I don't dislike Ross at all, I think he is entertaining, and like underdogs that bust their ass to succeed, but the move at COTA was just as dumb as possibly can be, not because he spun out Chase, but because it had about a 1% chance of succeeding, and could have ruined a LOT of people's day. I...

WHY?

I miss Brett because he was unfiltered and he gave a lot of perspective from the sponsorship and marketing side. Tommy has been a great addition, giving both a crew chief and a car owner's perspective. Casey was completely useless. I don't know how smart she actually is, but she projected...

Near the end, during one of the tight battles for the lead, the camera angle chosen was one where basically all you could see was the back of a grandstand. The cars were too close to the front side of the stands to be seen. I don't really understands how that happens. What is the producer in...

At the first Brickyard, the two guys between our seats and the aisle started drinking beer about 6 AM. They ended up spending over HALF the race going to the bathroom. They never openly appeared intoxicated, but who wants to score one of the hottest tickets in the history of racing, and spend...

When you try to go from row 5 to row 2 on the first corner of the race, and are going too fast to make the turn without using someone else's car to stop you, that's not racing, that's a jackass move. Yes, others have done it, but Ross has been around long enough to know better.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they share many of the same fans, and both organizations are fully aware of that, and play it up to their benefit. Personally, I'd rather stick my head in a blast furnace than watch WWE or MMA, but like so many things, I'm probably in the minority.

I have always found it interesting that likely the same people who would camp out on a sidewalk to buy concert tickets or stand in the freezing cold for hours on Thanksgiving night to save $100 on a laptop at Best Buy, bitch about having to get to ACTUAL events early to use expensive tickets...

I noticed really big gaps in the main grandstand a few minutes before the initial start. Maybe those people were on site, but they weren't in their seats yet. This was the camera pointing from the roof down towards the start/finish line.

How memorable would they be without all the aggressive driving? Once thy go three wide, there isn't much happening.

If I know they have four hours to get 150,000 people through the gates, and you have to go through extra security, I'm standing in line at 6 or 7 AM.

I would agree that four hours is too short of a window, but once again, if you KNOW that, it's on YOU to get in line early. Like many here probably can relate to, if I had a dollar for every time I slept in a car waiting to get into a track, I'd have some real cash. When I was crewing, I beat...

The thing is, you EXPECT dumb moves from Ricky, it's who he is, and he KNOWS winning one of these is probably the ONLY way he makes the playoffs. Joey? I feel like I should expect more from a three time champ, but honestly, I don't. Regardless how you want to assign blame, it was Joey ONCE AGAIN...

It's only lucky if you put yourself in position to take advantage of it. Nobody notices (or cares) about lucky when you're running 25th.

In defense of William, the 24 was fast all week, he led laps and ran in the top ten most of the night. It's not like this came out of nowhere. Also, the lane he chose was there for the taking, and only he and Reddick took it.

Richard Petty said that about 50 years ago. True then, true now.

I have that many by 9 AM.

Maybe people attending the race should be more prepared and arrive early, ESPECIALLY when there are extenuating circumstances. My goal when I go to a NASCAR race, or other major sporting events, is to be inside the venue within a half hour of the gates opening. When the Brickyard used have the...

I have no idea what precipitated this, but I'm not terribly surprised. The track record of entertainment types and athletes staying involved in auto racing long term is pretty slim. The few that have stayed, like David Letterman, Joe Gibbs, Brad Dougherty, have roots to racing that pre-date...

Well, like I said, if you're a steak place, you don't lead with how good your soup is
