Headed to Michigan for the August race. If anybody is up that way, we will be in campground M-50. Look for the big Texas flag on rows 6-7. I'll buy you a beer....or two.

I will be at All Star Race this weekend, and depending, may try to pull off the double header Saturday

Will also be at the All Star race. Got my tickets through this promotion. Says while supplies last, but as of last night, Frisco had vouchers available

Fox racing analyst Jeff Gordon is reportedly considering leaving the broadcast booth for a role with Hendrick Motorsports https://t.co/TalAQ5ZnGd pic.twitter.com/xm4k3hejQU

Gordon does a great job in the booth. I enjoy Fox's broadcasts.

He rumored to takeover as head of HMS eventually.

I might be making it up in my head but I get the feeling that Bowyer gets on his nerves over the course of 3-4 hours.

Jeff and Bowyer are great friends, which was what made the crazy wreck and fight in Phoenix so shocking at the time. I don't think he's annoyed at all.

Rick has treated him like a son for decades now and I think Jeff is going to lead the organization in the future.


Edit - missed TRM stating the same a couple posts up.

I think Hendrick came out and said he was during an interview last season.

Fox All-Star Race intro channels Ricky Bobby, "if you're not first, you might as well be last."

Not sure what it was like on TV but it was a very entertaining race live. Probably one of the better Texas races lately.

Cup returns to Nashville and NBC/NBCSN this weekend.

Top 11 are pretty much locked in. Anyone outside the cut line makes it in? I say Kurt wins his way in. Will Denny and Kevin win?

I'll be going to Talladega in October and am super excited about it! Anybody been before and have advice on where to sit? TIA

NBC broadcast already infinitely better than Fox.

Plus, barring a miracle performance from someone else, Larson looks like he is well on his way to win again.

As Bill France would have said "you're stinking up my show"

Larson wins again, this is getting a bit boring.

Was impressed with Ross Chastain today. Really strong showing for the 2nd place finish.

This season is just turning in to the Kyle Larson show

Hendrick cars + Larson talent is an incredible combination.

As was discussed a couple of pages ago...

How unfortunate for Larson. Cut a tire on last turn.

Wowowow.

Even before the tire went down that was one of the most exciting Pocono races I've ever watched. Pocono usually is boring. The pj1 they laid on the track helped.

Larson in the final 15 laps to take the lead was a master class in racing. Shame he wasn't able to get the W but that's the way it goes.

Heck of a race

Kyle Busch wins without a clutch and stuck in 4th gear.

I know I wasn't the only one thinking back to Days of Thunder

"The linkage is all twisted!"
"Just give him the high gear!"

Wow...Chip Ganassi sells his entire team...

https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/id/31738999/chip-ganassi-sells-entire-nascar-team-trackhouse-racing

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Chip Ganassi has sold his NASCAR team to Justin Marks, owner of Trackhouse Racing, and will pull out of the nation's top stock car series at the end of this season.

Ganassi fields two cars in the Cup Series but will transfer his North Carolina race shop and all its assets to Marks for 2022.

"He made me a great offer that required my attention," Ganassi told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

"I'm not out of racing, I'm just out of NASCAR," Ganassi said. "I still have an IndyCar team. I still have an IMSA sports car team. I still have a Formula E team. I had an offer that I was required to consider."

Pitbull money spends well

Very interesting after Trackhouse said they'd build in Nashville.

that's fantastic

Hope we don't put it in reverse today, have a safe n happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Really hope NASCAR doesn't continue with these dirt races. I know it's a throwback to the past but these cars/trucks aren't made for this.

Truck race has turned into a massive demolition derby here at the end.

Any idea what the odd penalty was for? My 8 year old son is watching the end on DVR right now and doesn't know what it was for.

Kurt Busch punches his ticket to the chase.

That was a fantastic final 30 laps and love seeing a team work for a win.

Good race and finish today. Now for all the wailing and gnashing of teeth as the repair and reconfiguration takes place.
