I have no strong takes about this because it sounds like an internal matter that will go to court. The rule of law hasn't completely collapsed yet, so I'm willing to wait on the wheels of justice or whatever.

F1 has boomed in popularity in the United States and it did so under a champion more dominant than much of even Petty's prime. I mean, you can argue that it can hurt too when it's as prolonged as it was with John Force or Sebastian Loeb, but we are a long ways away I think from a talent that is...

The most important line here in that video comes around 1:10: "Spend the money like we had to"

Where is out of bounds at Phoenix? But to the larger point, yes, if you drive off and leave slower cars behind, you run out of fuel faster. In this instance, we can't even get that enjoyment of different strategies! Everyone was forced to use one strategy since no one could legally pass.

Because if you decide to drive around the people saving fuel (which in fairness is also tough when one manufacturer just takes up every lane and you can't move outside that space), you will run out of fuel, and then they will pass you.

Chevy now doesn't even have a car that the Cup car is intended to resemble; not sure that the manufacturer cares about how closely the vehicle looks to a stock sedan when they produce zero sedans. I have nothing positive to say about plate/spacer racing. Zero. I also don't think anything can be...

Someone has to sell tickets for NARC, why not it be Brad Sweet as promoter/racer?

It used to be that there were more paid rides in NASCAR and more rides period. Less rides = less opportunities. Nowhere for Corey Heim to go unless someone's willing to foot the bill.

I want to give a positive prediction for a change where instead of something infuriating, it's something positive. Looked at the weather this weekend for a Daytona 500 ratings boost and it looks like the major population centers are pretty clear, so I'm not sure about that. New manufacturer is...

Is there really no on track action until Wednesday of next week in Daytona? I guess it doesn't matter much then if they push it back a week.

It's possible that there might be a dry zone in NC where there isn't snow. Everything might turn out sorta alright (it'll still be COLD).

TBH having Cup drivers do a Crown Vic race would actually be really sick.

Nah. What happened is that Fox bought a piece of Indycar and they want to use their relationship with Trump to promote it. They don't own a piece of NASCAR and certainly don't care what happens after their race package ends in the first half of 2026.

At the end of the day, I still like Indycar. It would seem asinine to suggest that it would be smart to not run DC for the Semiquincentennial around the National Mall if the president was going to basically push to have the race done at taxpayer expense without regard to the Hatch Act. The...

We're talking about The Clash here. Allegedly the point of this event is to engage fans in a fun but meaningless start to season event. Who else is NASCAR supposed to be trying to appeal to more with this? The sponsors of the teams so they can steal those too?

I just wish they'd go back to making this a smaller thing with fewer entries that's easier to follow and more of a reward for drivers who did something of value the year prior. I have not personally seen a single person ever discuss any great Clash moments or races from anything newer than the...

They literally had about 40,000 people in that very venue referenced for an auto race a month ago. Which, perhaps, could just be left alone to satisfy its fans?

Oh, cool, maybe NASCAR can cannibalize something else organic in motorsports. At least I guess from my perspective nothing of real value would be lost.

If a race containing the top 20 in points will satisfy the networks....just do that from now on. Or even just make it pole winners again

Obviously the sample size is a bit low but arctic air breaking south and causing havoc in the continental US seems to be a nearly annual occurrence now. I can't see how it would fix this issue. Now, having said that, and with the understanding that Summer comes with different weather threats...
