Race tracks only get one-year contracts with NASCAR. So it’s just a matter of giving a date to a new track next year if they want.

ISC is owned by the France family. NASCAR is owned by the France family. So, no, NASCAR doesn’t own ISC, but the same people own both. So it is not impossible to believe that NASCAR would be more favorable to using a track owned by ISC over one owned by a rival?

But NASCAR will favor a track the France family owns over an SMI track every time.

I’d never seen a picture of the new stadium until now. And now, it’s the perfect metaphor for a team we’ve known for years were assholes. Thanks, Falcons!

It’ll be a very short interview.

That thing went everywhere but straight.

The fueler was in the wrong place, nearly in the active pit lane. If he’d have been within the pit box the Toyota would have cleared him easily.

Fox Sports Go is a joke. Watched the feed on the Fox Sports website; even with the occasional hiccups it was far better than trying to watch it on DirecTV.

“So, what did you do on your off weekend, Nico?”

Thank you, Debbie Downer

First thing they do? Put a tarp over the windows. Gotta protect the brand...

The fact that that’s also The Hound makes me giddy.

New Orleans has better food, better music, better art, better people and is a place people from all over the world want to visit. The only people who want to visit Calgary are roughnecks and cowboys.

At this rate, Regan Smith will run the entire Cup season as a sub!

NASCAR can grant him a waiver for missing a race; they've already done so for Kurt Bush.

Because nobody knew why he fainted, that's why. Would you want a pilot go get into the cockpit of an airliner if you knew he'd been unconscious the night before and nobody knew why? Or at the controls of an 18-wheeler on the highway?

Zanardi doesn't "cut the chicane completely." First, it's not a chicane. Second, he doesn't cut the turn but is instead on the far inside, two wheels into the dirt. Follow the video from the entry into turn 8 and through 8A and you'll see Zanardi follows the curve of the turn. If he'd tried to straightline it, he'd…

That's Group 44's Grand Prix stock car. They entered a few races after their Jaguar contract ran out, did not do so well, and that was that. Even a Grand Prix looks good in Group 44 livery.

Bourdain didn't abandon No Reservations. His contract came up and he wasn't happy with how Travel Chanel had made it look like he was doing endorsements for products when he wasn't. Zero Point Zero (the production company) shopped a new show around and CNN was looking to add more programing. Bourdain has said that one…

Yes, you can tell who didn't watch the video from the comments. Suckers.
