    NASCAR on TNT

    With this race, there wasn't a ton they could have done with it. Everyone was on a pretty comparable fuel strategy, and most the contenders on the same tire strategy. And with one driver in front all day, not much in the way of "battles" to talk about. I didn't enjoy it, but it's not like...

    I agree, and I think that's the biggest reason Hamlin isn't under contract next season. If Reddick opts out, Gibbs could snatch him up and put him in the 11, leaving Hamlin to fill the 45.

    Well, I'm not knocking FRM. McDowell said that he wanted long term stability, and FRM said they couldn't offer that, which is looking VERY true. They were planning a pretty big gamble, after all. And, to be fair, I really like FRM's drivers. With so many aging and borderline Cup drivers...

    Spire is looking pretty good right now, strong runs from McDowell and Hocevar. Sure, Haley might be lagging by comparison, but that's still above several other full-timers in Cup.

    If The Onion covered NASCAR, this would absolutely be the angle. "Daniel Suarez looks for new minority group to disparage in promotion effort"

    Bonehead of the week: Chicago

    It's worse than ho-hum. It's just a bad track. All the walls and narrow corridors make for nowhere to go in accidents, resulting in a lot of caution-worthy incidents, but because there are so few laps, a caution is a big deal, so every wreck is this horrible decision of "do we stop the race...

    I thought part of the agreement was that Ware remains a driver

    What happened to Gibbs on that pit? That was a massive drop

    Well, I guess Atlanta really is a super speedway now

    Silly Season 2025

    Stenhouse was on pace for an unprecedented year, unsustainable imo, but still great. Boyd was PART of that, though I'll say here it was more dumb luck. Bell needed a capable spotter due to unrelated Gibbs bull****. I think it was just something that worked out. But I was commenting on the...

    Two top seeds pretty much eliminated. Good day for NASCAR bracket eliminations. "Throw your brackets away. They've all been busted" They know. Also, welcome @candaces! No video issues here

    I'm surprised Draft Kings didn't put bets on the rain

    Nah I get it. When he only had to manage one other competent driver, he could get by all right. But now he's leading two others, one of whom needs work. That's a tall order.

    Well, I'm not confident it will "pass." I knew this would be a bad year, because obviously his focus was going to be on getting Preece settled. He's an owner first, driver second. I get that. But Preece isn't looking great, though still minimally viable, and Brad might have to still work...
