It's hard to win mainly because your odds of actually finishing with an intact race car are so small. The statistic at the start of the thread says it all. Some fans find that interesting or exciting. I don't. I much prefer that better drivers and better cars control their own destiny more...

Looks like the scheme for a company that actually WANTS to sell paint.

The thing is, if you exercise too much caution, you'll run 30th. With the guarantee of a playoff spot on the line, you can't be timid, especially if you are a fringe playoff team. The system FORCES you to drive over your head.

I sent a request that he do one on the Hendrick plane crash, but I don't know if he will or not. I believe he flies out of Charlotte, and has to keep his real job on the quiet to not piss off his employer. He has done a few episodes on famous people plane crashes. While flying F15's, he did...

One of my favorite content creators on Youtube is Pilot Debrief, done by a former Air Force F15 pilot (call sign Hoover) and now commercial airline pilot that breaks down aircraft incidents and lays out the mistakes made and how it could have been prevented. He just released a video on Dale Jr's...

Agree 100%. The MPD is debatable, but as mentioned, Chase's dad was MPD forever, and how exciting was he? The merch sales is a more concrete test of popularity, but who REALLY knows. I think it speaks as much to the fact that there really isn't ANYONE else poised to assume the mantle of MPD...

What's the point of holding up the leader when you've run for 182 laps and you're still in 17th place?

We painted ours with the pink paint sticks for night races. The tire changers claimed they could pick up the pink in the shadows better than yellow. We also mostly used Lowe lug nut during the race which were an 8 point nut that took a dedicated socket. Almost impossible to jam in the socket...

Sorry, it pains me to say it, but I think you can stick a fork in Jimmie, he's done as a competitive driver.

Jeff is also in the office and at the track MOST of the time. Is Jimmie doing that?

I questioned it because when Jimmie bought in, it was a Chevy team, which made a certain level of sense for him, and then boom, it's suddenly a Toyota team. And sorry, I keep hearing different scenarios about how TRD and Legacy got together and I think there has been some adjustments to the...

Bickford was certainly using every tool at his disposal to advance Jeff's career, but he wasn't just buying him rides, because THAT kind of money wasn't there. Frankly, even if he DID, so what? It's the old Chase Elliott argument. Did Chase have the silver spoon? Absolutely, but let's not...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but this is absolutely NOT how I recall this going down when it happened. I distinctly remember an interview saying Wilson reached out to Gallagher, and I also remember wondering if Jimmie was REALLY on board with this, being he was a brand new minority owner at the...

That's complete BS. John Bickford was a working class schlep that didn't have the money to pay off ANYBODY, and they didn't lobby anyone to change the age requirement, they simply MOVED to where the rules were more relaxed. If you've seen where they lived in "Arm"Pittsboro Indiana, you would...

Evidently Richard Childress, Justin Marks and Dan Towriss haven't got that memo......

When you sign on with the 5 car, you go in KNOWING that your driver has other focuses outside of NASCAR. It either works for you or it doesn't. There's hundreds of people that will happily take your place working for a generational talent. It was the same way with Tony Stewart, AJ Foyt, Mario...

Rick has a closet full of Cup championship and Coke 600 trophies. What he DOESN'T have is a Borg Warner Trophy. (Yes, I KNOW you don't get the trophy) If you are a guy like Mr. H and you have climbed every mountain NASCAR has to offer MULTIPLE times, you start to look for things you don't have...

I have heard they want back in, but the problem is trying to gain market share if you are not the "in house" engine supplier for a truck manufacturer. With Mack/Volvo, Paccar and International all doing their own thing, Detroit still being the de-facto home supplier for Freightliner, and Cummins...

If you are going to be the ultimate Toyota homer, then you have to take the bad with the good. Just like "my" race team, I refuse to be a homer for "my" manufacturer when they deserve to be criticized, as they so often do.

I didn't even realize Daihatsu was even still in business, that's how irrelevant they are.
