Also, it is not tied in with the KDB-RCR deal. So it's not a package deal thing. This implies no special support for the truck team as it has enjoyed under Toyota's care, IMO. Other: KDB to the 8 rather than Tyler because it's multiyear deal, while Reddick's contract is just one year. This...

Congrats to Bubba and the 45 team for a righteous race win. Passed the leader, gaped the field, then minded the gap all the way to the checkers. Hell yeah, Bubba! A classic old school stock car race. What was really apparent to me is the excessive aero drag, and how that just saps the...

I didn't watch this Aaron "Ivermectin" Rodgers video. Did he discuss football or medical research? He claims proficiency in both, but I think a genius like him should focus on medicine... for the good of mankind. Good quarterbacks are dime-a-dozen, relatively speaking.

Why do you assume that Childress wasn't prepared to do that? I recall reading that Reddick had a long-term offer from Childress in hand when he decided to accept the 23XI deal. I believe it was Pockrass that reported that, but frankly I'm not 100% sure. Everyone knows that Childress was pissed...

TL;DW Summary: 1. KDB stopped a half inch short of confirming the RCR deal. The description of sitting down with Richard and discussing the 2010 Kansas punching incident was very telling. 2. He hopes to keep the KBM truck team operating, but it's not assured. I guess there are no drivers with...

Hopefully the Homestead race won't last more than 4 hours..:p

Just FYI to @REBS31 and all who may not have seen his post last week, @gnomesayin said in a dirt track thread that he was going to be off the forum for a while. He indicated in a PM that it may not be a permanent departure. I'm wishing all the best for him and his fam... his posts stand at the...

Chase Elliott also said Nascar communications have been positive and encouraging, per an AP article a few days ago. “You never want to take a step backward,” Elliott said. “It’s been great conversations (with NASCAR) and I think it will end up making a difference.” The AP article quoted Dr...

10.43 Darlington *always* delivers a supreme contest of skill, and this was no exception. This race had everything I crave in a sporting contest. I've been saying for years that Darlington and Homestead tie for the best racing among all 1.5er's, and Darlington has the added benefit of 70+...

In racing, all wins count for something, but they don't all count for the *same* thing. Nascar Cup races are notoriously difficult to win. So often a race seems within the grasp, but then it gets away, so many things can happen. Each cup victory is something to cherish, forever. But to win at...

I call *foul* on this post because you've named a DRIVERS final four including Blaney, but have not named an OWNERS final four. So it is incomplete. << LOL >> My prediction: Drivers: Larson, Elliott, Logano, Blaney Owners: #5, #9, #22, #1 Champions: Blaney, #1

A few years ago, Kurt Busch was in a studio interview, perhaps Race Hub, and they played this 2003 Southern 500 tape with Kurt narrating. At the end, Kurt said, "I've watched that tape probably 100 times... and I lost the race every damn time!" LOL.

I can't disagree with that ideal... but it takes a whole new level of budget. And that's more affordable for Toyota than Ford or Chevy. There is also the issue of Toyota supporting just six cars. If the other OEM's did the same... yikes!

It's rarer than a unicorn to see two top drivers out of two top teams and nobody is mad at anybody. But reading that Floracing article, this seems to be what's happening with B Shep and O'Neal. Good to see it.

Fixed it, Aunty... 20 years of weekly first-ever revivals with The Joonyer in the 3 car... a promoter's dream job.

Scratching my head about both halves of this one, @Kiante. Do you think the FDA decision was a unilateral decision by Mick??

We'll find out over the next year or two. Will McDowell's 34 remain in the top-10? Jones in the 43? Kaulig and Trackhouse? Or will the big players spend F1-style budgets to find a way to dominate? A lot depends on whether those spec parts remain truly spec even for the big well-funded teams...

I'm not @StandOnIt and you didn't ask me, but I'll tell ya anyway... I don't like the business model that Toyota brings to Nascar, and I think it is bad for the sport of Nascar and potentially dangerous to its future. Before Toyota, Nascar team owners were the competitive anchor of the sport...

For sure. IMO, there is a 89.5% correlation between the fans that whine because you didn't call a pre-emptive caution when rain was near, and the fans that whined a couple years ago when you *did call* a caution for impending rain. Imagine the uproar, and the conspiracy theories, if Nascar had...

Grandview opened in 1963 and has remained under the same ownership ever since, until now. The widow of the founder is 80 years old. Her husband passed away decades ago, and subsequently her son operated the track. He passed away a few years ago. I don't see Copart as some sort of villain in...
