February 17Feb 17 I hate the end of these NASCAR races. This shit where they all drive bumper to bumper to bumper is terrible, and then, always with fewer than 10 laps to go we get the big wreck. Hate it.

Wouldn't be that way if there were seperation between the cars. When the cars are pretty much tuned the same this is what happens. 60 car is some kinda fucked up.

He was a big help to me in my early writing career. Lou Blaney was one of the best. Ryan’s dad, Dave, and his uncle Dale, were fantastic Sprint Car drivers. Dave was very successful on the World of Outlaws tour. I knew Ryan, just a bit, when he was a kid. Always was nice.
February 17Feb 17 Like Kyle Busch or not, he's right about Logano. Preece was fucking cleared for takeoff. Wow. That was not good. At all. A 3,300# car, looking like a leaf blowing in the wind. 11 minutes ago, PittsburghTiger said: I hate the end of these NASCAR races.

February 17Feb 17 Blaney finishes 7th, WTF? Damn lucky to get that. Larson must have been dragging an anchor most of the night.

So was Preece, I think that was him, who said after Busch, that they are getting close to someone not walking away from these types of wrecks.
February 17Feb 17 Reddick has raced at our local dirt track, as has Larson. Super fun to see these guys on dirt. Tony Stewart used to come and race too.
February 17Feb 17 Author Well one of my guys finished 2nd, but I won with Willie B. Wish i had put 2K down instead of $20 lol
February 17Feb 17 Blaney’s uncle Dale was a hot shot basketball player at WVU. Ryan’s grandma could never understand that I, as a Pitt guy, would boo the shit out of him when we played WVU. The Blaneys are part owners of Sharon Speedway just across the border into Ohio, one exit in off I-80
February 17Feb 17 Author I just noticed they messed up his name....fuckers prob won't honor it lol. You bet on Willaim not William sir.

February 17Feb 17 The plate races could just as easily be only 25 laps instead 200 and 266 or whatever the fuck Talladega is.

This isn't an F1 vs NASCAR thing for me (and probably not for PoD either, though I won't presume to speak for him). To me, both F1 and NASCAR are fucking it all up. F1 could be very exciting, with great racing. So could NASCAR. But not on the roads they're going down. 53 minutes ago, Prepuce of Doom said: The plate races could just as easily be only 25 laps instead 200 and 266 or whatever the fuck Talladega is. Este.
February 17Feb 17 I've never especially cared for the plate races. That said, I think NASCAR is doing a slightly less bad job at managing the product than F1. However, IndyCar has been spectacular lately, and the other two series aren't even close in my opinion.

They know they aren’t going to get hurt so they just go full send. It’s ruined “plate” racing. I’ll give NASCAR credit for letting them race back to the flag though. Almost felt like the old days.

I agree with your general point, but I bet Ryan Preece would take exception to this mentality! *to an extent - obviously, he's also the poster boy for your argument...

They took what made them popular, watered it down, and here we are. You’re probably not aware, some here are, but I used to have a hard card, and worked at least 30 races a year. Can’t stand to watch it now.

Maybe it was you, maybe it was someone else with an inside scoop, but I remember someone around here (or the old place) making a cryptic promise years ago to drop some juicy intel having to do with why Carl Edwards abruptly retired, but to the best of my recollection, it was never shared. Can you (or whoever that was) please spill the beans? Or at least DM it to me if it's preferable not to leave it out in the open for whatever reason? Edited February 26Feb 26 by Prepuce of Doom

I run into him around town once in a blue moon, which is always nice. I miss a lot of the people, and have a ton of memories, but things change and people move on. As far as the real reason he stepped down? Pretty much what’s out there. I haven’t pressed him (and wouldn’t) for details. But it’s not difficult to put 2&2 together, ya know?
March 1Mar 1 Looks like they're using the second cut-through & not the first. Probably don't want lap time comparisons to other series.
March 1Mar 1 We are going out tmr. Am I crazy to try back ways to park in a free lot. I think N, f or t. I’ll bring cash for a private lot as well. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been out there so I’m sure things have changed. For F1 I used to always come in from the south on a back road and park in a private lot
