    Yeah, I misspoke that Bowman had fractured vertebrae... he had a concussion after a crash at Texas in 2022. Kurt Busch pretty much ended his career with a concussion at Pocono. Nascar did make some changes, but apparently that's not enough to protect the drivers. This car sucks in so many ways...

    Dover race thread...

    Don't get me started on how awful this new car is! The NextGen car is a LOT more rigid than previous cars so they don't crush as much. Crushing absorbs some of the energy of a crash so the driver doesn't get the full impact. Bowman was out with fractured vertebra and now Jones. Supposedly they...

    I'm thinking he expected other cars to pit but they didn't. Passing was so difficult he couldn't do much even with new tires.

    Phoenix race thread...

    It's pretty obvious that this car was engineered to race well on intermediate tracks. Nascar basically turned their backs on the bread and butter short tracks and now they're trying little "tweaks" to make it better. I agree about parity being overrated. Mid-race at Phoenix I looked at the lap...

    I'll tell you one thing... I won't be picking Logano again until I see his team put a decent car under him. How could he be fastest in practice and so awful in the race? Nemechek taking him out was a mercy killing.

    What the heck could be wrong with Logano's gloves?

    Daytona race thread

    In these Super Speedway races everything is random. Even if a driver has a skill set that fits this kind of racing he can still get caught up in a Big One and be done. My philosophy is to pick decent drivers in A, throwaway drivers in B and C (ones I won't miss later on in the season). Getting a...

    From Nascar's website: What about practice and qualifying? Prime Video and TNT Sports have the exclusive rights to practice and qualifying sessions for the entire Cup Series schedule through 2031. Prime Video will stream practice and qualifying live from the start of the season through Prime...

    So the media rights deal has been released for the 2025 season and beyond and for me, it contains positives and negatives. I like that all of the Xfinity races will be on one channel - CW. I don't like that 5 Cup races in the Summer will be streamed on Prime Video exclusively. What I really...

    Best I can find out is that the Nascar Awards Ceremony will be broadcast delayed on Peacock, Sunday at 7pm. I don't get Peacock so guess I'm out of luck. First year I can remember that I haven't been able to watch or at least record it for later viewing. What a shame that USA couldn't show the...

    Sad news that Ken Squier passed away. He set the standard for race commentary. https://www.jayski.com/2023/11/16/ken-squier-enters-hospice-care/?fbclid=IwAR2cNXR-y5Bh5C9bvEhh4pWjOXP2mcKgqG2N85iULA8mcZvb52gxYw0151I

    Championship race at Phoenix thread...

    Well, there you have it folks. The 2023 season comes to an end. I'm happy for Blaney winning the Championship. Sad for Chastain to have won the race and be overshadowed by the Championship festivities. At least they talked to him but they totally missed the watermelon smash!

    Do we know that Keselowski is on his way or back at Phoenix for sure? I've been digging around Twitter and couldn't find anything.

    Martinsville race thread...

    The entire team screwed up... even the driver! I used my last Truex start today and was glad to see him at least finish 12th.

    Charlotte Roval race thread...

    Hailie did well in ARCA with 3 wins but no wins in Trucks. She has managed only a handful of top 10s in the last 3 years. Last year she made her debut in Xfinity and grabbed 13th at Las Vegas. Trucks drive very differently than cars so the hope is that she'll do better in an Xfinity car. Fans...
