    Johali's rate the Cup race --- Daytona

    It's the Great American Race because it is living off the reputation from a generation ago. It hasn't been great for a LONG time now. If you think every race is a great race, then either you are just easily entertained or you have low standards. How is watching cars drone around in formation at...

    Johali's rate the Cup race --- Daytona

    So in other words, as long as you win, it's a great race? 🙄 My guy was a couple hundred yards from winning, and even if he HAD, that race would have sucked worse than an industrial grade shop vac in my opinion.

    Johali's rate the Cup race --- Daytona

    First 188 laps, -100. Last 12 laps, 8. Tell me WHY I should watch the first 180 laps of this race. I could bring up an interstate traffic cam and see the same thing I saw (minus the wrecks). Even at that, it took TWO wrecks to make those final few laps stand out. I just don't understand the...

    2027 NASCAR schedule news/rumors

    It didn't move to Atlanta until maybe 1987? Whenever Riverside closed.

    Johali's Rate the Clash -- Bowman-Grey

    -8. Completely unwatchable.

    Race thread --- The Clash at Bowman-Grey

    Dale and I will have to agree to disagree on that one. I think Cup racing at Bowman Gray is preposterous, and pointless.

    Race thread --- The Clash at Bowman-Grey

    Only so that I could be informed about what transpired, not for entertainment purposes, of which there were none. The same thing that applies with me to restrictor plate races. I watch only so that I know what happened., and most of the time I fall asleep two or three times while doing so.

    Race thread --- The Clash at Bowman-Grey

    But the second half more than made up for it. For the record, I have NEVER been a fan of races on a track shorter than a half mile, and that goes doubly for stock cars, so the whole premise is lost on me from the word go. Throw in arctic temps, a sleet storm. 100+ laps run under caution...

    Race thread --- The Clash at Bowman-Grey

    Every bit the dumpster fire I was expecting. One of these days I'm going to wise up and not even turn my TV on until we get to points race #2 in the season.

    NASCAR 2026 BOLD Prediction Game

    THAT'S BOLD. Nothing would make me happier, but man that is out on a limb.

    Does the King really have 200 wins?

    I believe you are correct.

    That IS a great book. Highly recommended.

    Hendrick Motorsport News

    R Ray might be the single most important employee in the history of HMS. Ray raised the bar to levels never seen there, or probably anywhere else. Just about everything good that has ever happened to that organization has Ray's fingerprints in it somewhere. Younger fans probably do not realize...

    so what is going to be the new points system?

    Because in typical 21st century NASCAR management, you make a change trying to fix something that wasn't broken, and when THAT fails to bring the desired results, you double down on what failed and come up with an even more absurd variation of it. Now that that idea has failed to gain traction...

    so what is going to be the new points system?

    I'm puzzled how going back to a format that was widely despised everywhere but NASCAR HQ and saw fan support erode like a California mud slide is a perfect compromise. Looks more like continued throwing excrement on the wall and seeing if ANY of it manages to stick.

    so what is going to be the new points system?

    Right now, NASCAR is SO FAR behind the NFL, I wouldn't waste five seconds of consideration over what they are doing. NASCAR should concentrate on NASCAR and get their own house in order before worrying about what the NFL is doing. We are where we are now because these ten week formats not only...

    so what is going to be the new points system?

    Better than what we had, but it still keeps the two things I hated about the Chase. Too many races, too many drivers. Should have been five races on five different kinds of drivers for five drivers, but there are two many asses that need kissed because everybody whines if they aren't included...

    Plane Crash in Statesville NC

    The ONLY thing in question is why one of the engines failed. The handling of the aircraft after the failure is out there for the whole world to see, and you don't need the NTSB to learn that you should NEVER try to do what the pilot did, ESPECIALLY in THAT airplane. EVERYONE with ****pit time...

    Steve Phelps is out

    He doesn't OWN the company. Big difference.

    Steve Phelps is out

    Some people are big enough that it doesn't matter. (Jim France). With others it just is what it is (Car owners etc). BUT, when you are somewhere in the middle, you have to know your place, and Steve Phelps got a little too big for his britches. The owner of the company I work for can criticize...
