Would anyone be surprised if Ty Dillon winds up driving a Kyle Busch truck in 2023? I wouldn't. Just an idle thought, pure speculation. I believe it was also rumored earlier in this thread that Chandler Smith might move to Chevy and remain with Kyle's team, as he's a family-funded driver that...

There have been several occasions where Ty Gibbs has been forced to apologize for stuff like that, and I've noticed he never issues a genuine, heart-felt apology... only a half-assed token apology. He starts off okay, it sounds like it might be a genuine apology, but then he goes on to list all...

Kyle Damn Busch. I've picked him *three times* this year and he was at the tail end each time. First, I picked KDB at Pocono, but I missed the deadline by a few minutes, so officially I was a "no pick." Busch took the checkered flag in P2 but was disqualified in post race inspection. Second, I...

My unpopular opinion... 1. - I hate it when aged drivers launch elaborate "farewell tours." It's demeaning to the sport to think 80% of what you used to have is good enough to stay out there with current drivers operating at 100%. Being an elite driver is damn hard to achieve... you can't lose...

Marcus King. The NBC intro is an adaption of his song "The Well" and it's fantastic IMO.

Ben Kennedy *should* have the balls to tell Marcus Smith, "If you do that, whose gonna race on it, because Nascar never will." Of course, Ben would have to have his mother and uncle on board first.

Meh. It's that New Math again... Add 30 tons + 30 pounds + 30 ounces and call it 90 units of weight. I say it's 90 units of gibberish. All race wins mean something, but they don't all mean the *same* thing. In all racing disciplines, wins in the premier division mean a helluva lot more than...

Maybe they could move it to the suburbs for the second and third years of the contract. I'm pretty sure Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is a suburb of Chicago isn't it?

I actually think Tyler Reddick might wind up in the 16 car for 2023, officially entered by Richard Childress but prepared and crewed by Kaulig, same as the 31 car. This would be if Kurt Busch returns to the 45 for 2023. Another possibility for Reddick would be the Spire 77, operated and crewed...

This is exactly right. When Allenbaba offered his opinion that he'd prefer that GM and Ford had the same approach as Toyota, with full-boat factory teams and massive factory-funded driver development pipelines down to the grassroots level, but @Revman is dreaming in a hypothetical world that...

Woah Nellie! The Dinger might be in play for Cup...

Interesting perspective, @Speedbowl14. So you're saying, the "deathbedder vote" dooms TMS to the garbage pile? Make it 1995 again, now and forever!

You didn't address that to me, but here's my opinion of KDB in a Chevrolet... Kyle Busch in a Toyota... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Chevy... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Ford... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Dodge... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Hyundai or Kia... No bueno. Ya see the pattern?

Lofty goals at Roush-Fenway-Keselowski Racing... become relevant again as a two-car team; then expand to three cars; then to four cars. No mention of Xfinity Series... RFK setting long-term goal of four cars – Keselowski "This (win at Bristol) is a good step forward for us. We’ve got a long...

Nascar will apply resin (not the PJ1 used previously) to encourage a 2nd groove at Texas Motor Speedway. Cue the complaints that track prep is a gimmick, except what bulldozers do... that's OK because bulldozers are righteous. Personally, I'd prefer progressive banking but that train has left...

Well, you push the limits to the max in the motors and everything else. It's the only way to win in modern Nascar. Sometimes it bites ya in the butt. It's racing, that's how it goes. It is the same as trying to be faster than the other guy on pit road... sometimes you pass that guy on pit road...

I'll second the notion that there is a lot of recency bias in these two posts. Go back to 2018 (the last year before the NA18D package was foisted upon us by Marcus Smith and Brian France) and before. Charlotte was consistently producing the worst racing on the schedule, and it wasn't even...

Most everyone here on R-F loves to dump on Texas Motor Speedway. I harbor no illusions about changing their minds, but personally I think it's a bum rap. My #1 criteria for a race - any race, every race - is always the same... Is it a stern test of driving skill with results typically...

Cale never shifted on an oval. What more do you need to know?

It's been a tough year for Brad K and RFK Racing. One step forward; two steps back. I was bitterly disappointed when he blew that right front tire with victory almost within sight. Buescher bringing the 17 home was partial redemption, I guess. I still believe Brad's mission as owner/driver is a...
