I think that run by the 24 in the second half of 1998 is the most impressive thing I have seen in my 50 years of watching racing. If it had happened during the era of social media, people, particularly non-Gordon fans would have been absolutely losing their minds. I never would have imagined at...

In order to win you have to give yourself a chance to win. Wrecking yourself repeatedly when you probably have the fastest car doesn't advance that agenda.

Also keep in mind that if the 5 team doesn't get Kyle out of the pits first at Phoenix, he has ZERO championships. Tell me his way is the right way after he has won a couple of these.

Perhaps, but I have always idolized Foyt and Mears and Al Unser and Pearson and Gordon and Johnson, guys that knew how to win as often as they could, and run top five when they couldn't. Win one week and stuff it in the fence the next is not my style. I'm not Clyde Torkel.

Help me if I'm missing one, but what race has he WON this year by being crazy aggressive? All I can think of is the ones he lost.

Has anyone bothered to calculate where Bowman would be if he was still in? I imagine he would still be below the cut line, but those two top tens should have him close enough to possibly advance.

I wanted him to realize that move wasn't going to work, back off for one second and then attack them again. The guy is on the final four bubble. Points matter, and finishing third would have been MUCH better than 13th, or worse, crashed out. I'm much more of the cold calculated assassin fan...

The problem is that he is ALWAYS trying to hit a home run when sometimes a base hit is all the situation really calls for.

He was very good over a two decade + span, and if he had stayed with Junior Johnson long term I think he would have easily surpassed Pearson, if for no other reason than he was running twice as many races. I haven't had anyone else fact check it, but it is my contention that BA won races with...

To my knowledge, nobody EVER asked the fans what THEY wanted. This was all about NASCAR selling its soul to the TV networks, and having to pay up when the devil came calling. It's one of the great ironies of NASCAR. They so willingly sold their soul for a few extra shiny coins, and then when...

The problem there is as much as it was a bullsh*t rule, the car did not confirm to the rule as written. If Steve Hmeil and Robin Pemberton are to believed, Jack Roush set the whole mess in motion by pissing off NASCAR and many of the other competitors the week before at Daytona during pre-race...

I also don't think it is any secret that Bobby is not in the best of health, and Jim France may well of figured if they didn't act soon, they might never get the chance to properly acknowledge the win with a living winner. I feel this way about the Hall of Fame. There are some people that WILL...

Can't prove it, but the popular theory is that NASCAR was particularly PO'd at Bobby at that time, so they took the fact that he won the race driving a Grand American car as an opportunity to punish him in a not so overt way.

To all the people who have so much faith in NASCAR, how come it took 53 years for them to figure out that SOMEBODY won that race? In light of current events, I think it's appropriate to point out that NOBODY consistently poked the bear that is NASCAR more than one Robert Arthur Allison. Bobby is...

Despite the fact that Logano is right there with being my LEAST favorite driver of the last 20 years, you have to hate the system, not the driver that takes advantage of it, and even though he shouldn't have even BEEN in this round of the playoffs, you can't fault Joey or the 22 team for taking...

It's funny to me that with all of the head case drivers and actual bad actors out there, Matt seems to be the one of the only ones that paid a real price. And for what? Because he speaks his mind and has some opinions that some might disagree with? I feel awful for the Wood Family, as there are...

My only counter to that would be that Elliott saw what was about to happen and was trying to bail out. Should not Reddick, who had the best view of all used a little more discretion?

They didn't need charters to guarantee starting spots. The various NASCAR car owner plans accomplished that in the short term and easily could have been modified to accomplish it for a much longer term. The same goes for the payouts. The reason the RTA was pushing for charters was EXACTLY to...

My NUMBER ONE pet peeve in racing and sports in general is the unforced error. hundreds of ways to lose that you cannot control, so you HAVE to take care of business with all the things you CAN control. This was a clusterf**K with monumental consequences. The only thing worse would be a...

I guess it might depend on whether the engineer has a hard card. If they do, that might open them up to discipline from NASCAR.
