You're right the current qualifying format is bizarre. It's quite bizarre to watch the cars just sit for 10 minutes doing nothing. I haven't watched "qualifying" for quite some time now.
NASCAR: *keeps 2014-2018 qualifying format* Fans: OMG NASCAR!!! This is so stupid! We want single car qualifying back! NASCAR: *goes back to single car qualifying* Also fans: NASCAR!!! Why did you make the change?!? It’s SO boring! NASCAR: 😔
Zachary Robinson you are right Nascar can't win for losing. Social media is what is killing the sport because the fans can never be happy. It will never be like the late 90s early 2000s ever again. People just need to realize that.
This Qualifying session is part of the reason that their stands are no longer filling up. This is a joke to racing. and As bad or worse than their stage racing which equates to 2 heat races and a main event at your local track. I tuned in to watch qualifying and saw that what a disappointment. Sorry NASCAR you blew it this time .
What the heck is the point of the timer if they're only supposed to get two laps in anyway? Either revert back to the single car quali format or let everyone do as many laps as they want within the given time.
It was a terrible result, but this qualifying format is exciting -- concerning the timeout rule...instead of setting it at the flagstand, set it at pit road exit....
Can someone explain what all just happened?? As a person who watches pretty much only the Daytona 500, I’m not to caught up on how everything works in stock car so I’m so confused as to why they sat and what just happened
Since the cars have reduced horsepower this season, the draft plays a huge role in single lap speeds. No one wants to go first because as you saw in the video, the drivers that were farther back in the group had a greater pull from the drivers ahead of them.
As someone who has watched nascar since the mid 90's I have never seen anything this stupid before. Due to the stupid package drafting is more important than actually having speed...in qualifying!
Old style time trials all alone on the track is the best way to showcase a drivers talent and see if they can take the pressure. I loved time trial qualifying in my Pro Late Model. Now I know not to watch any more cup qualifying.
Chop the spoiler and splitter, narrower tires and give them back crazy engines so the cars are harder to drive and easier to make mistakes. The Xfinity cars look harder to drive now.
Now this is bizarre twist of events. If a Formula 1 driver waiting patiently during the 10 minute 3rd qualifying session, drivers are prepared for a lap run which starts in 5 minutes.
I still have no idea how this new format works, or what the strategy is, but I kind of like it! Qualifying has always been so boring to watch. This is different and brings a little excitement to it. Im on board
This is the dumbest qualifying format I have ever seen. Lets sit on pit road and do nothing while the fans wasted money on a ticket to watch the cars go around the track. I watch most NASCAR races but stopped paying attention to qualifying long ago. Thank god I did cuz I'd slap myself if I waited around for that time and time again.
Terrible, driver's gotta get the benefit of the doubt in bang-bang plays like that, there's no way either of them could actually see the flag, and it's not the first time a would-be pole lap has been erased by this terrible format
“BS BOWMAN DIDNT WIN THE POLE!” You heard NASCAR. Bowman and Elliott didn’t get there quick enough, yet you all blame NASCAR. Fox’s timing is unofficial
And Jeff Gordon called it. As they were rolling off pit road, he said, "I don't think Elliot and Bowman got off pit road soon enough to get two laps in."
Make NASCAR great again! No more turning left. Turn the cars around go the other way. Why not give it a try? Who decided we would go left and counterclockwise anyway? Car set-up should be easy but we'll find out who the real drivers are.
Drivers and teams always make the best out of the rules they have been given. If this is the way to end up on pole, this is the way they will go about it. It's NASCAR's job to not make the sport look this silly.
I like they took the Qualifying idea from Formula 1 but you should not be able to leave your pit box. You should have to stay until you are ready to go
This doesn’t prove who has the fastest car, and it basically telling the guys why strive for having the fastest car because qualifying is a joke.. #nascar(is)dead
Not a fan of this. What was wrong with the original qualifying format of single car runs? If this was going to be the session. Why use a timer? Instead of a timer how bout three laps(one that can be used as a warmup) and two at full speed? My gimmick is better than what NASCAR is using right here.
