    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Homestead-Miami

    Not for me. All my slobber done got knocker'd the last two weeks. I saved two hot shoes for the last two 1.5ers on the schedule, Larson for Las Vegas and Reddick for Homestead. Got P35 and P35 for 70 points in two weeks. If I had reversed the drivers, I'd have scored P6 and P1 and shoulda...

    Cup RACE thread --- Homestead

    From my recliner, Noah *looks* sorta pudgy and soft, and his post-race physical distress seems to fit that, but I think the issue *could be* completely unrelated. I recall that Noah is a long-time client of Josh Wise's fitness, training, and preparation program (and the Google machine just...

    Bubba Wallace Appreciation Thread

    Aunty, thanks for mentioning this. I was compelled to go to Twitter to look for myself. Bleh...:bleh: In general, the PA Posse has a special place in my heart. Been to many Central PA sprint car races, and it's ground zero for the best local, weekly racing on the planet. And this is a special...

    The Announcers Thread

    Allen Bestwick is doing Professional Bull Riders commentary for CBS... He used to say stuff like, "Stand on it, Chase Elliott." But now it's more like, "Don't step in it, Cody Lambert." I'd love to see Bestwick doing NASCAR again. Rick Allen could handle the bulls***, if ya know what I mean.

    Sports writer Ryan McGee captures exactly how I feel about Kurt Busch and his complicated legacy...

    I've seen a lot of glowing posts on here about how admired Kurt Busch is, even revered, and perfectly the opposite of how he used to be. I'll admit I don't abhor the man like I used to do, but at the same time I can't (and won't try to) forget the first dozen or so years of his NASCAR career...

    A Memo To Dale, Jr... JUMP!!!

    The usual deathbedders bloviating about "The end is nigh." A common theme for R-F at that time. That's what Junior did in 2020... wait and see. He was uncomfortable investing $5 million for a charter that just a couple years earlier had traded for half that amount. Then in 2021, the...

    A Memo To Dale, Jr... JUMP!!!

    JR Motorsports' move into the Cup Series remains stalled by "analysis paralysis," where it has been bogged down for the last two years. In 2020, Dale Jr. said all they needed was a charter to pull the trigger for launching a Cup team when the Next Gen car was introduced, but charters were going...

    Next Gen Upgrades

    NASCAR didn't give a specific date when this project began, but they did say it was early this year. When they announced last week that crash tests were imminent, they said design work and computer modeling had been underway since early in the year. I believe Steve Phelps also acknowledged he...

    SHR Takes A Big Hit

    Rodney Childers should STFU. The #4 team got away scot-free with the most egregious example of manipulating the playoffs in the history of the playoffs... wrecking the field on a restart at Talladega 2015.

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Charlotte Roval

    Forget about that sireen down at the pool room y'all. I came to Charlotte to ring the bell... Ding... Dinger... Dingest... :growl: Didn't work out as planned, but got a P4... not too shabby.

    NASCAR and RTA are "far apart" on future revenue split

    Well said, @Greg. I think we are a long way from a split between Nascar and the team owners. I think a split is unlikely. I also think a sale of Nascar to the RTA is a longshot, but is a possibility. But the owners want and need a bigger slice of the pie, and they have organized themselves for...

    NASCAR and RTA are "far apart" on future revenue split

    Well, the RTA has retained representation for the media negotiations. And so has NASCAR, separately. That was posted a few weeks ago by Adam Stern, iirc. So the RTA seems to believe they at least have a seat at the table. Second, I certainly don't think a full or partial sale of NASCAR can be...

    NASCAR and RTA are "far apart" on future revenue split

    Thinking outside the box... A few years ago, NASCAR was for sale. I wonder if the RTA discussed making an offer. Stranger things have happened, and could happen again. Regarding leverage... The IRL/CART split in Indycar racing worked out badly for the sport. But there are other examples. In...
