Took 4 top 5's in early '90s CART driving a season for Foyt, 10th in the series championship that year. Won 2 races in the '95 season (pre-split) driving for Derrick Walker. Not to mention success in off road racing and sportscar racing. I love Robby like I said. If auto racing actually had a...

Remove the non-charters, Rick Ware Racing, Spire, Go FAS, StarCom, Premium (the backmarker class), Front Row, the Petty 43, Leavine, Germain (the next class up from that), there are 24 cars in the field. Out of those 24 cars, Hendrick went 15, 17, 19, and 24. David Ragan for Front Row finished...

Love me some Robby Gordon and I'll defend his overall racing talent to anyone. I've gone some years without having a favorite driver in Cup, mostly because none of them ever struck me as much to get enthusiastic about. Larson is about the closest to finding a guy to cheer for I've had in some...

Why would you run it in Charlotte? It costs something like $10 million to setup the track, takes 8 weeks to set it all up, then they have to tear it down, meanwhile just down the road in Concord they have this nice facility that the street race would ultimately be competing against because CMS...

I have to think while Atlanta eats up tires, the tire life should be extended a bit compared to last year if this package reduces speeds. Fuel mileage should also increase.

Yeah, I think the reason Bowers got DQ'd was heavily due to Carmichael's commentary immediately calling it cold revenge. It's knee-jerk reactionary, meanwhile nothing is going to happen to Oldenberg, and Carmichael said "hey, that's racing". They were the exact same moves... Sheheen and...

To rant on something, Carmichael's commentary tonight annoyed me. Bowers takes out Barcia, Carmichael immediately says "that was payback for Las Vegas last year!" Bowers is disqualified before the LCQ. Later, in the 250 main event, Oldenberg does just about the exact same move on Alex Martin...

Is part of Front Row Motorsports' relationship with buying Ford engines is they have to help Penske Racing cars win races? If someone has that contract and know that to be true, they can put a picture of the section saying this up. Normally Roger's smart enough to not put that in writing. But if...

if it came out that Earnhardt had been told by Chevy's guy at the track to stay behind Jeff Gordon and push him to victory, Earnhardt fans would've found everything with a bowtie on it and burned it in the infield seriously, what the heck does Michael McDowell owe to Joey Logano? if McDowell...

when did we become F1?

Why are they staying anonymous, fear of repercussion? I mean, Gary Nelson worked for NASCAR for years.

Having one component instead of two components will lead to less waste head loss between the two at the interface. Minor in the grand scheme of things.

I think the fear of death or serious injury has been so removed from auto racing that drivers just don't respect one another anymore. It is a sport-wide thing. Verstappen in F1 drives with no respect for anyone. Wickens' crash at Pocono last year, he went for a hole that wasn't there. Go back 20...

Like with Indy 500 qualifying, to understand why things are the way they are now, we need to compare to how things used to be: -50 to 60 cars filed entries for the Daytona 500, no one was guaranteed to make the show outside of those that could count on a provisional -First round qualifying was...

I know at least as late as the late '90s, they were not broadcast live. Only way to follow was the radio, and CBS would broadcast them tape-delayed after the Busch race on Saturday.

So for the main purpose of these 2 races, Tyler Reddick and Casey Mears have guaranteed they'll make the field on speed. If Reddick or Mears are the best non-chartered car in their race, Ryan Truex will make the Daytona 500. If Reddick and Mears are the best non-chartered cars in their races...

Get rid of the wave around rule.

These races are starting at 11pm eastern time. Who is staying up to 2am to watch these races live? We have these things called DVR and it's not difficult to keep the results of Supercross races quiet til you watch it compared to other sports. I'm busy most Saturday nights anyway, so even when...

Not like he wanted to get injured of course, but it's a convenient way for his title defense to end considering his form the first few races.

Used to have Le Mans on DVD until I got robbed some years ago, but it's like you said a labor of love of McQueen's. However, the movie loses some from being viewed today versus being viewed back in the '70s. Back in the '70s, there was no in-car cameras, so the cinematography was out of this...
