    World of Outlaws 2018

    Took the kid to P'ville last night. Unbelievable action. They knocked the cushion down in qualifying because about 10 guys almost flipped in between 1 and 2. Track was excellent and the racing was amazing. Rico and Brad put on a show and Sheldon was right there in the mix. I sat next to a guy...

    Jamie Mac

    My 7 year old Son will be heartbroken. Jamie has been his driver since we introduced him to racing at 2 years old. He has always liked that we have had drivers who were teammates. I'm almost positive he will just become a Larson fan, but I always enjoyed him having his own personal interest in...

    The Confession thread.

    If my Wife knew the amount of money I have spent at the local tracks, streaming dirt races online and on tickets I would not be here to confess this. Actually, come to think of it, she may very well know, but doesn't want a murder warrant out for her......

    Delaware Restarts:

    I understand not knowing how it works, but thinking that this could not be done in a single caution lap is mind blowing. These guys literally check up at the exit of pit road at the command of their crew chiefs and spotters. This would be something where they talk about if x amount of cars stay...

    Yes I did, but the first part still pertains

    Delaware Restarts:

    Exactly the point. Take a look at the first two responses. There is no conversation here because NASCAR "fans" just like bitching and moaning and griping about everything. Look above. "Imagine a 20 lap caution." Are you kidding me? . There is this thought that it is going to take 10 laps or more...

    Delaware Restarts:

    It takes one caution lap. There is a cone that splits the lanes. Similar to a commitment cone. Put it on the back stretch and on the lap prior to green or two laps prior to green the drivers decide to either stay in the preferred lane or move to the other. It's done in multiple series. If the...

    Delaware Restarts:

    Not from the drivers, from fans. The ones who cannot handle any change in the sport whatsoever.

    Delaware Restarts:

    It's ridiculous that guys lose 4 positions on a restart because tracks are so bad in the second lane. I love the idea that a driver or team can decide to take that risk and either they go from zero to hero or vice versa. I could just see the outrage though if a guy running 13th were to slide up...

    Delaware Restarts:

    This has been discussed here before. The concept is that you have lane choice, but if you are second third fourth and choose the preferred lane behind the leader and the fifth place car chooses the opposite you in turn give up your positioning on track for the preferred lane. It creates...

    The Announcers Thread

    I didn't care for the jeans and T-shirt look and I would prefer for Rick Allen to be back upstairs. When I tune into a race I want it to feel special or significant. I don't want it to seem like I am listening to a podcast. If I wanted to here me and my buddies talk sh!t I would invite them...

    Tony Stewart to fans: ‘Put some pressure on NASCAR’ for Xfinity race at Eldora

    The thing about dirt is that it is ok to lean on each other. Pavement is viewed a little differently, so in a big dirt race that guys want to win they are more willing to take liberties with each other as the laps wind down. The reason we saw 4 wide was because there were legitimately 6 or 7...

    Ricky Stenhouse Daytona bonehead thread

    The expectation for these guys to be perfect the entire race is unrealistic. Was it early to be super aggressive? Yes, but if you are fast you want to get to the front to try and avoid a lot of the calamity. I can't blame Stenhouse for trying to seize his opportunity there. The KyBu wreck was a...

    Ricky Stenhouse Daytona bonehead thread

    I get that Ricky was aggressive and involved in about everything this weekend, but let's not sit here and act like we haven't seen any of this before. I agree that the first wreck was circumstantial. It would not have mattered who was behind Kez, when these guys are pushing and someone has to...

    The WOW moment at Chicago!

    I find the notion of a lesson learned in this whole thing to be humorous. If you think Larson learned anything from it you are ridiculous. He knew that if Kyle got back to him that he was going to get roughed up. Larson knew what he was doing and had no problem with any of it. He would do it...

    The WOW moment at Chicago!

    I love KB. I think he is great for the sport. I think that his fans can be a little hypocritical. Either way you had 2 guys that love to win more than anything. Larson will knock the wall down to get the most speed and momentum out of the car and KB is willing to wreck his family for the W. I...

    The WOW moment at Chicago!

    It wasn't a failed slider. Larson said that he went in to try and get next to him to kill his momentum and when he realized it wasn't going to stick he knew he had to hit him to bog him down. If Larson lifts there his momentum is killed and KB is gone. He pulled a banzai move and it didn't...

    The Announcers Thread

    I also want to say that Jr was great yesterday. He made Letarte easier to listen to. It was very interesting o hear from two guys that are not too far removed from the sport that recently worked together. It is a special kind of look in to their dynamic. Burton is still a hack.

    Rate the Race --- Chicago

    10. Fantastic racing from the drop of the green. My wife is a KB fan and I myself am a KL fan. She asked me if I was pissed after and I said, how can I be? Those two guys went out there and laid it on the line. Larson drove it in knowing that he couldn't wait until 3 and 4 to make a move and...
