    Silly Season 2025

    McDowell is a top 5 threat at the plate tracks and a top 10 at twisties. Any second-tier or lower team would benefit from his presence. Spire did well to sign him.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Open teams have to sign a contract that has the same 'no lawsuits' clause as the charter teams. That's what changed this morning. The contracts 23FR signed are as open teams but without that clause.

    Do you consider AP to be a garbage site?

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    The lawyers for 23FR can pick and choose their cases. They wouldn't be involved if they thought there wasn't a decent chanceof success.

    Check the breakdown of races in the first and last stage. One int the first, three in the last.

    I did wonder how a beer was involved.

    Silly Season 2025

    Keep in mind, 'incredible' means 'hard to believe', not 'excellent'. 'Hard to believe' doesn't necessarily mean 'hard to believe in a good way'.

    The Announcers Thread

    I'm not sure what you mean. The article you linked shows four races will be on NBC, and those four will also be on Peacock. Frankly, I wish they would go to USA across the board. Then I'd know where to find the race every week without having to check. I don't get why they don't stream...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Has this been even hinted at outside this discussion? It's common for me to miss stuff, especially on other social media.

    NASCAR - Television Ratings Thread

    Yeah, my question is, does the problem exist only over my Internet provider's streaming app? I suspect the affiliate is going to tell me to see if it happens with their over-the-air broadcast. I have no way of testing that at this time. My previous attempts with an antenna in this area...

    2024 R-F Race Ratings

    What BZF overlooked in his drunken and / or drugged stupor is that few 'Best of 7' series actually get to the seventh game.

    2025 schedule news/rumors

    =IF= this track is able to secure Trucks or X in the long run, I hope the first major upgrade is to that ancient scoreboard. Top 5 spots only, with the car numbers shown in old-style block numbers lit by fixed incandescent floods. It's totally useless when the afternoon sun is on it. High...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Experience and corporate discipline. NASCAR has been in lawsuits before. It pays lawyers to handle all this, and everyone in a position of authority knows to shut up and let them do what they're paid for. The teams have (much?) less experience with this type of court action. They aren't...

    I keep very little on my phone. While I do have all of Jimmy Buffett on there, I listen to more podcasts than music and those get dumped after I've listened to them. I have so few apps that everything I use fits on one screen. There are maybe a dozen pictures.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    I recall it was two or three weeks ago, after the linked article. Of course, there's the question of whether he was trying to influence the public. I'm at the point where I'm not taking either side's word until their under oath.

    Cup Championship thread --- Phoenix

    In my ideal world, NASCAR would revert to a season-long points total, no playoffs, the same as most other motorsports. I'd change the points to award more for wins and top fives. I could rattle off three or four playoff schemes I'd find more acceptable than the current one. None of them would...

    @ToyYoda hanks for taking this on again this year!

    Cable cutters, rejoice

    As the decades pass, we're watching decreasingly less. We're also more selective. If there's nothing on we're interested in, we'll switch to a music channel or a CD instead of searching just to have something on. For the last few years, probably 90% of what we watch are racing, golf, PBS, and...
