Yeah it was a stinker.

WTF is up with all the brake checking in the corners. At least 4 drivers had their day ruined but that.

KL only has to finsh 28th next week to win. Or, get 9 stage points.

If Brad has the backing to make a run at RFK he's not going to a tier 2 program unless he buys their charters. With the ruling on charters, they clearly have much more value now.

It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

Hell, he may go be the primary truck program for Dodge in anticipation of thier move to Cup. Given him specifically mentioning truck racing this is probably the most reasonable outcome.

Somebody sell me on this. I've considered doing this but is it worth the trouble?

Lest we not forget his Dad was sometimes a knucklehead too. Not quite this bad though.

We need new S&C coaches immediately



Been saying this since Saban's last few years. We're getting our asses kicked in the trenches more times than not and for the eleventyeth year in a row injuries are off the charts. Every game look at other team's injury report vs ours. It's not even close.

And the comarison of Russell to Milrow stops at they are both black and fast with a football in their hands. That's where the comparison ends.

Russell has ELITE arm talent. Has he made some bad decisions? Absolutely, but can we also not forget he's only in his 8th start? That kinda matters.

When he has a running game to keep defenses honest, he plays winning football. When he doesn't, he makes mistakes. Same at Ty, same as Jaylen, same as Mac, etc

If that's what he wanted to do he could have just stayed with RFK. He clearly wants to drive several more years.

Brad's presser is at 11 and will be streamed on NASCAR.com

What do we think this is? Brad obvously has the funding behind him to either outright buy a team or a significant portion of ownership in one. Just reading tea leaves about what's going on with a few teams and knowing what Brad's intent is I'm going to go out on a limb and say Brad buy's into Richard Childress Racing.

The once proud organization has obviously fallen on hard times and most of the time cannot seem to get out of it's own way. Brad has proven he can turn around a legacy team and make them more competitive. Richard is WAY up in years and I'm sure wants to leave those boys a competitive program. Mike Dillon obviously don't know how to right the ship.

Just one man's prediction.

Also, I gotta say it. I do not for the life of me get the Denny hate around here. He's one of only about 3 drivers with enough nuts to push back on NASCAR's dumb shite. He's put his money where his mouth is with his own team. He's one of the most engaging with the fan base going all the way back to his early days on Twitter when he'd give whole family vacations away to random fans. How many of those other entitled pricks are putting their neck on the line by speaking up.

And to call him a failure because he doesn't have a championship? That is one of the most laughable things I've ever read on here. Bitch please.

Does he take up for that fraud Bubba, yes he does. Bubba is his driver, what else would he do?

Look guys, I'm not even a Denny fan, like I was about KB I'm not a fan but don't hate on the guy when he wins.

And, he's right about the Chevy drivers and Hendrick. No one Ford team has the clout to pull that off, Toyota either.

Lots of conversation since the Dega race. Some of it good stuff, some of it gibberish.

Let start with the fuel savers. Absolute garbage racing and ALL of the drivers say it but 37 of them clearly went along with it. I was laughing my arse off when BK basically said frick this and tore out.RFK getting a 40 second lead at the "fastest" track on the circuit only highlights the absurdity of it all.

One fix to that is the pit stops. Do away with this **** arse sincle lug and go back to five lug STOCK wheel patterns. That will give them time to fill up the cars and go a long way to eliminating this nonsense.

DO AWAY WITH STAGES. It's supposed to be a 500 mile race, not 3 individual races inside of a larger one. I know they do not want to lose the advertising dollars but they are losing their fan base in the interim.

I'm OK with giving points for leading a lap, but leading more laps should be incentivised. Leading 5-10 laps gets X points, 11-20, gets X points, etc with the most laps getting a nice points bonus, not some 5 point bullshite. Make it worth drivers effort to be aggressive and not just ride around. Every driver would love to build that point cushion to make up for the impending day they get put in the fence.

I'm not smart enough to know the right points format, but a combination of old style that rewarded consistency and the new style that rewarded winning. Someone out there is smart enough to figure it out. I'm not necessarily a "win and you're in" guy because of that rando late race red flag because of rain that rewards a field filler a shot in the Chase for taking a gamble by not pitting. That's not racing.

Yep, he's done.

Blaney has the main pack skint back. They are trimming the RFK lead.

They are going to lap the field. It's inevitable now if they stay green.

Brad told the boys f this y'all.

What helped a little was Keelon kind of started being more himself again.


This kind of makes my point of frustration with Grubb. I don't think he does enough early in the game to let Keelon get some confidence. Give the man some screens, a wheel route and a couple of called QB runs.
We moved very remotely last year (been here almost a year). I have large acreage plots all around me. We literally cannot see or hear our closest neighbor. I was (quietly) worried about yotes when we moved but miracously have not seen or heard any.

We have a cat that leaves and stays gone for days at a time (I just cannot make myself have ole boy cut).

Having said that, if they do ever show up around here frick social structure. I'm killing every one I see. We enjoy seeing the turkey and deer around here and I'll do my part to keep predators away.
OK, I'll be the one to ask.

Say we actually did decide to get rid of him and money wasn't an issue, just who exactly are we going to get?

Lane? Bitch please
Sark? He can't win with a $40M roster
Lanning? Same
Norvell? Thank ya, no
Cristobol? He's home and ain't going nowhere
Stein? Kentucky is about to lock him up for a very long time
Cig? We aren't out-bidding Cuban
Dabo? That ship sailed in 2015 when the game changed and he didn't

So I ask again, who?
