I questioned it because when Jimmie bought in, it was a Chevy team, which made a certain level of sense for him, and then boom, it's suddenly a Toyota team. And sorry, I keep hearing different scenarios about how TRD and Legacy got together and I think there has been some adjustments to the...

Bickford was certainly using every tool at his disposal to advance Jeff's career, but he wasn't just buying him rides, because THAT kind of money wasn't there. Frankly, even if he DID, so what? It's the old Chase Elliott argument. Did Chase have the silver spoon? Absolutely, but let's not...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but this is absolutely NOT how I recall this going down when it happened. I distinctly remember an interview saying Wilson reached out to Gallagher, and I also remember wondering if Jimmie was REALLY on board with this, being he was a brand new minority owner at the...

That's complete BS. John Bickford was a working class schlep that didn't have the money to pay off ANYBODY, and they didn't lobby anyone to change the age requirement, they simply MOVED to where the rules were more relaxed. If you've seen where they lived in "Arm"Pittsboro Indiana, you would...

Evidently Richard Childress, Justin Marks and Dan Towriss haven't got that memo......

When you sign on with the 5 car, you go in KNOWING that your driver has other focuses outside of NASCAR. It either works for you or it doesn't. There's hundreds of people that will happily take your place working for a generational talent. It was the same way with Tony Stewart, AJ Foyt, Mario...

Rick has a closet full of Cup championship and Coke 600 trophies. What he DOESN'T have is a Borg Warner Trophy. (Yes, I KNOW you don't get the trophy) If you are a guy like Mr. H and you have climbed every mountain NASCAR has to offer MULTIPLE times, you start to look for things you don't have...

I have heard they want back in, but the problem is trying to gain market share if you are not the "in house" engine supplier for a truck manufacturer. With Mack/Volvo, Paccar and International all doing their own thing, Detroit still being the de-facto home supplier for Freightliner, and Cummins...

If you are going to be the ultimate Toyota homer, then you have to take the bad with the good. Just like "my" race team, I refuse to be a homer for "my" manufacturer when they deserve to be criticized, as they so often do.

I didn't even realize Daihatsu was even still in business, that's how irrelevant they are.

My employer had stopped buying them, replacing them with the new Mack MD medium duty, but due to post pandemic supply issues, we had to relent and buy a few more Hino's to meet our customer's needs. The trucks themselves were always well liked by the drivers, but we started to have a LOT of...

I just saw the story when it hit the news wire and thought of you Rev. That's alright, "MY" manufacturer is incompetent, and "yours" is a cheater. :cool:

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a $525 million civil penalty against Hino Motors and its U.S. subsidiaries. In late 2020, Hino paused U.S. truck production due to difficulty meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency...

You could bulldoze Daytona and Talladega tomorrow and I wouldn't shed a tear.

I think the more important thing to remember is that once you are out of that market, the cost and the governmental and nimby hurdles involved in getting back in are likely insurmountable. (Remember New York City?) Sometimes assets have a built in value that is worth far more than its book...

I don't either, but it's just another example of the ****** way the France family conducts their business, and I think they need to be called out for it.

It's not NASCAR's job to determine how fast an entry will be or where it will finish. Its job is to determine if a driver has the qualifications to be there. I would contend Wallace's body of work should make him eligible. I will also say that I could careless either way, but I get tired of...

But you have to look at what your core business is, and decide what is MORE important. GM could probably make a LOT of money selling all of their assembly plants, but THEN WHAT? Once again, we were told how important this market was. Even if they make a huge profit on selling this property, are...

Then have the balls to just come out and SAY that, don't keep playing this dog and pony show.

I"ll remind you that James Hylton was allowed to attempt to qualify for the 2007 Daytona 500 at age 73 and after having not run a Cup race since 1993, and in between only making field filler starts in ARCA, Xfinity, and trucks. By the way, James did a great job, was a threat to nobody, and was...
