Hope DiBenedetto lands on his feet somewhere.

Yeah. Since owners always score points and drivers either don't due to running Xfinity full time or can get substituted for another driver, you have to compare owners to have like for like.

Looking at points, there's gaps larger than a race (using that to mark field breaks in quality) between: 2nd (Penske #22) and 3rd (Stewart Haas #4), 6th (Penske #2) and 7th (Ganassi #1), 21st (JTG Daugherty #37) and 22nd (Childress #3), 22nd and 23rd (Leavine #95), 25th (Childress #8) and 26th...

Based on how last year's 250 season went for Savagty, I was surprised he got the Kawasaki 450 ride to start with. I thought he did well in SX, but it was just a one-year deal. Think his best bet is Suzuki.

I actually met Tifft once. In a previous job I attended the Waste Expo in Las Vegas and he was there for a sponsor commitment when he was still in Xfinity. (The Premium #27 is an unchartered car.) What charters are Gaunt and GMS buying/leasing? Although they could just enter, because only a...

Depends on your definition of competitive. There's a semi-dark line around 24th and there's a much darker line around 30th, with the best car beneath that being the Go FAS 32. Front Row expanding from 2 cars to 3, they seem to have fallen back competitively into this group as the 32 is in front...

STICK AND BALL ALERT In professional stick and ball, there's no such thing as buying your spot in the game or having to provide sponsorship in order to ensure you're starting? The people that are there are there because they have been deemed better. In American professional stick and ball...

I think that kind of ignores the underlying truth that Kahne was in the 95 because Hendrick had one more year to pay him. So he gave him to a team that bought Hendrick equipment. I know it's in the competitors' interests to not talk about anything financial, but financials rule the sport of auto...

Thoughts: -Bubba Wallace tripled his fanbase size. Unfortunately, he still finished in the high 20s. -Kyle Busch spins early, gets taken out on the frontstretch by Bubba, and still finished 11th. This field is really not deep. (By the way, I don't like Busch at all, but what was Bubba doing...

The sponsors while bad are really nothing out of the ordinary when considering the history of auto racing. There's always been more will to be in racing than the money to make it happen. Sarah Fisher got national coverage for her sponsor ResQ Energy Drink by giving a helmet to Hillary Clinton in...

On the flipside, you have the Ross Chastain Development System, where he'll have 100+ Cup races under his belt when he eventually runs for Rookie of the Year.

I guess to clarify I have sat and watched video games being played. I have watched walkthroughs of all the Batman Arkham games on YouTube, but that's more to watch the story in the games, or the cinematic experience of it. I don't care about watching the player beatup so many thugs to maximize...

I played video games from the NES through to the GameCube, but I do feel eSports being a thing represents a "this shows how far society has fallen" to me. You want to play iRacing, go ahead, no problem with that, but why would people want to watch that? I saw 5 minutes or so once of this one...

I want a show where they discuss Daytona, talk about the good and bad of the race, inject some humor, share drivers' and owners' honest opinions, talk about silly season and what is up with Gibbs/Erik Jones/Christopher Bell/underlying causes for the whole mess, etc. I'm not really expecting all...

Used to listen to Jeff Gluck's but that one ceased with his new employment. I want one in the vein of Trackside or Steve Matthes' podcast at Racer X.

This was mentioned elsewhere and I'm repeating it. There was no competition caution Sunday after the whole weekend was a washout.

He's always struck me as a more charismatic Paul Menard, maybe with a little more talent.

Buescher was at least in the lead under green flag conditions. When it comes to the sport I have a "thieves ain't honest and neither are race car drivers, you take what you get when you can" mentality. Part of the sport is you get undeserved wins and lose when you deserve to win. Good for...

A second comment: First non-full-timer to win a race since...?

Haley can't make the playoffs (win and you're not in!), but if the #77 can improve their owner points, they can get in the top 30 and make top 16, leading to a split between the drivers and owners. The issue is this team has been the backmarker of backmarkers due to putting anyone in the car...
