That's all we're going to pick out from that?

With that being said, having a K&N spec car that costs 30,000 makes superlatemodels that run 50-60k look really stupid....

I agree with Landon, Hornish, and Wise.

I like Gluck but he can GTFO with the Ragan and Speed suggestions. Ragan is about 17 points behind his teammate in points fwiw.

Speed has personality going for him, but I just don't see that must-win attitude in him. I remember when he and Stenhouse clashed in the '08 ARCA finale and it cost him the championship his response was basically "Well, it's just ARCA."

"Arrogant prick" is the attitude I've always seen out of him. He/his car was/were dogshit in Indy 500 qualifying a couple years ago, so they brought Patrick Carpentier to shake down the car. He crashed and got his bell rung.

Speed was asked if he'd heard from Carpentier, responding "Nope. Not even an apology."

He was also fired by Red Bull because he was A Bad Driver, and said he was "Hella disappointed" at the way things were handled even though he was Bad.

Whoa, I remember Carpentier getting in Speed's Indycar and crashing but I hadn't heard that second part.

Do you have any decent opinions?

GRC and rally anything now does suck, but it is kinda decent to watch.

GRC is like someone took literally everything appealing out of rallycross. It is also dangerous, due to the gap jumps which gives it my favorite combination in all motorsport: Boring/Dangerous, which I guess makes it like Indycar with the old Dallara kites.

World Rallycross, on the other hand, is actually really cool, because it actually resembles rallycross.

Nah, the euronized nascar horseshit is the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, which has such revelations as:

Whenever I've seen the Whelen on TV, they're always been racing around bollards in a car park.
