Correct. at probably 220 mph.

His new one where he works on the El Camino is pretty good, Roadkill is his full time job now. He does some special contributions to Roadkill magazine, but to my knowledge he doesn’t write for Hot Rod anymore. He uses these to fill time.

My biggest question on this is why they didn’t wave cars around and get everybody on the lead lap, or reset everyone to the lead lap after every segment. If the rules aren’t working NASCAR likes to act like they don’t have the power to change them, but they do.

When I worked at a tire shop a coworker was seating the bead on used tire and blew the sidewall out at about 65 psi. I was deaf in one ear for several hours.

I’m not sure if Goodyear is bringing the tires they’ll use for the 600 or tires just for the All Star Race, but they could make tires that would fall off that badly. I agree. Maybe 20 laps, but 13 means they have to pass a car per lap. Which is great and exciting in theory, but maybe not realistic.

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.
