Even from a purely cultural standpoint it's obnoxious. They've chased down every bit of retarded, mainstream fuckery that there's really no identity of its own left.

From a competition standpoint, NASCAR was just so very different from other mainstream sports. That was part of the appeal, other than the obvious need for potential fans to actually have an interest in motorsport. In my opinion it was probably a big reason it grew so huge to begin with. That's all gone too.

Does no one actually publish Gordon kirby and more so he is resorting to running his own website?

Damn shame

He's on Motor Sport Magazine usually.

I'd say something, but I'll look in the mirror and see my fat self looking just like Tony. I need to drop about 80 or more pounds.

The suits would ruin any chance of this ever happening because it would be awesome.

I would love to see Maldonado and Grosjean in a race at Bristol and Martinsville.

Yeah, I'm afraid to get into iRacing. I'd be afraid of all the money I'd unintelligibly decide to spend buying stuff I need to progress, like tracks, cars, etc. I already have one racing game (Asphalt 8 ) that I'm spending way too much money on with add ons, I don't need a second one. Lol.

At least with Real Racing 3, I was able to download a debugging tool to give myself unlimited money and credits. :lol:

what tool?

SecretAgentHarvick · PostPosted: Thu Oct 29, 2015 4:52 pm

I can't remember now and I upgraded PC's, so I don't have the tool anymore to find it. But basically, it's something you download onto a PC, run the software, and connect your phone/tablet to it and change whatever you want to change stats Wise.

Also, if you try to find one of these debugging tools, be VERY careful as a lot of them are fake and do contain malware.

Yeeeeahhhh.... I'll pass

looks like Christopher Bell will race for KBM full time next season, Byron and Coughlin expected to race part time

AM Racing has been formed, will field 1 full time Truck Series team next year with options to expand to a 2 truck team. The team will run Toyota's with Triad motors. (gotta a feeling this is the team Austin Wayne Self will drive for next year.)

Imagine the ratings when Jooyner retires! NASCAR needs to somehow make Logano their pin-up guy but I just don't see that coming.

If I were them, I'd market the fuck out of Chase Elliot and Kyle Larson.

The longer Larson remains winless the less I see him as a poster guy. Even NASCAR can't manufacture such a stunt for someone who plain doesn't win races. He ain't Danica FFS :twisted:

Cup teams tested Atlanta today for 2016 tire selection, Almirola fastest in the morning session with a 185.198MPH average (according to Atlanta Motor Speedway twitter) and Kurt Busch fastest in the afternoon session with a 178.518MPH average (according to Dustin Long's twitter)

KBM drivers confirmed (full time: Bell, Byron, part time: Suarez, Coughlin)

Unless Larson leaves Chips team, I don't see a win anytime soon. He is dangerously falling into Logano at JGR status. Sure Larson had some good finishes his rookie year but when have you really seen him take the lead and control of a race?

SBan83 · PostPosted: Fri Oct 30, 2015 8:44 am

Ya, I knew it was not the smartest move for Larson to join Chip's shitty team. His star was high enough to warrant a top team from the outset, I felt.

HMS awaits - Jr, Johnson are both ageing and Kahne is under pressure

ChrisTRD · PostPosted: Fri Oct 30, 2015 6:39 pm

I like Kahne, but it was a mistake for HMS to resign him. I think he would be an ideal fit for a 3rd Penske car. He might thrive there like Joey did when he took over the 22.
