I recommend watching the Attica feature from last night (5/14/2026). Really good field of cars with so many in the region for the Eldora event and it showed.

I was pretty surprised to see that about Chicago but that inspired me to look at the seat map. Yikes. IDK about them being able to find a logistics firm that will need that space as much now either. Oopsie.

I kinda wish she was getting these opportunities 15 years ago when she was in her prime.

I remember seeing him loop it in front of me in Austin 2023. Still a long time ago.

I like how a chart showing the same two guys running side by side trading the lead is being shown as evidence that, contrary to literally everyone online and everyone's eyes, Cup cars can get out of line and make moves.

People can watch the O'Reilly Series or Trucks and compare.

People have already traced the addresses of where the cops did their search warrants and one was his co-pilot from the relief flights. This is all very, very sad. Given the FAA's report on the crash and the fact that it was pilot error, I don't think that it's likely they did something to the...

The car punches too big a hole in the air while it also flips too easily and is way stiffer and deforms less on impact than prior versions. It's just not good for this kind of racing. You could take away all the gimmicks and stages and it'll still be the same thing. Until the cars can get out of...

Wait, I thought WhiningSmoke was a gimmick/parody account. These were real takes the whole time?

A long time ago a wise man said "You can't put together carbon fiber tubs in a garage with your friends."

I have been told that Legge does a better job of getting herself in front of sponsors than other female drivers and that's how she keeps getting rides in major series. That seems strange to me but I don't know to argue that it isn't true.

There was no other way I think to get the parties to agree other than to do it in the way they (IMSA/NASCAR/ACO/FIA) did it. And ultimately the differences in expenditures and priorities were going to take a toll unless this was a commercial smash hit. I don't know that it really has been even...

He provided a human response to his first win and that led me to watch the documentary short that NASCAR produced last season around the Coke 600-Firekeepers 400 stretch. My exposure to him has primarily been seeing him in late model; truthfully when you see these wunderkinds most of them wind...

NASCAR has been looking and hiding from a guy like Cason Hocevar for a looooong time. He made his way in though and they will ultimately be richer for it. Can't wait to see him run late models here in Michigan later this summer at Berlin and Owosso.

This is the same guy who kicked prime Kevin Harvick to the curb in favor of his grandson and loses money racing while he makes money fabricating defense industry stuff ('member the lawsuit? pepperidge farm 'members). He contains multitudes.
