Didn't help they held it during Coke 600 weekend so everyone is camping on the infield road course. Forgot that ALMS raced the road course years ago when they relied on SMI rovals to help them.

I vaguely remember this. I also liked NBC's original intro for NASCAR, which was used for that broadcast as well.

Kaz Grala evened the score for Mosport today on Austin Cindric. :golfclap:

Hearing that the Dillons will both be in races during the NXS Chase makes me realize the "five year rule" for younger drivers should have a provision where, if you make the Cup Chase, you're considered a Cup veteran. That'd eliminate Elliott, Blaney, Larson, and Austin Dillon from those races.

Life comes at you fast:

Richard Petty:

quote:

"Anybody that don't stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period," Petty said. "What got 'em where they're at? The United States."

When asked if a protester at Richard Petty Motorsports would be fired, Petty said, "You're right."

Andrew Murstein, majority owner of RPM:

quote:

However, when reached by ESPN, Andy Murstein, the majority owner of Richard Petty Motorsports, said he would not fire an employee who protests.

"I would sit down with them and say it's the wrong thing to do that [kneel], and many people, including myself, view it as an affront to our great country," Murstein told ESPN in a text message. "If there is disenchantment towards the President or a few bad law enforcement officers, don't have it cross over to all that is still good and right about our country."

With the ease and frequency of catching an "actions detrimental to stock car racing" charge for critizing... anything, they both seem foolish for weighing in on the content of the potential protest when they could just say "We will nail to the wall anyone who tries to hijack the sponsors' show for any personal cause" and leave it at that

Look Viking you're a trash Trump supporter what the fuck makes you think you can have an avatar that isn't what I decide? Shut your fucking trap and go away. Your trolling is tiresome and just shits up the forum.
It's easy for athletes in the stick and ball sports to do what they do, because at the end of the day it's profit rolling in, often local communities are subsidizing them to an extent, and really it doesn't endanger the bottom line.

In NASCAR you do what the sponsors say because if the sponsor pulls out you literally can't compete.
