A day prior to the Indy 500, photographer Mark Rebilas flew his drone over Kentucky Speedway. Hereโs its current condition, four years after itโs last NASCAR race. (via u/Competitive-Luck201)

Plenty of work to do to finish this year strong, but really excited to get the chance to work with a championship winning guy in Rodney next season. Rodneyโs credentials speak for themselves.
I guess the precedent has been set that intentionally wrecking multiple drivers, including the forbidden right hook while your spotter yells โWRECK HIMโ is now legal
Mufflers have been a divisive topic over the past couple years. While

didnโt notice a change in cooling, heโs a fan of what was tested today โฆ he believes it will help the โfan experience.โ

with the questions.
I donโt remember seeing a bunch of fear mongering about Gateway, Vegas, Kansas, Indy or Atlanta. I guess facts donโt make for good click bait? Weird
Chicago vibes are pretty awesome so far. Weโve gotten numerous โgood luckโ and โwhat number are yโall withโ comments on our walk into the track. Locals seem pretty stoked
Kinda floored everyone is on the same strategy now, essentially. That was like the only selling point Richmond had. Thought at least someone would try the one-stop.

today is re-implementing additional COVID-related at-track restrictions, namely reducing interactions between essential personnel and guests/fans.
โ Guests won't be allowed at haulers, garages or grids, and drivers can't visit suites (but can do things outdoors).
I love holidays when youโre the only person in racing and you have to field hard hitting questions like โso do they ever let you drive the car or do you just have to work on it??โ
Iโll preface this by saying that I love my job and I happily signed a 2 year extension on my contract BUT in general going racing is a bad financial decision.
As an engineer it took me 6 seasons and 3 promotions to earn what I could have straight out of school in industry.
Understand many Cup and even NXS teams are having a tough time filling positions internally with burnout factor becoming more of a tangible challenge over the length of the season - one principal believes itโs even reached the level of drivers not wanting to commit to full season
Thereโs no driver in the field that takes care of his guys like

Racing contracts are so weirdly vague. Baseball is like โwe have him for this many years at this many dollars and if he successfully completes no nut November he gets a billion dollar bonusโ

Anyone thatโs against mufflers on the next gen should come to an Indycar race and see how pleasant it is being able to have a conversation with cars on track

I wanna drive race cars so I can get burnt out and whine while spending less actual work hours than all of blue collar america does.
There have been a lot of opinions on the moves by Austin Dillon on the last lap but best way to analyze them is to look at the actual data so let's dig into his last two laps in a quick thread.
Orange = Lap 407
Blue = Lap 408
Scenario: Youโre the commissioner of a brand new racing series.
What type of racecar and what tracks do you visit?
Can be any type of car and track๐
Iโm in my third Uber of the weekend to and from Texas Motor Speedway and zero (0) of my drivers had any idea there was a race this weekend. My current driver Jeffery said he would have gone if he knew there was a race
People seem to forget that flying commercial means an extra travel day on both ends of each race weekend. Thatโs easily an extra 50 days on the road if you factor out races within a 5 hour drive

If the only voices people hear are the ones spewing vitriol and hate then everyone is going to be lumped together until someone decides to speak up
This whole conversation online this week is getting merged into a bunch of different things. Is anyone arguing dirty air is new? Not that I've heard. The topic this week has been about air-blocking as a technique used by the leader to defend. And that is relatively new (within
