Came to this thread because I'm Canadian...obligatory post complete, would read again. :cheers:

I'm way too late to this thread but... I'd love to see Denny get his clock cleaned just once. Danica vs. Denny seems like a fair fight to me.

Jeb Burton to the 26 BK racing car. Nice to see Jeb get another chance, I think he's got some talent.

Well damn...sure would be nice to see him get that 5th title. He's earned his place in NASCAR's history. No doubt a top 5 driver of all time in my mind. He'll be missed by everyone in the NASCAR community that's for sure.

I think some kids, especially young boys still have keen interest in cars in general. I don't think many kids have a very long attention span though. If you're a kid today, why would you be interested in NASCAR? It's hard enough taking my kids to a 3 hour hockey game, but going to a NASCAR race...

From my perspective, the kids still grow up playing football, baseball, basketball, hockey and they fall in love with the sport. Racing is pretty much a rich kid's playground nowadays where only the elite can compete. It's just inherently difficult to make it accessible to younger people. You...

What? How does it do that? It helps the guys who perform, the guys don't perform get the boot, pretty simple.

You're right, it's not that philosophical. It's just entertainment, and if it's not interesting or doesn't matter to you then fair enough. My only point is that none of the races REALLY matter, it's just fun, exciting entertainment and we should take it for what it is. If you're saying you don't...

I hear what you're saying, but can we really say that any races matter in the grand scheme of life? No not really, it's just a form of entertainment. That's why I watch them, to be entertained and to enjoy my very limited free time.

That's actually a decent analogy, and even though some say you can't compare stick and ball I disagree to certain extent. There are parallels, after all NASCAR is a team sport too. Much like the team who finishes first overall after the regular season, if they don't perform in the playoffs then...

Here's the issue I have with folks against the current format/Chase. Yes there exists a possibility for anomalies to happen, no question there. However a lot of folks are saying they don't care about all the hoopla surrounding the Chase and pre race stuff, and that's fair enough. As the OP...

I can't remember if it was Kyle or someone else saying that JGR and MWR were currently using different simiulators in their shops. Seems like that would be an obvious first step, get them both on the same page for crying out loud. I agree on what you said about Napa leaving. In fact that leads...

Yeah, how dare McCall take a promotion with another team, who does that? Oh wait, EVERYONE else does that. Keith Rodden, the guy who McCall replaced did the exact same thing but you didn't see Hendrick sue him did you?

Yep, spot on Rev. My best guess would be #3. Childress is definitely vindictive. Remember when AJ was tussling with Austin (can't remember the race) and RC came on the radio saying "if AJ wrecks Austin, I'm pulling JTG's engines tomorrow". Lets also not forget when he went after your boy...

Right, but do you blame the guy for taking a CC job and trying to further his own career? He's not the guy suing here. I mean, would you go home and tell your wife and kids that you're not taking the big promotion across the street because your current boss says you can't?

In stark contrast look at Hendrick and how classy that organization is. Keith Rodden was an engineer for them and he got the CC job with Ganassi. They let him go pursue his dreams and a year later he's back as a CC for them again. Pretty safe to day McCall will never work for RCR again.

That's a move that really hurts the RCR organization in the long run. Why would any up and coming engineer want to go work for Childress if he might sue you when you get a better job somewhere else? Doesn't matter what industry you're in, if you try to hold people back and keep them from...

I was referring to Yates Racing

A year or 2 ago, I had suggested that Penske might supplant Roush as the premier flagship Ford team. I was quickly laughed at and brushed aside as an afterthought. After 2014, given the performance of both organizations and the smaller teams switching alliances, I'd say it's quickly coming to...

It should really say..."JGR hasn't won a championship since Tony Stewart left"...
