    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    I've read every post in this 32-page discussion, and I still can't get over the amount of disdain many of y'all have for the economic plight of the team owners. These are the guys that make the show happen every week, so be careful who you neglect. Add me to the apparent minority of R-F members...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Talladega

    30 races are in the books, 6 more races to go, Now is the time to make my move... I believe in setting goals and working hard to achieve them. It's true in life, and it's true in the Nascar Pick 'Em business. Since the Daytona 500 in February, my goal has been 540 points for the year, an...

    It's 'Watkins GLEN', not 'GleNN'. One N, not two. Thank you.

    If Jim Bob Cooter isn't a crew chief on a dirt late model team, he sure as hell should be.

    Silly Season 2025

    Jordan Bianchi has published his latest silly season update in The Athletic. He cautions that none of these moves are yet done deals and will not be final until the teams announce them. Corey LaJoie... probably to the RWR #51 "according to multiple sources involved in the discussions." Justin...

    Silly Season 2025

    I hate to see this. Parker Kligerman is a gritty competitor. He has a knack for getting maximum performance out of minimum resources. He drove the wheels off that #75 Food City truck... a team with just one paid employee IIRC. Same thing with the #48 Big Machine Xfinity car, another team with...

    Cup RACE thread --- Daytona

    After debating points systems and championship formats on here for 5 years or more, I totally lost interest in repeating the same things over and over again. My opinion is... life's too short to keep repeating stuff you've already repeated 50+ times. I guess that makes me a simpleton or...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Daytona

    Well, at Daytona @LewTheShoe had the same pick as you, Ryan Preece, who wound up in 39th place. Preece had a very fast Ford, qualified on the second row, surrounded by Stewart Haas teammates and the Ford's from Front Row, Penske, and RFK. So the dumb ass intentionally throws away the relative...

    The Announcers Thread

    Am I the only one who would rather listen to fingernails screeching down a chalkboard rather than listen to Leigh Diffey call a race? I'm certainly no fan of Rick Allen, but Diffey is way more gerbil-ized than Allen.

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Michigan

    Fair warning to all who have saved the "best drivers" for the stretch run... 25% of the remaining races are at drafting tracks!!! Chaos shall prevail!!! Daytona - Atlanta - Talladega... these are tracks that will destroy your "best drivers," while handing top-5 finishes to genuine weekly...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Michigan

    When "The Commissioner" posted the picks yesterday, I saw that I was "on an island" with Chris Buescher as nobody else picked him. I'm happy with a P6... after snagging a W last week with Dipsh*t Dillon... a sign that maybe my lousy racing luck has changed for the better. One-third of the season...

    Keselowski too. I don't understand why guys that are not in a tight points battle would stay out. Buescher needs the stage points to make the playoffs, but Byron and Kez do not.

    Scott Bloomquist

    Godspeed to "Black Sunshine," a true giant in late model dirt racing. One of the most colorful nicknames in all of sports, and one of the most appropriate, IMO.

    The Cucumber Returns

    It's a better decision than I anticipated, but I still say the 3 team having the official race victory is unsatisfactory to me. Encumbered wins are a bad deal that left a stench a few years ago when Nascar was handing them out on a regular basis. Going back to that is a bad move, IMO. Race wins...

    Trackhouse Racing Team

    I'm very glad to see Daniel Suarez get the contract renewal. He is a valuable asset to the Nascar industry, and his story is a heart-warming boot strap success story backed up by hard work and a willingness to take enormous risks to generate his opportunity. Really, he risked everything to make...

    Singer Pitbull takes Ownership Role at Trackhouse Racing

    I am saddened by the dismissive and cynical attitudes displayed... "Pitbull" is a founding partner/co-owner of Trackhouse, along with majority owner Justin Marks. From a dream and a concept, but no cars, no employees, no sponsors... to a winning cup team and recently expanded to a very...

    Cup RACE thread --- Indy

    I love the Brickyard 400, it is always one of the most intriguing races of the year (to me). And here is my favorite photo of kissing the bricks. Little Scarlett Keselowski is like, "I'm glad Daddy won, but that kissing thing is stupid and dirty, and I'm not doing it."

    Silly Season 2025

    B Kez. And Blaney was already mentioned. Davey Allison was speculated about, but such speculation doesn't count IMO.

    Stewart-Haas Racing

    I'd like to see Penske bring Chase Briscoe to the 2 and Noah Gragson to the 21. It seems as if all the insiders assume Burton's run in the 21 will end this fall, but I also believe the 2 car is in dire need of an upgrade.

    Should Nascar give Kyle Larson a waiver?

    Greg sums up my opinion on the waiver very well... it was a force majeure absence due to weather, after jumping through all the hoops to race the 600. So grant the waiver. I support the rule that a playoff driver has to have run all the races, and I think waivers should be very limited. An...
