    Brad Keselowski - Official Thread

    Just putting this retrospective on the 2012 championship here, for the record. I don't know if Brad's big gamble to leave Penske and join Roush Fenway as a co-owner will pay off or not. The jury is still out. But it's an admirable effort IMO, and I for one respect what what B Kez is trying to do.

    Playoff Fever spreads to Supercross and Motocross... with $10 million purse promised

    Fifty years (!) after the birth of Supercross, it looks like AMA Motocross and Supercross are finally going to collaborate for the mutual good of both forks of the motocross industry. Yikes, it comes with a playoff... three races in the fall to crown the SuperMotocross Champion... and they are...

    Silly Season 2023

    It's more commonly called a "media availability" and is completely routine, but some random fan named Jason with a twitter account has called it an "announcement." So I'm not expecting anything to get announced in that time slot.. :idunno:

    Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

    Dale's take on the last restart is pretty reasonable IMO.

    Time to look at playoff format?

    There might be 17 cars in the playoffs this year, including the #45 Toyota driven by Ty Gibbs..:bazooka: Writing in The Athletic, Jeff Gluck quoted Denny Hamlin as saying 23XI has been discussing with Nascar what would happen if Kurt Busch is not cleared to race at Darlington. Reading between...

    Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

    It's not often that I fundamentally disagree with @FLRacingFan, but this time I do. FL is saying... (a) it's a dirty move but (b) Chase should have expected that and therefore selected the inside lane, and (c) since he didn't do that he now owes payback to Larson. I'm as critical as anyone of...

    Cup RACE thread --- Watkins Glen

    I agree with Pockrass. A driver should race his teammate the same way he'd race others... aggressively but not dirty. I think that's exactly what we saw on Sunday. If a move is kosher against a random competitor, then it's kosher against your teammate. And by the same token, if a move is over...

    Silly Season 2023

    Some random Nascar fan with a twitter account sez the Door Bumper Clear guys sez 10% chance but he ain't revealing what the merch hauler guy sez to nobody's father-in-law so it's a grain-of-salt deal without that.. :idunno:

    Bonehead of the week: Watkins Glen

    I know it's a tired cliche, but if there was ever a time to say, "Rubbin' is racin'", then this is it. Like @SOI said, I nominate the gerbils, first for "radio style." People, we have pictures. We're not listening to radio. Second, for trying to make controversy out of the final restart. That's...

    Johali's Rate Cup race ---Watkins Glen

    I agree it was a great race. I can understand Chase Elliott fans being disappointed," but there's no justification for being "mad." Mad at what, exactly?

    Kimi Räikkönen NASCAR Appreciation Thread

    Kimi is good at learning new circuits and quickly getting up to speed. The haiku below shows his prowess at figuring out the circuit... If Raikkonen ever contemplates a sequel to his first book of poetry, I'll submit the following for his consideration (and I don't even request any...

    Kimi Räikkönen NASCAR Appreciation Thread

    It's sad that many fans of roadracing are so ignorant and dismissive about oval racing. Ovals and road courses demand different things, or more accurately, demand the same array of things but weight them differently. Roadracing is more about laying down fast lap times; ovals are more about...

    Kimi Räikkönen NASCAR Appreciation Thread

    Charlie, as others have pointed out, Alonso hit Indianapolis like a thunderbolt, qualifying on the 2nd row, racing up front all day, leading many laps, in contention for the win with 21 laps to go until yet another star-crossed Honda engine "done blowed up." Additionally, his impact could be...

    Kimi Räikkönen NASCAR Appreciation Thread

    @cheesepuffs you are clearly a fan of Kimi Raikkonen. So am I, that's why I started this thread. We are both fans. One of us is able to admit that Kimi's F1 accomplishments, impressive as they are, could have been even better if he had been willing to put in the work that was required, and one...
