There are so so many cities I hope to never have to go to again. Like the entire San Joaquin Valley (to include Fresno, Modesto, Madera, Corcoran, Bakersfield, Turlock etc). Or Orlando. Phoenix. Reno. West Texas as a whole. Heck ill switch to whole states, Iowa. Missouri. Nebraska.

I kinda enjoyed parts of St. Louis in defense of Missouri.

Not sure I'd want to live there though.

Ohio is a fine place to live, lot of friendly people, and such IMO.

Des Moines is a nice small midwestern city if you like that sort of thing. It's very livable. And Iowa Speedway owns.

That is almost 100% a joke about the NBA finals. What does that have to do with racing fans?

I care very little about some random dude on satellite radio making a dumb fan joke about a totally different sport.

Des Moines is the weirdest place on earth. Half of it is the standard Midwestern small town and then you cross some invisible border and walk into a hipster's paradise, complete with strange cultural fusion restaurants and an entire store dedicated to selling "ironic" t-shirts and trinkets. It's trippy as hell, the very last thing you'd expect in a tiny Midwest town. The Mexican food owned though

e2: I really believe that there's not one city better than the other in this country. All have their poo poo areas, all have their nice areas. It's just a dumbass hot take from a guy trying to be Colin Cowherd.

Every city has its good and bad points, even self-titled centers of the universe like New York and Los Angeles. I'd rather spend a day in Charlotte than Cleveland, and I'd probably prefer to visit both over NYC. Everyone's mileage may vary.

If it makes you feel better, that producer was poo poo on for a good 15-20 minutes by Moody the two days I heard his show during the free trial, though it was probably a lame radio gimmick where he leans mercilessly on the producer for what he thinks is humorous.

I had a dream about SRA last night. Can this be the dream confession forum thread about our beloved goon racing driver? Anyway they were racing at some nondescript night track, SRA passing someone low (I have no idea who. Wasn't JWT unfortunately). SRA comes up into the guy and wrecks himself. After the race, everyone's having post-race interviews. Well, they're interviewing the guy SRA made contact with, and SRA comes storming into the frame like some possessed ape defending his territory. They get into a scuffle, and then SRA's crew guys are hauling him away (literally carrying him by the shoulders as if he only weighed as much as an infant). Unnamed racecar driver is pounding into his chest left and right, and SRA's just shaking his head with some smug expression like nope, you can't hurt me you dumb bitch.

That's all. Carry on.

NASCAR apparently wants to get the race in today, you know, so everyone at the track (or jammed on the roads leaving the track) will be stuck in severe weather later. Good plan.

For their purposes, it's always in NASCAR's best interest to get the race in on the right day, so that's not really surprising. I dunno if they'll pull it off today though.

quote:

Lund claimed that Petty had taken a swing at him and he charged at the elder Petty, who was at the edge of the platform. “I kicked him in the rear end, and I mean he took off of there like a big damned bird,” said Lund. When Petty landed, he looked up at Lund, “Is that the way you fight?” “Hell no,” Lund said. “Stay there. I’m coming down.” He jumped off and later recalled, “commenced to knocking the poo poo out of him.”

If it is in their best interest, they should start having wet tires for when it is raining but not flooding.


I also wish Fox's mic's captured more low range than they do. It would be nice if I could feel it during the crank it up.

One of them hit him in the goddamned toe and he went hobbling off, holding his foot.”

I hate Pocono because I can't drive it, in every NASCAR game I"ve ever had I can't drive it, I can't figure it out but so far it's been a fun race to watch, glad I'm working form home today and can keep an eye on it while doing work.
