There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


RPM is gonna merge again with another team cause it's already the corpse of like 5 teams.

RIP Danica Patrick's Cup career (unless somebody takes a flyer on her because they like having lots of body guys on staff).

Rode out Irma in Daytona. No power for two days. Rumors are our neighborhood not getting power back until Sunday. That, combined with the airport being closed, has us in a hotel until Saturday (I was supposed to be back at my desk at work right now).

The typical restoration time even after the worst storms was a little over a day because of our location on a power grid which runs right down International Speedway Blvd and eventually connects to a hospital. The rumor on a neighborhood social media site before the storm came in is we were taken off that grid because of One Daytona, Lesa France's legacy project and high-end shopping center, hence this situation. :fuckoff:

They were recently bought out by a Chinese company, maybe when the books were audited they realized how poo poo RPM is vs how much they are paying them.

The "performance" was sexual.

THEY WERE loving THE PIGS.

Richard Petty accepted a tenth of a billion dollars to keep their secret. Then they fled to China, leaving Dear Richard behind holding the jurisdictional bag. Now he's feigning repentance but no apology will wash the stain from his reputation or the shame from his soul.

With that reasoning we could put the turn 4 wall at Daytona into the HoF. It definitely put NASCAR in front of a lot of eyes.

"Danica's going to get in the Hall of Fame for being a trailblazer and pioneer for women in racing!"

...who rode a wave of ESPN-induced hype she herself eventually bought into, creating an egotistical twat obsessed with her own brand, who made a career out of (to her credit) a tremendous mastery of how to work sponsors and the media, eventually garnering a sponsor who would back anything she wanted to do, won one race in her entire career on a fluke, transitioned to NASCAR and accomplished nothing with JRM dba Hendrick and SHR other than knock down a bunch of walls, and whose career in NASCAR ended, ironically enough, because she couldn't find a sponsor.

If anything, she made it harder for women to succeed in NASCAR because, if she really were a pathfinder, Johanna Long would have a ride but she wasn't hot enough or something and never got anything more than that #70 car in NXS. I literally can't name a female driver anywhere in the NASCAR ladder right now other than Kenzie Ruston.

Oh, and she'll be first-ballot because we're a country, culture, and world which worships celebrity while some guy who actually won races will get passed over.

"Three or four days ago I had a great plan to do sprint cars, and see if I could do an IndyCar race or two, do a couple of NASCAR races like the [Daytona] 500, the Brickyard, things like that," Kahne said.

That actually sounds really cool if he didn't find a Cup ride. He also said he's talked to SHR but it's not going to happen:
