    I'm sure it was just an assembly error, a trivial oversight, and certainly did not create any performance advantage... LOL.

    Does Joe Gibbs Even Care Anymore?

    And don't forget the Jewish space lasers, they had a lot to do with it too.

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Charlotte Roval

    All five of these racers will finish the year *ahead* of positions 31 - 36, who fell behind and dropped out. Even being last among those still competing beats the hell outta those DNF's. So congrats to all who are still hanging in there... :cheers:

    The Announcers Thread

    That's a good article, and re-forming a drivers group is a good and important thing IMO. Jeff Burton is probably a good choice to head it up. {Hint to NBC... do us all a favor and free up Burton to spend *full time* working on the drivers' council, hint, hint.} Speaking of driver advisory work...

    Silly Season 2023

    Jordan Bianchi (The Athletic) reports that "The Dinger" will be full-time in the Kaulig #16 Cup car for 2023. To be announced Wednesday at the Kaulig Racing Fan Day celebration. No word yet on plans for the Xfinity Series #16 that A.J. drives full-time currently...

    You sound like that famous quote from Will Rogers about the stock market... Will Rogers: Making money in the stock market is simple. You buy stock. When it goes up in value, you sell it. Simple. Set Up Man: What if it doesn't go up? Will Rogers: Then you don't buy it! Yes, a charter is an...

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    I don't see how Next Gen Version 2.0 for next year would be a big financial setback for the teams. Certainly the bigger teams turned over all or most of their chassis every year when racing Gen 6 and prior. Some of the smaller teams with less funding ran year-old chassis, so maybe they were...

    LOL. Can you guess (before watching the video) what was Bowman's request to Noah...

    YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Pre-Race

    I don't approve of Noah Gragson stepping out of the Beard Motorsports #62 to hop in the 48 for Talladega. He has been the regular driver of the 62 for several years at plate tracks. They gave him that ride when he had nothing going on at all for Cup races. Sunday is his last contracted race with...

    YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Pre-Race

    Alex Bowman at the 1:20 mark... "I don't understand how this thing's still rolling. That's the hardest I've crashed anything in my entire life." Wow. IIRC, a stated Next Gen design objective was to strengthen the driver's area for massive, extreme hits such as Ryan Newman took at Daytona...

    It's not gonna "exhibit" favorably with Red Farmer driving it.

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    Rodney Childers' explanation about how the teams are using low tire pressures to create maximum downforce was a huge eye-opener to me. Nascar could respond by publishing tire pressures at pit exit, either in real time or at the conclusion of the race. This would add a ton of transparency to the...

    Silly Season 2023

    Would anyone be surprised if Ty Dillon winds up driving a Kyle Busch truck in 2023? I wouldn't. Just an idle thought, pure speculation. I believe it was also rumored earlier in this thread that Chandler Smith might move to Chevy and remain with Kyle's team, as he's a family-funded driver that...

    Bonehead of the Week: Texas

    There have been several occasions where Ty Gibbs has been forced to apologize for stuff like that, and I've noticed he never issues a genuine, heart-felt apology... only a half-assed token apology. He starts off okay, it sounds like it might be a genuine apology, but then he goes on to list all...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Texas

    Kyle Damn Busch. I've picked him *three times* this year and he was at the tail end each time. First, I picked KDB at Pocono, but I missed the deadline by a few minutes, so officially I was a "no pick." Busch took the checkered flag in P2 but was disqualified in post race inspection. Second, I...

    My unpopular opinion... 1. - I hate it when aged drivers launch elaborate "farewell tours." It's demeaning to the sport to think 80% of what you used to have is good enough to stay out there with current drivers operating at 100%. Being an elite driver is damn hard to achieve... you can't lose...

    New "what are you listening to thread"

    Marcus King. The NBC intro is an adaption of his song "The Well" and it's fantastic IMO.

    Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    Ben Kennedy *should* have the balls to tell Marcus Smith, "If you do that, whose gonna race on it, because Nascar never will." Of course, Ben would have to have his mother and uncle on board first.

    Strongest Rookie Classes

    Meh. It's that New Math again... Add 30 tons + 30 pounds + 30 ounces and call it 90 units of weight. I say it's 90 units of gibberish. All race wins mean something, but they don't all mean the *same* thing. In all racing disciplines, wins in the premier division mean a helluva lot more than...
