This is a good thing and it matters a lot but I’ll be DAMNED if that isn’t the most on-brand Richard Childress could ever possibly be, good lord.

And now, my dearest friends, we spend the next week being shown a now illegal driving move to market a race where we literally won’t be allowed to witness it again.
But still, let’s all take a look a what he did, one more time.
#NASCAR
Remember Blaine Perkins’ bad crash and Fox cut to commercial? Well, NBC when confronted with a bad crash didn’t go to a replay BUT they kept on air and talked about what happened.
THAT is the correct response.
#NASCAR
NBC: extremely informative graphics and animations to show exactly how air moves into and through the new type of Cup car.
Fox: uhhhh BRAKES ARE BIGGER NOW STOPPIN’ BIGGER YALL!
#NASCAR
Guy: “Why you gonna suspend a driver for liking a meme? Soft ass woke shit time to bud light nascar”
Same guy a few weeks ago: “I saw one of Bubba Wallace’s fingers for half a second he should be suspended for life.”
#NASCAR
Denny Hamlin:
Last time at Martinsville- calls Bowman a hack
This time at Martinsville- loses a free pass battle to Michael McDowell while trying to spin him out
#NASCAR
A man claiming to be a NASCAR Tech Inspector “Coss Rhastain” quickly spoke to the press after the disqualifications of Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch.
“The uhhhh, front…facial thingy…is very bad, very very bad.”
#NASCAR
What Chris Rock said: “Can’t wait to see you in G.I. Jane 2.”
What Twitter seems to think Chris Rock said: “nice hair disease you bald bitch, bet your husband won’t even defend your ass.”
Matt Kenseth has what it takes to be an every race commentator. This three person booth could really work, Matt’s personality brings Clint Bowyer down to a manageable level rather than try to match his high energy.
#NASCAR
Hailie Deegan is expected to announce 2023 racing plans tomorrow.
The smart money seems to be saying she’s likely to move up to xfinity, possibly for a Stewart Haas backed entry such as a Bobby Dotter SS Greenlight car like Cole Custer won with at Fontana.
#NASCAR
I agree that looks scary as hell and I hope R&D takes a hard look at it, but a lot of people seem to think the two sides of the cage are the same.
That’s just not true.
#NASCAR
I hope Noah Gragson gets some good people in his corner for fitness and conditioning before he has to race Cup full time next year. Easy for my fat ass to say here on the couch, but it worries me seeing him like this.
#NASCAR
Dale Jarrett stated on the broadcast that he had a concussion at Kansas where the impact was so bad he “lost 5 days of his memory.”
Jarrett did not miss a single race in 2001.
The next gen car didn’t invent this problem, we just react differently.
#NASCAR
The Carson Hocevar post crash audio is pretty disturbing, and with the video shows some complacency on crash procedure that needs addressing.
I don’t know if the window net down as seemingly a “everything’s ok, take your time no rush” signal is appropriate anymore.
#NASCAR
Danica Patrick would thrive in a two person booth. She’s a soft target because of her NASCAR career but you don’t need to be a great driver to do this. Put her with ONE strong play by play announcer that can also dish some analysis and it could work.
#NASCAR
Carson Hocevar and JR Motorsports have apparently been talking about being together for 2023, I wonder if that’s a done deal yet given the Noah Gragson news.
#NASCAR
When one F1 Pirelli tire blows, it’s an international incident. When 63 Goodyears blow in one NASCAR weekend, it’s big bowl of “tough shit” for the teams. This is becoming unacceptable in today’s context.
#NASCAR
Picture it: Daytona, last race before the playoffs. 15 different winners, but Truex still without one. A persistent lightning storm passes by just after halfway during pit stops.
Austin Dillon stays out, wins the race, makes the playoffs. Martin Truex Jr does not.
#NASCAR
Actually let me go ahead and say this, and please please please take my advice, but this is not the time for a Ty Gibbs joke.
I’m being flat square honest, delete the tweets and take a deep breath. Do it now, trust me.
#NASCAR
“Driving kinda rough out there you think?”
“Well to think of me let’s first consider Jesus Christ the Savior and…”
Ty Gibbs needs a PR overhaul in the worst fucking way. We need a complete rebuild for 2023.
#NASCAR
There’s a lot going on here with Kyle and Samantha Busch….and yet my eye is immediately drawn to JH Nemechek. The innocent glee in his face as his employer looks like a loading screen from Grand Theft Auto.
#NASCAR
In case anyone really cared... Here's about an hour of checking North Carolina PEANUT BUTTER registration data for full-time

Cup Series drivers.
Looking forward to Rick Allen explaining the Daniel Hemric hauler situation in mind meltingly slow and deliberate detail
Rick: “The car…STRANDED IN TEXAS, they had to get ANOTHER HAULER…”
Burton: “ya gotta have the car at the track”
Steve: “that is so true, Jeff”
#NASCAR
Notice how Rutledge Wood not being a part of NASCAR broadcasts made the broadcasts 100% better?
Hope he’s doing well with his new tv shows, I think all parties came out better for it.
