Agreed with the FS1. I was at my gf’s house on Sunday. She cut the cord a few months ago, so I couldn’t watch. I understand trying to boost the ratings on FS1, but I wonder how bad the hit is when they put stuff on their cable channels rather than the network.

I’ve seen boat steering wheels like that, but not in a car....

That’s a great starter bike and you got a deal!

No offense to the writer intended, but there are so many of these articles out there. One of the biggest problems I have with motorcycle journalism is that everybody is posting the same articles. Everybody gets new bikes the same day, so the articles for the new bikes all come out together. Every motorcycle blog/news…

When you hear about a driver saying the track is “a little slick” at the top end, that means that the car is probably spinning the tires through the lights. So a car traveling 320 mph is SPINNING THE TIRES. So yes, the driving on ice at 320 is accurate.

From the interviews I’ve heard and what I’ve tried to pick up watching runs, most of the time if they feel it start to shake the tires or lose traction they’ll try to give it a quick pedal going straight back to WOT. If they don’t catch it and it goes into tire smoke, its generally as gentle of a roll on the throttle…

That would need to be some incredibly strong glue. I’m guessing the hit all the lugs with a torque wrench set at 100 ft lbs.

Andrew,

And not necessarily always a “stomp” during a pedal. The good drivers have mastered the art of easing back into the throttle to get the car to hook back up.

It’s my daily driver and I don’t have any problems. What exactly makes it so bad?

I met my girlfriend on Tinder. We matched, talked for a week, went on a date, and decided to keep going on dates. We’ve been together for over a year. Would I have met her without Tinder? Never. Yes, it’s scary, but the risk is worth it.

Obviously they share equipment (chassis, engines, suspension, people, R&D) but they also share setup notes on race weekends. They work together some during the race (if your teammate is behind you and faster you let him by, etc). However, in a situation like this, Carl knew he could move Kyle without it costing Kyle a…

If you watch the whole race, people were using the bumper off of turn 4 the whole race. Yes, Carl hit him a little hard to make sure he moved him far enough the track, but a bump like that will never cause a driver as good as Kyle Busch to spin. That type of contact was pretty standard all day.

Does this comment need to be in every NASCAR post on Jalopnik? Yes, they’re not the same cars you can buy in the dealership. We know. Some of us still enjoy the racing and would like to discuss it.

Muldowney is a bad ass, plain and simple. She didn’t do it in today’s PC world, but when it was much tougher.

I bet you’re a blast at parties.

Tony is the only owner-driver left in Sprint Cup, so he maybe has the best viewpoint on matters like this. I’m glad to see him speak his mind about it and get it out into the media. $35,000 to make NASCAR take a hard look at the situation probably seems like a good investment to him.

Well, he owns four cars in the series, so I doubt it has anything to do with his retirement. Tony has generally said what he thinks needs saying without a filter.

Also a car owner who doesn’t want to put his drivers in an unsafe situation.

Exactly right. Multi-lug wheels set NASCAR pit stops apart from every other form of motorsport. I don’t think they should change the design, but I do think they need to get all of them tight. I get that it takes more officials to do it, but I don’t think safety is where you should be light on resources.
