    Painted rims are a perfectly simple way to elevate a scheme.

    We know teams are allowed to mess with them. Penske uses a lighter shade of gray/silver. Not that evident in single car picks but in a crowd shows. I believe it’s Hendrick that has some red accents, mostly only visible during pit stops or on pit road. 
    Not every scheme *needs* them, but some iconic schemes of the past have featured the painted rim.

    I think teams are hesitant to mess with wheels after they tried penalizing teams before the first race for altering wheels which actually made them safer. Also I think teams don’t really see the purpose of painting wheels when a full speed the color gets washed out, unlike the painted rims from before that would look like a single block of color at speed.

  2. While I never was a fan of Taylor swift I really never paid attention to her being at the games other than the occasional glance at a headline come across my phone each Sunday that she’s there. In the games I watched they hardly showed her. What I do have issue with is the tribalism of the T-Swift mafia now making every other post on my social media be “if you have a problem with T-Swift being at the game then you’re part of the patriarchy” or something along those lines. I didn’t want the chiefs to win before I wasn’t even thinking they’d make it out of the first round, but now I want them to crash and burn and see all the fan girls minds explode.

    Oh, this is sweet. Top scheme already

    From all angles-

    That’s way too busy for my liking. The number will be hard to read, maybe removing the red shape that gets interrupted by it, or just making it smaller so the number can breath some. Also there is no flow to the car, angles going every which way. The red spikes pointing up and to the back, the horse point up and to the front, the black and white pointing forward but rounded while having another black spike pointing back from the hood. Just it’s all over the place.

    "OHHHH AWWWW JIM WHAT A SMART MOVE TO SET UP 1ST AND 10" - Tony Romo on Roquan Smith picking up a 15-yard penalty for just knocking a guy on his ass unabated

    Even if it was just to get a 5 yd offsides I don’t get it. Yards are yards regardless. Who cares if it’s first and 5 or fist and 10

    Football is the hardest sport in the world to explain the rules to someone.  "The rule is this up until 2 minutes left in the 2nd q, then it changes, then goes back to it for the next 25 minutes of the game, then with 5 minutes left, it goes back to what it did in the last 2 mins of first half."  "You can do x within 5 yards of the LOS, unless the QB does y, in which case you can only do  x within a yard (or whatever)"

     

    It's no wonder it's not more popular world wide.

    Yeah I have a co-worker who has virtually never watched football. Me and another guy try so hard to explain it to him, then he’ll say something like “what is keeping them from throwing it again after they catch it” as an example and you got to explain why he can’t, then he’ll see someone lateral and you have to explain why they can do that and so on. Trying to explain what is a catch took about 2 hours.

    Oh, for :censored:'s sake, are you really going to the mats over a joke post? 

    You are the one who came up with the “well actually” post that was completely inaccurate.

    I don't think so. Baseball is a tough sport for a market to support. Las Vegas can do it because it's a destination city that will rely heavily on transplants and visiting fans. SLC is not that. If they JUST got baseball and nothing else, they could conceivably make it happen. But MLB and NHL to go along with the Jazz (and count RSL, too).... that would be tough. I think the two new teams if they happened close together would cannibalize each other.

    Is it though? Who goes to Las Vegas and says “let’s go watch a baseball game outside in the devils :censored:, and not stay inside gamble, strip clubs, watch shows, or sports indoors.”

    Black on red is always a tough contrast. I could see the logos and numbers being okay because of the size but there's no way the names are going to be visible at a distance, especially football stadium hockey distance.

    You say that like anyone will be reading the NOB’s in any game other than close up shot

    Probably something like this.

    $10,000 call girl...

    Well the $10,000 call girl is a rip off then, I’d atleast be expecting the equivalent of a Lamborghini revuelto, not a car I could buy for less than 6 figures

    This article implies that this isn't the first theme.

    https://www.jayski.com/2024/01/25/darlington-raceway-selects-grassroots-racing-theme-for-official-throwback-weekend-of-nascar-may-10-12/

    It acts as a "suggestion", not a requirement, but it's cool nonetheless.

    will honor the racing origins of drivers, owners, team members, and NASCAR as a whole.” can literally mean anything. Kyle Larson can drive the first hendrick win car, while Byron drives a iracing scheme, Elliot drives one of his dad’s schemes, and bowman races a scheme for Chad knaus and it would all fit that “theme” and that’s only one race team. They just put the “grassroots” name to it.

    I heard that the "theme" for Throwback Week this year is drivers' pre-NASCAR racing history. Obviously not every team is gonna stick to that theme but it should make for some fun throwbacks.

    This would be the first time that they had a theme because in the past it was throwbacks to all eras, series, ect. You’d have Joey logano in a car based on a modified from the 80’s running Byron into the wall in a car based on a cup scheme ran in the 2000’s
