The NIL deal is the result of the NCAA choosing to operate in an illegal cartel fashion for decades because of greed. They could have done something different that would have prevented the massive changes college sports are seeing, but opted not to because $$$. That's all that needs be said in...

The same people who were so certain that there could never be a lawsuit are going to be the ones who are so certain that NASCAR can't lose it.

Everyone who is so certain NASCAR has nothing to be concerned about will know one way or another soon enough. No point in speculating further unless you have a law degree.

Predictable thing ends predictably.

Somewhere, "the kids" (adults ages 18-34/18-47 whom have been the growth demo for F1) are going to be blamed regardless of what happens in terms of NASCAR developing a points system that they claim is for them. Everyone in these discussions already has a preference and is here to defend it...

Can't say the ovals at the end of the season didn't deliver by and large. This was a solid race with overtaking and not a lot of dumb cautions (unlike the street circuit). This was a transition year for Indycar as they get ready to move over to Fox and have bolstered the oval racing segment of...

He's where he is because he drives the way he drives. Reading this reminds me of the sorts of people who complain that if Mike Tyson/Vitor Belfort/Mark Kerr had just a couple of things go differently, they'd have never lost in their respective sports, been the best ever, blah blah blah. It goes...

Is everyone done being pretend mad that he skipped the Coke 600 now that it's clear they're running this entire thing back? I know people do love them some performative rage.

Conveniently gives them a chance to put Bearman in the car. I dunno, KMag is done in F1 now and F1 throws the equivalent of a yellow card any time an overtake happens on track. I theorize this is part of the changed nature of the sport, where overtaking without DRS is actively discouraged...

The sponsors they're bringing aren't likely to care to join Rick Ware Racing or Spire just to be in the series without MJ being involved. Otherwise we wouldn't have had the last 15 years of NASCAR increasingly requiring drivers to bring funding to get into the sport.

No. Like I wrote, it was intentionally chaotic and messy. "Anything can happen in the WWE" became the deus ex machina statement to justify why it was the way it was. Wrestling succeeds when it at least attempts to stick to a narrative foundation, which is how stories (hint about journalism: the...

Vision Racing II, coming to fill the field at an Amazon broadcast race near you...

No, it was professional wrestling. LOL

Well, right now, the closest thing that it resembles is post-Attitude Era WWE. I can't think of a single professional sport that it resembles. Dunno what to tell you about that!

His ability to win championships is entirely dependent on where the finale is and if his team is good at that track in that specific year and functionally nothing else. Even being able to get there doesn't mean anything other than it essentially guarantees him a top 5 finish based on past...

I mean like this - if I went to the MIS race this year, Tyler Reddick won. Well, Tyler Reddick was already in the chase, so it didn't do that much for him. Kyle Busch scored the second most points of any driver, and, well, it didn't matter for him either. Zane Smith had a good finish! He's still...

New Zealand. It's a dirt series that looks like midgets with a ring around them akin to a bumper car. There's banger racing (which is in Europe and the UK) too, but that just separates out the winners between those who cause the most mayhem and those who complete the most laps IIRC.

First off, everyone I work with is out of the country or out sick today. I'm gonna be playing around with the NASCAR points because I can. Expect some long ass effort post later. Secondly: I have a hypothesis that the most efficient way to run a 4 car NASCAR team is to select 2 drivers to be...

I always see this as a response and I think to myself, "Yes, I suppose that's true. Shame about how this statement inherently means how little anything else counts."

If I compare it to F1 right now - I see a lot of posts and YouTube videos and content related to McLaren finding their rhythm this season and Lando Norris maybe possibly being in the title hunt (he isn't really but you can argue it is possible) after multiple years of complete domination by Max...
