That was a great show man, Mr Braden is a very nice guy and that chick promoting HMP is full of energy with a great spirit

She may not be as hot as Danica, but she is already better than her on the track.

Ford is now backing Hailie Deegan. I am glad they are backing someone in the sport, but I think there are better choices. But, she is probably the most marketable one. After all, it is about the money, not wins. She will tear some stuff up for sure. David Gilliland will have job security building stuff for her

Very strange that it came out. I wonder why the fuel leaked out?

After a little looking, it is not difficult to spend $45,000 on a sport mod. I talked to one guy who had $20,000 in a factory stock. Economy is booming man. The Snowball derby was full of Fury and Rowdy cars. Those bad boys are $100,000 each tricked out. There is a used one for $75,000 on racing junk. WOW Not many Port City cars out there any longer.

That is what I heard too. I was thinking that they are getting more like $35,000 and up for a turnkey sport mod. Now, lets start adding exotic metals and nice transmissions to these boys and we can get them over $40,000 by start of the season.

I see used ones priced more than that.

So are the Sport Mods are up to $30,000 now for a good new one?

That is awesome, I am sure that is not the reason he won, but if he had 50 of these reasons on his car, he had an advantage. They all add up. If you aint cheatin, you aint winning at this level.

Jake Garcia, this 14 year old kid is very impressive. Just think what we were doing at 14 years old.

Now the sport mods will start putting titanium brake parts. LOL I see that class costing as much as a late model soon

The PFC brakes guys took off and went to PRI but dropped a dime on Nasse before he left.

Two other Texas cars running up front took each other out

Cool thread man, we can figure out other ways to cheat now.

That deal with Bickle and Hocevar was identical to two guys earlier this year at Five Flags Speedway in the very same spot. At some point, enough is enough and when they come across your nose, you just dont lift. That is what the fans love to watch, the drama of metal crunching and tempers flaring.

It looks like about 10 more Super Late Models than last year, but I think this is the best field ever. The last chance race is an all star race. Whats up with these guys doing these slide jobs and expecting someone to lift? Bickle expected the kid to lift but he didnt. I dont think I would have lifted either.

Eventful first night of racing. The top 2 trucks got dq'd for motors and the 3rd place guy too much left side. Awesome man, I wonder how many didnt get caught because they were not up front? I'll bet they were not the only two motor cheaters.

The point is, the number up until this point are slightly higher than last year and a large amount less than 2017 . On Facebook, they all blamed the live pit stops for not coming last year. Not a lot of difference so far and way behind 2017. What I am saying is, there is lots of racing on Facebook that never happens. They are all fast on Facebook. For only a couple more cars, i would rather see the live pit stops. Now if it were to get the car count back in the upper 60's, I can understand not having them.

I found it somewhere. There were 54 entries and 47 took qualifying times last year. Lets see how it plays out. On Facebook, they all say they would go if they did away with the stops.

The Snowball Derby did away with live pits stops and it appears that there will be less cars entering. The number that qualified and the current entry number are identical now. A there are usually a few less than the number that pre entered. It is difficult to say if this helped or hurt things. It does take an element out of the race that everyone enjoys. There may have been less entries if they did not do away with it, who knows, but thought that it was interesting that there were not more cars entered. I like the live pit stops but would not like having to pay for them. LOL But you do see many teams use their own guys. Ty Majeski would probably have at least two wins without live stops.

I think they run them at five flags speedway,

Dirt is for the parking lot, the pavement is for hauling balz

Yes, the tracks that were built during the peak popularity of Nascar over built. Those tracks with over 100,000 seats look empty when they are half full. I think you will see others following the trend of removing seats. They cost money to keep and market. Believe it or not, the races are really for TV anyways. So a little cleaning up of the extra seats will make things look even better. As far as the on track situation, it has been great for the most part and doesnt need any major changes, maybe small tweaks at the short tracks.

Kyle Busch.....2019 Champ Kevin Harvick.....drives a ford Denny Hamlin........too much tape Martin Truex.......wrong tires

Yes sir. Toyota won 19 of the races this year. That is one more than the record of 18 Hendrick had in a year. But, there were 4 manufacturers then I believe.
