Industrial park.. boooo. I was reading and hoping she was going to create a horse farm with training and breeding and... anything but an industrial park. :(

I know of many industrial parks in towns the size of Kannapolis with utilities and paved roads but remain undeveloped. A couple of them back in SC are popular birding hotspots. They're not like old-school baseball parks - just because you build one doesn't mean tenants will come.

They need to find Petty and interview him again lol.

“I figured something like this would happen,” Petty said at the time. “They’ll probably win all these (combination) races. (Cup) racing isn’t supposed to be filled with Mustangs and Camaros.”
Forty-six years later, he felt no different.

“Bobby won, but shouldn’t have gotten credit for it,” Petty insisted at Daytona Beach in July of 2017. “The cars weren’t the same; those cars were too different. I shouldn’t have gotten credit, but Bobby shouldn’t have, either. That was a Cup race, and he wasn’t in a Cup car.”

Heck go interview DW too because this moves Bobby ahead of him on the wins list.
 
So just saw that Tom Cruise is in talks with Paramount to make Days of Thunder 2. I would be so stoked for this. Obviously Nicole Kidman would not be back but I feel like there is a story there where Cole Trickle had early success in his career but has become a broken man facing retirement and has been struggling to perform and now he has to mentor a new young driver on the team and in doing that finds healing and closure. Maybe he can even be driving for Rowdy Burns since it would make sense that he became an owner since he was based on Dale Earnhardt and could no longer drive after the first movie. That's broad strokes obviously but Tope Gunn Maverick showed there is life in some of these legacy sequels and with technology what it is today it would look far better than the original as far as some of the continuity errors.

Days Of Thunder 2

Well this was lost around here on the real news of yesterday. Days of Thunder is my favorite racing movie ever, I hope the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed soon because I need another epic Hans Zimmer score blaring as a stock car zooms out of Turn 4...
