The call from the guy who is the only reason he is racing this year congratulating him on his third place finish at Daytona, Rick Hendrick was better love. You got to run with the ones that brung ya. ;)

Old Atlanta, yes. It was great. New Atlanta, the 100 extra miles means too much potential for extra expenses with more torn up cars etc IMO.

Fair enough. But the marketing of calling yourself a “500 mile” race is brilliant, lol.
 
Watched that whole episode on YouTube today and if I was NASCAR I would approach Ray with a blank check and make him one of the highest ranking executives in the sport if he'd take it. The guy gets it and is a proven innovator and forward thinker, and an absolute wiz in regards to cars and actual racing product. He set up SRX for success and backed out at the first sight of things going left that were out of his control, even called its demise. I couldn't quite read between the lines and he didn't name names but I have an idea who it might've been that caused it to fail.

Ray might be brilliant at a lot of things but his history as a business man isn't one of them. I'll let him develop the car, but someone else is making business decisions

PBA and NASCAR stars to compete on custom bowling lanes at Phoenix Raceway during 2023 March NASCAR Weekend

PHOENIX – February 22, 2023 — The inaugural Go Bowling! PBA NASCAR Invitational, bringing the worlds of bowling and auto racing together in bowling competition at Phoenix Raceway, will air March 12 at noon ET on FOX Sports’ FS1. The telecast will air prior to the 2023 NASCAR United Rentals Work United 500 on FOX.

Go Bowling!, a proud sponsor of Phoenix Raceway and the PBA, is partnering with QubicaAMF to construct a custom pair of lanes inside The Barn on the grounds of Phoenix Raceway. Fans and guests are invited to attend the event free of charge, which will be taped March 10, and have the chance to bowl on the lanes once competition concludes.

“We are thrilled to extend our relationship with NASCAR with the addition of the made-for-TV event in Phoenix,” said Kevin Krauss, President, Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America (BPAA). “It will demonstrate the fun of bowling to everyone tuned in and also to everyone following their favorite drivers, bowlers and celebrities on social media.”

The Go Bowling! PBA NASCAR Invitational at Phoenix Raceway will feature four professional bowlers—PBA Tour players Kyle Troup and Jesper Svensson and PWBA Tour stars Daria Pajak and Verity Crawley—teaming with four NASCAR drivers and celebrities, including NASCAR’s Aric Almirola and Ryan Preece in doubles competition.

In addition to the doubles tournament, the event will feature a special shootout in which celebrities will compete against each other in fast-paced bowling competition.

“Many NASCAR drivers have shown a great interest in bowling, so to be able to bring stars from the PBA and PWBA together to team with current racing personalities at Phoenix Raceway during a big race week will be a treat for fans of both sports,” said Tom Clark, PBA Tour Commissioner. “This event is going to be a lot of fun, but highly competitive. When you bring the best in the world at their respective sports together, there will be fireworks.”

“The friendly competition among the drivers, the stars of the PBA/PWBA Tours and other celebrities should make for a fun show and a great way to get ready for the big NASCAR Cup Series race in Phoenix,” added Krauss.

Viewers can livestream the PBA on the FOX Sports and FOX Now apps or at FOXSports.com. Select highlights will be available on @FOXSports social handles across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. International fans can watch on BowlTV, the exclusive streaming partner of the PBA.

I was bored, and couldn't sleep so I wanted to compare stats of Bobby and Terry Labonte. Terry can JUST claim to be the better brother. Though I guess a case can be made Bobby was that close in Cup wins, with way fewer starts.

Terry- 22 Cup wins, 11 Busch Wins, and 1 Truck win. Plus 2 championship

Bobby- 21 Cup wins, 10 Busch Wins, and 1 Truck win. Just 1 Championship..

Something I forgot to look at, Bobby has a Busch Series Championship. Where Terry doesn’t.

Just amazing how similar their stats are to each other. Surely when you try to compare other brothers, not sure how many others are similar to where neither has that big of a stat difference.

Isn't this strongly affected by the timing of the last caution? Since NASCAR (and ARCA?) make repeated 2-lap attempts to finish under green, that would seem to skew the numbers in their favor.
