One of the last eras you could watch nascar without hearing about playoffs every 5 seconds. Also, look at how awesome the races were without arbitrary stage breaks
Funny thing is, this season had evetything weird. The wing, the rear spitter, the front splitter (ugh), Waltrip in a weird number in the shootout, Reautimann somehow winning a frankly dominant Chicagoland race, and Kahne almost flying into the pocono trees. We also had the Sadler crash that nobody saw. The Keselowski flip that prompted the removal if the wing, and the drama between Edwards and Keselowski's dad as well.
The 2010 season. NASCAR switches back to the small rear spoiler to solve the airborne aerodynamics problem from the big wings, Daytona's asphalt was coming apart, the Edwards and Keselowski vendetta erupts into a war, the brutal Elliott Sadler crash at Pocono that would change the face of Pocono Raceway forever, and NASCAR teammates that didn't get along ignites into feuds such as Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin and Scott Speed and Brian Vickers.
This is my personal favorite season, me and my brother were little kids playing Nascar 2011 (even tho it’s based in 2010) We would play it almost everyday and could list all the drivers as little kids, beautiful paint schemes, and beautiful game
There was a channel that uploaded compilation videos on big wrecks, big ones or bigger ones. Not just as Daytona and Talladega but at other tracks as well. He would put the name of the track and the number of cars that were in the wrecks. But sadly the channel got taken down.
I hated it when they got rid of the rear wing, the wing 100% made the cup cars unique to the trucks and nationwide series. The spoiler just looks generic. Yes I know the wing made the cars airborne, but nascar could’ve made the wing a couple inches smaller so there’s no gap to get the car airborne.
