Unfortunately it's starting to look like Andy Hillenberg's dream may be fading. As I mentioned in my reply, they cancelled a bunch of races that were all supposed to be held in November. It could be one thing, or it could be that the track is closing. To be honest, it was probably more profitable to run as a test…

Not a problem, it's fun when I can share what is usually labelled as "useless trivia" sitting around in my brain, haha.

1. Well yes, that makes sense, and people have been going to all the Nationwide road course races that have been added. Except the problem is that NASCAR's ISC and opposite corporation SMI own a large majority of race dates for the Cup series. Whoops, by race dates I meant race tracks. Unless NASCAR decides to…

Ironically, the fuel then tires rules is a way to reduce the chance of a fire on pit road.

Robbie Gordon's Stadium Super Trucks have two more nights of racing at the Sand Sports Super Show in Costa Mesa, CA. There were only 9 drivers racing on Night one...not sure if any more will be running the other two nights. All three nights of racing will be aired at some point on NBC Sports Network.

First a skid plate race, but next, we need to get you to do a trailer race:

To be honest, they probably are...but their sponsors...and the tech line? We'll see...

After trying to explain all of this the past week...all that comes to mind is the one thing that NASCAR always tells drivers, and reminded them before Richmond, specifically on manipulating race results.

"Don't put us in the position to make a call, you may not like what comes out of it."

Look, I'm a Gordon fan, and I'm…

While I don't necessarily agree or disagree with you on that, the problem is that teams do this all the time early in races. Swap in and out of the lead for bonus points, or maybe before a caution that NASCAR had previously announced to line up better for a restart.

However, it doesn't happen much at the end of races.…

I am a Gordon fan, and I don't disagree with you one bit on this. If he had run better, or not had one of his five DNF's, it's not even a question (prior to day, I suppose...)

Midvale Speedway, near New Philadelphia and Dover Ohio.

If Gordon had knocked Logano out of the Top 10, Joey Logano would have ended up finishing ahead of Martin Truex Jr. in points. They both have one win, but Logano would have finished higher. And if Newman had won the race, Newman would have had more points, and therefore the tie-breaker to beat Truex Jr. for a wild…

To clarify...

While Bowyer's spin was obvious, NASCAR ruled it as "inconclusive", saying there wasn't enough evidence that he spun on purpose.

I shared this last time it came up, but I felt like sharing it again. Probably one of the more fun things I've captured with my Go pro cameras. The track just had another one, and I wasn't there for it, which I was kind of sad about.

Actually, NASCAR deemed that Bowyer's spin was "inconclusive" and the penalties were actually based on Ty Norris orders to Brian Vickers. Big difference there.

Also, officially, the points penalties are pre-chase, so Bowyer will maintain his point total going into the chase...

Good comment Dusty.

All of that was very true, was just editorializing on potential options.

I agree with OTE_TheMissile. Crews were having issues turning around trucks. As solid as they were built, I think the drivers beat them up more than expected.

The other thing is that I do think they might have bit off more than they could chew by jumping straight into big stadiums. While they have a good Street Team…

Jalopnik iRacing League? Anybody? Buehler?

Her Hard Card. She has to sign up for a "Hot Pass" to get to be on pit road during NASCAR top-level touring series races.

Essentially, she had her Hot Pass revoked, and NASCAR will decide when she will, if ever, get to be allowed to hold one again. The fine is probably to be paid if she ever wants to get her Hard…

Yea I just remember seeing all the TecPro barriers, so I figured that was the "New Hotness" for F1. Just figured it was good ole concrete behind the TecPro barriers, but Armco makes sense.
