I'm not going to suggest NASCAR did everything right in either the Richmond or Mayfield cases, but as for Richmond, HE was the one who was not forthcoming and NASCAR was forced to react to what they were actually seeing; a serious illness, some erratic behavior, and a failed drug test. I happen...

Someone with RC's tenure has every right to speak his mind, and everybody has a right to voice an opinion. For NASCAR management to call someone that has been a part of your sport for almost 60 years a stupid redneck, especially considering the history of this sport is WAY beyond what should be...

True, BUT RC has been a loyal foot soldier for NASCAR since the late 60's, and whether you agree or disagree with his point of view, he deserves a hell of a lot more respect than he got in those texts. If you ask me who is (or should be) more important to NASCAR, Phelps or Childress, Phelps...

Look, if you want to rag on Jim France, take a number. As I have said, he has been a HUGE disappointment to me leading NASCAR. As for the "Felon", all he did was answer the phone and take the deal, and it's not HIS job to see that Ford and Toyota didn't get their feelings hurt. Honestly, despite...

I have been saying it for years. Phelps has to GO. I wouldn't hire that clown to scrub toilets in a whorehouse.

Sorry, I don't see any correlation between the two. In fact, I think using the development of the Next Gen car is an argument AGAINST involving more people. I ask the question again. How would YOU represent three manufacturers with one car in a meaningful way that any non-NASCAR fan boy is going...

Once again I have to ask the question, unless you wanted to present some mongrel of a car, SOMEONE was going to get left out of the project. How exactly would YOU have handled this project to everyone's satisfaction? How do you make three manufacturers happy when you only need ONE car?

Everyone knew the deal going in. Yes, it was just for show, but NOBODY at HMS or Chevrolet treated it that way for a single second. It's easy to poo-poo it after the fact, but if the engine would have blown up in the first hour or they had been 10 MPH off the GT car pace, you would have...

I would be all in favor of going back to production based engine designs, BUT, because of the widely different engine architectures, you would quickly find yourself in a BoP situation like sports car racing, which drives me nuts.

Presumably Dodge doesn't care.

The measure of success was to qualify at a GT class speed ( they did) finish all 24 hours (they did) to run lap times that were competitive with the GT class cars in the race (they did), and to grab tons of positive attention for NASCAR (they did).

How do you collaborate? Put a Chevy engine in a Camry? Build a generic car that isn't anything? Could it be that the goal was to align with one team that could basically do the job 100% in house under one roof? Why not just acknowledge that the Chevy-HMS team knocked it out of the park and move...

I'm sure you'll disagree, but I don't think this car would have generated even half as much of the interest it has if it was a Toyota. It simply HAD to be a Camaro or Mustang. Obnoxious rip snorting American muscle car with a big American style V8. Having a fake four door grocery getter with a...

And how is that different than it has EVER been? Surely you don't actually believe Chase's dad was the MPD all those years do you?

They DID, BUT, under a reasonable point system, neither the 11 or the 19 are probably in position to win anyway, so there is that. I think what happened yesterday just highlights the absurdity of the playoff format. As you all know, I am not a fan of Denny the driver, but I think only a soulless...

A thought just occurred to me. Has anyone done a wellness check on Revman? The end of that race must have damn near killed him.

I agree 100%, but benevolent dictatorships only work if the dictator is truly benevolent and not a complete idiot. Jim France has been a HUGE disappointment to me, and most of the rest ARE idiots.

2025 will be remembered by Hendrick Motorsports as the "Year of the Unforced Error". Who needs competition when you keep inventing new ways to beat yourself?

According to Tommy Baldwin, all of the Kaulig truck seats are filled, although he refused to say who the other three drivers are.

Maybe it's time to structure pit road entry more like pit road exit, where you would have to go down to and stay in a deceleration lane before entering pit road. It would also offer an opportunity to close up the pit in end of the track. I have long been concerned about cars spinning onto pit...