#NASCAR
Jeffrey Earnhardt driving for Dale Jr would be 99.9% commercialization, merch, and pure unadulterated sponsorship mugging…but fuck it let’s go for it.
Jeffrey to the 8.
#NASCAR
It’s not 100%, but I’ve noticed a great deal of the suggestions for shorter length Cup races come from people that don’t pay their own money to go to races. Just a thought.
#NASCAR
HEARTBREAK! Both Newgarden and Ericsson are forced to pit out of turn 4 and Santino Ferrucci is the Indy 500 winner for AJ Foyt! What a turn of events!!!
#Indy500
Jordan Anderson made a choice when confronted with a dire situation. He made a choice to disengage and get out of the truck like that and I’m glad it didn’t turn into an immediate tragedy, but man that was close to one.
#NASCAR
Richard Childress grew up dirt poor and has been a remarkable philanthropist alongside his success, but I can only imagine him as a boy selling peanuts at Bowman Gray dreaming of the day he could rightly say,
“I am donating 1 million bullets.”
#NASCAR
So there’s been rumblings out there about RCR being for sale, probably one of those “everything’s for sale” type things but still…
Dale Jr. buying RCR whole-ass a la Trackhouse seems like one of those things so perfect that it just needs to happen.
#NASCAR
Paraphrase from Austin Hill: sure am tired of getting roughed around by Sheldon Creed, time to get a teammate who will race me clean, like
J E S S E L O V E.
You usually have to pay good money to see standup comedy like that.
#NASCAR
Having Twitter monetized for the higher level engagement accounts is only going to make things more annoying around here. Exhibit A:
Btw I don’t care how rich or popular you are, “professional” content creators can shut the right fuck up about employment.
#NASCAR
*2024*
Hailie Deegan does well: “ah you see? just needed that xfinity ride, this is the series for her”
Hailie Deegan doesn’t do well: “well what do you expect driving for that shit clown team. She needs the 10 car in Cup to see what she can do!”
Rinse, Repeat.
#NASCAR
Did we really think this was the kind of guy that was going to fist fight over a race win?
Find me a better aesthetic than young Tyler Reddick, you can’t. The hair, the TMac shirt, the I ❤️ Boobies bracelet…it’s all here.
#NASCAR
@TylerReddick
(Pic via NSP Facebook).
Active NASCAR drivers that are unquestioned Hall of Famers based on the current unspoken metrics of the HOF:
Kyle Busch
Kevin Harvick
Denny Hamlin
Brad Keselowski
Kurt Busch
Martin Truex Jr
Joey Logano
#NASCAR
With all this Chastain stuff, my point is how short our collective memory really is.
Harvick is considered a man of quiet dignity rn while it’s not even 1 full year since he drove head on into the fence after trying to ruin Chase Elliott’s season. We all move on.
#NASCAR
Kimi was only brought back to NASCAR because of his excellent interview skills.
Watkins Glen needs a mandatory two driver interview panel of Kyle Busch and Kimi Raikkonen right after the race. 1st interviewer to get a 5+ word answer wins a million bucks.
#NASCAR
This is from a few years ago of course, but it’s always a THING with “intellectual” people.
Last category on the board, avoided like the plague, but yet they got every question right.
Stock car racing is in the fabric of our culture, we just don’t all admit it.
#NASCAR
Rumor gaining traction on Facebook saying Bubba Wallace and Kyle Busch will essentially switch cars next year. You don’t need me to tell you it’s fake, but…yeah.
#NASCAR
“I’m too swole for this seat, check my gains” might be one of the best shit talking moments in NASCAR history from Tyler Reddick (not a direct quote).
#NASCAR
Come on, Mike Wallace. I’d like to say I’d expect better but, you know…
Seriously I don’t care about his politics I just expect better from an actual NASCAR guy.
#NASCAR
Dumbasses: “NASCAR got no business with rap music aint a single real person in nascar like rap music we all hate it!”
Also dumbasses: “We need more people like Mark Martin in NASCAR.”
If you know, you know.
#NASCAR
A deleted tweet from Max Papis (a board member for LiveStrong) states that Sherry Pollex had passed away after a long battle with cancer.
I’d imagine it was deleted not as a factual issue but a personal one as that may not be public yet, but a sad situation regardless.
#NASCAR
If it weren’t for Ken Schrader’s 4 wins with Hendrick, HMS would only have 265 wins. Thus, Ken Schrader is the greatest NASCAR racer of all time. It’s simple if you think about it.
So while NASCAR mulls the likely penalties for Bubba Wallace (car as a weapon, playoff driver damage, on-track confrontations), it’s possible next week we could see 100% of a Cup team in 23XI use replacement drivers (JHN in 45 maybe?).
Has that ever happened before?
#NASCAR
I don’t give a fuck how angry you are that was unacceptable from Kyle Busch. Blowing through cones to the garage and sending people diving out of the way. Get your fucking head right.
#NASCAR
It’s too easy to say “NEXT GEN CAR BAD” with Noah Gragson’s crash. The angle and speed of this one would have been nasty in any generation of NASCAR.
Before we had these lofty expectations it used to be “oh good he only has a concussion.”
Racing is not safe.
