Really they should have had a race between Hendrick and FRR on the track on the bikes though.

That's a real bummer, but it seems like he's on track to do more sprint car stuff so it's not like he's done forever at least.

We've hit a real deluge of dudes I grew up watching retiring here.

Who wants to feel old?

Full-time drivers remaining from 2003: Jimmie, Harvick, Newman, Kurt, McMurray (it's fewer than I thought) :stonk:
2008: Jimmie, Harvick, Clint, Denny, Kyle, MTJ, McMurray, Newman, Kurt, Dinger.

The really shocking thing is that there are two remaining from F1 in 2003 (Raikkonen and Alonso) and four from ICS/CART (Dixon, Kanaan, Bourdais, RHR). I would've expected NASCAR to have way, way more than those series.

So I checked ALMS and Grand-Am and they have less full timers left than NASCAR from the full timers then. One thing I'll give, Grand-Am in 03 had maybe 2 or 3 teams tops in each class doing the full year. But barely any of them left.

drat. Knaus still at the grind while Darian "One Time" Grubb gets the office job. With Knaus though it's probably what he prefers.

It'll be a real test of Little Lord Byron with a crew chief that fired up and experienced.

He's interesting because he's using the "try to parlay a personality into a ride" gimmick. In other words, NASConor Daly. To his credit, it worked.

This race is from Charlotte, apparently. Rick Allen just told us so.

There have been some wins I've particularly liked since (Smoke at Sonoma, Larson's first win, Blaney's wins, Elliott choking away Dover and Phoenix last year), but I don't think I've enjoyed a win this much since Gordon retired.

This happens every race, but :3: 10 team.

Makes you wonder how long some of those guys suffered through Danica in that car to get to that point.
