We do have Amazon Prime, we've had it for almost 15 years, thanks for the heads-up. I'd like to see new action.

I may be a little bias here but Bristol puts on a good show most of the time. Hardly a bad seat in the house.

No doubt but Bristol is about 8 hours away from us, that’s a bit too much for us

Rick Ware Racing has been bought out by one of the original investors of Spire. Honestly don't have any hopes their performance will improve any as he seems pretty open about what his motives are.

One of the founders of Spire Motorsports has entered an agreement to purchase the NASCAR team owned by Rick Ware and is jumping back into the stock car series because he believes the current charters are grossly undervalued.

Of course, the deal includes keeping his son in one of the cars.

Easily top 3 best race I’ve ever been too. That whole final run to the checkered was a slugfest between 10 different drivers and nobody in the crowd was sitting. And the everyone went nuts when Chase made the winning move.

Wow, great view and shot mate. I bet the crowd was excited and thrilled about the top 3 win!

It was the most energized crowd I’ve been a part of since the 2022 Indy 500. The final 30 something laps were electric! Anytime Chase made a pass for position, not even for the lead, people were cheering like it was the last lap!

Outrage from the Boomers on Facebook/Reddit/Everywhere else that are complaining there's too many road courses and too many "ringers" nowadays...

They will complain about anything and everything so I have no problem with more road courses. Still not even 25% of the calendar.

The boomer fans were fine with Logano getting into the playoffs last year, because rules are rules. But now that SVG is in with his road course wins it's suddenly a problem that must be fixed. Platforms like reddit and double standards go hand in hand when it comes to just about any topic.

I like the road courses, seeing SVG schooling 99% of the field because they don't heel toe shift is entertaining to watch. If he ever gets good at ovals then they're definitely in trouble.

Logano? Do you mean Harrison Burton?

Chicago Street Course is off the schedule for 2026. They are hoping to return in 2027. As of now, there is no set replacement race but rumors are either a San Diego Street Course or Chicagoland Speedway.

Going to look very bad for NASCAR if Austin Hill is not suspended for hooking Aric Almirola into the wall after getting bumped up a groove.

On that note:

Hill benched for one Xfinity Series race following IMS incident | RACER

Austin Hill has been suspended for one NASCAR Xfinity Series race after hooking Aric Almirola in Saturday’s event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hill will miss the race at Iowa Speedway (Aug. 2). Austin Dillon will drive the No. 21 Chevrolet in his place.Richard Childress Racing will not appeal...

Because Hill will be missing a race for a non-Medical reason, he'll also lose all of his Playoff Points.
