Haiden Deegan is a punk, and he is also a talented motocross/supercross rider. He dominated the western region of the junior (250 cc) class in AMA Supercross this year. Competition is weak in the 250 class, and dividing it into western and eastern regions just makes it that much weaker. But it...

This sounds sensible. However, nothing is simple in F1, especially concerning changes in regulations or specifications. I read in The Athletic that several meetings have been scheduled this month to determine what can and should be done immediately, versus what needs to be deferred to 2027...

Heh, heh, heh. One down and two to go...

Observations from my recliner could obviously be completely wrong, but I'll just put it out there... Kyle's race preparation/execution at this point is a three-step process: 1) Lick the stamp, 2) Apply the stamp to the envelope, and 3) Mail it in. Kyle has been doing this job full-time for...

No, I wasn't chapped about that, but "poached" isn't the right word for that deal. That was just an impending free agent signing with another team for a better situation. I don't see any dishonor there, do you? I'm comfortable relying on the contemporaneous media reports and numerous garage...

One other comment from Jordan Bianchi's article about Tyler Reddick really pissed me off... So there you have it in black-and-white. While 23XI & FRM were waging war against the France family monopoly, a war to improve the charter terms to benefit all cup series race teams, multiple team...

^ Having said all that, I still regard Penske as the leading Ford team for now. My reason is that Penske has the better drivers with Blaney and Logano, and I believe Penske also has the better engineering team on board. RFK certainly has their moments, but over a period of time I'd give the nod...

That's a fine, very thoughtful post, Greg. I agree with most everything you said. I think it's a bit ironic that all three of those Penske drivers have had their career shaped (in a beneficial way) by one man other than Roger Penske... Brad Keselowski. Certainly Penske has been the key guy, but...

Probably not a surprise to anyone, but there has been chatter about what Mr. H should do with the 48, what The Captain should do with the 2, etc etc etc. But both Hamlin and Reddick say they are deep in the renewal process, with signatures expected soon. Tyler Reddick, 23XI Racing close in on...

I've been pleading for years for a skill-based meritocracy, but creating a car that's inherently unstable is not the way to do it. Also, creating a car that flies at the slightest provocation is not a good idea either. A decade ago, cup cars were generating circa 3,200 pounds of aerodynamic...

Word on the street in Daytona Beach is that the folks over at PETA have requested the police to perform a welfare check on Jim France's cat... /s

Two years ago, I picked Brad Keselowski for the spring race at Darlington... and he won it. So this year, I returned for another helping of that "secret sauce" and Brad came home P2. Thanks, Brad, I needed that. I have officially escaped from the cellar, at least for one week. :dual9mm:

Exactly. Fueled by hubris and his bullying nature, Gibbs is going to great lengths... via a scorched earth broadside attack against other race teams, with a conspicuous absence of any evidence that these other teams have done anything at all untoward. And ol' @Revman is standing by his side...

Alex Bowman to be sidelined at least four more weeks (three races plus Easter break)...

Neither Gabehart nor JGR look lily white, IMO. I mean, the evidence seems very strong that Gabehart did steal the Gibbs intellectual property, although I haven't seen any evidence that he has yet done anything with it to damage JGR. So maybe a jury should rule he is liable for damages... in the...
