What a complete jerk newman is for the things he said about tony when it was him that kept running into tony & expect him to just take it & to say some of the most disrespectful things i think i have ever heard!

Calling tony bipolar? Seriously? what the hell is your problem? He brought you into his organization from it's inception & that is how you are gonna talk about him? Maybe you have a problem with being let go? I don't know, but things he said & how he conducted himself, were completely out of line & to see tony take the high road when told what newman said about him...that just made newman look all the more of a jerk!

Thanks for posting all the pictures, AZ. Love the ones when they were kids.


Just finished watching the truck race. I'm basically a pacifist. I break up fights between dogs, people and ducks. But...Nemechek deserved that tackle. And we should sign Custer for the D.

Love the throw-back schemes and the stories that go with them. There's an Orange Crush car.

DALE EARNHARDT JR. TO MISS REST OF 2016 SEASON

"I wish I could return to the No. 88 team this season," Earnhardt said in a release provided by the team. "To say I'm disappointed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel, but I know this is the right thing for my long-term health and career. I'm 100 percent focused on my recovery, and I will continue to follow everything the doctors tell me. They're seeing good progress in my test results, and I’m feeling that progress physically. I plan to be healthy and ready to compete at Daytona in February. I’m working toward that."

That's too bad. But he's doing the right thing.

Some of it was his own fault. I remember mumbling, man you have to stop hitting the wall. Some of it was not his doing.

I think some of the teams try experimenting once they're in the Chase. I thought that's what Jimmie did, but last year it continued into the Chase.

I would love to see Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, Tony and Truex at Homestead.

Some things I just read. Larson is the 27th driver to win in all 3 series. And he's the first graduate of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity to win a Cup race.

Thanks Peanut !
Kyle also is a product of the NASCAR NEXT initiative.

Kyle is an amazing young man; hope he reaches his full potential.
Also, NASCAR's Diversity Intern Program (NDIP) offers opportunities to bright young men and women.
Kudos to all the donors and sponsors !!

It was nice to see him finally get that win & get the monkey off his back, because he could have won at least a half dozen times or more.

Not sure what he heck was up with tony today... had been running really strong the last couple months but just wasn't good at all today. this package seems like it's tough to pass...seemed like most positions never changed much through the race.

Congrats to Amber Balcaen from The 'Peg, who became the first Canadian woman to win a NASCAR sanctioned event this weekend....in Radford, Virginia. This 24 year old did us proud! Not sure where this takes her, but I guess all that winter driving paid off!!!

Congrats to Kyle Larson and team!

His first Cup win and he's thinking of Bryan Clauson and family. One of the reasons I really like him.
