    I'm surprised by the love for 3, I thought it was the weakest of the original trilogy.  Simon the stutterer was the nemesis?  Weak.  Should have let the cold hearted killing bitch be Darth Vader.

    wtf is wrong with you?

     

    Oh.   Yeah, right.

  2. And just to put a cap on a fun day of racing......

     

    Plenty of cautions thru out the Coke 600 but MTJ survived his early encounter with the wall to take another win. 

     

    More of the same from Gibbs & Penske, but Hendrick and even Roush are showing signs of life.

  3. Indy GP weekend is here....

     

    some full race broadcasts of Indy 500's on IMS Youtube channel  link

    2011 - 2013 - 2001 - 1985 - 2014 - 2006 - 1987 - 2015 - 2012 - 2008 - 1966 - 1974 - 1989  - 1994

    also a couple of segments of Drive Like Andretti on NBC Sports Youtube channel link

  4. If you're gonna rely on replay and don't want spoilers, you really have to venture into dark territory.  That means no media whatsoever - no TV, radio or internet.  And probably no conversations with friends or family either.  It's a commitment.

  5. My two cents

     

    Tracks that could/should lose their 2nd races - Texas, Kansas, Michigan - maybe even Bristol.  Move their races to short tracks near metro areas with infrastructure that can support events. Nashville would seem to fit the bill - not sure about Rockingham, it's a 1 mile track and didn't work out for the trucks in 2013, but who knows.  Maybe another location outside of the south. Oh, and lower prices at tracks. 
     
    NBC has a lot on it's motorsports plate and Fox seems to be more interested in cutting costs.  Maybe spread the media rights around again to get more media players that will have a stake in Nascar.

    And drama....we can't ask for a better heel than Kyle Busch, we just need a face.  The only one on the roster, or at least in the pipeline, might be Christopher Bell.  He doesn't currently have a place next year at Gibbs/Toyota and he is definitely ready for Cup.  He needs to move to SHR or Penske, for the good of the sport.   

    Note - maybe even Hendrick/Ganassi if Chevy can find any kind of performance.  

    Anything that can stop people from asking "What's wrong with NASCAR?" will be a great first step.

     

     

    tl;dr

    1. More short tracks to spark fan interest

    2. Media partners to pimp

    3. ????

    4. Profit

    What is going on with DW?  I see lots of people defending him on twitter but I can't find out what he did.  Was it that AP article by Jenna Fryer that said he should retire?

    Yeah, I think it was that article.  Mission accomplished I guess, because he announced his retirement today effective at the end of FOX season at Sonoma. 

     

    I'm gonna miss him, but I'm not gonna miss him.  Depending upon his replacement, I may miss him more.
