another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

A Georgia man is suing NASCAR for $500M for racial discrimination, claiming they refused to help he and his organization get support for Black-run race teams. He also claims Steve Harvey was involved in wanting to start a team, which was interfered with by NASCAR.

http://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/17591108/man-files-500-million-race-discrimination-lawsuit-nascar

He'd better run, because NASCAR's going to countersue for defamation, while Harvey adamantly denies involvement and says he wishes the guy had some money so he could also sue him, "but he ain't got none".

Remember everyone's favorite 'pocket commando', Patricia Driscoll? Of "I'm a CIA agent and mercenary but Kurt Busch roughed me up but probably not actually any of that" fame? Well:

ESPN posted:

WASHINGTON -- The former girlfriend of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch was charged Tuesday with stealing from a military charity she led.
...
Driscoll, 38, was indicted on seven federal charges: two counts each of wire fraud, mail fraud and tax evasion, and one count of attempts to interfere with administration of Internal Revenue laws. She also faces a first-degree fraud charge under District of Columbia law.
...
Driscoll was part of "a scheme" to allegedly use "forged documents, false accounting entries, inflated donation amounts, and false statements in order to convince donors to give money to the AFF, thereby enriching herself," according to the indictment.

I kind of missed the story when Kurt was re-instated; I assume all the allegations against him turned out to be total BS too?

IIRC they came to the conclusion that something physical happened but they didn't have enough evidence. In hindsight, it's pretty easy to think maybe he got physical with her because she's a raving lunatic.

Cole Pearn's using Jedi mind tricks to help NASCAR decide to release this confusing bullshit:

quote:

NASCAR has decided to increase the tolerances for postrace measurements and lug nuts, eliminating all lower-tier penalties and only issuing a penalty if it reaches the point where suspensions would be issued and a win would not be allowed to count toward advancement in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. The decision is retroactive to the race last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, meaning that race winner Martin Truex Jr. and 12th-place finisher Jimmie Johnson will not be penalized for being outside the tolerances by a minimal amount. Johnson remains eighth in points.

I saw something about penalties only being issued for "most egregious violations".

We all know what this means in NASCAR Speak. "Sub-jec-tive".

Anyone have any good links, photos and videos during the "Aero Wars" era of Cup?

I'd LOVE to see it.

e: Also a new av. if possible.

Like, which aero war era are you talking about? There were two eras, the 1969-1970 one with the winged cars and Talladega/Cyclones, or the early 90's Thunderbird/Lumina war.

e- the second one actually started with the Monte Aerocoupe in what....'86? '87?

I can't wait until they bury some underfunded team like the #95 team or something for some minor infraction in a race where they finished 10 seconds off the pace and 12 laps down all while letting a big team off with a slightly less than "most egregious violation".

Eh. Either.

I just love the romanticism of NASCAR's MFG's going all out on stuff like aerodynamics and such. It feels at times that element of the sport is kinda brushed aside, and it's really fascinating honestly.
