Joey Logano is between the benches with Brian Boucher for tonight's Flyers/Capitals game, which is apparently a Daytona 500 promotion.

The game is on NBC, which doesn't cover the 500. I don't think I've ever seen that sort of cooperation in NASCAR- you didn't even see that in the NFL until a couple years ago.

Sports ratings are all in the shitter and TV executives are getting fired. They will try anything.

Also regarding a possible NASCAR sale: Trading an entire fading motorsports empire for one NFL team is far, far too good a decision for it to ever be made by Brian France.

What if that team is the Browns?

Even pitting an extra time before the last yellow, Harvick was still able to pass the other 2 that tried to win on pit strategy.

It took him 2.3 seconds to pass them after his last pit. (Well he came out in front of two of them) The problem with pitting one less time is you are running 35 laps on the worst tires possible. It was a play for an early rain ending which would have worked but no rain came. Either way, watching Harvick lap the whole field would have been better but stupid stages, competition caution and the air hose screwed that up.

Seriously, did Kyle Busch get in serous poo poo for reversing on a live track? Did he go back out after that? Surely there was damage to his brakes or suspension.

That was the only part of the truck race that made the highlights.

Somewhere in LA, New York, Daytona, or Charlotte, Brian France excitedly perks up and falls off his couch in a drunken stupor at the news that NASCAR will be taking another stab at the mainstream through a lovely, canned reality show:

Hey guys, NASCAR heard you wanted the sport to be even more complicated, so here's what they're doing with ARCA (and K&N)!


https://hometracks.nascar.com/2018/10/06/nascar-lays-out-competition-framework-for-arca-racing-series-kn-pro-series-in-2020/

So, that...is three different series with something resembling a Chase at the end where ARCA and K&N merge?

Merge as in you have to weld a car from each series together and one driver steers and the other works the pedals?
