When essentially the only living legend of the sport speaks out to how horrible you are that has to be a pretty big blow to the ego right before speedweeks.

Danica Patrick released a reaction:

"LALALALALALALALALALALALA I can't hear him LALALALALA GODADDY, GOGODADDY, I am the best and Richard Petty is picking on me LALALALALALALA!"

e- Brian Williams (NASCAR fan) just brought the story up on the NBC News.

In '64 Chrysler showed up at Daytona with the first 426 Hemis. Cleaned house, tore up the year, Petty gets his first Cup. Ford shows up with a modified SOHC 427 side oiler now known as a Cammer, to get it approved for '65. Chrysler, being the loving nutjobs they were at the time, sees this happening and mocks up a DOHC 426 Hemi that was probably good for 700hp. Their intention, though, is to get the SOHC 427 banned. They succeed. France is a huge dick, though, and bans the '64 Hemi, too. Chrysler cries and pulls out, sending Petty to the NHRA for '65.



Didn't last long, in February of '65 his suspension broke and the Barracuda went off the track, hitting several people and killing a kid.

Needless to say, Chrysler strikes a deal where they put 426 Hemis in street cars starting in '66, gets the engine back in NASCAR and the King goes back to stock cars.

It's a dumb idea.

NBCSN has rights to (By all accounts) the three biggest racing series in the world. Why devote all the effort towards just focusing one series?

An RPM2NIGHT revival would be so much cooler. I mean you could have a daily show to discuss anything awesome. You could do a special show about "The Chili Bowl", be at Daytona for speedweeks, or at Indy for the month of may.

Now...I do think a weekly show for NASCAR would be intriguing if handled right. But it feels like anytime NASCAR gets a daily anything it turns into one giant, massive circle jerk.

NBC NASCAR analyst Jeff Burton, as well as TNT analyst Kyle Petty, drivers Bobby Labonte and Ken Schrader and crew chief Frank Stoddard, will rotate as guest analysts. NBC motorsports reporters Marty Snider and Kelly Stavast will be on the show daily for news updates.

NBC’s IndyCar play-by-play voice Leigh Diffey also will serve as a host of the show. IndyCar and Formula One talent for NBC — Wally Dallenbach, Townsend Bell, Steve Matchett, David Hobbs and Will Buxton — also will contribute.

In theory this would work a lot better than I had originally thought, but are they going to rebrand it when the "other" aforementioned talent is on the network?

You also certainly want Robin Miller in on this to give his two cents.

Yeah, that article is kinda confusing. Like, is David Hobbs going to be on talking about NASCAR? That poo poo will be gold. Or is the F1 team just gonna stop by 'NASCAR in 'Murica' to chat about F1 for a minute? Both seem odd.

vv Well that's pretty cool. Still will be weird though.
