Smart people can make dumb decisions and say dumb things. I'll even admit to having done as such before, possibly w/in that post by tacitly calling Penske an idiot. That said, it seems likely that Penske was looking at this from the viewpoint of maximizing his own revenue rather than what's...

Not really. The amount of money you get running an Open team is absolutely pathetic compared to the amount you get running a Chartered team, somewhere around 35% of the amount for similar finishing positions. The Wood Brothers even said that they were strained even after top ten finishes last...

And yet, Penske and the other team owners are no better, given idiotic decisions they've made like the Charter System and the Repair Ban that enrich only the RTA members and strangle entry by new owners into the Cup Series.

Derp, my A- and B-List benchers all out-finished my actives. So many lost points. Plate racing...

I'm signed up. Nodonyet Motorsports.

Yeah, that was some brutal stuff. I'm happy for Musquin, though.

So it seems they finally found the time to squeeze in the 250 LCQ this week. And all they had to do was tape delay the whole show for no discernable reason!

I think I know why this has made many upset. It's not entirely conscious for many, but somewhere, deep in the minds of NASCAR fans, the splinter that gets agitated every time Brian France and the Race Team Alliance push through new rules that further favor the big, corporate teams, has been...

Bold Prediction: Matt DiBenedetto wins the Cup Series championship.

Six factory efforts, 2-3 indies w/ Toyota bumpers.

Most of the time it takes forever to edit those. Give it a few weeks...

Not surprised. Nature's Bakery didn't seem like a large enough company to meet the demands of a majority-season primary sponsorship at a top-tier Cup Series team.

I'm sad to hear that. It really sucks for him. I hope he can get back in time for the Motocross season.

If I'm not mistaken, they gave the timeslot that SHOULD go to that race to some frickin' interview with Stenhouse and Danica. Last week they aired segments on riders in the space. What gives?

Exactly. People always talk about "The Gordon Model" for Young Gun success, but then fast-forward to Tony Stewart for the first season expectations. Let us also never forget that Gordon failed to finish 20 times in his first two seasons, almost all of which was either him driving into the wall...

Lew's not wrong. ESPN's "State of Motorsport" pieces from the start of this year noted that the only noteworthy series now growing are Supercross and similarly bite-sized formats. IndyCar is effectively stagnant, which given their long decline almost counts as progress. NASCAR's getting hosed...

I like Rick Allen. My "mute point" is that waste of a set of vocal cords named Allen Bestwick.

When I read NBC Sports' article about Baldwin preparing to sell his charter, they briefly referenced the scenario surrounding the Premium Motorsports charter in such a way that it made it sound like the performance of the team that owns the leased out charter (the 98 in this case) plays some...

You'd have to load well over 100 gallons into a car to do that at a 500-mile race at current fuel efficiency rates, even where we are w/ fuel cell tech there's no way you could do that safely.

Five top ten points finishes and eight wins over the course of thirty years, in equipment that most likely could've posted much better, at least during the first fifteen-twenty of those years. As far as team ownership, every call he made in regards to drivers and crew chiefs seemed to be the...
