Monster, I would guess, has no interest in going dirt racing. It wants to be represented in major series and that means Hallie Deegan at the Indy 500 now or bust with bust becoming very, very likely.

I watched her in practice and in the NXT race in person. The leaderboard tells the story IMO: she's over 5 seconds distant from Hauger and multiple laps down. She just couldn't get down the power fast enough in corners and I'm guessing she's way too slow on entry as well. JMHO: she'd have been...

I honestly don't know. I do know that Richard Petty also winds up outside NASCAR for a hot second in his prime due to manufacturer politics otherwise his stats would be even better than they are. In that era, being Cup champion was more like being the modern World of Outlaws champion. Saying...

Tough to pass? Yes. Lots of wrecks? Yeah, sadly. But I also get to hang out of a parking garage and see race cars for free today.

Here's what matters: NASCAR probably got as much from Amazon for the Coke 600 as Indycar got from Fox period for the whole year.

The Sides 7S going from young ride buyers to a ride buyer that also happens to have a lot of talent in Windom (brings the Nos cash) is helpful to both parties.

Starting to think I need to be a Reutzel fan solely because I know it'll piss off everyone else at the track to rock his s#it. I can't help but look to the most hated person out there, especially if they're winning.

I listened on Sirius XM on board my cruise; kinda great and old school. Seemed like an entertaining race. I know some folks have big feelings about this not being a photo finish sorta race after the last couple of years but good god, they were all together on track and obviously Palou made a...

Because SVG isn't in Cup due to the presumption he's gonna be a great oval racer. He's in Cup because he is a real threat to win on road/street circuits and the entire structure of the sport benefits teams who hire a specialist capable of making the chase by being able to win one race. Any...

DeFrancesco is Cody Ware minus domestic violence and Harvey is like a more agreeable Corey Lajoie.

He actually won at TMS too; second of the year.

Jr had her on the most recent podcast along with Isabella Robusto and someone else I don't recall. Just a heads up.

If you are really bored, Flo showed a kart race called the Better Half Dash consisting of NASCAR driver wives at TrackHouse's karting facility. I am literally just putting this on now and Julia Piquet (I guess she counts?) is starting on pole.

If I were Indycar, I wouldn't bother with USAC or FIA. Go with NHRA. They're in town now. They're an ACCUS member. They don't have a track record of botching Indycar race management and stewardship. Also, frankly, they deal with higher end cars with more tech and almost certainly have stronger...

I'm not big into conspiracy thought but RLL having a car on the front row that just so happens to have the only Japanese driver in the field in it along with Penske getting caught not on Day 1 but Day 2 are certainly interesting. Ultimately I'm not sure I care all that much about either vs. the...

Woke up to see Armstrong wrecked his car this morning and had to take an ambulance ride. That's too bad for him but hey, that's the speedway for you.

Has NASCAR even bothered yet to have a real safety team rather than contracting local paramedics? Cars are breaking 230mph today. That's all I care about.

It's sort of hard to picture him not winning something like 20 this year when he might have 10 in the bag before June 1. Definitely feels like this year to me that Macri, Gravel, Larson, and Abreu are on a different level than everyone else. Obviously Larson always is, but the other three sort...

Some quick thoughts at this point in the season: -David Gravel looks absolutely on fire. 8 wins in 23 starts this year, no finish worse than 6th. Crazy stats. He will have to fall apart to lose the title this year. -Next tier down in the Outlaws: Schatz moving back to Chevy hasn't been the...

Ransomville tonight for a NY swing: looking forwards to some slick tracks and weird names up front.
