    What did you think of the Martinsville call?

    Byron did nothing wrong, but he did benefit from the illegal race manipulations performed by others on his behalf. That cannot stand. He should be penalized for "receiving stolen goods," so to speak.

    What did you think of the Martinsville call?

    This rant by @AlTerego is a textbook example of "gaslighting." It deserves no response. I suppose Nascar did the best they could, given a difficult situation. Bell's wall-riding incident wasn't a full "Hail Melon," but it was clearly a violation of the rule established after Ross Chastain's...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Martinsville

    I'm coming for YOU, @Mr Excitement. You have P10 and I want it. Back in the summer, I reached P10... just long enough for a cup of coffee. I wanna get back in the top 10. I'm polishing up the ol' chrome horn. Look out! (LOL).

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    I agree with the tweet to a certain point... the ruling on expedited discovery does seem like a minor skirmish, compared to the substance of the November 4 hearing on the injunction. However, even that argument, scheduled for next Monday, is hardly the litmus test of this lawsuit, IMO. The...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    @SOI, thank you for that thoughtful reply. I don't agree with all of it, but I now have a better idea where you're coming from. It's certainly true that Big Bill France recognized a market opportunity and organized and nurtured an industry that has provided good income and wealth generation for...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    As you point out, Nascar could make life pretty Hell-ish for any team they choose to target, and that team would find it difficult or impossible to "prove it" to gain legal relief. So let me ask you, Brother SOI... why do you choose to throw your total, all in support in favor of the outfit that...

    In Defense of Joey Logano

    I agree. Logano is an elite driver and has been for a long time. He needs no defense. However, the analysis performed by @jaqua19 is seriously flawed because it uses 2022-24 results to measure whether Joey is fully deserving of competing in Phoenix for the 2024 championship. Being deserving of...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    I've read every post in this 32-page discussion, and I still can't get over the amount of disdain many of y'all have for the economic plight of the team owners. These are the guys that make the show happen every week, so be careful who you neglect. Add me to the apparent minority of R-F members...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Talladega

    30 races are in the books, 6 more races to go, Now is the time to make my move... I believe in setting goals and working hard to achieve them. It's true in life, and it's true in the Nascar Pick 'Em business. Since the Daytona 500 in February, my goal has been 540 points for the year, an...

    It's 'Watkins GLEN', not 'GleNN'. One N, not two. Thank you.

    If Jim Bob Cooter isn't a crew chief on a dirt late model team, he sure as hell should be.

    Silly Season 2025

    Jordan Bianchi has published his latest silly season update in The Athletic. He cautions that none of these moves are yet done deals and will not be final until the teams announce them. Corey LaJoie... probably to the RWR #51 "according to multiple sources involved in the discussions." Justin...

    Silly Season 2025

    I hate to see this. Parker Kligerman is a gritty competitor. He has a knack for getting maximum performance out of minimum resources. He drove the wheels off that #75 Food City truck... a team with just one paid employee IIRC. Same thing with the #48 Big Machine Xfinity car, another team with...

    Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

    After debating points systems and championship formats on here for 5 years or more, I totally lost interest in repeating the same things over and over again. My opinion is... life's too short to keep repeating stuff you've already repeated 50+ times. I guess that makes me a simpleton or...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Daytona

    Well, at Daytona @LewTheShoe had the same pick as you, Ryan Preece, who wound up in 39th place. Preece had a very fast Ford, qualified on the second row, surrounded by Stewart Haas teammates and the Ford's from Front Row, Penske, and RFK. So the dumb ass intentionally throws away the relative...

    The Announcers Thread

    Am I the only one who would rather listen to fingernails screeching down a chalkboard rather than listen to Leigh Diffey call a race? I'm certainly no fan of Rick Allen, but Diffey is way more gerbil-ized than Allen.

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Michigan

    Fair warning to all who have saved the "best drivers" for the stretch run... 25% of the remaining races are at drafting tracks!!! Chaos shall prevail!!! Daytona - Atlanta - Talladega... these are tracks that will destroy your "best drivers," while handing top-5 finishes to genuine weekly...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Michigan

    When "The Commissioner" posted the picks yesterday, I saw that I was "on an island" with Chris Buescher as nobody else picked him. I'm happy with a P6... after snagging a W last week with Dipsh*t Dillon... a sign that maybe my lousy racing luck has changed for the better. One-third of the season...

    Cup RACE thread --- Michigan

    Keselowski too. I don't understand why guys that are not in a tight points battle would stay out. Buescher needs the stage points to make the playoffs, but Byron and Kez do not.

    Scott Bloomquist

    Godspeed to "Black Sunshine," a true giant in late model dirt racing. One of the most colorful nicknames in all of sports, and one of the most appropriate, IMO.
