    YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Pre-Race

    LOL. Can you guess (before watching the video) what was Bowman's request to Noah...

    YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Pre-Race

    I don't approve of Noah Gragson stepping out of the Beard Motorsports #62 to hop in the 48 for Talladega. He has been the regular driver of the 62 for several years at plate tracks. They gave him that ride when he had nothing going on at all for Cup races. Sunday is his last contracted race with...

    YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Pre-Race

    Alex Bowman at the 1:20 mark... "I don't understand how this thing's still rolling. That's the hardest I've crashed anything in my entire life." Wow. IIRC, a stated Next Gen design objective was to strengthen the driver's area for massive, extreme hits such as Ryan Newman took at Daytona...

    It's not gonna "exhibit" favorably with Red Farmer driving it.

    '21 Generation 7 Car news

    Rodney Childers' explanation about how the teams are using low tire pressures to create maximum downforce was a huge eye-opener to me. Nascar could respond by publishing tire pressures at pit exit, either in real time or at the conclusion of the race. This would add a ton of transparency to the...

    Silly Season 2023

    Would anyone be surprised if Ty Dillon winds up driving a Kyle Busch truck in 2023? I wouldn't. Just an idle thought, pure speculation. I believe it was also rumored earlier in this thread that Chandler Smith might move to Chevy and remain with Kyle's team, as he's a family-funded driver that...

    Bonehead of the Week: Texas

    There have been several occasions where Ty Gibbs has been forced to apologize for stuff like that, and I've noticed he never issues a genuine, heart-felt apology... only a half-assed token apology. He starts off okay, it sounds like it might be a genuine apology, but then he goes on to list all...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2022 - Texas

    Kyle Damn Busch. I've picked him *three times* this year and he was at the tail end each time. First, I picked KDB at Pocono, but I missed the deadline by a few minutes, so officially I was a "no pick." Busch took the checkered flag in P2 but was disqualified in post race inspection. Second, I...

    My unpopular opinion... 1. - I hate it when aged drivers launch elaborate "farewell tours." It's demeaning to the sport to think 80% of what you used to have is good enough to stay out there with current drivers operating at 100%. Being an elite driver is damn hard to achieve... you can't lose...

    New "what are you listening to thread"

    Marcus King. The NBC intro is an adaption of his song "The Well" and it's fantastic IMO.

    Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    Ben Kennedy *should* have the balls to tell Marcus Smith, "If you do that, whose gonna race on it, because Nascar never will." Of course, Ben would have to have his mother and uncle on board first.

    Strongest Rookie Classes

    Meh. It's that New Math again... Add 30 tons + 30 pounds + 30 ounces and call it 90 units of weight. I say it's 90 units of gibberish. All race wins mean something, but they don't all mean the *same* thing. In all racing disciplines, wins in the premier division mean a helluva lot more than...

    Interest builds around possible changes to NASCAR schedule

    Maybe they could move it to the suburbs for the second and third years of the contract. I'm pretty sure Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is a suburb of Chicago isn't it?

    Silly Season 2023

    I actually think Tyler Reddick might wind up in the 16 car for 2023, officially entered by Richard Childress but prepared and crewed by Kaulig, same as the 31 car. This would be if Kurt Busch returns to the 45 for 2023. Another possibility for Reddick would be the Spire 77, operated and crewed...

    Kyle Busch to RCR

    This is exactly right. When Allenbaba offered his opinion that he'd prefer that GM and Ford had the same approach as Toyota, with full-boat factory teams and massive factory-funded driver development pipelines down to the grassroots level, but @Revman is dreaming in a hypothetical world that...

    In Defense of Texas Motor Speedway...

    Interesting perspective, @Speedbowl14. So you're saying, the "deathbedder vote" dooms TMS to the garbage pile? Make it 1995 again, now and forever!

    Kyle Busch to RCR

    You didn't address that to me, but here's my opinion of KDB in a Chevrolet... Kyle Busch in a Toyota... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Chevy... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Ford... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Dodge... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Hyundai or Kia... No bueno. Ya see the pattern?

    Brad Keselowski - Official Thread

    Lofty goals at Roush-Fenway-Keselowski Racing... become relevant again as a two-car team; then expand to three cars; then to four cars. No mention of Xfinity Series... RFK setting long-term goal of four cars – Keselowski "This (win at Bristol) is a good step forward for us. We’ve got a long...

    Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    Nascar will apply resin (not the PJ1 used previously) to encourage a 2nd groove at Texas Motor Speedway. Cue the complaints that track prep is a gimmick, except what bulldozers do... that's OK because bulldozers are righteous. Personally, I'd prefer progressive banking but that train has left...
