Led a lap!

"NASCAR overtime is not pure and bad." I beg of you to review the implementation and subsequent adjustments to double wide restarts. Delete overtime and watch the same dumb race destructive restart happen with 6 to go instead of 2. Forest from the trees, folks.

At least two people had to decide to take SRX to Long Beach on iRacing. Maliciously delicious decision making.

In Mexico, I asked Lewis Hamilton about what pet ownership taught him about himself. A simple question... but one with a LOT of baggage in the #F1 paddock. This is your sign to ask your questions, no matter what others think. open.substack.com/pub/deadlypa...

Oh no, Jesshill's hair is headed for the Briscoe County line doin' 95.

In the process of travelling and immigrating to America over the past ten years at no point in time has anyone I've ever met had a good thing to say about Andrew Cuomo. What a fools errand of a campaign.

I didn't think there could be something more funny than the lawsuit developments but here we are.

“NASCAR has done nothing anticompetitive in building the sport from the ground up since 1948.” is funny when so many “longing for the old days” stories involve someone saying “Back in the day Big Bill would pull out a gun and say ‘This is how it’s gonna be’”

I'm more aggravated by this than the Hamlin fuckery.

Not if you put a gun to my head, Bob.

I can turn a Denny Hamlin 2025 story into how NASCAR is like the casino but you gotta pay my freelance rate.

@jrmotorsports.bsky.social this bottle got opened a lot this year. thanks for the memories.

People Magazine just announced their 2025 “Sexiest Man Alive”:

It's weird NASCAR is gonna go from being a Weekends Only thing to a M-F 9-5 thing here until the end of the year. More timing for grilling, like Philly said.

I think a big portion of the problem with narrative and storytelling in NASCAR is we just do not utilize folks properly when it comes to the biggest opportunity to drive those into the ears and minds of fans.

Poaching Brian Barnhart to work with Jay Frye is some real IRL behavior

A lot of folks are feeling a little jaded about the NASCAR finale, but I don't think it's because of the Playoffs. It's because the narrative stinks. deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/nascar-doe...

I think he likes the boos too much but come Daytona they'll have turned to cheers. What's another 70 weeks?

The guilt tripping of NASCAR is so bad they should've changed the format this morning.

TRD? More like TBD (if they will finish)!

What do you mean the best car over 25 laps in practice is closing on the third best car over 25 laps in practice? That's crazy, Jeff.

That pre-race show reeked of desperation to be recognized like other sports by other sports personalities. But also here's everyone's kids. We know you love a family.

It's not rigged. I don't know why you'd say that.

It is illegal to smoke in the Skydome. Send the bylaw enforcement officer into that locker room.

The worst part about all of this is she was a one trick pony. This moneyball team just got a billion times more expensive to retain. And everyone and their brother is headed to the minors to find the next Trey Yesavage.

Let me tell you a story about the Jays. Sometime in the early 2000s. Delgado wasn't totally washed yet. Jays lead KC by 8, 9-1. 9th inning KC drills 9 in to win 10-9. That was my first major league game. This was so much more easy to swallow.

Stop trying to pin the Blue Jays on Drake. He doesn’t get that. Just the Raptors.

No it wasn't, Dale. But I appreciate you being a big boy about this. No one actually wants a 36 week championship.

So when the Championship 4 are set at Martinsville they still go to a final race where the four compete for a championship. You don't have to win the race to win the Championship. Also there's an Owners Championship.

We're either gonna be in the outhouse or the penthouse after this. There's a nice cigar waiting in the penthouse.

Carson Hocevar has the chance to do the funniest thing imaginable.

If they looked any different I'd be concerned.

What I love so much about the Poulin jersey is it's strictly for *us*, it needs no explanation to the average Canadian sports fan but Fox is gonna need a two-paragraph explanation where they pronounce her name wrong. Vladdy just organically understands the moment.

RFK running the Ford Hypercar is exactly the kind of thing NASCAR wants to hear this week. But it would also be rad AF.

Brent Crews can drive a car but that boy is dumb as all hell.

"Hey, Cliff. Did you handle that press availability yet?" "Yeah, Chad. Told em we hope we hit the wall in practice just like you said."

Girl what

Show me a hero.

Game 6 of the World Series as a Game Seven NASCAR Trucks Moment happens is dumb as hell.

You know what I want? A NASCAR booth at the club. Mobil 1 needs a hype pit. Put hospitality in the action. They're all riding the same bus from the same hotel.

We asked Goodyear to make the tire more susceptible to wear and damage and then act surprised when running 7lbs in the LR doesn't work.

The power going out during coffee #2 is really bad because everyone knows what comes from coffee #2 and that's not easy to do in the dark.

Driver trades in auto racing is the most insane take I've ever heard. It's the absolute fastest way to being able to fix auto races like wrestling matches to the point I believe it could happen. This is the kinda take someone makes after their first PBR Rodeo. Is that what happened?

Tell that to VARC Driver @elizablackstock.bsky.social, bub.

I HATE THIS AND ALL MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALLS

The new Monster season on Netflix is good. Charlie Hunnam is fantastic as always. The rest of the cast also delivers great performances. Folks might just be mad someone else can do Ryan Murphy's schtick as well as he used to.

Timeline poetry.

That Grid Sticker Lyfe.

Thanks a lot, Tommy France.
