Dewar Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Subway pulls out of their last race as a sponsor with Daniel Suarez because of a NBC pre-race segment where he went and handed out Dunkin Donuts to fans at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and the Smithfield Foods/Richard Petty Motorsports divorce got ugly in a hurry. Petty claims they backed out of a handshake deal, Smithfield fires back that they need a better return on their investment, instead of an underperforming team.

Pete Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Bubba Wallace will drive the 43 car full-time for Petty next year. First African-American driver with a full NASCAR ride since Wendell Scott in 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Defending series champion Martin Truex Jr. is without a ride for 2019. Furniture Row Racing is shutting down after 2018, because of lack of sponsorship dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Chad Knaus and Jimmie Johnson are parting ways after this year. I haven' watched NASCAR much the past couple years but this feels like an end of the Johnson era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Well, god damn, that was a fucking scary ending. I hope Newman is alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I hardly ever pray, but I threw one up for Newman. Watching that crash really got to me, especially because of the eerie similarities to 2001. Hopefully we’ll hear some good news soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Newman apparently has "serious, but non-life threatening injuries" It's miraculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I knew something was up when the television cameras were not showing the rescue efforts. Glad it is not life-threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Watching some of the iRacing, is it possible to skin different looks onto the cars? Can we get Ryan Blaney in an AMC Matador? Bubba Wallace driving a Superbird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until there's evidence of enforcement, this is PR that they honestly believe they will follow through on but will likely lose nerve.

hammerva Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I do enjoy the joke on Twitter that for NASCAR fans who need to have a confederate flag in order to enjoy it, there is still one flag that will always be there that also resembles the Confederates. The white flag which is used for I think for the warning and for surrender in war. Edited June 11, 2020 by hammerva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The quitter barely qualifies as a racer. He has finished in the top 10 one time in 40 races in his "career". He has failed to qualify for 9 of those 40 events. Basically, we could find someone on the board to pull off what this moron has as a race car driver. Him claiming to be a race car driver would be like me claiming to be a professional soccer player because when someone asks me to play a game in net for their team I ask that they buy me a beer for my services. Bubba's car looked great, and he did a really good job last night. Racing analysis! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he was planning to retire anyway, but now this lets him shift the narrative from "so-so race car driver retires" to "TRUE PATRIOT CHOOSES VALUES OVER CAREER~!" Maybe soak the rubes for some cash on the way out too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
