Bringing it home a little closer to you personally, how about a NHRA championship and four event wins versus a US Nationals Wally?

I'm not sure how keeping them non-permanent really helps NASCAR in any appreciable way though. NASCAR NEEDS car owners to buy into the business model, and this does nothing to advance that. If they revoked all the current charters, do they REALLY think the would find another group of suckers to...

As far as NASCAR is concerned, us old folks don't matter, in fact sometimes I think they would prefer that we all just dropped dead so they can concentrate on the hot demographic of the week. I wouldn't exactly call Roku easy. Yes, you have a million options on what to watch, but the way it is...

He won several, but a BIG factor in that was he was the Hoosier tire "house" car. Geoff did much of the tire testing for them, and when the Hoosiers were fast, Geoff tended to be VERY fast.

Yep, that is the rumor, or at least one of them. The story goes that if Haley is not in the 48, he will be in the 7. Supposedly that is why no driver has been announced for the 7, waiting to see which driver they get. My personal feeling is that Haley ends up in the 7. I have never really bought...

If I have a REALLY good shot at winning Indy, they would have to physically drag me out of the car. Kyle already has a Cup championship, and in this wild ass crap shoot of a championship format, the odds are so stacked against any one driver it's just not worth giving up on the 500. Joey Logano...

Brett especially is more plugged in than you might think. Doesn't mean they get everything 100% right, but I'd say their batting average is pretty good. Regardless of what Bowman's status is in the 48, this rumor seems to involve Justin Haley, and Justin and Brett are pretty tight, so I'm...

Not me. I'd rather win one Indy 500 than a half dozen Coke 600's. Sorry NASCAR, a Cup win is great, especially in one of the marquee events, but an Indy 500 win is immortality, especially if you're the first non Indycar regular to win it in my lifetime.

Denny is only the public mouthpiece. MJ and Polk are what matters. I dislike Denny as much as anyone does. but I always give credit to those willing to challenge the status quo and group think. I haven't trusted their vision any farther than I could throw it for about 25 years know. As far as...

Sounds about right.

I know I wouldn't be caught dead in it.

So much for the notion that HMS is regretting they decision to do Indy this year. As a side note, as wet as Indiana springs have been the last few years, a repeat of 2024 is not out of the question.

Just a couple of thoughts. Everybody is poo-pooing the idea that the teams were forced to sign the agreement, but just a few days ago, NOBODY wanted to sign it and all the sudden all but two sign it. I don't think that just happens organically. Secondly, I have been on record since day one of...

Legitimate doesn't equal sensible, or fair or right. None of the other systems were perfect either, but the current system is a sad joke.

They are legitimate based solely on the fact that everyone knew what the rules were going in and everybody competed under those same rules, but SOME of the systems used were out and out laughable and absurd. Some of the 60's formats were weighted so heavily towards the longer speedway races...

As I recall it, the "Hooters' family, (Sorry I just spaced on their last name) wanted Loy in the 7 car after Kulwicki's death, but Felix Sabates, who was the executor so to speak of the 7 team did NOT want Loy Allen in the seat. That caused a riff between the Hooter's camp and the 7 team, which...

I wouldn't be too worried. I'm pretty sure my 82 year old mother could win a couple races in a JGR Xfinity car.

NASCAR never had more bargaining clout than they had during the lead up to the first TV deal. That was the time to secure things like that to help your long term future, but the ONLY thing Brian France was interested in was how many zeros were on the check, the hell with the details. At the very...

Nope, I was of the opinion that part of NASCAR's original TV deal should've been that Speed Channel would become a de facto Golf Channel for NASCAR and that they would have the ability to control what happened to that channel regardless of what Fox did. More than one person on this forum told...

I think Loy was probably a fairly decent racer, but I think he kind of got thrown into a no win situation in the aftermath of Kulwicki's death, and the mess over who would own the 7 team and where the Hooters sponsorship would go.
