I'll go there ... there's a segment of college football fans who view these folks as nothing more than gladiators performing for their entertainment, and if I remember correctly gladiators weren't exactly compensated. People can yap about the days of "amateur student-athletes" all they want to (e...
Yes because I have known for decades that once the right case got to the courts this house of cards would come tumbling down. And I knew that people not involved with sports would be making the decisions, which frustrates people who can’t think outside the sports box when it comes to a jillion d...

Fightin Tigers I don't know if you've seen this but this is an outrageously cool video from earlier this year of Dave Marcis giving someone a tour of his old race shop. This is what a race shop should look like. Dave was still building street rods for people up until a few years ago, I've not ...

Dave lived in a house trailer like until the 1990s because it suited him. Great guy who was in this to race, not to become a jillionaire or a brand....
The Rose Bowl has never been really about "the game" or the competitive sports angle, it's about the whole Jan. 1 deal for them. Y'all may not know this: When Walter O'Malley moved the Dodgers to Los Angeles, his first choice for a temporary home until they got Dodger Stadium built was the Rose B...

Landon Cassill is ragging on Denny Hamlin for pleading that teams need more money from NASCAR. Interview on “The Money Lap,” cited on X. ”NASCAR is not making you hire 100 engineers. NASCAR is not making you rent private jets. NASCAR is not making you spend $250,000 on a pit box.” Denny res...

Uh, because the rules don’t allow for what you suggest even if fans think it would be the fair and equitable thing to do? Again if Blaney had taken the inside to start with as he should have done and not overthought the situation and tried to predict when Keselowski was going to run out of gas, w...

Blaney and his crew chief should have said the hell with speculating on exactly what spot Keselowski would run out of fuel and taken the inside spot and been done with it. I’m wondering if The Captain might point that out to them at the post-race post mortem. I’m sure he wasn’t pleased. ...

You’re absolutely right, I guess my thought was “they have two turns to go, let them take their chances and get the damn thing over with!” I understand why they changed it and I am 100% for safety but sometimes I miss racing back to the caution flag. It was much less complicated. My point abou...

Honestly, I don’t have a problem all things being even with no caution at the end because I think he was far enough out of the way, and IMO they sometimes are too quick to throw cautions to try to promote exciting finishes. But that’s the problem, all things aren’t equal because they aren’t consi...

Sad, I remember when I was a kid you sent $1.95 or something like that to Daytona Beach and they’d send you one. And it wasn’t that big. God only knows what it looks like now. Blaney has cooled off and is basically saying it was just “caca happens” and it was more unfair than illegal that Larson ...

Following up on my last post which was INCORRECT and I corrected, what folks at the racing board are saying is that under NASCAR rules the third-place car can move up to the front row if something happens to the leader on a restart like today. Can anyone with a rule book prove or disprove that?...

OK, some folks at a strictly racing board I post at are saying that Blaney is out in the woods here, that under NASCAR rules the third-place car can move up to the front row if something happens to the leader like today with Keselowski. I’m not saying that is true or not, but does anyone have a NASC...
