    The Announcers Thread

    Is the NBC announcer lineup truly set? After his stretch of races, ultimately I was not a fan of Diffey. He’s a pro no doubt, but just doesn’t appeal to me for NASCAR. The accent isn’t so much the problem, although it is a contributor. I just feel a better lead announcer option would have been...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Phoenix

    What a night! Our team wanted a win but we battled to 8th place and another top 10. Thanks to our sponsors Cheerwine and Bubba’s Tire. And welcome to our new sponsor for next season FEDEX! Take that Hambone!

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Phoenix

    Way to go @Spotter22 ! A come from behind win in a tough front running pack. Kudos to @pjmolo for his great run and for delivering such a wonderful game! When one’s picks become more of the focus than the drivers you always pull for, it indicates either some type of sickness, or the love we have...

    Johali's Rate the race --- Phoenix

    6 - Phoenix is a demanding track for drivers, but doesn’t put on the best show for swapping positions or paint. Latter portion helped it get beyond a 5 IMO.

    Silly Season 2025

    That is a HUGE LOSS to JGR and the Hambone.

    Xfinity RACE thread ---- Phoenix

    That was an awesome race, and one of the best comebacks from calamity I’ve seen by Justin. Very deserving championship!

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Yeah…super lawyer tells Hamcrap to “play the poor mouth so we imply impending harm and doom”. Probably also told Jordan to “quit saying you’ll pay whatever to keep it rolling…we need millionaires hurting”.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    The charters were never considered by NASCAR to be tangible owned property, like a deed. Nor were they considered a franchise, which is essentially what Jordan and company want. It is more like an exclusive rent agreement into a very exclusive apartment complex. In this case NASCAR awarded...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Hey Rev, I FULLY get where you’re coming from, and agree. I have advocated for a major emphasis being placed on the REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP, and allowing the “playoffs” to have their champion. In my scenario, the regular season champ gets an automatic berth in the final championship race and...

    Phoenix Raceway Championship Pre-Race Thread

    I liked how last year’s race played out, where several non-playoff drivers competed hard verses being rolling billboards, allowing the champ 4 cars easy passes. The last year we went to the Homestead championship, it was clear nobody was to race the contenders hard. Amazingly all 4 were right up...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 - Phoenix

    I saved Joey for Phoenix, and he came through to be part of the champ 4. I need him to finish strong.

    What did you think of the Martinsville call?

    This is a reasonable interpretation from Bob. Teams have done full speed blocking many times over the years. Countless examples. There was no blatant directive. Obviously they were made aware of the situation.

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    He got into that position by overdriving into the corner, then into the wall, where he accelerated through the second half against the wall. A violation, which was correctly called.

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    That was a wall ride as he accelerated through the back half, against the rules now.

    Cup RACE thread: Martinsville

    Love this race being the last one ahead of the championship. Yes I’m pulling for Hamcrap to get walled early. Yes I will always pull for Ross to win any race he in. But today, I really want to see Elliot win his way into the finale.

    Days Of Thunder 2

    This is interesting. Look at how he handled the long awaited sequel to Top Gun. It was natural for him to be cast as a special instructor, actually flying, despite the fact nobody at his actual age would likely do that. He plays a younger age well. For DOT2, that same angle doesn’t seem logical...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    No way for the plaintiff to spin this. Takes away their primary early phase strategy to go exploring for shiny objects. Any word on who the judge is in this case?

    Cup RACE thread --- Homestead

    That was a mistake and killed Blaney’s positioning to win. I can only guess he thought Tyler would go low and was throwing a block. But Homestead rewards the high groove. Heck of a push for Reddick and he deserves his spot!

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    NASCAR wins, they aren’t returning the charters to those teams next year, as the plan is set for 32 chartered teams. Could they allow those teams charters in the future after settlement (or if they win)? They might. Or they might entertain a couple of new teams willing to field a NEW...

    Homestead-Miami Pre-Race Thread

    My wife and I were living in SW Florida from 2013 until mid 2023. We went to every championship race there until they moved it to Phoenix. Really good venue, good sight lines from the upper levels. Will never forget the race Carl Edwards nearly won before he wrecked late. Had no clue it would be...
