Mark Martin comes out of retirement and no one bats an eye. Jeff Gordon comes out of retirement and everybody loses their minds.

In other news, NASCAR gives meaningless penalty. How about penalizing the points for the entire race win or eliminate the bonus points since he's in the chase already.

And they wonder why attendance is going down...(depending on location and I don't mean Indy)...

Jeff Gordon is [temporarily] back! I have to remember the four-time champ will not be in the #24 or rocking DuPont/Axalta colors. He's substituting for Dale Earnhardt Jr. for Indianapolis and Pocono. ...I don't know. I love the heck out of Jeff Gordon, but I don't know whether to be excited he's back or wondering if he should stay retired. I'm sort of on the fence, but I'm glad he's back competitively.


[OMISSION] Hey, y'all... don't forget- we got NASCAR Trucks at Eldora tonight! MudSummer Classic tonight to be shown on FOX Sports 1. Put on a great show, NASCAR Trucks. Good luck to all drivers and teams tonight.

I think that #42 at the start of this page is another bad-looking mish-mash of decals, like many modern day schemes.

I think if it kept the same color scheme but sported the smaller Energizer Bunny on the hood a la the 2013 scheme, it would look a little bit better. I still like it though.

Also was surprised it took so long for this...

"According to the complaint, the track, its parent company International Speedway Corp. and NASCAR, were negligent, among other things, for "failing to properly remedy known dangerous conditions following continued, numerous injuries to spectators as a result of airborne race cars crashing into the catch fences""
Not like this wasn't already being addressed with the Daytona Rising Project or anything...The new fencing hadn't been installed yet, but it was planned. Or am I wrong here? Also, I just get tired of seeing the same crap over and over. The back of the ticket ALWAYS has a disclaimer notifying the attendee of the chance of injury.

Some other stuff from /r/NASCAR that would be interesting here

42 is reminds me off the earlier Energizer schemes

FS1 not yet putting the qualifying heats, instead they are treating us with the voice of Collin Cowherd and talking about Pokemon

Come on let's see the races. Nobody cares about Coward and the other guy. It's just male version of Garbage Time. Nobody watches either

"I didn't even listen to him."

Gotta love Ken Schrader.

 

[Jahgee]

Really rooting for Schrader tonight

Ooh, nice looking 43 truck

 

[CCM284]

Would be nice to see Schrader win. But I gotta pull for Pierce. I pulled for him last year when he came up short. Hopefully he can do it tonight.

 

[GTFan24]

Should we have a drinking game for every time they mention: "Slide Job" tonight?

Very few people who talk about a drinking game on a forum are

 

[GTFan24]

Water is allowed btw

 

[Jahgee]

Water is allowed btw

What's the point then?

 

[catamount39]

Water is allowed btw

Or root beer.

 

[Johnny1996]

Personally I'd use Dewshine. I could use moonshine but that'd get me in trouble.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I may not be a genius, but it looks like Kvapil isn't happy with Abreu.

 

[CCM284]

LMFAO at Kvapil.

 

[GTFan24]

Oh Kvapil
