The Brian Vickers Special

I was at that Dega race. We had to run because the beers being thrown from the upper deck were like that scene from 300 where the arrows blotted out the sun. And some were falling short.

If you were wondering about how that new NASCAR sitcom is on Netflix, it all comes down to how you feel about Kevin James. Either it's a giant piece of poo poo built around an unfunny star so loving lazy his character has the same name, or it's an unfunny low effort sitcom with a couple of driver cameos and the actually funny Gary Anthony Williams.

Just close your eyes and imagine it's Uncle Ruckus playing their chief mechanic, and it's 20% funnier

Also it's hilarious that they cast a cheap Allison Brie lookalike

Seeing Kyle Larson slamming the wall reminded me of a time I saw Cale Gale (former truck series driver for Harvick) confront another late model driver at Mobile International in the pits and ask him "why did you n***r up my buddy in turn 3". Like, I haven't thought about that in years but I was 100% sure wherever he was watching this race he was saying it again

I make decent middle class money and thought about running a kart for fun, then asked a few questions and noped the gently caress out. If it was the ONLY hobby or interest I ever had I could swing it. Barely.

hahah holy poo poo the details of that incident

quote:

According to Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports, D'Hondt's arrest stems from a September 7, 2020 incident where D'Hondt began arguing with an employee at a jet ski rental company. The employee claimed that D'Hondt made "full body contact and yelled in my face pushing me back multiple times with body", and also hit the employee's arm away and swung a fist at her.

If you ever get a chance, race Bombers at a dirt track. They're practically a half step from the junkyard, and some owners will rent theirs out. I did it one night at Augusta and slung an old broke-rear end LTD sideways for ten minutes around the dirt track outside Fort Gordon, and my wife practically had to do surgery to get the grin off my face.

Not to say there's none of that, but you're assuming that NASCAR writes/enforces rules with any conception of what the implications are of behavior/consequences in a real race.

yeah any joke whose premise is NASCAR reading its own rulebook is self-defeating
