Finally some good news for once! Doesn't feel like it has been 20 years. I was sad when they went to the new layout and didn't think we'd ever see the proper one in stock car racing again.

Did you see the guy on CNN saying it'd be a storm for the ages while the children were building sand castles behind him? Had to laugh at that. I'm way inland and knew this wouldn't be anything to worry about really. My power did go out for a few minutes a little while ago but I have...

Finally, someone that was taught to do this like I was. My Dad taught me that way and I always get odd looks from people when I do it. I've even been yelled at by an older family member that was sitting in the back seat for backing out that way. He freaked out and asked me wtf I was doing and...

Just about all of them do. I don't know how much time you've spent in a waiting room as of late but just about all of them have pharmaceutical reps in them at all times. If you can find an honest doctor in this day and age I suggest you stay with him for as long as possible. Look into the...

I watched this race on TV as a youngin' but I can't remember all the details from that day. Anyone at the actual race know if he was really running in 1st when the pace car picked up the field? Always been curious about this one.

I didn't realize they'd done it more than once, sadly I often work weekend now and don't get to watch as often as I used to. It was the first year they did it and I'm surprised so much time has passed. Yea I understand they're getting up there in years and they're out of practice but I'm sure...

I don't have much to add here but I wanted to talk about something my Dad and I noticed last time we sat down together and watched a race. Remember that "throwback" race they have at Darlington a couple of years ago? I know it has been awhile... We started watching when they had Ned and the...

It was not relevant to the context of the post he was quoting. I wanted to have a conversation about the points I brought up that didn't degrade into "you don't watch" or "well it's good this year". A half season of decent racing doesn't even begin to make up for a decade of crap, nor does it...

A big blow to me and all of the teams that operate out of this state, which is most of them. Irreverent to the discussion.

Wondering if anyone has video of this: I went to a race at Martinsville sometime in the early-mid 90s. It was before they re-configured the track so it still had two pit-roads. We were sitting in turn 2 so I had a really good view down the pit-road on the backstretch. Sometime around halfway...

I don't take issue with them expanding. I take issue with them expanding by building the same race track over and over again. Had they built road courses, short tracks, or super speedways it would have been different. Most fans complain about begin sick of the "cookie cutter" tracks. Well...

Why does everything have to be an "ism" these days? I'd probably be watching it in HD as well considering everything on my local station comes in HD. It came out of the region I grew up in and the days of running into a driver at a local diner are gone. That's all I'm saying. NASCAR is...

You're right it was the total package. The quality of the broadcast has gone way down over the years. In the early-mid 90s the coverage was better and there was more experience in the booth. There was less focus on the big names and more on the entire field. There were far less commercials...

I'm going to go a long with these other guys: go see the Bristol race. The road courses are great but Bristol is considered one of the best tracks on the circuit and we don't have many of the old school short tracks left on the schedule. You'll also be able to see the entire track and watch...

She's on track.

3 wide into turn one on a restart, something finally gave.

A touge is usually a race that takes place on a mountain road. Since the roads are typically narrow a certain style of racing evolved in Japan. Two cars will go down the mountain one behind the other, if the lead car pulls away from the following car he is declared the winner. If the...

Since we're posting pictures here is one I took at the spring race this year.

The locals will start filing in soon. Everyone goes for breakfast before heading to the track. ;)

I searched around google some more and found out that someone cut the brake lines on about half the cars. There was sand found in the gas tanks too. Most of what I found is related to the track begin cursed though so I was hoping someone could fill me in on the incident itself. There doesn't...
