Very nice read, thank you for posting that.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in years- Ivan Baldwin. He used to race whatever class of cars( I was a kid- i don't remember what they were called)ran on Friday nights at the old speedway 605 in irwindale. My parents raced Saturday nights in "claimed stocks".

I liked Jackie, enjoyed his enthusiasm and he always made it seem like whatever race it was - it was maybe the most important race ever LOL!

Little brother syndrome- knew he could never be the racer Al was.

That's it! I can hear his voice but couldn't remember his name! Thank you

I think that was around the time they had the Scottish guy as the pit road/ roving reporter. What was his name- for the life of me I can't remember!?! I liked him- much better goofball than the one they have now LOL!

Good read but unless my memory is faulty- and yes that possibility exists- Daytona being the season opener has only existed since around we 1980. I'm pretty sure Riverside used to be the opener, I know I was a kid when we used to go there but I do remember it wasn't long after Christmas LOL!

Good read, thanks for posting. I'll just say I think this is a 2nd step in the right direction, and I really hope we see participants coming up through the ranks in the near future.

The biggest problem I have with the NBC guys- and it's mostly Jeff- is that they feel the need to always be talking. It's ok to just listen to the race for 5 or 10 seconds, it's enjoyable to watch the race and not have useless pratter going on in the background. Every second of airtime does not...

I like Brad. I thought he did a good job when he was on ESPN a few years ago.

Thanks- it's from a Clash song

Where is this so-called podium? I found the stairway to the podium but it said it had zero post and I couldn't access it. Is that it?

I'll try to dig up some old pics my mom gave me years ago that she took on of our trips to riverside. They are from when they had the big wings and Petty's car was still just "Petty blue"- no STP red and Bobby Allison's coca cola car. Had some good memories going there as a little kid!

Um...maybe....not sure what the podium is about?

Hey I kept it short- I even left out the part about liking sunsets and walks on the beach!

For me it's KDB, the F is reserved for REAL legends! Like-" Hey see that guy- that's Richard F...... Petty" or " Dale F....... Earnhardt did it again!" or " Bo F........ Jackson ran over the Boz!". I can't use the F for someone who is only a legend in his own mind haha!

Welcome fellow newbie- like you I lurked for awhile but now we're here! " We're here- we like gears- get used to it!"

I can't argue with that- 10k might be a drop in the bucket for the big cup teams but you're right, I'm sure Mr. Ruch felt that one.

So getting away from the (well deserved) Angela bashing and back to the Original post- yes there should be major repercussions above and beyond a fine! Nascar has come up with this quasi- bubble environment that as far as we know has worked and has kept the sport going. For a team to go around...

Don't really have "my guy" but I usually pull for Elliot, JJ, and even Bowman and who ever puts the bumper to KDB! Was a Larson fan( what the hell was he thinking). Don't mind Harvick, Kez( he has grown on me as he has matured), even Logano. Only a few I can't stand- KDB( obviously LOL)...
