NASCAR does have a vague line that they won't let drivers cross, I think. If it's retaliation (of the bulldozing variety) out of pure spite with disregard for safety (Busch on Hornaday in the Texas truck race, or Kenseth on Logano) then they'll drop the hammer.

Yeah, once they were literally off-roading the mindset was probably "Well, gonna need to lean into him to win it", adding insult to injury.

Did anything change here? Or is a minor sponsorship no one could care less about just continuing to exist? God, imagine being the marketing guy who has to make that announcement sound interesting.

Sure, the first 30000 at Texas Motor Speedway get a really awesome Smoke bobblehead, but it comes with the knowledge that he will probably wreck your personal car on the way out of the park lot.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Gordon comments on the 88 schedule the rest of the season:

quote:

Though the schedule lines up well with his strengths, Gordon said it wasn't solely set by his preference. Bowman will race New Hampshire Motor Speedway because he already filled in for Earnhardt there in July. Because of schedule conflicts, Gordon can't race at some 1.5-mile tracks, so it made more sense to keep Bowman at all of them.

"It'd be best for the team for him to be in all of those," Gordon said. "We know he's a talented driver, too, and want to see what he's capable of doing. He does a lot of work in the simulator for us. Matching up actual race data and conditions to the simulator helps us develop the simulator, too."

"It's a combination of what's best for the team, what's best for the sponsors and sort of Junior's wishes as well," Gordon said. "He's big on Alex Bowman, and the team has really enjoyed having him in the car. We want to make sure our sponsors are getting everything out of it as well. They do a lot for us.

That was my thought as well. Some of the races have been pretty ugly when you catch a glimpse of the stands on TV. Last week at Darlington in seemed pretty full at least but Texas? Have they had 30,000 at the last two races combined?

No, see, he sells tickets and is good for the sport. Didn't you see all those fans losing their minds over a Kyle Busch Xfinity win? We can't impede on that!

A friend of mine did a legal wedding well before a formal ceremony.

Granted, she did it because his Visa was going to expire well before a ceremony could be organized, but if that'd be an option, there you go.

If there's enough interest, I'm gonna do the Chase Pick 'Em Game again for fabulous, glorious bragging rights. I'm encouraged since last season's scoring system actually worked. You'll pick who's going the farthest out of each group of four, with bonus points for the lowest finisher in the Chase and maybe a bonus for a correct champion pick.

Let me know.
