I consider the Southern 500 to be one of the majors.

It is the nature of multi car teams and alliances to help each other. I don't like it - I miss the days when teams were smaller.

I mostly like the current playoff format. I'd get rid of win and you're in, give the winner a good point reward. Once a car is eliminated from the playoffs they should return to the normal points pool; I think the teams out of the playoffs should be able to improve their season point standing...

While I enjoy hearing the Smokey Yunick and other innovative stories of NASCAR past, as a fan I want a level playing field. I’ve watched other race series where a dominate team hurts the series by producing less competition. I'm glad that NASCAR tries to keep the series fair.

I've enjoyed the series. I was bummed when they said it was the last race of the season (kinda got used to seeing it regularly). And they do have to coolest pace car of any race series.

I like the Pocono track with its unique corners. Often, one team gets the setup right and dominates the race.

I don't like street courses. They are concrete canyons where the drivers can't see around corners. Street races are parades.

Tony Jr told about how things worked between Jr and him. One of their feuds really hurt DEI and it took them a long time to work it out. The conversation showed some of the things that happen between teams in a multi-team shop. It is a long interview but it seemed to go by fast; both Dale and...

The coolest pace car in racing was overcome from the heat but the drivers endured. I was entertained with the racing. Congrats to Helio - he still has it.

I don't think it is practical to have NASCAR drivers run LeMans, they would have to miss 1 or 2 Cup races (plus jet lag). Not many NASCAR drivers participate in the 24 Hours of Daytona any more. Retired drives are ... retired and I wonder how many would want to endure a 24 hour race. Imsa...

Is the NASCAR Garage 56 car in this race, I don't see it in the scoring.

I'm surprised by the number of Ferrari entries in the GTE AM class, for decades Porsche dominated that class because customers could buy a car and easily make it a racer at a time when Ferrari had a more exclusive clientele.

I checked the Le Mans web site to see what the class differences are. They listed the Hypercar class with a track time of 3:30 and the LMP2 at 3:25 so I'm comfused about which class is faster; the hypercars are leading the race so they are faster. I suspect someone made a mistake entering the...

I think Chastain did say he expects retaliation - which he deserves.

It is my favorite racing day. I always watch Monaco but it is terrible race, there are no passing zones, it is a parade. Indy is my favorite race of the day and it seems to go by fast. I find myself holding my breath during the last laps. The 600 is a long race and it is a test of the...

Doug Yates has a similar story to Jr, a famous father and earning your own way. A lot of the stories were about his father Robert Yates and the drivers Davy Allison, Ernie Irvan, and Dale Jarret. I didn't know Robert's team tried to hire Dale's dad but in those days you can't hire THE Chevy...

NASCAR often uses the All Star race to try new things. I was wondering what they are trying this time. I checked the NASCAR site and saw that part of the qualifying procedure for top 8 qualifying teams starts with a side-by-side pit stops, race off pit road (no speed limit) and the car that...

I caught the Rick Mears episode and he talked about some tings I found interesting. He mentioned that the great drivers from his era were successful because they didn't exceed the limits of the car - it was a self preservation deal. When he started Indycar they had wings on the cars, he was...

I agree, Lagano made no attempt to pass.

My prediction is done. Kyle stole the win - it counts. I had noticed he wasn't doing well with the lack of testing last year and I thought that might continue this year with limited testing plus the new car probably would be harder for the veterans to figure out. But this season he's been...
