The NASCAR season is finally upon us as the Cup Series descended upon The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the second running of The Clash. Will Porter and Jacob Simpson are here to break down the on track action, as well as look ahead to what the future of the event may behold. Before the races, cars hit the track for practice and qualifying. One car in particular, piloted by rookie Ty Gibbs, spontaneously combusted while running practice laps. Is this going to be a trend moving forward or was this incident isolated? From the drop of the green flag for the heat races, there was evidence of more aggression from the field than we saw in 2022. Was this a product of experience with the car and the track being familiar to the teams? Or was there more urgency to make the main? Beginning the day before in practice and qualifying, as the racing moved into the night, tires and track temperature would become main themes throughout the weekend. Did these things make any difference in the main event? In the main, we saw two completely different segments: one tame, another chaotic. Apart from breaking down all the happenings on track, what would or even should change about the event moving forward? And finally, all throughout the weekend, there were rumblings about the coliseum hosing a points race in the future. What would that look like logistically? Could it work? Would it even be a legitimate race?

Before we could get into some on track action, NASCAR made a few adjustments to their rules for the upcoming season. And with that, Will Porter and Jacob Simpson come to break them down point by point. A major change at road courses will be no more stage breaks. What does this mean for team strategy? There are a few new things to keep an eye on while on pit road. Are there going to be new pit stop interference penalties? How about the updated loose wheel penalties? Speaking of wheels, new wet tires during damp race conditions will be available at certain race tracks this year. Is this a good thing? What does it mean for racing at these tracks? Will we even see them be used? Other on track items to watch will also will include the wider restart zone for the first 5 races of the season, the new wording in the NASCAR rulebook essentially banning a similar move to Ross Chastain's memorable Hail Melon wall ride at Martinsville, and the Damaged Vehicle Policy getting an extension. What will it all mean? And will any of it really come to be relevant or put into practice? Off the race track, the points requirement for playoff eligibility has been removed across all premier series in NASCAR. Will it end up mattering when the playoffs roll around? Oh, and the drivers meeting will be back, if only for 10 minutes before the driver introductions at every race. To cap this episode of the show off? A preview of The Clash at the Coliseum, Part II. Can Joey Logano win it again? Who can spoil the party? Will round two be as good as the first? Only time will tell. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scoringpylonpod/message

It's still the pre-season, but it's never too early to discuss drivers in their new homes for the upcoming year. Will Porter and Jacob Simpson talk about the moves and what to look for in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. Tyler Reddick's move to 23XI replaces a future Hall of Fame driver in Kurt Busch. What does the season look like for Reddick? What about for 23XI? Ty Dillon pairs with Corey LaJoie at Spire Motorsports as both rides become full-time. What does Dillon's season look like? Changes didn't just happen in the Cup Series. The Craftsman Truck Series sees teams change manufacturers and drivers like Hailie Deegan finding new homes. Will this mean success for them? The Xfinity Series had some big names called up to go full-time Cup racing in 2023. Who will step up and become the new class of the Xfinity field? And finally, who can forget Kyle Busch and his move away from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing. Could this mean a refresh for a seasoned veteran in the Cup Series? Or will there be some growing pains?  Come check out another exciting episode of The Scoring Pylon! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scoringpylonpod/message
