Sure looked like Bell was headed for a disappointing night until those late cautions changed everything and he capitalized. Track was gnarly.

Sounds like he already decided to go back to NZ for a big race there this weekend.

Hahn was flying. Good racing in the second half of the race. Timms made it back to 11th after getting punted and Beason made it to 12th.

Impressive recovery by Beason, hopefully he can continue it in the main.

Can we get a do-over on last week's bonus questions? :D Divisional Round (3 points each) 1/17 @4:30 ET Buffalo 1/17 @8:00 ET Seattle 1/18 @3:00 ET New England 1/18 @6:30 ET LA Rams Tie-Breaker/Bonus: Which team will score the most points this week? LA Rams

The only coach who survived the 2025 AFC North is Zac Taylor, and most would probably consider him the worst coach of the four.

This canard persists more than two decades later. No, there is no "renewed interest" shown in viewership or other metrics when whatever version of the playoffs they are using that year starts. NASCAR interest and viewership have always followed the same path through the season. Highest for the...

They ran tens of bajillions of simulations to come up with a system in which the top performing driver through most of the season will finish at least in the top five at the end. Er, most of the time. The genius at work here is something to behold.

That escalated quickly. Moved over to Chili Bowl and did a double take when I saw the final score.

Nice charge by Danner in the closing laps.

Larson is on cruise and doesn't look like he has to drive it very hard. McIntosh has had a strong night but may be fading.

Mark Martin (and Dale Jr. with his more diplomatic posture) deserves enormous credit for forcing the progress that was made. I don't fault him for giving his public blessing to this. He didn't need to force himself out on an island if this was the best they could accomplish. That said, the...

Maybe, maybe not. This is a pretty significant retreat. They're touting "no eliminations" as a big selling point after more than a decade of promoting nothing but eliminations. High HP then low HP then higher HP again. Leave the Brickyard oval only to return again. Try to get off as many...

ESPN wants their wild card game there, and the priority on the big regular season finale goes to to NBC over them. I don't really mind it. But I do mind having to watch this Steelers team in the playoffs. The Ravens were a hot mess, but at least they would have been entertaining in one way or...

All else aside, the increase to 55 points for the race winner is an unmitigated improvement. Could have gone even higher.
