    Who brings more eyes to NASCAR? Cleetus or MJ?

    Well, sometimes the adult in the room has to save everybody else for themselves.

    Who brings more eyes to NASCAR? Cleetus or MJ?

    Talladega may require less skill, but mistakes tend to be magnified, and your mistakes have a far greater chance of impacting (pun intended) someone else, or a lot of someone elses. Now maybe we just accept some realities and take it as par for the course in the Truck Series, but I don't think...

    Who brings more eyes to NASCAR? Cleetus or MJ?

    Thank God, somebody with some sanity finally stepped in. The approval process has been kind of a joke for a long time and this was just making it all the more obvious. If running three laps off the pace and nearly wrecking yourself about four times at Rockingham qualifies you to run at...

    Who brings more eyes to NASCAR? Cleetus or MJ?

    I have my doubts too, but on the other hand at our Easter gathering yesterday, I had two relatives who normally don't even mention. NASCAR ask me about all the success 23XI has been having so far this year. So I guess it's better than nothing.

    His new nickname could be Mr. Octogenarian.

    RFK Racing News

    The way I understand it is because they were already four car teams at the signing of the original charter agreement, and if either would fail to field four full time cars, or sell a charter, they would be restricted to three cars from there on out.

    2024 Next Gen Car

    There is no question in my mind that the cars have too much tire and too much brake. That is something that wasn't properly thought out and tested from day one.

    Legacy to Toyota

    A darn shame he aligned himself with a Yoter team, but welcome aboard Darius! One of Only a handful of artists I've seen in concert more than once.

    The Saga of Chris Gabehart

    Whether the case has any merit or not, I think Much like NASCAR in the 23XI case, JGR is going to lose the PR war on this, and their attitude could hurt the recruitment of top level talent going forward. Something to think about. Not saying it's a total apples to apples comparison, but Rick...

    Myatt Snider---Unexpected Cup Race

    I'm guessing Justin left the track on Saturday and was not available. Normally his backup roles are planned in advance. I'm a little curious why at that point HMS even felt the need to send the 48 back out. There was almost nothing to be gained, but I admire the effort. It DOES send the right...

    Myatt Snider---Unexpected Cup Race

    I wonder if Myatt had any Cup simulator time at any point? Just getting used to the shifter could lead to dome destroyed drivetrain parts.

    The Saga of Chris Gabehart

    Kind of makes the relative tranquility over at HMS all that more amazing.

    The Saga of Chris Gabehart

    Well, he's not the first driver to look like Superman in a JGR Xfinity car only to look very mortal in a Cup car. I know it's extreme, but I STILL would have sat his ass down in that championship race for purposely wrecking his teammate. I don't think that kid has EVER gotten the fact that when...

    2026 Silly Season

    And when they had two cars, one was always better, and when they had three, one was always a little behind. Has anybody EVER gone from the Hendrick "R&D" car and done better elsewhere? And while we are at it, the 25 was as much Papa Joe's as one of Roush's was owned by his mother. Completely...
