Want to clarify with everyone that NASCAR is *NOT* going electric anytime soon. This is purely a concept car. They’re also completely aware that removing the sound of the V8 would pretty much end the sport, which is why they’re looking into other technologies to keep that sound. Don’t overreact, they’re not gonna go electric now.
It’s Phelps kissing the Woke Left’s asses is what it is!
I’m done! I won’t watch that show abomination at “The Coliseum”. It’s an embarrassment.

Fake sound ends it too. We’re not stupid
The sport, in my opinion, has been fading due to abandoning its core base.
Switching to EV or Hydrogen will simply hasten its demise.
Yea, this may be the beginning of the end to the Great NASCAR. Man I love nascar but big companies keep making decisions to make the 1 percent happy and they will loose a lot, a lot, a lot of money bc of this. Doesn’t matter that it’s not changing anytime soon, it shows that they are considering it. Hybrid would have been a better move, the years and years later maybe go to it. But like this, it’s just stupid
2:03 CORRECTION: Herbst drove for RWR in last year’s Daytona 500. He finished top10 with FRM at Talladega in the fall.
even so that 36 car is no slouch if Kaz makes the race keep him as a dark horse pick.
zane smith was in the 36 i believe at the 500 last year

then herbst ran daytona 2 and talladega 2
They better not cause I’ll drop this sport like a bad habit
I don’t think NASCAR will go full electric, thank you for going into detail about it Eric.
Even they know how stupid of an idea it would be
Gas > Electric (I don’t care about the carbon emissions, I want vroom vroom, not humming)
that will never happen, too dangerous
They are doing this purely to virtue signaling
Give it time
The problem with hydrogen is storage once it’s in the car if it could be a requirement for tracks to have a hydrogen station on site then it might create some year round revenue
lol ev
Imagine if the fuel cell gets a cut and a spark ignites it. Say bye bye to that driver.
It would create a great skeptical to see and hope it’s not near spectaculars close to the track.
The hydrogen powered cars from Japan race in the Super Taikyu series; they stream live on YT if anypony is interested. On a larger note, the Super GT Championship in Japan have very fast and very loud cars that actually use a synthetic fuel…basically fuel that isn’t sourced from fossil fuels yet an internal combustion engine can process like traditional fuel. Porsche is also working on a synthetic fuel. The United States need to realize that there’s more options than just throwing a big ole battery at it………and making it worse by pumping in fake sound…. ☠
Super GT honestly deserves more exposure over here.
Everyone in attendance should just yell VROOOOOM really loud
Thank you for posting this! Hydrogen and/or synthetic fuels are much more practical than electric. Mercedes F1 is working with the airline industries on synth fuels.
What Dodge did to their new charger was criminal…
@@President_Grover_ClevelandNot entirely Dodge’s fault. Stellantis (the company that owns dodge) basically forced them to kill off the charger and challenger.
Out of Jimmie Johnson,David Ragan,Antony Alfredo, BJ mcleod and kaz grala.
I would say that Jimmie Johnson and David Ragan have a real good shot at winning the Daytona 500.
Specially with legacy motor club now with Toyota. I’m expecting to see more speed out of them this year.
And for David Ragan. If he gets some help from his teammates. He could be a real threat. We all know how good RFK is on super speedway’s. If Ragan gets in that ford train. He’s most likely going to go for it.
Ragan is always up front in these races.
@@nurabsal0x018cunfortunately
@@sundaxe10 yep. He doesn’t stand a chance.
If you are only allowed 2 back up cars, the four car teams would be hard to wrap the cars when you wouldn’t know which team needed the backup.
Backup cars haven’t been wrapped for years until they figure out what team needs it. Then they wrap it in the garage.
I like to see the Daytona 500 entry list keep growing
I took the “No Wrap Rule” as the car(s) had to be unwrapped on the hauler – but if called into service, they can be wrapped for the race.
I could be wrong, I dunno.
It’s going to look like the Hendrick Motorsports back of cars aka a blank wrap and teams will put decals on the car. For junior Motorsports it’s a black wrap So that means you would see if Brandon Jones needs to go to backup car you would see a black Menards car
Yeah I think it’s unwrapped so for instance you have a 4 car team and 2 guys wreck in practice or something you can just throw whoever’s wrap on that or those cars. They wouldn’t be sponsor less cars going around the track when a sponsor paid to be on the car at a race.
This. bring non wrapped cars. need a backup, wrap the car in appropriate scheme during setup. Are any cars in xfinity still painted?
I had NASCAR fans back in 2019 tell me NASCAR would lose all hope by going all electric by 2021…..so make of that as you will.
I love the Daytona 500 entry list getting longer but I hate the fact that teams have to go home on Thursday night
Practicing and qualifying in groups is totally pointless. They could do a normal happy hour practice and normal qualifying in the same amount if time.
I only have 2 problems with the electric idea 1 is they can’t put out the fires coming from the car 2nd silence so quiet and you can’t just get rid of that
Miss the days of 43 cars in a race.
Yeah
everyone does
That livery for Noah is super underrated. Every single car out on the track will look like various skittle flavors. Noah will stand out more than anyone else because his will be grey. Super smart move IMO and the underlying design is a nice touch.
I agree. I think it looks clean and will stand out on the track. It’s Noah’s redemption year, so his story fits the paint scheme in a way
I like it, looks super clean
Agree. Looks good. Simple.
I like it. Simple is better in this day in age of bling.
The no wrap backup cars make sense. The 4-car dale jr team can bring 2 backup cars for their 4 teams. If they have them wrapped for the 1 and 7, and the 8 car wrecks, they’d have no car for the 8 to race. By not wrapping them, no matter what team wrecks, they can use the backup.
I believe the nascar electric cars will be for a winter stadium series of 3-5 weekends even being able to race indoors which could be neat
I think a likely scenario for all electric would be a new, 4th series of nascar equivalent to Formula E (although hopefully better run than that monstrosity of a series). You could run it as a support series to cup so manufacturers can get audience eyes on it. You could also make this a play-around series where you loosen the rule books a bit and let the team engineers be creative. This may attract your fan that’s more in it for the ingenuity as well as attract additional manufacturers. Best part is you maintain the integrity of your cash cow; the cup series
NASCAR XpErimental Series.
Flat grey works grrrrrayt! I love black/white/gray schemes personally. I am not much of a flashy color guy. To each their own. I dig that new scheme. I love your show and thanks for keeping all of us up to date with all things NASCAR. Keep up the good work! BTW, I love that you went with a nice bass guitar groove as an intro seeing as how I am a bass dude myself. Cheers! 🙂
