If I know they have four hours to get 150,000 people through the gates, and you have to go through extra security, I'm standing in line at 6 or 7 AM.

I would agree that four hours is too short of a window, but once again, if you KNOW that, it's on YOU to get in line early. Like many here probably can relate to, if I had a dollar for every time I slept in a car waiting to get into a track, I'd have some real cash. When I was crewing, I beat...

The thing is, you EXPECT dumb moves from Ricky, it's who he is, and he KNOWS winning one of these is probably the ONLY way he makes the playoffs. Joey? I feel like I should expect more from a three time champ, but honestly, I don't. Regardless how you want to assign blame, it was Joey ONCE AGAIN...

It's only lucky if you put yourself in position to take advantage of it. Nobody notices (or cares) about lucky when you're running 25th.

In defense of William, the 24 was fast all week, he led laps and ran in the top ten most of the night. It's not like this came out of nowhere. Also, the lane he chose was there for the taking, and only he and Reddick took it.

Richard Petty said that about 50 years ago. True then, true now.

I have that many by 9 AM.

Maybe people attending the race should be more prepared and arrive early, ESPECIALLY when there are extenuating circumstances. My goal when I go to a NASCAR race, or other major sporting events, is to be inside the venue within a half hour of the gates opening. When the Brickyard used have the...

I have no idea what precipitated this, but I'm not terribly surprised. The track record of entertainment types and athletes staying involved in auto racing long term is pretty slim. The few that have stayed, like David Letterman, Joe Gibbs, Brad Dougherty, have roots to racing that pre-date...

Well, like I said, if you're a steak place, you don't lead with how good your soup is

It's hard to win mainly because your odds of actually finishing with an intact race car are so small. The statistic at the start of the thread says it all. Some fans find that interesting or exciting. I don't. I much prefer that better drivers and better cars control their own destiny more...

Looks like the scheme for a company that actually WANTS to sell paint.

The thing is, if you exercise too much caution, you'll run 30th. With the guarantee of a playoff spot on the line, you can't be timid, especially if you are a fringe playoff team. The system FORCES you to drive over your head.

I sent a request that he do one on the Hendrick plane crash, but I don't know if he will or not. I believe he flies out of Charlotte, and has to keep his real job on the quiet to not piss off his employer. He has done a few episodes on famous people plane crashes. While flying F15's, he did...

One of my favorite content creators on Youtube is Pilot Debrief, done by a former Air Force F15 pilot (call sign Hoover) and now commercial airline pilot that breaks down aircraft incidents and lays out the mistakes made and how it could have been prevented. He just released a video on Dale Jr's...

Agree 100%. The MPD is debatable, but as mentioned, Chase's dad was MPD forever, and how exciting was he? The merch sales is a more concrete test of popularity, but who REALLY knows. I think it speaks as much to the fact that there really isn't ANYONE else poised to assume the mantle of MPD...

What's the point of holding up the leader when you've run for 182 laps and you're still in 17th place?

We painted ours with the pink paint sticks for night races. The tire changers claimed they could pick up the pink in the shadows better than yellow. We also mostly used Lowe lug nut during the race which were an 8 point nut that took a dedicated socket. Almost impossible to jam in the socket...

Sorry, it pains me to say it, but I think you can stick a fork in Jimmie, he's done as a competitive driver.

Jeff is also in the office and at the track MOST of the time. Is Jimmie doing that?
