Daily Driver

In this episode of The Nerd Out series, let's look at what has changed for Stock Eliminator, Super Comp, and Super Gas from the Division 1 finale in Reading. 

Continuing on with The Nerd Out series, this episode is dedicated to the NHRA Lucas Oil title chase in Competition Eliminator. If you were an avid listener of the Sportsman Drag Racing Podcast, you know that Jed and I (OK, more me than Jed!) loved to "Nerd Out" this time of year and break down the NHRA Lucas Oil title chases. I still love the exercise (and a surprising number of you seem to concur), so I'm running it back over the next series of Daily Driver episodes.

It’s natural to want to know where you stand in a points chase. Obviously, your main focus is on the things that you can control. 

But that doesn’t mean that we’re not aware of the things that are beyond our control.

Today, we'll kick things off with a deep dive into Stock Eliminator!

Up to this point I've talked about the 3 winning finish line strategies and ensuring you have situational awareness in your own lane when gameplanning. Now, I want to finish with talking about gameplanning in reference to the opponent in the other lane. 

In part 2 of this 3 part mini series on Gameplanning, I want to talk about situational awareness. When racers think of gameplanning, we have a tendency to think about it in reference to an opponent. I'd argue that 95% of a successful gameplan is focused on what is happening in your own lane.
