Strange to see F1 headed in that direction when NASCAR just had one of it’s best races of the year due to having very soft tires that degraded quickly. In the race alone at Bristol, the 36 teams went through 1440 tires, and most teams finished their run on cords.

Autonomous driving is VERY easy to implement if you do not concern yourself with pedestrian safety or occupant safety.

Can’t really fault Nascar. There isn’t a 100% legal car in the field, it is the nature, culture, and beauty of the sport. It’s impossible to catch it all ever week.

Yeah, Bradley is incorrect saying there is no rule. There is absolutely a rule.

As for other modifications - The rules for fire suits and gloves was actually updated prior to the 2024 season as well. All logos must be printed, not stitched.

I agree it was creative, and he got away with it for Daytona qualifying.…

The rulebook already specifically states that you 1. Cannot modify certified safety equipment and 2. the fingers of a glove must be detached.
He violated both of these already written rules which is why he is penalized.

Ross’s move was not illegal prior to doing it, so the comparison doesn’t work.

the left hand in the window isn’t used in the race often, it’s mainly used for qualifying. And qualifying up front keeps you out of trouble early in the race. Also, until the race really gets going, it’s hard to say if the temp, track, tire, and aero package how easy it will be to pass. As we saw in the xfinity race…

Such a great Daytona 500. One of the best 500s in recent memory. Not quite as good as the Daytona night race last season but still very fun to watch.

I love Caleb’s show but the one thing that always stands out to me on these is that some financial institution gave this person a loan. How? Why? Who is doing the actuarial work at these places? Even if your goal is to collect a crapload of interest for a few months and then eventually repo it, that repo’d car is…

They mentioned the Xfinity race coming up at 9 multiple times during the broadcast and closed out the broadcast on FOX by telling viewers to tune in to FS1 for the Xfinity series race at 9.

Oddly, FS1 decided to keep airing a rerun of a 2018 poker tournament between 8:30-9:00 instead of showing any of the xfinity setup…

NASCAR did a great job officiating at the end, but FOX really bungled their coverage of the finish. They did a decent job of proving that the leader crossed the line to receive the white flag prior to the caution, but then didn’t show coverage of the position of the cars at the moment the caution lights were triggered…

It is so goddamn easy to back a car with a backup camera. it literally draws the lines. Would people be slow the first few times, sure, but after a couple times they’ll be just as quick as anyone.
The cars I see in the lot over the line or parked at an angle are the ones who parked nose in, and it makes sense. Nose in…

if the Malibu even gets renewed. For now I think they are going to keep running the Camaro through at least 2025.

Martin Truex Jr was the regular season champion, not Willy B. 

If you find it harder to reverse into an empty space, especially in a modern car with a backup cam, you deserve to lose your license. It takes seconds more to back into a spot than pull forward in, and it is EASIER, since you don’t have to swing your front tires wide to get squarely in the space.

Normalize Reverse in parking. Any time backing into a stall is possible you should be backing into a stall.

Agreed. Buying an SUV instead of a minivan when you have 2+ young kids is just plain stupid.
Do you know what is cool AF? Buying a car that perfectly fits your needs.
Do you know what else is extra cool AF? Owning a vehicle that can easily fit a sheet of 4x8 drywall or plywood inside it with no need for roof racks or…

I ordered a pair. They are so stupid I love it. I’m a big NASCAR fan, and trust me, fans are in on the joke. We know they are dumb and ugly, but that’s always been the point of Crocs.

Also, they are being called COTs (Crocs of Tomorrow), in reference to the similarly winged 5th Generation NASCAR “Car of Tomorrow” that…

Missed Spyker:

Who let you write stories about cars? JFC.

You are honestly telling me you feel safe going 65mph on a 65mph road instead of sticking with traffic? Stay in the slow lane nerd, and maybe find a new blog to write for.

And if your answer is that all traffic should be going 65... good luck. The rest of the cars that don’t have the nanny tech are going to be sticking…
