If it's not a cologne or energy drink it loving well should be.

e- Danica just said she saw the 10 on the pylon and thought they were fast, then remembered she's the 7. Laughing with, not at. :lol:

Looks like they fixed that little issue, she's now entirely non-suspiciously fastest.

I imagine after Waltrip, NAPA is just surprised that some teams are actually professional.

Are you really allowed to reverse halfway round the circuit like that?

The biggest thing about that video is how long you can watch before an official bothers to do anything.

About a minute after the crash one slowly ambles along the barrier like he's walking back to his car from Subway.

I think of that often. We lost Kenny Irwin and the King's grandson in a very short time and nothing. But we lose Senior and poo poo loving happens. I hate that we lost them, and I especially hate it that it took Dale dying for things to change. If HANS devices had been required years ago we could be celebrating the tail end of Adam's career now and Dale could be crotchety on Twitter.

Same with F1, do we think we'd have seen half those changes in the last 20 years if Ayrton's suspension had flown 2 feet further left and it was "only" Roland that died.

If Pocono isn't "an oval" then neither are any of the tri-ovals.

As a very foreign, very casual viewer of Nascar on and off for 25 years now, let me assure you Benny Parsons was a goddamn national treasure.

I have no idea what Liberty is, I'm presuming we're talking the college for people who couldn't get into Trump University.

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.

Oh wow.

How many sport leagues actually do have an entitlement sponsor? I mean it's not the Denny's Grand Slam Baseball League or the Hooters Football League. The major sport leagues in the US is just the MLB, NFL, & NBA.

The only "World" level motorsport I know of with one is the World Touring Car Cup, and that's only a car parts company rather than a household brand.

that roughly translates to about 30 minutes and 4 minutes worth of ads over a 3 and a half hour broadcast

That's only green flag though, all the yellow flag commercials have to be added.

There it is.

And the worst thing about Furniture Row is they’re based in Colorado, which may be good for quality of life but it makes changing teams a whole lot harder for the rank and file guys. From last year’s Dinner With Racers with Cole Pearn it seemed like a big positive for the team. Unless it goes under...

I wonder if there's the counterpoint that it does mean they can attract people that might not otherwise work in Nascar and hold onto them.

Kasey Kahne will not run at Indy due to "extreme heat exhaustion".

Is this like that time he ragequit the 9 car starting at Charlotte because of Carbon Monoxide poisoning but ran a 5k the next day?

He all but said "I don't give a poo poo anymore" in his "retirement" announcement.

So yeah this may be true or not but he's certainly not making any effort to run.

It's vanishingly tiny even in the UK, where you'd think it might have a chance, this is a country where the BTCC gets 8 hours coverage on an FTA network every round.

The main game is on a fairly obscure subscription sports channel and tiers 2 and 3 are buried on an even more obscure free mostly internet network that I've previously only used to watch an Ice Hockey match between the Milton Keynes Lightning and the Coventry Blaze.

Which I think gives you an idea of their resources.


Let's go Lightning!
