Just played it and turned some laps at North Wilkesboro which was pretty fun. Also did Atlanta, wasn’t used to the new configuration of that track but also fun.
I actually just paid for my tickets yesterday for NASCAR’s return to Chicagoland next July. We’ll be rolling 10 deep. And best news is my ticket agent said the race might be a Sunday Night Prime Time race. I’m just as excited about going to races as you are, they’re a good time.
Well there’s a whole generation of fans that grew up with The Chase and then this playoff system, that was imprinted on them during their formative years as a fan. It’s really all they know. I try to be empathetic in that regard, I mean being a 40 year old now it’s rough seeing things that gave...
I’m old enough to remember when Jeff Gordon was added as the 13th driver after Clint got an itch. Race manipulation has been going on since Game 7 moments were deemed quintessential
I feel like the longer it goes the more likely it is they're going back to a full season. When he says things like you what you illustrated there in the tweet, they're leaving bread crumbs. and the fact Southern Jesus has now lost his shyness about his disdain for the playoffs, I think its more...
I also dont want it misconstrued I'm a full season points guy, I've hated the playoffs since day 1 and The Chase before that. Simple reason being: A points reset with 3/4 of the season finished never seemed right to me and it truly nullified the body of work that these teams and drivers work so...

We were low key planning to attend this one as the Mr Olympia body building contest is the day before the race so we would have flown out Thursday night, hung out Friday, attended that show in Vegas on Saturday and then went to the race the next day. The difficulty of having a baby sitter stay...
eh. I can say Jeff Gordon would have won 7 too. We never have a way of knowing. Jimmie would have won a Cup for sure in the Winston Cup format, you're exactly right he was in it until the final month of his rookie season in 02. The exact amount? No way of knowing, but I do think Jimmie would...
That’s it too. Joey would win a title in any format, his talent exceeds whatever system is used to crown a champion and his team is that good. It’s a shame folks on socials are saying he wouldn’t be a champion in a full season format. That’s false, he’s just that good. It’s the system that needs...
I too didn’t know this because I had a sever case of Playoff Fever as Ross was doing Ross things and reversing his way out of the always compelling playoffs.
