Once again, I'll be keeping track of the average ratings from the Cup and Xfinity Rate the Race threads according to all of us expert race analysts here at racing-forums.com. Will be calculating the same way as in years past: highest and lowest ratings dropped (unless there are 10 or fewer...

Once again, it's time to take a look at the average ratings from the Cup and Xfinity Rate the Race threads according to the fine people at racing-forums.com. Will be calculating the same way as in years past: highest and lowest ratings dropped (unless there are 10 or fewer ratings, then all will...

Apologies for the late start.....been busy with some stuff lately. But once again I will track the average race ratings for the Cup and Xfinity races this year. Just as a refresher, here's how they're calculated: - Only ratings for the race will be counted, will not count ratings for the...

Once again, I’ll keep track of our average ratings for the Cup and Xfinity races here. The usual caveats apply, but I’ll just post here as a refresher: - Only ratings for the race will be counted, will not count ratings for the winner or the TV coverage. Also will only count ratings if a...

Looks like Cleveland is going the Washington Footballl Team route and dropping the “Indians” name. https://sports.yahoo.com/report-cleveland-indians-dropping-nickname-amid-mounting-social-pressure-012928266.html

I’m rooting for them in this order: 1. Denny Hamlin - had the most championship worthy season of the four remaining drivers, would like to see him finally win one after choking away several opportunities in the past, Father Time is creeping up on him. 2. Chase Elliott - will probably be most...

So I picked up a new-ish truck today. My Dad is getting up in years and had an ‘02 Silverado that was on its last leg, and he wanted a little bit smaller truck that would be easier to maneuver. So I decided to give him my ‘16 Nissan Frontier and this is its replacement, a 2019 Ford F-150 with a...

I was a little bummed this year because I would always get a PM from Johali right before the Daytona 500 asking if I would be doing this thread each year. Well my friend, indeed I am. Same conditions as last year, I'll only be tracking Cup and Xfinity (the Truck Rate the Race threads usually...

Ok, maybe hate is too strong a word, but are there any drivers that you had a strong dislike for at some point that you came to respect or even like? The main one that comes to mind for me is Jeff Gordon. I had several reasons for not liking Gordon. For one, NASCAR and the sports media...

I’m now in my 40’s, but for the first time in my life I’m a dog owner. This is Buster, a Pit Bull/Labrador mix who has quickly become my new best friend. He’s about 7 years old, we adopted him from my father-in-law, who is getting up in years and wasn’t really able to take care of him anymore...

The longtime Jeopardy host revealed today that he has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna980266 Cancer can go f**k itself. Really.

Once again, I'll be keeping track of the average ratings we give the races in the "Rate the Race" threads here. I'll be doing this with the same guidelines as usual... - Races will be counted on a 1-10 scale. If your rating is less than 1, it'll be counted as a 1. If it's more than 10, it'll be...

Suicide claims another life unfortunately....:( https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/08/us/anthony-bourdain-obit/index.html

In the continuing death spiral of the American passenger car, Ford has announced that by 2020 the Mustang and a new Focus hatchback (which will more closely resemble a crossover) will be the only cars it will continue to produce. Everything else in their lineup will be either a truck or an SUV...

I gotta say, I kind of agree with Smoke here. http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/04/06/tony-stewart-absurd-kids-can-race-full-size-car-when-they-cant-get-a-drivers-license/ I didn't know until reading the article that there have been kids as young as 9 racing Late Model cars. That's a little crazy.

But not this expensive...

How likely do you think the current crop of drivers are to make it into the NASCAR HOF someday? I would break them down like this: Locks: Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski More than likely: Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Martin Truex, Jr. Borderline: Ryan...

I never was a big Dale Sr. fan when he was racing, but his Daytona 500 win 20 years ago today remains one of my favorite moments in NASCAR. Seeing him finally get it done after being so close so many times was pretty awesome.
