Tim Richmond, Jack Hewitt and if you would like to expand beyond drivers to “prominent motorsports figures" then pencil in Smokey Yunick for the next 6 months.

Your headline says “illegal immigrants” and the first sentence of your story states “every immigrant”

Ahh, but Regan WAS good enough to beat him. At least that is what the box score says.

No story change at all.....if you are running in the middle of the field you are a mid-pack racer....yes both of them. There is a difference in that Regan can and has won a Cup race with medicore equipment and the Dillon kid has much more equipment than skills.

Regan went for the win in a calculated move that didn’t…

I do not understand why he was hoping for rain. If Lally cannot purchase a third set of dry tires, how would he be able to buy rain tires?

They were racing mid-pack at the time the Dillon kid ran into the side of Smith. THey were not racing for the win on the last corner of the last lap. Another big difference is that Smith did not wreck Tags, he just moved him. Last corner, last lap, all is fair, if you don’t try then you don’t need to be driving a…

major difference between tapping a guy that pushed wide on the last corner and going for the win and a mid pack driver running into the side of your car half way through the race.

Maybe that is why ticket sales and TV ratings for road racing lag far behind that of a NASCAR support series?

Is Tagliani the one who got his nose broke at this race last year by another driver’s girlfriend? And didn’t he also get into it with one of the Dillion sisters at the same track a few years ago?

Big difference in that one was for the win in the last corner of the race and the other wasn’t

It wasn’t a rub. It was a punt. Big difference.

Both Dillon sisters are silver spooned POS’s. They have zero respect for anyone. PaPa has given them everything and always will. It wouldn’t hurt either one of them to walk around in public for a few weeks with a broken nose

Correct. I think we both would like to know what numerical threshold was present to understand what the DAs definition of “impaired” is. Some think .000001 nanograms is “impaired” others (like me) think that the level is quite a bit higher.

I don’t think so. Getting a “little” high can be a focusing tool that can increase performance. It does not surprise me one bit that he was competitive while under the influence. The problem was that the DA did not quantify what he/she believes to be an “impairing amount”. Most who smoke pot get mellow, but in the…

He is considering the 2016 Indy 500. I bet he would be allowed to do donuts on the bricks by fans and speedway officials alike if the occasion arises (who would be able to stop him thru all the tears of happiness?), but I suspect that he would respect the brickyard much more than the Vegas trash that desecrated the…

No thanks, I had half of a deca-dose Cheba Chew and a few puffs and it was NOT fun. I can understand the potential to "freak out" on edibles, but not smoking alone.

Or just drive to Colorado where the medical card allows for lower prices and no taxes, but everything is available retail.

I am certainly glad that everyone now understands what happened. Last year about this time almost everybody that posted on here called Smoke a murderer and worse. Amazing how people can be swayed by inflammatory headlines and just plain bullshit.

Although I fully believe that the person responsible was the one that…

As a big fan of both the winged and wingless sprints, I get kinda pissed at every TV announcer or fan that refers to the NASCAR variety as a “sprint car”. Real race cars do not have doors, or windshields, or clutch/transmissions, or starters. ;)

That is not a sprint car, it is a Sprint CUP car.

This is a sprint car.

Fully agree, especially about the pointless revving....it takes no more than a quick throttle blip to clean out a carb that is loaded up from idling and if you have FI there is no excuse. I appreciate loud pipes (and their locating properties) on motorcycles whether I am in a car or on my bike. OK, maybe not sport…
