He hasn't awakened to a world without restriction, or found the freedom in escaping the land of pain...

I remember seeing new limits coming in for 2018, something like five races a year regardless of experience if you're declared for Cup points. ***EDIT***: Nevermind, just re-read the NASCAR.com article, you had it right...

I remember when he did have sponsorship, but I realized recently that I can't remember the last time I saw JBL Headphones on his hood. For that matter, I only ever saw a few ads on TV for them back in 2016, too, but Googling them turns up a bunch of entries including working links to their...

My real downfall was putting in Ty Dillon and benching McDowell, but using Bowyer instead of Bayne didn't help either. If I'd set based only on final practice I would've done better (but still not great, since Dillon out-paced McDowell in both practices). Four steps forward, one step back...

Xenophobia always is.

Rick Allen is under contract. But with any luck, they'll find a way to wiggle out of it next year.

Oh. My. GOD! I WIN! I WIN! IWINIWINIWIN! Thanks, dude. This feels so fantastic. It's like a weight came off my back by getting this done. So, basically, what happened this weekend is that I took my June roster, dropped the drivers (other than Suarez) who didn't perform and put in ones...

Kasey Kahne for running into everyone forever, in this specific case cutting off Daniel Suarez and wrecking the both of them. Alternately, NBCSN for having no idea that Casey Mears' stall on the track at Mid-Ohio was probably because of damage from a spin that was clearly visible ON THE SCREEN.

This is why I've been very circumspect about comments on a particular former employer of mine, despite the less than ideal (in some cases criminally so) work environment he bred. It's also why I disposed of numerous quotes from death metal songs on my Facebook page a few years ago, quotes that...

Today, it wasn't so bad, just because today I got roped into helping some extended family empty out a storage locker, and it took from 10:30 to 1:30, which with the 3pm start left me with plenty of time to get lunch, get back to my pad, re-dry all my shirts and review my Fantasy Roster. That...

So, yeah, I kind of wrote this off as a "throwaway" weekend anyway, I just didn't expect to get so little lift from Logano. Not that Harvick would've been that much better. Easily my worst finishing position of the season, even if I still haven't (yet) gone below my Daytona 500 total. I throw...

This coming from the staffer whose driver won a race and finished seventh in his rookie season, even after sitting out four races, and is the only one to win the title in his second season... ;) Chris Buescher, Pocono August 2016. Admittedly, that was a fluke of absolutely epic proportions...

There are websites and blogs out there that make money/gain attention out of making people care about the ratings for TV shows, generally by portraying it as a race to avoid cancellation, and by giving a numerical baseline at which the decision sways between renewal and cancellation...

Note to self: Stop trying to aim high with Ryan Blaney. He's too unpredictable. But then again, my original plan was to use Larson today (until he said he was struggling in race setup), and he turned out even worse, under similarly unpredictable circumstances to those that took down Blaney...

You had the same dud driver I did, one top ten that I had, and two other top tens that were better than my other top tens. Take that as you will. Hope you've been having fun, dude. Just not too much extra, make sure you get back in one piece... ;)

Brian Vickers seemed to have it in for Kasey a few years ago. Yeah, I know, Vickers is insane anyway. That said, I feel like Kasey was being aggressive toward Brian that day, and maybe needed a spin cycle more than he got.

The point is that there's no foolproof way to run Indy. The place just isn't gentle on tires.

Long later claimed they actually offered that option, at a rate of 12-16k per race, which would've raised his entry fee to 25k. He then implied his team as then constituted wouldn't have been able to pay that rate.

Yes, he was fined 200k, and the appeals board held that up. But I think the issue with Long is not the fine per se, but the fact that they used it to effectively bar him from being able to pay it by blackballing him from the Cup Series "until he could pay it". (which given the tiny margins in...

Either way, though, the treatment of Long was heinous.
