Hate to hear that. They don’t make men like that anymore.

I had almost forgotten that there is a race this evening. Apparently they had qualifying heats yesterday.

I hate to hear that about Cale . He has lived a heck of a life and will be remembered for generations.

Agreed. She sounds like the female Lou Holtz with her lisp.

I'd rather have Bristol raced on the pavement instead of the mud. This is a gimmick. Also, the prayer should have been more ecumenical. Yeah keep it Christian but why pray for cops and first responders when it's about the Resurrection.

Nascar is Dead! There is no gimmick that will fix it they are chasing their asses. Short tracks Saturday nights and fist fights that’s what will bring people back!

These dirt races always seem like such a stupid gimmick to me. By a few laps in, the dirt has been eroded down to the asphalt so the only element of dirt racing is some dust.

I remember when is ticket to Bristol was just about impossible to get . My wife and I went for an anniversary trip several years ago and there were no empty seats . This type of racing on Easter Sunday will not help with attendance or ratings.
They used to take off on Easter and Mothers Day. No more I guess.

Wasn’t a very good replay of that Hamlin/Berry wreck.

It’s rubber that’s layed down from tire wear off

Larson mad at Preece. He better keep that on the racetrack.

If they want to have a dirt race, then schedule a race at a damn dirt track instead of this mess! There are plenty of possibilities.

Steve Waid the great NASCAR journalist just tweeted this:

Conversation with Cale Yarborough, 1979:
Me: "Your thoughts about the Daytona 500 fight with Bobby and Donnie?"
Cale: "Everybody knows that it wasn't a fair fight. Two of them against me."
"That's true."
"Yeah, I should have had one hand tied behind my back!"

Cale is one of those they broke the mold for, if I'm not mistaken he kept racing one time while he was puking in the car, he simply would not hear of a relief driver, ever. Hopefully he can get better and hang around for a while longer.
