Unless you and your sister's parents are Torvill and Dean, your experience isn't analogous to Corey Lajoie's. Speaking of, if you turned on the next 4 winter Olympiads and half the skaters were kids of past Olympic skaters, wouldn't you find that just a little bit weird to be watching Kerrigan...

The drivers are independent contractors. They aren't even employees. And I don't know that acting even MORE like a monopoly is going to be helpful to NASCAR right now.

Very, very few drivers remotely merit being called this at the top levels, though obviously at this stage every level of motorsports is full of ride buyers, almost all of whom have a dream attached to their procurement of making it to NASCAR where the most money can be made (thus providing ROI...

I didn't say he bought a ride either. Obviously Randy has connections and probably invested a smidge in Corey's career. But the connections he had put Corey well ahead of even a local legend's kid or the son of a local trucking magnate. That's how it is. I get it. At the same time, I also don't...

Obviously not nor am I arguing it anywhere. Obviously not nor am I arguing it anywhere. How many of their dad's had Corey LaJoie's dad's status? You know, a long time competitor at NASCAR's top two touring series that has gone on to stay a fixture due to his seat business? For a ticket to a...

Kyle Larson came back to NASCAR because Hendrick gave him a seat and a big enough paycheck to do so. If no owner goes out and effectively self funds a Larson entry, he might not be in NASCAR now. As in today, January 29th, 2025. He'd have to go get his own sponsor and there's some, you know...

USAC also announced a date at one of my local tracks (Butler Motor Speedway) for the Sprint Cars. Really looking forwards to that in addition to High Limit and any other shows I can catch there in 2025.

Usually their parents paid for it? Is this news? "Cody Ware in NASCAR only because his dad is worth 9 figures; More at 11!"

NASCAR doesn't provide anything other than some playoff points for winning the regular season title, right? Asking for a friend. All the Kyle Larson fans upset he races other things than NASCAR could always petition the Frances to provide substantial cash incentives to teams and drivers for...

We're also talking about Kyle Larson fans. Fans of the man known as Kyle Larson: co-owner of High Limit Racing, champion of the Chili Bowl and Knoxville Nationals and 4 Crown Nationals and Kings Royal and even I think a B-Mod race last year that was a support event to a late model race he was...

No. He doesn't have a driver that's capable of matching Kyle Larson for the other 10/15/20 races. No one does. And he certainly isn't going to pay Larson the same money to contribute less to the way in which Hendrick Motorsports gets money from NASCAR. The NBA cares about a lot of things. It...

Because he races for money and he's being paid to race full time in Cup. If someone came to him for a deal for the same money and half the races, he'd probably do it. That deal doesn't exist.

The 76ers have the exclusive rights to Joel Embiid's competitive basketball play. If Joel Embiid plays in France instead of the NBA, it is because the NBA and 76ers wanted that to happen, which means they collectively see more value in him playing that game than they do suiting up for the 76ers...

Do you really think that if he was Corey Smith from Bangor, ME that he goes anywhere? No. He's in this sport because of his dad. That is obvious to literally everyone. If Kerry Earnhardt's dad wasn't an absentee Dale, do you think he ever starts a Cup race either? C'mon. I have no patience for...

I cite this often, but that interview I saw with Justin Haley where he's like "I don't care about the Indy 500, I'm from NC" was extremely informative to me about how he perceives NASCAR and himself. He's generally right that he's racing in front of wide swaths of aluminum if he's in Trucks or...

His dad's career was basically what he just trashed (forays into being a Roush R&D car pilot aside), and he's a nepobaby riding in his father's coattails. And he hasn't won a race at that level or even been particularly good at the Cup level. Certainly he hasn't done anything to demand a seat...

This f'n guy, LMAO. Think of all the levels this is relevant on: his dad, his own career, how he perceives himself, et al. Never felt more validated about starting a thread about a driver.

Didn't see this before, but I'll just say that there was often not a clear champion in college football historically. At all. There isn't any question as to whom won the NASCAR title in any given year, but there are multiple examples of years where the AP and Coaches polls disagreed, not to...

Don't worry, they have the rest of the season still to make rash decisions. I'm betting that they will!

Am I watching the 24 Hours of Daytona or the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing? Nepobabies gonna nepobaby, I guess, regardless if they're a futures trader from Hamilton Ontario or a 15 year old from Plano Texas.
