This was the most incredible event, not only in motor sports, but any even, that I have ever attended in my life. The place was sparkling, well attended and just simply amazing.

Yes sir Mr Rod, noone could have run on that track yesterday. WIndshields or not, it was too muddy. Could you imagine the drivers getting slimed without a windshield? That was not a solution at all. You are correct, these are cup cars and trucks. Removing the windshield would require doing something with the ECU system which is vital to these cars. Then do something different to the cooling and air ducts. At some point, it is not a cup car any longer. The had already run dirt cars during the week. This was the attraction, running cup cars on dirt. The idea just did not get cooperation from mother nature. Nascar put a lot of time, effort and money into this. It is not over, there is time for this to at least be a good show.

Whiteaker is a very solid driver. I doubt he has a PR guy, but that is who gets the recognition, the guys with PR guys. Most of the time, the Press will only write negative press on a driver so they can get some hits on their page/site. They dont report much about good old boys just racing. I know the guys with Billions of dollars requested this Bristol Dirt fiasco, I hope they learned their lesson. There could have been racing on the pavement yesterday. When there is that much money on the line attached to television, dirt is not the answer. Unreliable, dusty and muddy. And why Bristol?

Holy Moly, what a finish at the Xfinity race at Phoenix. Lets see what today brings, more of the same? Lets hope so, this is awesome to watch. The texas guy even finished 7th. Great run

I understand a lot of what you are saying, but 4 doors? OUCH, that is like dating a fat girl man. Trust me, everyone knows the old muscle car look that are on the road today with modern technology, the Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, etc. I am just not for that much change, just like i do not like boys going into the bathrooms with girls. You gotta draw the line somewhere

But the Nascar life is so much more than the 3-4 hour race. You get in your RV that you bought from Camping World, load up the family, the dogs and the grill, head to the venue on Thursday. Set up in the camp ground, grill some burgers, drink some beer, watch the races, load back up on Monday and come home. It is a 4 or 5 day event that you can do as many time a year as you want. I would rather do that than go to any dirt race, but to each his own. Dirt is not my deal, but enjoy it while I enjoy the other

Yes it sure does. The money will not end for Nascar, it just goes up and down. The money ends for me and you when they bury us. They money is for the people after us.

Yes, it does sound stupid, but that is what it is. The TV deal is about $8,000,000,000 (8 bbbbbbbiiiiillion). The tracks get 65% of that, 25% goes to the purses and Nascar gets 10%. The deal goes for 3 more years. With todays business model, they may be the next Netflix. That is how the market is now, that is how to reach fans. It may be stupid, but billions of dollars pay bills. Who knows, maybe they will give these dirt tracks money to show their factory stocks.

Nascar is stepping up to the plate. Marcus Lemonis is certainly doing his part and is giving back to the racers and crews. His Sponsorship has netted him big time and he is giving back. Who said we need fans in the stands? Things are booming man

Marcus Lemonis stepped up to the plate again. This guy is a blessing

Awesome, remain at the dirt track where you feel right at home. Leave the upscale Nascar to me

Marcus Lemonis and his Camping World, has grown to be one of Nascars largest supporter. He is helping left and right and even was pimping for help for Texas over the past few days. He solicited vendors for water and also helped Grant Enfingers sponsor, (Champion Generator) out by ordering an ungodly number of Generators to be delivered to his stores in Texas. This may help Grant sell more races since he is only scheduled to run a partial season. In addition to countless added cash prizes for crew members, he also helped Kyle Busch establish distribution of his Rowdy Energy drink at all of his Camping World Stores. This guy can pimp products man, he is a genius

Yea, he runs well used parts. Hopefully some of this new blood coming in may acquire a few of his charters. Things are booming in Nascar, no need in running garbage cars. The show is for TV, they look good, but pure junk

The price gougers are out there because there are too many people that do not plan for the worst. Most everything was readily available prior to this very predictable blizzard that blew in. We were good to go for a couple of weeks without Elect or water. We were lucky enough to help many neighbors 9for free) who didnt plan well. Water and firewood were at a Premium later. The huge cases of baby wipes were also very popular.

99% of the cup drivers bring money to the table. The only question is who did not? We were drunk back in the day and believed talent was the ticket. Who cares if it is Daddy's money or XYZ corp money? Bring the cash., It is good for the sport

The triple header is going to be a huge event. This is going to be a huge shot in the arm for racing in Texas. I just hope the Media stays away from downtown Austin and does not expose the "Keep Austin Weird" group to the world.

That is awesome. The Marketing department at our company has submitted a package to management for the event that will be mid 6 figures. It includes television/radio ads, a block of hotel rooms, charter transportation, event tent, suite tickets and a few other items to promote our product. This will be a huge event

That has been going on for as long as I can remember and it will probably never change. Maybe the tracks could require six pistol calipers!!!!

who is vettel? Is that a Nascart driver?

That same noose or garage door pulldown was there last year when Paul Menard was in that stall. Why no FBI or Media explosion then?

You cant blame Nascar. Today, everyone is over sensitive and they react in protest to anything. Nascar had to do what they did to cover their tails. That noose that was a rope to pull the garage door down had been there since last year. With the current environment, someone reported it as a potential racist threat or hate crime. Nascar had to do what they did cover their tails. This one was not quite a Smollett case, but close. Whoever reported it should be ashamed. What a waste of resources investigating that.

What bothers me is that Tebow could not take a knee for Christians, the confederate flag was taken away not allowing for southern heritage, history and standing up for states rights, but others get to clearly display their heritage freely. The sad part is kids are being programed in school to do what they are doing today in the streets, Ghetto Civil war.

I have an opinion. It is not a racist flag. It is about History. Nascar is doing what is best for them financially. This is nothing more than media exposure for Nascar and Bubba Wallace. Those two benefit. So I guess it is a win for them. They just took the souths rights away. This is just the way it is. Things are changing, lets just pray for the good

Holy Toledo, racing on the abrasive surface at Atlanta is so fun to watch. Put on new feel goods and you are a hero for a few laps. Tire strategy is huge there. That was awesome. The kid from Central Texas Speedway has 3 top 20's in a row for an underfunded Mike Harmon. I am sure they are eating well at Applebees today. How about the new windshields on the Indycars. They look pretty cool. Only 2 more days until Martinsville. Way to put on a show without fans Nascar.

The cup series is coming to Nashville Super Speedway. Getting rid of one Dover race and going there instead. I cant wait, this is going to be fun