Single car runs have always been the traditional way to get the field setup. Long and boring has never been the case, yet if they keep going at this group format there will be a significant crash and it will be funny if it actually takes a top team out of the race.
@@rcracer8872 yea racing is very exciting and NASCAR is the most boring form of racing. Maybe if every track was a restrictor plate track, I've been to mile and a half track races and only reason I didn't fall asleep is because of how loud they are
It's pathetic. Real chance of a serious wreck because of the way that they wait for someone to start. If someone in back starts fast, but a car in front comes down, wham....
This is like doing presentations in class, no one wants to go first 😂😂😂
I would just go just to get it over with
(Not in nascar btw)
Also, kinda like being the opening band at a rock concert...
ROFL!
You're right the current qualifying format is bizarre. It's quite bizarre to watch the cars just sit for 10 minutes doing nothing. I haven't watched "qualifying" for quite some time now.
Thats why we should go to single car at all tracks
@@fusionattraction4044 with group qualifying, you can have the fastest car and not sit on the pole.
Same thing happened at F1 just now in Monza. Mad
Anyone here after F1 Monza 2019 Q3?
Raghunandan Reddy C me

I didn't think you could make this qualifying format look like a joke. I guess never doubt Nascar!...
They went 4 wide on pit road and almost wrecked
I don't care who you are but it takes skill to not wreck in that situation 😂
@@racerforlife i swear he can say the dumbest things and still get 100 likes
i think it does take skill to wreck
This is weird. I prefer the way NASCAR Qualified back in the 90,s. Single car qualifying.
When the teacher asks who wants to present first:
Lol
So true😂
This is why Nascar can't keep casual fans like they had in the early 2000's.....I have no f'n clue what was going on there.
This is joke right, lol no wonder people are tuning out.
This is about the most stupid way of qualifying there is. Make them run by themselves.
NASCAR: *keeps 2014-2018 qualifying format*
Fans: OMG NASCAR!!! This is so stupid! We want single car qualifying back!
NASCAR: *goes back to single car qualifying*
Also fans: NASCAR!!! Why did you make the change?!? It’s SO boring!
NASCAR: 😔
Like, seriously, everyone says that NASCAR is dying. In reality, it's being straight-up murdered by the fans.
The fans did the same thing with the 2014 package 😤
Zachary Robinson you are right Nascar can't win for losing. Social media is what is killing the sport because the fans can never be happy. It will never be like the late 90s early 2000s ever again. People just need to realize that.
Yeah its the fans that are killing it not the sport itself
Those were obviously different fans
Well at least Hendrick has fast cars right now, let's see if they can pull it off this Sunday.
Goooo JJ
@@iikinglegend2091 Go Byron and Bowman
All 3 of us r routing for the 4 different HMS cars
#di9
I root for all the Hendrick guys, but root for Elliott the most since he took over the 24.
Deja vu! This makes me think of what Clint Bowyer had to say back in 2015: "It's stupid, there's no sense in doing this."
When your teacher assigns a paper due in two weeks and you wait until the night before to write it
This is ridiculous.... just send them one at a time, instead of waiting forever.... this is just the dumbest
Yeah, let’s watch cars go one at a time around a mile and a half track again. That’s super exciting 🙄🙄
UnicornMaster27 qualifying doesn’t need to be exciting whatsoever, this isn’t formula one
UnicornMaster27
So you want to watch cars waiting forever to go on track?
I couldn't help but laugh at the beginning. I'm so glad they uploaded this!
Even though the classic single-car qualifying rounds take a while, it shows what each driver is capable of on-track...
Please keep uploading everything for those of us who work a lot. Thanks fox sports.
I don't know what I just watched.
Nascar never disapoints ,,..
They do all they can to make this unwatchable !
Cut it out ..this sucks !!!!
Unwatchable? You just watched it!!!
