    2027 Silly Season

    It may be only $5 million if the car in question is a Rick Ware car or some other below-average runner. Trying to remember back to the antitrust lawsuit, my recollection is that the battle over the temporary injunction was roughly $25 million for 23XI and a little less for FRM... each team...

    ALL STAR PRE - RACE thread @ Dover.

    Whoever posted earlier about money being left on the table, needs to look at this tweet. Cup All Star purse $3.1 million for the entire field. Purses for points races start about $12 million and some races are much higher. I would venture to guess that one Cup team will be profitable this...

    2027 NASCAR schedule news/rumors

    I'm not so sure that it's impossible to race at both Chicagoland and on a Chicago street course. I won't bet against that. Just a gut feel, nothing more.

    The 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500

    A question for those who follow IndyCar a lot closer than I do: Does IndyCar still have the procedural sleight-of-hand whereby every car that's a lap down gets a free lap on every yellow flag? In Nascar parlance, does every lap-down dog get a lucky dog from every caution period? When NBC had...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Watkins Glen

    Hey guys, I appreciate the hyperbole, but the Ghost Of Dan Gurney is calling on line 2.

    Nascar Cup Series at Watkins Glenn Pre - Race Thread

    My comment was a response to @wi_racefan hoping that the new line at The Glen was not even available in simulation. The Daytona road course was available in sim for (virtual) practice and setup preparation. That's not much, but at least it is something. During COVID we had numerous examples of...

    F1 2026 News/Misc.

    Does anyone believe the FIA is serious about returning F1 power to normally aspirated V-8 ICE's by 2030 (with OEM agreement) or 2031 (unilateral FIA decision)? Luke Smith at The Athletic does. I can only hope... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7255111/2026/05/06/f1-v8-engines-return/

    Nascar Cup Series at Watkins Glenn Pre - Race Thread

    I strongly disagree. It's a sport, not an entertainment property. It's the highest form of racing in North America. Its purpose is for elite racers to compete for trophies and championships. They deserve an opportunity to set up their cars. It may be hilarious if the Yankees and Red Sox show...

    Cup RACE thread --- Texas

    Your generalization about Nemechek is generally true, but if your intent is to somehow excuse what Kyle Busch did to the 42 on the backstretch at Texas... well, you're just wrong. There is no excuse for that. It is unacceptable behavior. It should receive a stiff penalty, a week's suspension IMO.

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2026 - Texas

    I'm tempted by the 8 this week. There's a new crew chief, and the "Hawthorne Effect" is an actual thing. They qualified well, and I sorta gotta use that car somewhere. But the turn 2 wall is also an actual thing... I'm scared off by that... :idunno:

    Nascar Cup series at Texas Pre- Race Thread

    If polluting nearly every thread with the same ol' childish trolling is your idea of fun, that is a pitiful state to be in. I think you are better than that.

    Nascar Cup series at Texas Pre- Race Thread

    On July 4th of this year, the United States will celebrate its 250th birthday. I'd like to suggest that this milestone would be a great time for Mister Revman to get a new NARRATIVE to repeat endlessly going forward, because his old narrative is flat worn out. Mister Revman, you are smart...

    RFK Racing News

    Still beating the bushes and making sure every charter owner knows RFK is a willing and able buyer somewhere in the price range of $40 to $80 million. Wise men often say, "Hope is not a plan." But it seems that's where RFK is on this deal, unfortunately...

    Alessandro Zanardi

    Ciao e grazie, Alessandro. Godspeed. It was a fabulous auto racing career, but Alex Zanardi's greatest accomplishments came later, in my opinion, as he turned his indomitable spirit to handcycling. He won several of the world's premier marathons, including Venice, Rome, and New York City. At...
