I blame FOX, the passage of time and Brian France for DW sounding like an idiot. Pre-FOX he was actually a decent color guy.

Dale's death broke him, but Bill Jr's death forced him (and everyone else, for that matter) into becoming a puppet. I wonder if BP would have 'retired' long ago if he hadn't have passed...

Gallagher Motorsports renamed; returning to ARCA: Gallagher Motorsports, owned by Maury Gallagher, has been renamed to GMS Racing.

Someone said JPM's running the Brickyard 400 for Penske, but I haven't seen it confirmed.

It's just kind of bizarre how "redneck" culture has been marketed to the masses post 9-11. (Which I truly blame for this crap).

It just feels like a lot of dumb madison avenue-types kind of constructed their own version of "Redneck" culture, and tried to dump it into our laps.
Somewhere along the line, redneck became equivalent to white trash.

Well, that was a very interesting day of Arca fuckery and getting caught up in shadow Cup team politics. I will be racing tomorrow in the 20 car. Lots of discussions going on right now regarding the direction of the team for the rest of the year. Can't say much more right now.
How the hell do you get a DNQ after the car finished all the races in the top-10 in points for 2013? I know they have the Gold Program or something for guys who have been there for decades, but how does that make sense?

That would be JoLo from a race at Jennerstown, I'm not sure what year. 2005 or 2006 maybe? E: It's from an ASA National Tour race in 2004.

Oh, in other news apparently the 9 and 99 ARCA teams got into a fight after the race, Chase Elliott may or may not be a little shithead, and a metal baseball bat may or may not have been thrown at someone.
