    Random NHRA

    We had friends at the track and there is a video of the crash landing itself. Per Alan Reinhart on the PA and NHRA.tv , the occupants are expected to live thanks to the swift response and action by the safety safari. One of the RVs had Ron Capp's family in it when it was hit. (For those that...

    Rick Ware Racing

    Rick Ware has made it known on the NHRA side that he wants to add a second car. Maybe he's seeing Tony Stewart syndrome. Running Top Fuel is ~5 Million a year for one car and ~8 Mil for 2 cars. About 1/4 the cost of one cup car, 1/5 less for 2 cup cars, etc. And wayyyy less drama at the...

    Backing in

    I back in at home because it fits our situation better - GF and I are side by side in front of the garage in a corner and dad's work van goes around the circular driveway in front of us. In public I prefer to back in, because I can see where the bumper (or trailer ball) lands right on the white...

    You have to admit that there is surely some mutual respect among the owners, especially those two. I wouldn't be surprised if they spend time together away from the media, out golfing or on a boat or something.

    Man I thought Blaney had a run when he got to the bumper. But that hunting high slowed him too much.

    The 9 did Byron a favor and just slammed the door on Reddick.

    Hmm... Idk how bad the tire fall off will be, but looks like Byron will either get ran over on the restart or he's gonna book a multi-second lead until Logano's car can catch up.

    If you are Byron, do you stay out or gas only?

    And being a new car, can they sell it as new? Or does that count against it as CPO or Used? Does it show on the CarFax? Hmm...

    Remember that the Pace Cars are loaned from local dealerships. That is a Toyota Corp problem, not just a NASCAR problem.

    How many Backup Pace Cars have they had to deploy this year? Feels like this is #3 or #4.

    Another manufacturer coming to NASCAR?

    Nissan is broke, Stellantis is broke, but Honda is actually doing pretty good. But I have a feeling they won't come in until the hybridization is implemented.
