The depth of the fields in sprint car racing is something else right now. Just wait until we get to the crown jewel events. National Open is one in particular that I'm excited about because of the strength of the top PA teams right now (most notably Freddie Rahmer) and the number of guys in HL...

Corey Day ran the top when no one else would or in Larson's case ultimately, could. That speaks volumes about him. When I watched all the NARC races from 2024 I would constantly quip about how Corey Day was doing Corey Day things because Corey Day is a unique talent in sprint car racing.

I cannot believe after all these years that there are people who think that just by being mean online, they can get Lance Stroll to stop being in F1. I don't even believe the whole "Lance is ready to step aside" chatter from last year at this point. What evidence has actually come forth for that...

Basically. Keep in mind the engine will be at high revs the whole time to charge the battery in the new regs too. Just to share this post from Reddit (which is pretty much panning out in real time):

I just meant that I gave myself no other legal out for watching F1 once I cancelled ESPN. At least if he has that, he can always watch that way though F1Pro is a million times better.

Cosigned. That said, I also gave up ESPN so if that's not in your cards, I get it.

Two things: I did some research on 3Chi last year (up to and including sampling their product) and it's a really small firm doing extraction of Delta 8 THC from legal hemp. I don't know where they got the money to advertise in Cup from, honestly. Never made any sense, which made me think it is...

That's really impressive TBH. Also perfect for this because everyone knows you can't actually pass at Monaco, so having them be single file is OK.

Lol maybe Sunshine can actually speak to a woman without treating them like garbage if that's the case. I heard the "stole PPM's girl" rumors and you know what? It doesn't involve me. Like anything, social media signal boosts those most willing to say extreme things regardless of whether or...

"Can't wait" to see The Chaz cut a 20 minute video about this topic.

The racing tonight has been absolutely insane. Can't say enough positive things. Only issue is that the Flo stream has been very poorly working tonight for me. Apparently I'm not alone in this, so I'm not sure what that says.

The drivers generally have to as part of sponsor activation. That being said, of course things have changed because the nature of sponsorship has been changed to include a lot more Business-to-Business activity versus Business-to-Consumer. The reduced appearances and such are directly related to...

This is the 2005 ISC Annual Report: https://www.annualreports.com/HostedData/AnnualReportArchive/i/NASDAQ_ISCA_2005.pdf This is the 2018 ISC Annual Report: https://www.annualreports.com/HostedData/AnnualReports/PDF/NASDAQ_ISCA_2018.pdf Is admissions way down? Yeah. "Motorsports Related...

Attendance was down in 2019 about 60% (same as ratings). You're never getting "hundreds of times" out of that from the current figures. Nor is it relevant since TV income exceeds what the ticket income was in adjusted terms. That was true before the new media deal.

Bud, the fact that I know that a 100% decline means it went to zero is pretty indicative of why I have a job doing finance. Please, I am begging you, prove me wrong by telling me how NASCAR lost hundreds of percentage points of attendance.
