This year has taken too much from us. And it’s not done, I fear.

How many times has Busch pulled a bump-and-run on another driver?

Let’s put the blame on this fiasco where it belongs. First, the Robertson family who believe that sponsoring a race allows you to show off your inbreeding and unwavering intolerance. And then, TMS’s Eddie Gossage, who has never seen a sponsor he wouldn’t take money from.

Brian France has the right to support whomever he wants to. And I have the right to stop patronizing his races because I’d rather not give money to someone supporting that man.

Joe Amato retired from Top Fuel due to a retina detachment. The deceleration of these cars is that violent.

“Uh oh!” Words you don’t want to hear out of your mechanic’s mouth.

With the loss of PDVSA money, Renault is probably not too happy right now. Having to take on Lotus’ debits, bring a new car up to speed, and now do some last-minute sponsor hunting will mean some sleepless nights in Enstone...

Yep.

So, I can skip all the “regular season” races, and the play off rounds, and just watch the last race? Because it’s the only one that matters, right?

Hate rat rods, hate drifters. But I’ll admit that this is just brilliant.

That’s lovely. There’s a nice Norwegian named Solberg who looks forward to showing him what he can do with his Hoonigan BS.

She did something that too many of her contemporaries were unable to do. She lived to an old an presumably happy age. Perhaps now she and Fangio can see just how fast she can make a Maserati go on the streets of Heaven...

Some say he haunts an abandoned hangar at an aerodrome in Dunsfold. And late at night, on a full moon, you can hear the sounds of a Pagani Zonda screaming around the runways-but there’s nothing there . . .

Two stories, one happy, one not.

In a post-Fargo and True Detective world, it’d be easier to convince a studio to do series with changing casts while holding onto a couple of central characters in the story arcs.

I saw the Kuwaiti 747 at Dallas Love Field two weeks ago, and every time I pass by there it’s still parked out there.

Congrats, you just won The Stupidest Comment On Jalopnik Today Award!

And Kurt Bush finished third, despite stopping for a flat tire early in the race. Harvick’s team should have called him in, and Johnson should have let Harvick go when he realised he wasn’t going to let him go by.

They can’t confiscate the car; he owns it. But I imagine he won’t be invited to purchase any limited edition cars again. And I bet there’s a clause in the LaFerrari warranty about damage caused by racing that will void it.

Considering how protective Ferrari is of their brand, they probably have a “Don’t Sell” list somewhere with a new name on it. And a LaFerrari has a voided warranty, too.
