How much does that ad suck? So much they disabled comments for both those similar videos. And after checking a half dozen other videos, that's not their default upload setting.

It's a mix of my two least favorite things.

NASCAR trying to compare itself and promote itself during a sporting event i'm watching

and

The lovely country act they always have before you're trying to watch a race.

Seriously, how many times has that Dierks Bentley guy been asked to play?

What can honestly be done about roof side impacts though? Thinking on a NASCAR level, they have the Earnhardt bar so the Russel Phillips...incident isn't repeated, but these cars can't diffuse energy that way.

NASCAR is apparently about to curb burnouts which cause destruction to racecars out of concern that Joe Gibbs Racing teams may be hiding things.

Today, on the 25th anniversary of his crash, I announced I'm writing a book about J.D. McDuffie, and posted an excerpt here. The first draft is nearly done.

Been collecting some interesting information and stories the last few years, including this rare picture of #70 on the grid before the race, taken by his fan club:

Thank you. And if your friend would like to be interviewed about the race, that'd be great; the more research the better.

Who's ready to have 40 jabronis who want to wreck the whole drat field all trying to do so simultaneously?

quote:

As the first official NASCAR game on PS4, we recognized we had the power to do things never before possible in a NASCAR game. So we committed to giving players the real deal: a full field of 40 racers in online multiplayer - 40 human players all going for the checkered flag in the same race.

And just because you don't like country music it doesn't mean that everything they do is the worst thing that's ever happened!!!
