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...

RFK Racing needs a charter for the #60 and Ryan Preece in 2027. Last year the #60 used a charter leased from Rick Ware Racing. This year, RWR has sold their second charter to Legacy, and Legacy has leased it to RFK. Legacy will put that charter on the grid in 2027 so BKez needs to look elsewhere.

HMS has announced that Justin Allgaier will pilot the 48 this weekend. Sucks for Bowman, but he's not yet ready to return to the car...

Collectively, the Pick 'Em contestants made bad picks of historic proportions. > Only 3 top-10's. > Only 6 top-20 picks (including the 3 top-10's plus 3 others). > There were 20 picks that scored P30 or higher. Such a week was very tricky to navigate, but I managed to remain firmly in last...

There is a theory (discussed among The Illuminati in whispered tones in the darkest corners of the internet) that Nascar's confidential and secret settlement with 23XI & FRM included a special secret clause... that inspection procedures for the Plaintiffs' cars would overlook bore, stroke, and...
