The NASCAR Cup Series’ first foray to the Iowa Speedway and based on how people are talking about it the overall reaction seems extremely positive. With that I want to sing my praises towards this race and everything that made it fun as a viewer at home. This is how NASCAR should be!!!

Are you excited to go back to Iowa in 2025?
Yes
Yes, but make it a day race.
As an Iowan, heck yeah!
@@joel_7892 Why?
Yes, but is it confirmed that they are going back?
Come On, Iowa Corn! Keep Fueling Us with Good Racing!
I hope this race becomes a staple on the schedule.
Why not give it a 2nd race weekend too.
Gotta take one from Richmond
Thank you Rusty for helping create a great race track. Excellent racing with a packed house. The dumb Hemric caution was the only bad moment of the race.
Takes a great driver to know what drivers like!
I think after yesterday I will swing the gavel: Iowa is a great modern track
As a massive Indycar fan, I knew this track was good, figured it was just a matter of time before the cup series raced there
Blaney saved at the pump
And saved at the pump he did
NBC’s off season was atrocious
They lost Dale Jr, Leigh Diffey is said to be coming in for later in the season, and the CW is taking over for the Xfinity playoffs and beyond
We all wondered what was happening, and would this affect NBC’s coverage in any way
Short answer in reality: Nope
Jr wanted to leave NBC.
@@amorris1970 Jr left NBC because he wasn’t under contract for 2024, and someone else gave him a better deal
That change after the Olympics is going to be much better.
That save by Gragson was nuts. Dude went up a notch in my book.
JHN literally turned into him to save him lol, Gragson would’ve binned it without JHN.
I think with side by side, We should have the racing on the bigger screen, Then the commercials on the smaller screen. I really want that to happen
or at least 50/50 where we see a true split screen.
@@caseysmith544 I was thinking of that also
@@BraydenBunch58Yep but unfornately NBC has to show the sponsor logo some where on the screen.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld But at least NBC’s side by side still looks better than FOX
*laughs in “not American”*
You guys think that’s going to happen? Given where you are?
I know how to fix a short track package. We don’t need a new tire and we don’t need no horsepower. Instead we need to repave every single bottom of the corner in every short track so that will increase tire wear. Genius 100
Diamond cut
@@extragoogleaccount6061never
Well if we increase tire wear too much it will lead to a 2008 brickyard 400 incident and that was a disaster
Or even less spoiler is not needed. Yes, a repave in corners where is done with a very small 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch gap beween old and new seems to be best for drivers .
1000hp, weak tires, repave, plus paintball guns for the drivers
Despite the many concerns we had about the partial repave at Iowa, I’m glad it turned out to be a really good turn of events.
Only NBC knows how to kick butt and take NASCAR seriously these days, unlike Garbage FOX
As an Indycar fan in addition to NASCAR, I am not looking forward to Fox taking over the Indycar rights next season especially if Fox uses their NASCAR crew particularly when it comes to production. The only good thing about the Fox Indycar deal is that every race is on big Fox which hopefully will allow Indycar to get a bigger audience & actually grow. Then again if the production is bad from Fox, no one is going to want to watch.
NBC does have its issues though, but no one likes to talk about them
@@jbucktheman All because of how bad Fox is in motorsports coverage, even waching other events Fox did on Fox Sports. All Fox cares about is NFL and NCAA Football.
@@caseysmith544 I know the Fox broadcast is bad but people need to realize that the NBC broadcast isn’t perfect
@@jbucktheman Yes, I know NBC is not good but what is really sad is that USA has NASCAR when bigger NFL sports seasons shown on NBC and yet no conflict of times because all NBC does is Sunday night with the 2–3 min intro song. Yes, I agree on all Channels NASCAR the or Racing is shown split screen needs to be 50/50 at least because not everyone has a 45 inch+ screen.
Ryan Blaney (Who’s deserving of being sponsored by Star Wars Considering that he is a Diehard Fan. Not to mention that his Father Dave Blaney had an active driving career in the duration of Every GTA Game’s Release.) is The Only Driver to Win at Iowa in All 3 Touring Divisions.
And I gotta say that Iowa is definitely up there with Bristol with The Best Race on a Short Track this season.
Yep, all top 3 Divisions.
Wth are you talking about??
@@mastodon98 I guess you don’t know what a Fun Fact is
If it had been on Fox you wouldn’t have felt this way
I think this is an interesting point that deserves discussion, within the context of cognitive biases.
Yea, what a track and atmosphere for a race.
It’s almost like watching a different racing series when NBC’s portion of the schedule begins. They give nascar and the fans the respect they deserve. Just makes you wonder how amazing of a job they could do if they were able to broadcast the Daytona 500
My initial thought also, + the 600
They should repave the corners of richmond now. Nascar needs to do whatever to bring iowa back either take away a darlington, kansas, martinsville or phoenix date. Now I would like cup to race at mid ohio, so 80 of Ryan’s dad side of the family can show up.
Was there all day. The crowd was pumped up all day. Iowa loves racing.
Damn right we do. Just about every county fairgrounds has a dirt track although many of them have been suffering since the pandemic. Here in Davenport we have a DIRTcar Summer Nationals event tonight
Unlucky day for Michael McDowell, but Todd gilliland is on a nice string of good finishes! I am a true FRM fan now
I just wish NBC could do the whole season
So how long is nbc gonna be here for?
The rest of the season, and I believe it’s 9 races a year starting next year, which is half of what they do now
The broadcast was a breath of fresh air. It wasn’t just less commercials but the timing of them too.
Yes, timing is something Fox does not get right even in the NFL or NCAA sports leaving a blank airtime or malfunctioning in coming back more so then next biggest mistake channel in NBC doing Sunday Night.
NBC coverage was excellent. They actually had a legit post race show! And they treated it like a sporting event instead of a comedy skit like FOX. The 2nd half of the race, the only full screen ads were during cautions.
