Not only does it have nothing to do with the topic, it was so lazily and sloppily added I wonder if an actual human was involved at any point in generating this article. The obvious assumption here is that they think NASCAR fans will click on anything involving breast implants or stripping...

lol the seat counting wasn't the issue I had with the article. This seems about right for an emoji about how I'm feeling at this very moment. :micro:

Nothing against you but I took a screen shot of this part of the article because it encapsulates so much about what is wrong about the current media environment. Sorry to vent about something unrelated. Hey, I'm going to a NASCAR race this year (almost certainly) and there's lots of seats...

So this is an AI post, pretty clearly. Also the notion that franchises are built on the model of gas station skill slots (that's what the AI bot is on about, really, seriously) is...interesting. I don't feel like giving the AI additional data points in a response. Instead, this is how I really...

It used to be for the teams that they just needed to concentrate on winning a single race and then they could turn their attention to the playoffs. Penske's success in the old playoff system was predicated on that. Logano's performance this year isn't that much different from how he did in 2024...

It would have to be ground down - from what I understand the streets are concrete slab construction. Super durable but not great for that kind of patching work.

Yeah, the more I've thought about it today, the less excited I am. I think I am like a lot of fans who have a sort of generalized expectation that in the fire of competition, things will improve quickly. That's an emotional response based on past history. There is a problem with that now. The...

They promised Formula E on steroids and we got it. I'm not 100% sure on this yet as far as whether or not I find the regs and racing appealing but I appreciate that we at least get separation between cars.

Watching cars get out of the throttle to recharge batteries is a thing. I guess we'll find out just how many fans are primarily interested in F1 for the technical/engineering challenge.

Good thing the FOM protected us from having to watch an incompetent squad like Cadillac for so long in favor of the Big Brains in charge of teams like Williams and Aston Martin. /s

As long as he does badly, it's actually fine. It would be a lot worse for NASCAR if this dude finishes top ten in a Grand National race this weekend. I've actually been pleasantly surprised that he's managed to wreck on his own: I figured he'd be better than that when it came to Daytona or...

I'm very aware. I went to the DFW area twice post-COVID to attend boxing matches - once at AT&T Stadium, the other time at American Airlines Arena. Both times I was staying in Arlington due to price and convenience to DFW airport. In the case of the AT&T Stadium bout, I was able to walk to/from...

Depends on how you define "cheap" but Apple TV and Apple Music are benefits I get with my Chase Sapphire Reserve card.

22 cars on the entry list: both of George Mack's kids are in the field too. TBH I'm hoping Jade gets a good sled under her because she might absolutely dominate that race.
