Matt D is fading out of view.

I think Matt is enjoying it

The hauler driver 400

I've always wondered if semi truck racing is still a thing. In the intro to Smokey and The Bandit 2, Jerry Reed is racing a cabover at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It looked like a fun time

"The Kimi Rule."

People in charge these days are paying attention. They aren't looking for their favorite snorting closet or private bathroom

Contents of a note to moderator sent earlier ...

“Pride merchandise is being marketed by NASCAR as part of their effort ti be inclusive and to begin to break down barriers.

NASCAR used their own Twitter account to post what you have apparently deemed unsuitable material for the NASCAR forum. Moving my post to The Podium is an act of censorship, not moderation.

You might want to reconsider.”

No Indy or IMSA either.

Here's on that's around there's another I'm aware of called the Bandit Big Rig Series they don't run on the big tracks anymore (expect Rockingham) because they tear up the corners

Interesting that this applies to Cup only. One would think that if the driver's elite credentials are good enough for a Cup voucher, they'd be good enough for lower series.

Trucks and SRX this weekend both at similar times on Saturday night.

TVRacer doesn't show SRX this weekend, although it does show ARCA.

EDIT: TVRacer doesn't mention SRX at all! The SRX web page doesn't mention TV coverage either, beyond listing CBS Sports as a partner. I finally found a mention on CBS's site:

Superstar Racing Experience: Schedule, TV times, how to watch and stream Camping World SRX Series

Here's how fans can check out the new racing outfit

I e-mailed TVRacer to suggest adding SRX to the listing. @StandOnIt, thanks for mentioning it!

Now you see why I have been whining about the lack of info this year about SRX. Found not on the SRX site but CBS

"18 years or older"

I'm pretty sure those can't require more motor skills than I needed when I was building 1/24's at age 14 or so. Do kids still sniff glue? That stuff never did anything for me besides give me a headache.

Amen to that, Aunty. Although I don't really care for the photo selected by Nascar, I certainly applaud their effort to be more inclusive. It's the same thing as Nascar promoting Black History Month, which they do every year, or celebrating Hispanic Heritage initiatives, which they also do.

It's about as controversial as pink race cars for breast cancer, or public service ads encouraging Covid vaccination... i.e. not controversial at all for people who cherish the American guarantee of personal freedom..

Phil is a good dude.

I think a lot of tracks have been on the honor him before he's dead tour

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

this poor fella is being taken to the woodshed for this tweet. Sometimes, NASCAR fans are idiots. Why wouldnt an overhang over a track that hosts a hot daytime Cup race be a good idea? not an engineer obviously but I would like to see it implemented at some places that have hot races. Darlington had one for a long time and it looked damn cool too.

Some of the Indy grandstands are still covered. I suspect the tracks don't regard it as a worthwhile upgrade for seats that are occupied less than a week a year. They'd raise ticket prices to pay for it, and I for one would not regard the shade as being worth the cost. F1 attendees are used to paying ridiculous rates.

First time I've ever heard of a crew member's contract getting media coverage?

 

[wi_racefan]

I'm sure we'll never know but I think it would be cool to see how much some of these big teams have top level guys tied up in contracts.

[TexasRaceLady]

How cool is this?

Lmao.
