Gotta feel for MacMurray. The one time he actually has soeed, the team doesn't bring him in when a problem develops. Bring him in and change tires! You might not win the race, but you'll still finish it!
 
Everyone is getting mad at the 21, he's not doing anything worse than, say, the 42.

I'll never race there, but if I ever did race at Martinsville, the first thing I'd have in hand afterwards is a bat or some other solid object.

Looks like everyone is being aggressive.
 
Stenhouse, you utter peice of 🤬. I'd give you that 🤬 if you could even keep your car in one peice every weekend.
 
Walk in home from work just in time to see that. What is the issue with blue flag manners this weekend?

Chas Reed in Supercross last light and now Wrecky Spinhouse interfering with the leaders.
 
I hope KB beats that boys 🤬 after the race, that was just a piece of 🤬 move right there by that little punk. Stenhouse, you better watch your 🤬 now, you got one comin'.
 
Safe to say mosquito repellent isn't useful there today with all the smoke coming from the cars.
 
Congratulations to Brad and Roger for winning at the Paperclip, 70 years of prestige. And to Joey for coming an impressive 4th after going down 2 laps.

An interesting race, with the stages and the upper lane playing a significant role. Coming men Chase Elliot and Austin Dillon did themselves proud.

Now on to Texas, where the bravest of the brave let it all hang out.
 
I'm debating on whether or not to go next week. I do enjoy the atmosphere around the track, but I don't know if I want to give NASCAR my money.
 
I just happened to be up early enough to watch the last 110 laps of the Martinsville race... I haven't seen a NASCAR race (through either the TV or internet) since about 2014. If not 2013. Great to hear the FOX commentary team again, I've really missed that since Channel ONE culled live NASCAR broadcasts (and pretty much everything related to it). I was watching a YT livestream, BTW.

The part of the race I watched wasn't too bad actually. Great contest between Brad and Kyle, along with a couple of others further back in the field. Quite a lot of crashes out there, and plenty of door-to-door racing. Just what I like to see. I'm so mad that Channel ONE is no longer a sports only channel. IT SUCKS.

My understanding is that the banking angle on two of the turns will be reduced, and the entire track resurfaced. This means the absolute requirement for extreme bravery is magnified. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the stakes.
 
I absolutely loved yesterdays race. I thought that move Stenhouse made at the end of stage 2, moving Kyle Busch to stay on the lead lap was fantastic, and I especially loved that scrap for the lead between Busch and Keselowski. It's a shame that Junior got taken out as he was having a good race despite spinning out midway in. If he hadn't gotten that speeding penalty, he could have easily gotten a top 10 finish.

NASCAR's quest to attract younger fans, or shall I use the dreaded term Millennials, is in full swing. NASCAR races will feature Bellator MMA fights at select races starting at Charlotte.

This to me is a growing pain of having Monster as the title sponsor because that's exactly their market.

Lovely way to throw everyone from 1975 to 2000 under the same burning bus. Nobody wants this ****. :banghead: MMA fights really? Gotta be ****ing kidding me.

Millennial is a super broad term that's mostly misunderstood. Many think of a Millennial as a young person but by definition it's someone who reached adulthood on or around the year 2000. By the definition, I myself am a Millennial having turned 18 in the year 2000. This is definitely an attempt to attract "younger people" though.

Personally, I don't mind at all the Monster Cup girl - a different one each week - horning in to the victory circle interview! :bowdown:

I also appreciated the Stenhouse bump-and-run-nudge-without-wrecking, a true pro move. And I love to hear Kyle
Busch whine. 👍

The aero and tire package is also superb. The rookie class is phenomenal, and some of the sophomores may be Championship threats! Bowyer is back, Newman is already in the Chase. This may be the best year for NASCAR and its fans for quite some time.
