I was listening to Shawn Michaels on Chris Jericho's podcast and they talked about his son's racing career (I believe he had been racing legends cars), and he mentioned that they pulled him out of that because as he was getting more successful they were finding that the situations often involved bad behavior or unsportsmanlike tactics paying off. I found that interesting since it's so prevalent in K&N with the 15-16 year olds that come up.

What did SRA do to HBK's kid?? :smith:

""SAFER barrier should have been there tonight," Chitwood says. Says he "doesn't have a good answer" why it was not."
""We can't look at financials as a reason for this. We have to fix this right now," Chitwood said."
""Come Monday, we'll start the plan to put SAFER barrier everywhere and finances can't come into play," Chitwood said."
"Track will place tire packs along the 850-foot section of wall before tomorrow's Daytona 500."

Clint Bowyer will call Xfinity races on FOX at California and Charlotte.

They're going to have more guest analysts than drivers before too long. They just announced Danica would be doing it along with Harvick, Gordon, and Kes.


Yeah, you can. I still call it the Busch Series.

Fox is clearly helping the fans by getting the Buschwackers to do commentary instead of races.

Want to know the ridiculousness of NASCAR merchandising? I got bored tonight and inventoried my Gordon car collection, which has been growing for 20 years. Around 2007, I stopped buying cars which I deemed to either a) be so close to the standard scheme that it wasn't worth the money and/or b) a released car which was the same as a scheme run in previous years.

I have 71 diecasts, most of which are 1:64. Four are the same car, repeat purchases (Gordon Rainbow 1996, 1999 1:64, 1997 1:144. Gordon Flames 2004), but shifts to new body style (Gordon Monte Carlo 1995, 2007 Flames CoT) count as different. I plan on picking up the Panasonic car (it rules) and, because I'm a glutton, his AARP car for this year.

AARP has had a new paint scheme in four of their five seasons.

There are 16 cars I didn't buy, and I probably should've bought 2 or 3 of those but just didn't for whatever reason.

One additional car, his Farmville car from 2012, was never released due to licensing issues.

Yeah but do you have a Jeff Gordon blanket?
