Door Bumper Clear posed an interesting question last week on their podcast. Who are the six biggest NASCAR stars of the day? Brett Griffin brought it up based off of his version of the 80/20 rule.
Shane Van Gisbergen is back in the Unites States. Not only is he back to race in the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Indianapolis Road Course, but he is also going to make his oval racing debut this weekend at Indianapolis Raceway Park. He posted his truck for this weekend on Twitter.
Denny Hamlin made some headlines this weekend by saying that NASCAR should return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval next year. He is not the only one to advocate for that, and it has become an interesting point of discussion amongst fans. Is it the right move for NASCAR, however? Let’s take a look at some pros and cons.

Who have been the five best drivers at the Indianapolis Road Course over the first two races?
NASCAR and Indianapolis has gone from a definite no-go to a yearly tradition over the last 30 years.

It’s become a conversation in recent years, and especially in recent weeks surrounding whether or not NASCAR should visit all venues only once per year. We at the Daily Downforce have not been immune to that discussion, but there is more to consider on this topic. However, there is something to also note about this track’s ticket policy that could help counteract this issue.
It was an all-too familiar sight for NASCAR fans on Sunday. Rain postponed the final 125 laps of the Firekeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway to Monday at noon. For those who may have lost track of all of the weather delays NASCAR has had this year, we do not blame you, and Jonathan Field went through every weekend and found out that 17 of 25 weekends have had weather issues this year.
