’t hold back, calling Chastain’s late-race block "bullshit racing" after it killed the Toyota charge and nearly caused a wreck. These two have a history, and this move just added more fuel to the fire. Was Chastain out of line, or is this just hard-nosed superspeedway racing? Curious to hear what everyone thinks—should NASCAR have black-flagged Chastain for that block? #NASCAR #Talladega #HamlinVsChastain #RacingRivalries #Sports92Share
