Yeah after Indy, she's making a clean break from racing to do her lifestyle stuff. I laugh each time I have packed away one of her books. And go man, suckered so many people.

I saw the video of Speed trying to take him out and holy poo poo he can't even take some one out right. And ragequitted so bad he sold his setup, not like there are other sims to use it for.

Since 2013. Doesn't help it's been 20 years since the 98 500, and wasn't today the 17th anniversary?

Ah, the times when Nascar was good. "Caution is out, but whoever gets to the line first will be the winner" not "Well we gotta see where everyone was at when the caution came out"

Also, the crew riding on the car at the end, that poo poo would never fly in 2018 Nascar.

It's kind of justified to do this to not kill someone.

DW last night on RaceHub said he could've put Jimmiebot in his Truck in the late 90s but passed because he didn't think an off-road driver would be able to transition to NASCAR.

Funny you mention this, I was listening to Jeremy Mayfield's episode on Dinner with Racers and he was considered to be in the 48.

Also that episode is amazing of his side of the drug testing, house got raided, and so forth to dunking on Ray Evernham and very specifically Brian France. He even said Dale Earnhardt said to him to save his money because when Brian takes over NASCAR, it will fall apart.

And they have a title sponsor.

And people go to the races.

And they don't actively poo poo on people who watch it.

You'd never know they have the same owners.

Helps having a France that gives a poo poo about his sport. NASCAR needs a serious shakeup in administration, but that'll never happen.

Another report about a NASCAR sale, with this one featuring a former NASCAR executive dumping on the sport and the Post indicating that a NASCAR buyer could be paying $25B on a gamble that the sport will reverse its trend (:lol:): https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...m=.86282c6148d8

I hope ISC is not bundled in with NASCAR. A good way that maybe we could go to some new tracks rather than just make a everything a roval if we have to. And maybe ISC goes after a few more Indycar races like California or Michigan would be cool. Speaking of this and the HoF, with the sale, Smokey Yunick won't be shunned from the sport, hopefully.

Cale Yarborough nearly ran a Cup race in 1997:

That would've been awesome.

Something tells me Cale might have done well since his car was a rocket ship that year.

I'm going to guess that about 99% of drivers have a similar opinion so *fart noise*

Yeah but still seeing it right out in front is quite lovely. You can add Gragson and Keselowski jumping in but hooray knowing most of these drivers have very dumb values.

wasn't there a thing ages ago where they asked all the drivers what political party they were registered as and jeff gordon was the only democrat

So I think that was a thing Fox did in 2004 since it was election year, gotta ask what's your party.

Harvick ran the K&N race last year, didn't he?

Like I kinda give the younger guys a bit of a pass, but Jesus.

He actually raced another one this year. I'll give him a pass, it was Kern County which is Bakersfield brought back so he can drive at his home track.

Anyone watching this dumb poo poo show of a late model race at Martinsville. Got drivers ejected, windshields being torn off, slamming each other under caution, and race control said after 3 GWC's the race is over and now we're at this point and sitting on a red flag not knowing if we'll get a checkered flag.

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.

The whole band is getting back together. Sure I'll take the sponsor to grab the money to be paying your guys and stuff and not to commercials and such.

aero/engine schedule



Well that's something they skipped on telling us. So is it just the aero ducts that change each race and does it include different spoilers too? 550 hp and 2018 aero rules sounds borderline awful.

I'm going to wait til they have more cars and it's the 1st race for this package. It didn't look like they could create a 2nd line of cars with not having a lot of cars out their and no one wanting to tear up cars so rather just stay in line.
