Pros and Cons of No NASCAR Practice in 2021 (first edition)
Pros and Cons of No NASCAR Practice in 2021 (first edition)
Pros
- DFS NASCAR players don’t need a seasonal subscription with less data existing this year
- Less data to analyze, more free time
- You do not have two watch 5-6 practice sessions each week
- We know Qualifying positions well in advance of the race
- Fantasy NASCAR players no longer have to rush to build between qualifying and start time
- There is less noise (driver quotes, meaningless practice runs, etc.)
- You can still donate to mensches, yes you, and you know who the mensch is
- Less Mike Joy
- It’s easier to play fantasy NASCAR - open the spreadsheet and roll on the day of the race
- No DVR management needed
- Mid week content has more value because nothing changes from Monday to Sunday without practice and qualifying
- YouTube DFS NASCAR shows are no longer Saturday only events
- Mike Joy only gets one opportunity to repeat the same tired factoids (Delaware water table, New England racing trivia, hot rod music at Fontana
- There will not be 32 Daytona 500 practices
- There is an edge for DFS players that rewatch races with the lap data and attentively take notes
- More free time to work on projects around the house, depending on your wife, this might be a con
Cons
- I cannot sell content (I will accept donations for making your DFS process easier, but I cannot pretend that I am providing special insight when there is very little data available)
- I’ll be begging more
- DFS players will focus on the few data points available and end up in the similar place
- There is no longer an edge for players that attentively watch Cup practice weekly
- Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings can be boring if you have nothing else to do
- Less driver interviews for DFS insight
- Less Dale Jr commentary
- The NASCAR experience doesn’t feel full
- The technical connection to NASCAR that is absent in other sports is now gone, and the experience is distant
- Practice allowed DFS players to watch NASCAR without action, it was the last pure form of viewing for DFS players, now it’s always with money on the line
- There will still be Daytona practices somehow
