His Twitter kind of makes it look like he works for SHR rather than the mothership, but he does not tweet like he is a real bright dude.

In other news, Gluck is reporting that anyone who doesn't make a qualifying attempt for the Xfinity race because their car won't pass inspection will have to serve a pass through penalty when the race goes green.

Unintended consequence of having less than capacity fields I suppose- what is the point of qualifying if you know you're going to make the race?

This was my argument when they ran the heat races which were effectively pointless because they had run qualifying before and those in the heat races were in the field. There was nothing to lose in the heat as the field was determined.

I thought it was pretty good even though it was the Joey show. I like Cali though, I dread the day they repave it.

I tried to watch but got to Stage 2 and saw the inevitability of the one good Cup guy in the field winning and gave up.

In the last stage Logano pitted basically against his crew chiefs wishes and restarted like 20 positions back.

He had a five second lead in I think 5 laps.

Even cup guy aside the race was garbage. There was literally nothing compelling about anything happening anywhere on the track. It looked like your normal commute to work on a big highway.

I wonder if one problem with the playoff system is that once you've got a few wins you basically don't have to give a poo poo about racing carefully at all

I am curious why nobody seems to ever have a lap down teammate take a spin toward the end to bring out a caution and bunch everyone up again.

Yea, but if you're running in 10th and your teammate is 30th, have them take a little spin, bring out the caution. And then you're in position to win the race.

Watching some of the old races, its fun seeing them directly talking about the race purse and what the drivers are actually racing for money wise.

It might as well be, with the DEI connection.

The more irritating thing is that the number font is all tied up in Teresa's bullshit so that car number looks kind of like rear end.

Dale was asked in one of his last podcasts last year if he'd like to run the 8 in NXS and he initially considered it, only to remember ^that^ and decide it wouldn't be as cool.

Speaking of paint schemes, Byron's Liberty ride will have white numbers now because his spotter was having trouble picking out the red numbers on the side of the car:

It's a school founded by Jerry Falwell, a television preacher. His hits are:

Starting up the Moral Majority and telling his viewers to vote Republican which offended even other televangelists
Calling Martin Luther King "dangerous"
Supported Apartheid
Invented the "Bill Clinton is a serial killer" conspiracy
Said America deserved 9/11 because of all the "pagans and feminists"

also I'm pretty sure Liberty was founded as a whites-only school and only allowed integration when the IRS revoked its tax-exempt status.
