Well, you push the limits to the max in the motors and everything else. It's the only way to win in modern Nascar. Sometimes it bites ya in the butt. It's racing, that's how it goes. It is the same as trying to be faster than the other guy on pit road... sometimes you pass that guy on pit road...

I'll second the notion that there is a lot of recency bias in these two posts. Go back to 2018 (the last year before the NA18D package was foisted upon us by Marcus Smith and Brian France) and before. Charlotte was consistently producing the worst racing on the schedule, and it wasn't even...

Most everyone here on R-F loves to dump on Texas Motor Speedway. I harbor no illusions about changing their minds, but personally I think it's a bum rap. My #1 criteria for a race - any race, every race - is always the same... Is it a stern test of driving skill with results typically...

Cale never shifted on an oval. What more do you need to know?

It's been a tough year for Brad K and RFK Racing. One step forward; two steps back. I was bitterly disappointed when he blew that right front tire with victory almost within sight. Buescher bringing the 17 home was partial redemption, I guess. I still believe Brad's mission as owner/driver is a...

LMAO at your hypocrisy @Revman. A couple days ago, you were bloviating ad nauseam about how the throats you cut in a business setting say nothing at all about what or who the man is. But that was about Preacher Joe, and Richard Childress isn't your guy... so now it's different. LMAO.

No, Austin Dillon did not. But Rollie Free did, at the Bonneville Salt flats on September 13, 1948. A record-setting run of 150.313 mph aboard a Vincent HRD. (All A. Dillon did was to flop in the grass... which has nothing to do with aerodynamics.)

JHN = Low ceiling. JMO.

RCR is one of many teams in a position to benefit from the new Next Gen philosophy in Nascar, instead of remaining a 2nd tier team as they have been for many years. They have already benefited from the largely spec car, as has Trackhouse, Petty-GMS, Rousch-Fenway-Kes, 23XI, and others. RCR has...

Eh, both you guys are assuming Chevy management has been wringing their hands and saying, "We really want to act like Toyota, except we just don't have Kyle Busch Motorsports to be our factory truck team. If we had KBM, we'd gladly sign a pipeline of drivers to support deals, and we'd strongarm...

That's possible, but you are assuming a lot. If Chevy wanted that type of deal, why have they not built it with GMS or someone else? I seriously doubt that Chevy has a boner for Kyle Busch Motorsports Quasi-Factory Team. If I'm right, Kyle will be looking for drivers with fat daddies and...

Yeah, my guess is that RCR's contract with Tyler Reddick specifies the car will be chartered. Tyler has that guarantee, so Richard has to come up with a charter for a year.

Also, it is not tied in with the KDB-RCR deal. So it's not a package deal thing. This implies no special support for the truck team as it has enjoyed under Toyota's care, IMO. Other: KDB to the 8 rather than Tyler because it's multiyear deal, while Reddick's contract is just one year. This...

Congrats to Bubba and the 45 team for a righteous race win. Passed the leader, gaped the field, then minded the gap all the way to the checkers. Hell yeah, Bubba! A classic old school stock car race. What was really apparent to me is the excessive aero drag, and how that just saps the...

I didn't watch this Aaron "Ivermectin" Rodgers video. Did he discuss football or medical research? He claims proficiency in both, but I think a genius like him should focus on medicine... for the good of mankind. Good quarterbacks are dime-a-dozen, relatively speaking.

Why do you assume that Childress wasn't prepared to do that? I recall reading that Reddick had a long-term offer from Childress in hand when he decided to accept the 23XI deal. I believe it was Pockrass that reported that, but frankly I'm not 100% sure. Everyone knows that Childress was pissed...

TL;DW Summary: 1. KDB stopped a half inch short of confirming the RCR deal. The description of sitting down with Richard and discussing the 2010 Kansas punching incident was very telling. 2. He hopes to keep the KBM truck team operating, but it's not assured. I guess there are no drivers with...

Hopefully the Homestead race won't last more than 4 hours..:p

Just FYI to @REBS31 and all who may not have seen his post last week, @gnomesayin said in a dirt track thread that he was going to be off the forum for a while. He indicated in a PM that it may not be a permanent departure. I'm wishing all the best for him and his fam... his posts stand at the...

Chase Elliott also said Nascar communications have been positive and encouraging, per an AP article a few days ago. “You never want to take a step backward,” Elliott said. “It’s been great conversations (with NASCAR) and I think it will end up making a difference.” The AP article quoted Dr...
