100K to win Crown Vic race: I'm pretty sure that's more than teams get to win a national NHRA event and it costs more to make one pass than it does to build a Crown Vic to race with. Absolutely ludicrous.

...why not go FULL FREAKSHOW? It'll never have that much value for data collection and there won't be any similarly sized tracks in the series ever. Honestly, the thing is that we're supposed to be having fun, so like, let's have fun. We don't need to pretend we're talking about something that...

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5924883/2024/11/18/joe-gibbs-racing-nascar-drivers-dirt-restrictions It appears that Ty Gibbs is the individual responsible for this. Look at me thanking Ty Gibbs for being himself; who could have predicted such things?

No point in repeating the statements from both. You've heard 'em both a million times. Can't go pretending that Evernham wasn't bonking Erin Crocker these days when I see her working the studio for NASCAR or Dirtvision. Mayfield has also, uhh, made choices in the subsequent years.

The last time I did a thread like this in this subforum, the driver lost his gig. I guess we'll see if I'm just the grim reaper of NASCAR careers. Noah Gragson won a few XFinity races; can't be mad at him for not being champion since you can win 30+ races and not be that now with this system...

"Junior" would suggest that it is there to develop prospects, but they've had DannyRic in a car for a year and a half at the end of his career while Yuki is, well, Yuki. He's Takuma Sato except shorter, never podiumed, and clearly never going to progress to the Red Bull seat. Are they still...

I know he has a podcast and his dad is now more famous for selling racing seats than being a fixture in the Busch Series. I get all that. The part I need explained to me is why I've seen him propped up repeatedly for years now as being better than he is. His top 5s and top 10s all come at pack...

https://www.imsa.com/news/2024/03/15/imsa-announces-2025-schedules-for-weathertech-championship-michelin-pilot-challenge/ IMSA has already released the 2025 schedule, and it turns out they really didn't care to ever go to Lime Rock again or bring the GTPs to Canada. It's the same slate of...

The season has started and we are getting ready for Heat #3 at Volusia. High Limit boys looking strong in this opening salvo between the series.

I got my Chili Bowl tickets, but my buddy who I usually go to the NHRA Norwalk event with is having some rough issues right now and isn't renewing and so unfortunately for everyone, neither am I. Beyond that, I'm looking at the following from my post here in Michigan: -Detroit Grand Prix...

INSPIRED BY A THREAD ON THIS FORUM~!: I'm just going to throw something out there that needs to be said. ARCA doesn't matter for driver development. ARCA doesn't develop meaningful, top tier Cup talent and has not successfully done so for a generation. This is hard for some people to accept, but...

....and why is it Johnny Gibson? Seriously.

The best Martinsville race of virtually every year is going on. Not quite to halfway and we're getting some carnage right now.

Track is open. I am laying in bed though because I was out last night and do not want to emerge for at least another 10-15 minutes. Sprint race weekend, so double the chances for Verstappen wins.

https://racer.com/2023/10/04/aston-martin-entering-wec-hypercar-imsa-gtp-fields-with-valkyrie-lmh/ Just imagine Lance Stroll becoming an all time great endurance racer not because he was very good, but because his dad hired the best possible co-drivers year after year.

The noise on this is getting pretty loud now and looking around online there's been chatter about it since at least July/August. It definitely feels like we're on the track to that happening, so let's discuss the whole "what do we think this might look like?" and of course react to what seems...

Surprised not to see a thread about this given the entry list - https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2023/08/07/battle-at-berlin-live-stream-entry-list-schedule-2023/ Chase Elliott, Erik Jones, William Byron, Carson Hoecevar, Jesse Love, Josh Berry, Bubba Pollard, and a bunch of other notables...

Racing is global and being global there's all sorts of events being put online to watch. A few weeks ago I got tipped on FB about the existence of High Speed TV, a channel out of Brazil that live streams various series' races: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCope0uRUcNE-9nQhldi5hfA Among the...
