Can we sub Gordon for the whole year? Watching Smoke come in 4 laps down all year is going to suck.

Now you know what it was like watching Richard petty in the late 80s and 90s (could apply earlier but I wouldn't know)

e- Apparently, Danica's been shafted hard by GoDaddy, who hasn't followed through on the "personal services contract" she was promised:

Countdown until GoDaddy becomes official webservice of NASCAR

Lmao I forgot about the Trump tower thing. That makes this even funnier.

That was cause the camping world guy complained and he's pissed on twitter now. It's great. Burn it all down.

Not one thing about this surprises me. Trump's in the news more than just about anything and Brian just wants more exposure for himself and the brand. If any other candidate from either party had nearly as much TV time, I'm sure he'd be with that person instead.

I mean, come on, the old man brought Bill Clinton to the Southern 500 during the 1992 campaign trail - two months after Bush Sr. went to Daytona.

I dunno man, I think this is more Brian's doing. I doubt NASCAR corporate is enjoying this at all right now.

You know, if he had just gone on his own time, I wouldn't be OK with it, but gently caress it, he's a private citizen and he can go to the klavern if he wants. But bringing in the NASCAR drivers with him to do photo ops absolutely makes it seem like the sanctioning body's involved (even if this isn't the case), and that is real, real not good.

Photo op is an understatement, he gave a loving speech at a rally

Actually the extent of lead in the atmosphere from leaded gas was discovered when people were trying to determine the age of the earth and it was contaminating their poo poo.

this is the post where I point out that drivers always used it as a test session, and also that we have historically low levels of Cup drivers in the lower series

it's like pointing to Chicago and saying violent crime is up worldwide..... yeah Kyle is winning everything but it's better than 10-20 Cup guys in the race like the 80's had

e- this was never an issue when Earnhardt or Stewart was winning every Daytona race (why not let the Patriots play for the NCAA title, right?) or when Mark Martin was doing it, the only reason people are butthurt is it's Kyle doing it

Man people bitched about Mark Martin doing it all the time.

Why the gently caress do tracks think their audio systems need to compete with the cars? I don't give a poo poo about the trackside announcer.

The only times I've seen poo poo that was actually fast was a NASCAR race and the shinkansen passing through a station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SNlG_2sFXc

Both of them look like eh until you walk 10 feet away from the straight and they blow by. NASCAR is a bit cheaper though.

Aww good for Junyer :unsmith:

Although you'd think he'd own his own tuxedo at least to wear to the banquet each season.

I know we are talking about a multi-millionaire but travelling with a tuxedo is horrific. Usually you just call ahead with your sizes and it gets dropped off in your hotel room before you arrive.
