    California Speedway Demo / Rebuild

    It was only great when the pavement wore out. For the first decade and more, it was generally duller than Michigan.

    Silly Season 2025

    From what I understand, the chance of Heim getting into ANY car remotely connected to JGR is slim and none. Sounds like whatever bad blood there is, it runs deep. Really surprised he hasn't jumped ship just to try to save his career, but I imagine every place he would go wants money he doesn't...

    For me at this point, it's not about feeling sorry for anyone, it's about people getting what they deserve. That doesn't mean they wouldn't send every extra dollar they make chasing speed and buying fancy buildings and end up just as "broke" as before, but I DO think the teams have earned a...

    Maybe because you don't like what he is saying? Like him or hate him, unlike any of us he has a REAL skin in the game and I think his point of view is a least worth considering, especially when he is the ONLY one from the ownership side that is willing to even discuss the issue in any...

    I dislike Denny, and I like Jimmie, but there is something to be said about someone who will take a stand and tell us what he REALLY thinks, whether you agree with them or not. I'm sick and tired of robots that are afraid to have an unpopular opinion. I am always deeply suspicious of people and...

    Chevrolet next year?

    There is a reason why a couple of the DuPont/Axalta schemes are iconic, and this one won't EVER be. Also keep in mind there no real consumer component to this sponsorship. The "customer" is body shops and auto body suppliers, and they are going to be far more impressed by a flashy paint scheme...

    If Kyle Larson is the greatest driver in the world

    Do you want to be the best, or do you want to be the champion? Kyle's season isn't even in the top ten of great seasons that didn't result in a title.

    Chevrolet next year?

    If you're selling selling car paint, white doesn't seem the way to grab attention. Nor does not understanding what colors do and don't go together. They taught us that in like the third grade.

    Chevrolet next year?

    I'm fairly confident that all that Camaro and ZL1 branding will fade away in the next few weeks. I will also submit that that is one of the best looking schemes on the #24 since the mid 2000's. The scheme that ran yesterday in the finale was nothing short of embarrassing, every bit as awful as...

    If Kyle Larson is the greatest driver in the world

    I'm now doubling down on this take. Potential and pure ability is great, but lets be honest. The scoreboard is what REALLY matters, and Logano pretty much has more scoreboard than every other active driver combined right now. He is to Larson what Brady is to Manning, and what Jordan is to...

    Cup Championship thread --- Phoenix

    Rick and Roger are very close friends. I just want to once again thank the 48 team from the bottom of my heart for allowing Joey Logano to continue in the playoffs. Now I'm gonna go throw up.

    Bobby Allison Has Passed … RIP

    Bobby was so much more than a great NASCR driver. His support and dedication to short track promoters, fans and fellow drivers was an awesome thing to witness, flying all over the country to compete and sell tickets at lord how many tracks. Also, near and dear to my heart, he was winning NASCAR...

    What did you think of the Martinsville call?

    OK, so maybe he realizes what is happening. What's he going to do about it?

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Drivers and teams come and go, but "my" car make has always been there. If that's not your thing, that's fine, but I totally get where Rev is coming from. The only thing I don't agree with him about is his blind loyalty. If "my" manufacturer screws the pooch, I'll be the FIRST guy to call...

    What did you think of the Martinsville call?

    Because NASCAR presented the rule (BS or not) as a SAFETY issue. Intent plays no part in it being a penalty or not.

    What did you think of the Martinsville call?

    Is there no amount of penance this man can deliver that will FINALLY put a stop to all this felon nonsense? He was one of many who participated in an illegal scheme to get some more cars for his dealerships, it's not like he killed somebody. He does more good for people in a DAY than most...

    If Kyle Larson is the greatest driver in the world

    Pure talent and speed, Larson. Getting it done when it matters? Probably Logano. Go back ten years, the answers likely would have been Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson. Go back another ten, and the answer is probably Jeff Gordon for both.

    If Kyle Larson is the greatest driver in the world

    Championships don't go to the best driver. They go to the driver that does the best job. Larson beat Elliott like a drum all season, but in the end only 20 or so points separated the two. Same could be said for Byron. At some point you have to do more than just win races and be spectacular...

    Chevrolet next year?

    GM is VERY protective of the Corvette nameplate and the aura around it. They have VERY tightly controlled where, when and who races them as much as humanly possible since the C5 debuted in the late 90's. There is about as much chance of a Camaro bodied stock car being badged a Corvette as there...

    Chevrolet next year?

    It is my understanding that the car will be exactly the same, it will just carry only Chevrolet branding, no Camaro branding.
