Better than what we had, but it still keeps the two things I hated about the Chase. Too many races, too many drivers. Should have been five races on five different kinds of drivers for five drivers, but there are two many asses that need kissed because everybody whines if they aren't included...

The ONLY thing in question is why one of the engines failed. The handling of the aircraft after the failure is out there for the whole world to see, and you don't need the NTSB to learn that you should NEVER try to do what the pilot did, ESPECIALLY in THAT airplane. EVERYONE with ****pit time...

He doesn't OWN the company. Big difference.

Some people are big enough that it doesn't matter. (Jim France). With others it just is what it is (Car owners etc). BUT, when you are somewhere in the middle, you have to know your place, and Steve Phelps got a little too big for his britches. The owner of the company I work for can criticize...

He did himself in as much as anything. No matter whatever else he did or didn't do, the Richard Childress comments could NOT be allowed to stand. As I said a month or so ago, five minutes after he's gone, NOBODY will remember he was here. Or CARE.

Well, it probably ISN'T that important for MOST of us to know, but if you fly one of these aircraft or fly IN one, it could save lives. Regardless of what the ultimate issue was that triggered this tragedy, I don't think there is ANY question that the pilot made some SERIOUS mistakes, and...

Sounds like a local issue, not a federal one. Perhaps the development permits for the trailer park should have required more hydrants. My experience with rural fire departments is that they usually make having significant water capacity a priority, at least enough to get by until reinforcements...

She has also been pretty adamant that she doesn't want to work forever either, and she has a son coming up through the ranks, and if she's smart she will take some time to truly enjoy it.

The question I have is whether Brad will be subjected to all the crap Chase had to put up with when it happened to him?

Just to throw this out there, the Pilot Debrief show on Youtube has a video out covering the flight profile of the Biffle plane. Being the professional he is, Hoover draws no conclusions yet, but it seems apparent that that plane was in some kind of serious trouble almost from the moment the...

Denny is as much of a working class hero as most of the garage, and a hell of a lot more than most. Doesn't mean you have to like him, but you SHOULD be honest about him.

Well, he's an absolute first ballot Hall of Farmer, regardless of whether you like him or not. The same goes for Joey Logano and Kyle Busch.

I'm not so sure. The more people in the industry talk, the more you find people that don't like Larry at all.

Honestly, probably both. I'm on your side on this one though. If Rick and Roger and Joe would have refused to play ball from the start, I guarantee you this would have gotten settled long ago. Roger has a problem though. As the owner of a racing series, supporting the lawsuit was inviting the...

The teams wanted something, and NASCAR was offering NOTHING, so it's pretty hard to frame this as a NASCAR win. Also, sometimes perception is more important than reality, and the perception among everyone but the most dedicated NASCAR homers, is that they did a terrible job defending themselves...