Fike 44 lmao
What a great 38 Car and congratulations to Kevin Harvick
This Qualifying session is part of the reason that their stands are no longer filling up. This is a joke to racing. and As bad or worse than their stage racing which equates to 2 heat races and a main event at your local track. I tuned in to watch qualifying and saw that what a disappointment. Sorry NASCAR you blew it this time .
@Jay Bradley I understand what's going on. I just don't like it
Man these first 3 minutes of Qualifying were the fastest speeds ive ever seen in these bois
I was able to slam 2 beers before they took to the track 🍺😀
Nobody wants to go first 😂
lol
It’s stupid !! Qualify just like the old days . One at a time
This is crazy, we need to go back to single car qualifying, like Newman said!
I liked when they did single car runs. But also like the strategy involved in group qualifying.
Qualifications are defined in determining the starting positions. The last thing they needed to do was have qualifying races!
@@iankhan4614 They've always done it at Daytona for as long as I can remember.
Thinking man's game mighty Kevin Harvick get her done son
This is so dumb. Why don't they make the final round 2 minutes long?
Man this was actually entertaining but you can just never have people not make a lap to qualify IMO it was enjoyable when it actually ran as intended
HARVICK
BOWMAN
This reminds me of the tricycle race they used to have at a local track at intermission. So lame!
Harvick, boom!!! whaaattttt!!!!!
This is awesome. They need to show this in the pre race telecast for sure.
What the heck is the point of the timer if they're only supposed to get two laps in anyway? Either revert back to the single car quali format or let everyone do as many laps as they want within the given time.
NASCAR needs to pull its head out of its backside and single car qualify. This is just stupid.
Oh boy...wait till you hear about the final round of qualifying that happened 2 weeks later
It was a terrible result, but this qualifying format is exciting -- concerning the timeout rule...instead of setting it at the flagstand, set it at pit road exit....
This isn't the way it is supposed to be wth

@@doubleaalanderson4571 I don't know, it still seemed like the fastest cars made it to the final round and qualified well.
Already played this game, need to mandate stay in garage or go qualify no sitting.
Exactly, or even better, you shut off your car during the qualifying time, you go back to the garage, or even even better back to the hauler.
Just go back to regular time qualifying. This way sucks
Man... Nascar is done
I dont think they are done but man they have to stop changing shit
then you wonder why the fans are leaving . This is stupid.
Nascar sure is making it hard to keep watching
Qualifying used to be fun to watch as a spectator. Not anymore.
When is the race going to happen
Old style time trials all alone on the track is the best way to showcase a drivers talent and see if they can take the pressure. I loved time trial qualifying in my Pro Late Model. Now I know not to watch any more cup qualifying.
I am so out of the loop with NASCAR. So many new rules I don't know what they were all doing in this video.
I loved this!!
Chop the spoiler and splitter, narrower tires and give them back crazy engines so the cars are harder to drive and easier to make mistakes. The Xfinity cars look harder to drive now.
David Ragan 6th!
This is the stupidest and weirdest qualifying.
Now this is bizarre twist of events. If a Formula 1 driver waiting patiently during the 10 minute 3rd qualifying session, drivers are prepared for a lap run which starts in 5 minutes.
if theyre all just gonna sit there then just make the session like a minute and a half. then theyll go out right away.
I still have no idea how this new format works, or what the strategy is, but I kind of like it! Qualifying has always been so boring to watch. This is different and brings a little excitement to it. Im on board
Gordon called it. Mike said they did, nascar said nay.

What did you think of this qualifying session?
AWESOME
BS that Bowman didnt win the pole
Terrible, driver's gotta get the benefit of the doubt in bang-bang plays like that, there's no way either of them could actually see the flag, and it's not the first time a would-be pole lap has been erased by this terrible format
@@caydena.3943 Aww 😭
What a joke!
Watch qualifying be more interesting than the actual race.
From now on, Nascar should give them 2 minutes for the last round of qualifying, no more 5 minutes and waiting
@John Haas sorry you are right. I'll fix it
Now this is racing
The second pole for the mustang
So nascar is adopting the formula 1 way of qualifying now
I hate those tactic games ! Just race !
