    Kyle Busch to RCR

    I'm not a Kyle Bush fan, but RCR has some fast race cars, they've proven that, and I think Kyle will only help make them faster. Kurt Bush improved every team he raced for, and I think Kyle will do the same at RCR.

    Time to look at playoff format?

    He probably entered the cup series under more pressure than any other driver, before or since. HUGE shoes to fill.

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    They can do some amazing things with body wrap now. I'll bet that they could make all the cars the same, body, nose and tail, and with the wrap they have now, trick the eye into seeing a Ford, Chevy or Toyota.

    Someone is going to die in these cars!!!

    I was thinking along the lines of a seat, or a seat within a seat, with maybe some of the expanded metal that they use for crush panels in between. The seat and headrest would have some give in the event of a crash, but would otherwise be solid.

    Someone is going to die in these cars!!!

    Maybe a seat modification? That might be something they could do quickly, but I don't really know how much they can do. More padding in the back?

    Time to look at playoff format?

    It should definitely not come down to just one race to decide the champion. Two or three races would be best for sure.

    Half or more of these "recording superstars" are people I've certainly never head of.

    Bonehead of the week: Atlanta II/Mid-Ohio

    I'm not defending Chastain's driving, but the very first contact between the #1 car and the #11 car, was Hamlin getting into Chastain's rear quarter, for no reason but to deliberately hit him.

    They just can't shut up for one second. They were talking over the in car and each other.

    Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Loose Wheel.

    I think that part of the problem is that the nut IS tight and probably at the right torque, but the splines are on top of each other, instead of engaged. As soon as the car hits the ground, they settle in, and the nut is loose.

    An adult wouldn't leave his full-face helmet on when he started throwing punches around.

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Darlington

    7.5 pretty good race, would rate it higher if the inside lane came in to allow more passing

    2022 Silly Season

    I'm not a huge Kurt Bush fan but I think if you put him back in an SHR car both him and Harvick would be right up front again.

    If Dale Sr. was still around, Jimmie might not have got 5 in a row. Just sayin.

    Kyle Busch to continue racing in NXS even after he scores 100 wins

    I wonder how many fights Mike Tyson would have won if he fought in heavyweight, middleweight and lightweight? Probably be a record.

    Gordon's Statement during the 600 is too telling

    On the flip side, over at SHR, you have Harvick running decent, but he gets to compare setups with Briscoe, Custer and Almirola. I can't imagine that he gets much useful info there. Not like he did with Newman and Bush.

    Aric Almirola is having one of the worst seasons ever by a top tier ride

    You look at the Gibbs, Hendrick and Penske teams and the drivers are all fairly equal. Sharing setups and information elevates all of them. I can't imagine that the feedback Harvick gets from the other drivers on his team helps him a whole lot. More likely, Harvick's team gets their car set up...
