Some interesting comments regarding road courses at the end of the interview
I can't figure it out why Keselowski hate road races so much...don;t show this to potential sponsors ok?

Just like he said selling sponsorship is tough. My guess is they have to sell it at a discount or make a package with more desirable races.
Really good numbers for the Trucks. I think the curiosity of a new race track and some indy racing celebs driving in the race helped.
This smells like a training issue.

Got hit by a dunk driver this morning. He was over 3X the legal limit and told the the officer his name was John Doe. He got arrested, thankfully he had insurance because my charger is toast. God is good because me and Izzy walked away fine!
There is a whole thread dedicated to Kaylee Bryson under Short Track Racing. I know some of you get a nose bleed to go over in that area. Here is a picture of the damage posted by DanicaFreak.

High pressure on the pit crews ?
More so than is put on by teams outside the JGRosphere?

Well they spent a whole year training guys for the single lug before that car even hit the track.

JGR. Just like most of recent rule changes. Last year they spent hours cleaning the #11 pit box during the playoffs. They find an advantage in doing it. So unless you spend money to keep up you fall behind.
Same reason there's a standard pit gun.
JGR could have ServiceMaster come in and restore the box to 'like new' but it still won't get Denny to stop speeding.

Sounds like NASCAR is concerned with possible damage to timing line sensors and painted markings. I recall the painted markings are critical to their pit box policing systems.

She is just trying to be like Danica.

Where were these implants? If they were in the rear that should help her with a bit more rear weight bias. I'll have to wait until I see the implants before weighing in on her motivation.
Filling the empty cavity between her ears.

Must have accidentally used whipped cream then.
Another indicator that it's time for Herbst to go.

He has to go at the end of the year if Denny wants any form of credibility when it comes to begging for more money from nascar
Just Herb$t?
Well, when your teammates are at the top of the statistic and you're 24 spots behind, you stick out as the most obvious (but not only) candidate. No other team with three or more drivers has such a disparity between them. Bubba has an entire race worth of bonus points (60).
Well, if preacher Joe can get Monster to stay, Herbst would get the "He's family" knife in the back and be gone. So far Monster it appears, makes a ton selling to the Terrible Herbst stores out west so young Riley gets a pass.
I hear you but I don't get how a chain with less than 200 stores can carry much weight with Monster. I could understand if it was Circle K or 7-Eleven with their stores numbered in the thousands. Does the chain have some leverage beyond its comparatively low number of stores? Does Monster have a contract guaranteeing it exclusivity in Terrible's energy drink cooler? Or are they more like a Buc-ee's than the average convenience store? I'll likely never be in one so I don't have any basis for comparison.
Thanks.
They have slot machines etc inside. No Buc-ee's
Ah. Not just the Nevada stores, but the CA and UT ones too?
It's been 20 years since I was in Vegas and 50 since I lived there, but back then many types of stores had slots, including groceries. I wouldn't think that was a competitive draw, at least not in NV.
I'll take your word they're big dawgs. Thanks.