“BS BOWMAN DIDNT WIN THE POLE!”
You heard NASCAR. Bowman and Elliott didn’t get there quick enough, yet you all blame NASCAR. Fox’s timing is unofficial
And Jeff Gordon called it. As they were rolling off pit road, he said, "I don't think Elliot and Bowman got off pit road soon enough to get two laps in."
at 2:58 , Ya know there is a standard second word usually when you say "cluster"....
I prefer it to the single car format but I’d change it slightly. Cars have to be on track within 30 seconds of the green flag, best 3 laps count.
Track standing is why velodrome racing isn't the biggest human power ever
SO CLOSE!!! Bowman and Elliott would have been first row and would have been awesome
BRING BACK THE DRUNK THAT USED TO RUIN NASCAR?
Make NASCAR great again! No more turning left. Turn the cars around go the other way. Why not give it a try? Who decided we would go left and counterclockwise anyway? Car set-up should be easy but we'll find out who the real drivers are.
now if they could figure out how to make that last 1 munite exciting for the whole qual session.... id want my money back
Someone Make nascar great again soon
John Haas can’t change everything in one day man.
I have no clue what's going on. Why are they not racing but just sitting on the pit road.
Why dont they just go Mario Kart style and start where you last finished would make more sense then this stupidity
Because Miyamoto forgot to enter the chat 😂
This was very unprofessional by the drivers though. A pathetic showing.
Drivers and teams always make the best out of the rules they have been given. If this is the way to end up on pole, this is the way they will go about it. It's NASCAR's job to not make the sport look this silly.
Wow
I like they took the Qualifying idea from Formula 1 but you should not be able to leave your pit box. You should have to stay until you are ready to go
Elliott and Bowman should have been front row
This is literally every qualifying session in formula one. Nothing bizarre at all. It called strategy
This isn't F1 though is it stupid?
I am literally a curse for every motorsports driver i root for
@Zachary Collie ok, I'm an elliot fan, why can't I and why are you telling me not to., not upset but im wondering why
@Zachary Collie omg dude I missed that so bad. Haha I love Ellioy sorry dude but you'll never find me rooting for Busch
Root for Kyle Busch
@@__boomer2__ sorry bro not gonna happen xd
@@zrob8 pretty please? Take one for the team buddy...xD
I honestly like it
Why were they waiting in pit lane ? Tactical, psychological move ?
This doesn’t prove who has the fastest car, and it basically telling the guys why strive for having the fastest car because qualifying is a joke.. #nascar(is)dead
They should just make the final round 1:20 minutes long
Since they have went to this type of "qualifying" , we have stopped watching. Just go back to single cars and might tune in again.
Not a fan of this. What was wrong with the original qualifying format of single car runs? If this was going to be the session. Why use a timer? Instead of a timer how bout three laps(one that can be used as a warmup) and two at full speed? My gimmick is better than what NASCAR is using right here.

Shorten the clock to three minutes?
even on pit road, these rules are a joke
That was so funny bizarre cool weird strange. No idea what to call it...
Fun yes! But will soon become old if it continues.
No, NASCAR, just... no
0:47 the irony
I didnt think nascar could get anymore boring
NASCAR is not boring at all the racing is very exciting
@@rcracer8872 yea racing is very exciting and NASCAR is the most boring form of racing. Maybe if every track was a restrictor plate track, I've been to mile and a half track races and only reason I didn't fall asleep is because of how loud they are
Should just put bumpers on the cars and let them be bumper cars! What a joke NASCAR
absolutely,what a joke!!!!! What is this the X games? Nascar is all done!
NASCAR fans are the biggest whiners ever. This was entertaining and interesting. The two laps had suspense and strategy.
Try heat racing
David RAGAN is sixth
watch out for Austin dillion this week 3 takes a win here
It's pathetic. Real chance of a serious wreck because of the way that they wait for someone to start. If someone in back starts fast, but a car in front comes down, wham....
This is stupid let’s go back to the old qualifying.
I miss the old single car qualifying
