The ATX track looks pretty bland compared to some of the other tracks out there, but those were built by unimaginably wealthy people.

Just another reason to avoid NASCAR. The pandering they make to the ignorant rednecks of "Jr. Nation" has driven off the demographics they really should be chasing.

Back in the late-80's/early-90's I used to attend a bunch of races each year - both Talledega races, July 4 at Daytona, night race at Bristol, and Charlotte Fall race. The racing was hard, the intensity sincere, and the competitors real. Probably the best media coverage ever with Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons.

As it's popularity grew, no doubt fueled by the implosion of Indy car racing with the creation of the IRL, it just got stupid. Ignorant (literally) announcers and "fan" shows, over exposure, and staged racing - green/white/checker, "debris" yellows, and "Boys have at it". In other wortds, the red necks run the sport. It's basically wrestling on wheels.

Sad situation. Big Bill France Sr. is lying face down in his grave right now.

I'm a Gordon fan and even attended his first Cup race at Atlanta in '92 where Richard Petty raced for the final time. Gordon has been a great champion, but it may be time for him to retire. As far as the events of last Sunday, he should have been suspended for at least five races. Yeah I know, that includes Daytona next year. Tough sh#t.

When drivers become so distraught that they intentionally wreck another drver like what happened last weekend, or worse with Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski two years ago, it's time to park their butts for a while.

I was at Talledega in 1987 when Bobby Allison went into the catch fence. What if Brad Keselowski had gone into the crowd? GAME OVER for oval racing in the U.S.

Don't believe me? Google LeMans 1955. If something remotely close to that were to happen today, it would kill oval racing. Mercedes withdrew from motor racing for 30 years because of the 1955 LeMans race. You think GM or Ford would remain if one of their cars took out a row of fans in the grandstand?

Rant over!

Don't be too jelly... I'm not even going (in fact, I live on the opposite side of town, and I am going to stay there to avoid the mess that is going to be downtown Austin this weekend). I've got a buddy who got free access to Pit Lane by volunteering to usher people in/out of the grandstands. If I had thought of that, I definitely would have.

There was a serious incident happened on the past weekend involving Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano.

The on-track crash led to a track-side fight between Gordon and Bowyer....

That incident was bad.... Gordon intentionally tap the tail of Bowyer's car thus ignite a series of collisions eventually victimized the innocent Logano and some others.....

The incident sends a very bad message to the public already, especially to the young drivers....

To make things worse.... the race winner Kevin Harvick said the following:

(Kevin Harvick joked when asked about the incident, saying NASCAR has a history for such clashes being part of what the sport is.

"The sport was made on fights," said Harvick. "We should have more fights. I like fights. They're not always fun to be in. Sometimes you're on the wrong end. But fights are what made NASCAR what it is.")

I can't believe a professional race car driver would say those non-sense.....

One driver intentionally crash into another, then they start a fight trackside, then the race winner tells the public NASCAR is made for having fights and they should have more fights.....

I don't watch NASCAR, and why would I................

Is this spam? Why do I feel like I just read a spam post?

Wish I was there. It should be a good race to watch.

The only Nascar driver worth a damn is Ricky Bobby anyway!

Morning all, it's colder than a witches titty here.
