    Larson starts storm over autographs on Twitter

    NASCAR does not have a union for its drivers does it? So who brokers the deals and the payouts for the drivers and their merchandise? Maybe, just maybe Larson is shedding light on something that desperately needs to be changed. Yeah, I think you nailed it...... The guy who comes home to...

    Larson starts storm over autographs on Twitter

    It's exactly how he came up. There are a bunch of old timers in here begging for yester-year and the days where Richard turned the wrench on his own car. Get with it, it's 2017 and these mega stars haven't turned a wrench on their cars in over 20 years. Kyle's twitter comments are bot going to...

    Larson starts storm over autographs on Twitter

    Let's break this down for a minute......many here have seen my story at Sonoma from a few weeks ago. My son is a huge Jamie fan. We failed miserably at getting wristbands for my son to meet Jamie, Hamlin and Larson. However, as a parent you try to find a way to make it right. When the drivers...

    Larson's Run of Dirt Wins....

    I just do not understand the complaining of cup guys racing in lower series. As a fan, if I am paying to see an event, something that it is entertainment because as a fan we have no money truly invested in the outcome nor do we reap any of the rewards of the final results, I wan to be...

    Cup RACE thread --- Sonoma

    Oddly enough Kyle Busch took Larson and I think the 43 three wide in 7 and they all made it ok, even with contact. I do t really know if she could have saved it, but she was throttle down all the way and could have possibly laid the brake to stop from sliding down. Hard to judge it when we don't...

    2017 Sonoma - Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Pre Race Thread

    Yeah, its what makes it so great. These guys are like super heroes taming these out of control cars to these kids and to most adults. This is the reason why it is so hard for me to be critical of the sport. I still look at it from the eyes of my 5 year old. We have a photo of the two of us as we...

    2017 Sonoma - Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Pre Race Thread

    So here is a fun story from Sonoma today. We took my 5 year old because A) he loves the races, but B) Sonoma was doing a meet and greet with Larson, Hamlin and McMurray(his driver). To get in you had to ha e a wristband that they were giving out starting at 9am when the track opened. We arrive...

    2017 Sonoma - Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Pre Race Thread

    I live in Modesto, it's 111 right now. I know the heat. The weather pattern is cooling beginning over the weekend, 84 on Saturday and 82 on Sunday and then back into the high 70's in Sonoma next week. I have been 7 out of the last 10 years and we have had 2 years of hot weather. I hate the heat...

    2017 Sonoma - Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Pre Race Thread

    We go almost every year. There are years where the traffic has sucked and years where it hasn't been all that bad. We have figured out a way through the winding vineyards once we get out of the lots that seems to be faster, but that "California Heat" hasn't been hot in a while out there. It is...

    Rate the race: Michigan 1

    7. Love the sin, but the racing was just ok. Rely like the Larson pass on the bottom and the fact that he held it down on every restart after. His slider in front of Chase was a good one too. Chase was dicking him a little and he shoves it in front of him with little space. Larson and Truex is...

    What is Gibbs feeding these drivers?

    This comment ****** kills me. You all act like the field is full of kids who just hopped off the local short track. He beat Elliot Sadler, the dude is like 45 years old with a wealth of cup experience, Regan Smith etc. Then we act like William Byron is some kid who ru s a local LM. The mother...

    2017 Sonoma - Toyota/Save Mart 350 - Pre Race Thread

    We are heading up Friday night and will be there Saturday and Sunday. My kid is going to get his chance to meet J-Mac, which is the whole reason for the trip this year. He is with Larson and Hamlin for a kids only autograph session on Saturday. We are in the esses on Sunday and main grandstand...

    Cars 3

    Just got back from seeing it. Without giving any spoilers, it is primarily focused on the sport and the transition we are seeing today. It focuses on how today's drivers use wind tunnels, simulators etc. How old timers are resistant to change and how the racing today is so dialed into every so...

    NASCAR Death Bed

    Yeah I am the same. My Sundays are lazy NASCAR days. I am not coming off the chair until after the race. I get my release from life in my sport viewing.

    NASCAR Death Bed

    SO much of this is true. Society has evolved in such a way that every single sport and entertainment has found it difficult to get people to keep engaged for 3 plus hours. I'm 32 years old and I consider myself a bit of an older generation type of guy, but I will pay extra money for my...

    Rate The Race: Pocono 1

    I don't really see what is wrong with it? There are a ton of local short tracks that do this now as well. They will take a 125 lap LM race and make it 75 and then 50. It allows for adjustments to the car, but no tire changes. I like that they allow the teams to try and take big swings at it...

    Rate The Race: Pocono 1

    I think a 6 is about right. The actual race was less than stellar, but the finish was pretty good. I did find it interesting hat there were so may complaints and issues with brakes and I liked how there were 3 different strategies to finish. I really believe the stage racing has created some...
