    Xfinity RACE thread --- Martinsville

    Actually, Kyle Busch said basically what you said on that "Race To The Championship" show that's airing on USA Network. I was surprised how candid and blunt he was in speaking about Coach Gibbs at two separate points in a recent episode. First he spoke about how Gibbs always told him he was...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Martinsville

    ^ Now I am completely embarrassed. You're a damn sight better at Commissionering than you are at comedy, I can tell you that! As for $10,000 fines, we are used to such trivial irritations at LewTheShoe Racing. A couple lugnuts here, a couple lugnuts there, it's nothing to a big time race team...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Martinsville

    I am sorry if I have violated some custom that I was not aware of... :dunce: To be honest, I don't know if you are joking, but if not then I appeal. First, I mentioned a minor "C" driver, in the 35th week, when every player's strategy is already firmly settled. Second, I agree there are...

    Xfinity RACE thread --- Martinsville

    WTF? This is a giant cop out by NASCAR. The sport is being overrun by the ethos that you don't need to pass 'em, you just need to wreck 'em. I had hoped that Bubba's penalty last week might signal that NASCAR was gonna crack down on intentional wrecking of competitors... but now they condone...

    Silly Season 2023

    Glad to see this. Parker Kligerman has shown a great deal of persistence over the years. And he's been driving the wheels off that #75 truck... 12 starts this year, one win at Mid-Ohio, four Top-5's, and eight Top-10's. And he's done that driving for a team with one full-time employee aided by...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Martinsville

    I posted earlier in the pre-race thread about my anger and disappointment over Rick Hendrick's attempt to manipulate the race and the 2022 championship. But I'm reiterating my objections here, because I had saved Chase Elliott for this race in the NASCAR Pick 'Em game. Joe Gibbs did the same...

    Xfinity 500 from Martinsville Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    I am absolutely livid about this blatant "points shaving" scheme. I am angry and disappointed that Rick Hendrick and HMS would stoop so low. I am angry and disappointed that NASCAR didn't prevent it from happening. As @AdoubleU24 mentioned earlier, it happened before... Hamlin won pole at the...

    The Food thread

    It's almost November... Thanksgiving is barreling down the calendar and will soon be upon us... so naturally I thought this one-minute video was totally brilliant.

    Welcome back Alex, we all missed ya. And it's been a while since we had a good excuse to post your highlight reel from the early days in Tommy Baldwin's #7 car at New Hampshire...

    Impressive video, a dramatic difference. If this is 33 mph, it makes me wonder about fuel cell integrity when crashing at 2X or 3X that speed...

    Jerry Lee Lewis - RIP

    Godspeed Jerry Lee Lewis. “I am a rock and rollin’, country-and-western, rhythm and blues-singin’ motherf**cker,” he told the Grand Ole Opry audience in 1975, and that pretty much sums up the life and legend of Jerry Lee Lewis. An excellent obituary from Associated Press put it this way...

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    @Formerjackman, are you suggesting that teams have now purchased nose pieces and hoods for their fleet of seven chassis plus maybe some spares, so now should be all set for multiple years? It sure seems like that's what you're saying. I don't know for certain the life expectancy of a given nose...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Homestead-Miami

    Not for me. All my slobber done got knocker'd the last two weeks. I saved two hot shoes for the last two 1.5ers on the schedule, Larson for Las Vegas and Reddick for Homestead. Got P35 and P35 for 70 points in two weeks. If I had reversed the drivers, I'd have scored P6 and P1 and shoulda...

    Cup RACE thread --- Homestead

    From my recliner, Noah *looks* sorta pudgy and soft, and his post-race physical distress seems to fit that, but I think the issue *could be* completely unrelated. I recall that Noah is a long-time client of Josh Wise's fitness, training, and preparation program (and the Google machine just...

    Bubba Wallace Appreciation Thread

    Aunty, thanks for mentioning this. I was compelled to go to Twitter to look for myself. Bleh...:bleh: In general, the PA Posse has a special place in my heart. Been to many Central PA sprint car races, and it's ground zero for the best local, weekly racing on the planet. And this is a special...

    The Announcers Thread

    Allen Bestwick is doing Professional Bull Riders commentary for CBS... He used to say stuff like, "Stand on it, Chase Elliott." But now it's more like, "Don't step in it, Cody Lambert." I'd love to see Bestwick doing NASCAR again. Rick Allen could handle the bulls***, if ya know what I mean.

    Sports writer Ryan McGee captures exactly how I feel about Kurt Busch and his complicated legacy...

    I've seen a lot of glowing posts on here about how admired Kurt Busch is, even revered, and perfectly the opposite of how he used to be. I'll admit I don't abhor the man like I used to do, but at the same time I can't (and won't try to) forget the first dozen or so years of his NASCAR career...
