yeah petty was fine. if you want to find drivers to compare patrick to, you're looking at guys like jj yeley or jason leffler, and even then leffler didn't even last a season at gibbs so who knows if he'd improve to being better than her (prolly not but, y'know).

5 seasons in a championship-winning team and she had zero wins, zero top-5s and 7 top-tens. she is legit among the absolute worst drivers to ever drive for a major team in the modern era.

The Mello Yello 42 rules and I've been hoping to get one from the Daytona Flea Market but the one NASCAR place left never has them.

Never change, Junyer. :negative:

The original Tweet, which didn't embed, was asking him about pushing back on phantom debris cautions and stages.

e- The conversation was started by Keselowski, who essentially confirmed (as SRA did when Caution Clock was announced) that NASCAR was putting out boredom cautions.

Monster blew through the deadline they were given (Dec 31) to decide to pick up the two-year option on their title sponsorship, so NASCAR has given them an extension.

NASCAR wanted $100M and got $20M. Can't remember if that's for the life of the contract or per year.

Chris Neville has retired from broadcasting:

Not that there's a shortage of people who could be pit reporters, but that's Mike Massaro and Chris Neville in two years. Neville was somewhat unique in NASCAR because he was a former driver.

A one year contract with a two year option? That's loving pathetic. That deal is so bad for NASCAR that you have to wonder how bad off they are in order to take it. Think about how bad it would be that after going 50+ years with Winston, and then about a decade with Nextel/Sprint, they only went one year with Monster. That would be honestly damaging to any brand, especially a brand as damaged as NASCAR.

Maybe it's time to go without a title sponsor. Maybe that would free up some money for team sponsorship.
