    What is your "home track"?

    Richmond would be mine, was a little over an hour away. Never went there tho, Charlotte has been the only track thus far. where I currently reside I guess either Pocono or Dover, both essentially the same distance.

    2019 South Point 400 -- Las Vegas --- Pre-race thread

    Wasn’t that atrocious version used last season? They couldn’t find another good song, to be covered badly, for this season? It’s almost as bad as any JG Wentworth commercial, to my ears at least.

    Jessi Combs

    Bummer. Just saw this info on another site - famous for posting fake deaths - and it wasn’t. She got me interested in rock crawling trucks and was bummed when she left X4x4, same after AGG. Wasn’t on the tube enough, and she was one of the few in that genre who came across as genuine in their...

    Who drove for the most manufacturers for ONE team.

    Kinda off topic but.... Whatever happened to Rubby? It seemed to me one day I was watching a race and realized he was no more.

    2019 Michigan -- Consumers Energy 400 -- Pre-Race Thread

    As others have said....eliminating the function of the alternator, the drag created from it charging reducing HP due to parasitic loss, “gives” that back. It’s why underdrive pulley sets were all the rage years ago for street cars....spin the alt and w/p slower and make MOAR horsepower! Many...

    Drivers you used to hate but now respect

    In the mid 80s when I started watching in earnest I was an Elliot guy through and through, which meant I was 100% anti Sr. After Bill became a relative non factor and Jeffie burst on the scene I slowly got seduced by the dark side and never looked back. Spencer was another who just annoyed...

    First Memories Of Watching Cup Series

    Seeing the races on wide world of sports or something, I’m guessing dega or something, and seeing all the wrecks as a child. As an aside, same way I got into hockey, happened to catch a game where the players fought all over the place. That’s so cool!!! The one early race that stands out is...

    RACE thread --- The Open and the All-Star

    Don Koharski and Paul Stewart approve of this post. In all seriousness, there’s no need for Clint to be fined or probation, the amount of grief he’s gonna get in the garage over that will be more punishment than anything nascar could hope to mete out.

    Nascar directed shills on this board?

    This has been an entertaining read.... Nope! No way, nascar could care less. I for sure could see it happening. Tin foil! I’m not going to say there is, but I’m not going to say it’s impossible, or not probable.....and I’ll tell ya why. Back in 99/2000, when I discovered the internets...

    DW to call it quits?

    Kinda sad to see him going away. So many things involved in his ascension to the booth, for me, personally. I do agree with others that he’s changed, not as sharp, and becoming a bit of a characature of himself. Truth be told I was never really a “fan” of his, starting as a driver. When he...

    Start/restarts

    I’ve seen pretty much every race for the past 20 years and I don’t recall a single time this happening. Not saying it didn’t, just that I don’t recall. Can’t believe it’s an issue. I guess it’s the hen’s teeth factor making it a big deal.

    Stupid question about new car wheels

    Ok, in that case, tires shouldn’t cost you more than $400, delivered. At least through tire rack, as they have free shipping. I just ran a couple makes and tires can be had for under $100 each. Hankook, Kumho, Sumitomo, Cooper, etc. all “grocery getter” all season jobs. They have a...

    so why did nascar seem cooler in the 80's? broadcast was way better!!

    Interesting.... Was it those big round puck looking jobs, smack in the middle towards the front of the roof? I wonder if WT tests showed it disturbed the air over the roof enough that it took some air off the spoiler?

    Stupid question about new car wheels

    What kind of vehicle, car, truck, suv? 15” tires are a dwindling animal, depending on the usage and size. As stated above, the taller the sidewall the more compliant ( comfort ) they’ll be, given certain parameters. A 70 series tire will be more comfortable than a 60 series, generally...

    so why did nascar seem cooler in the 80's? broadcast was way better!!

    Me three! Was cool to see all what was going on, especially the sidewall flex. I don’t recall ever seeing it, but if that was still an option for cameras what it would look like when a tire let go.

    Jayski has been Twittered

    I really liked jayski as well, went to it often. Took a break from it for some reason or another.....upon returning it had changed over and I was in WTH mode. Soon as I saw the ESPN I immediately X’d out the window and have never gone back.

    Days of Thunder

    Another great one, along with the dreamy Diane Lane. Saw that in the theater at the ripe old age of 10 maybe? I’m pretty sure Farmer Ted was in it too.
