The reconfiguration of Phoenix may be the dumbest thing on a massive list of dumb things NASCAR/ISC have done in the last 15 years under the guise of improving the sport. I still don't get the point.

Are we talking about trying to improve the racing on the track or the overall fan experience? Because the ISM reconfiguration has done a poo poo-ton to improve the latter. All the grandstands are in some level of shade (important in the desert), easier infield access and much more amenities and activities, and a restart area that looks really loving cool when the cars fan out like they're at Pocono.

None of that helps when the racing is still poo poo, though. That's an altogether different problem.

Yeah it's kind of remarkable.

Sounds basically like every poo poo kicker dad I've ever known.

The fact that he brings up doing sponsor gigs together as happiest memories makes me incredibly sad for him.

I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Dale Jr seems to be doing what he wants to do now, and that makes me happy because he probably won't die in the twisted burnt metal of a racecar from this point on.

At least one of Jimmiebot or Denny Hamlin will lose career-long streaks of seasons with at least one win at Homestead. Jimmie has won a race in each year since 2002 and Hamlin since 2006.

Didn't hear anything when Chastain, racing for CGR, slowed before a stage win to allow the person behind him to unlap himself. He was verbally reprimanded over the radio by his crew chief I think, and that was it.

I think the most damning commentary about NASCAR today is that it's possible that, depending on how tomorrow turns out, two of three champion teams may not go to Daytona next season. We already know Furniture Row is shutting down and it sounded like Hattori is still on shaky ground. :(

That has to be the trigger for a come to Jesus in Daytona.

e- Is JRM going to be able to run the 9 without sponsorship next year? That could be three for three.
