Single car qualifying is easily in my top 5 favorite oval racing activities
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 185 MPH!"
Wednesday night used to be pole qualifying night for the October Charlotte race. In this clip from 1994, track announcer Bill Connell calls Ward Burton's pole and Dale Earnhardt's run

Since Denny put this out on his own accord, I can confirm that an offer was made for me to join his team.
At the time of offer (Roughly April 2021), RFR had gone to contract with their offer and it was ready to sign. I was very interested in the opportunity and offered them a quick match to gauge seriousness. Didn’t go any further so here we are…
The story of the deals that didn’t come together could feed families for decades.
[Actions Detrimental 37:00] Denny Hamlin asked Brad Keselowski to join 23XI after his Penske contract was up but Brad was “very firm on this amount of money and ownership…from what I hear, he wanted a lot of money from Penske and they didn’t want to shell out so he went looking” (u/LBHMS) #NASCAR

Agreed. Get the nose off the ground, no splitters, as little downforce/aero devices as possible.

It’s because their fingerprints weren’t on it to take credit. The BS we have now is unmistakably theirs and they want to spin it into the greatest creation of all time. When over half the fan base leaves its different viewing habits, more entertainment options, and a variety of other excuses instead of blame where it belongs.

People in the nascar industry need to grow a back bone and call it how it is. The Next Gen is a failure and thats okay to admit it

Apparently the rumor mill is working overtime.
Interesting news… Especially since KHI Racing still exists.
Always entertaining finding out Keelan’s plans before we do. I’ll keep checking social media for his schedule! 🏁

Stage racing is just a disguise to throw a caution and bunch up the field in hopes of some restart drama. No other Motorsport has stage racing. Stage racing is an outdated concept they made in 2017 to bunch the field up

I cannot wait for the industry to fix the Next Gen or replace it, then act like they didn't spend the entire time defending the damn thing so disingenuously.
It's just like how much we saw them defending the Playoffs until it suddenly was their idea to replace it.

I disagree with Freddie like a mf & Tommy is using that same ole tired "oh the cars were super spread out back in the day and that was boring"
Uh yea...the amount of cars on the lead lap doesn't determine how good the racing is.Give us a car that can closely follow the one ahead

Hell, go watch just a couple laps from Texas in 2002. Dirty air was a huge topic that year, the last year before they standardized the front and rear bumpers, and even then, drivers can follow and get runs in corners. It's very much a next gen problem.
I went to NASCAR Classics, went to 2003, & clicked on a random race at Texas (a Track renowned for terrible racing even back then) and screen recorded a few laps. So this is not even me cherry picking examples because I’m sure there are far better examples. This is just how it was. You don’t have to search for examples. The racing was just good.
Watch the 12 car here as he keeps entering the corners directly in the wake of the 8 as he chases him down for the win, & experiences little to no dirty air. If he entered the corners like that in today’s car he would lose the nose and push up 3 lanes.
It’s jarring how drastic of a difference this is to today. Yet we are told it is exactly the same. You can click on literally any race from 2000-2009 on NASCAR classics and find hordes of examples like this from each race.

A word to the (hopefully) wise Freddie Kraft, and others:
If *you're* going to call someone's take "dumb," *your* tweet should probably use the correct "you're/your."
Otherwise *you're* just going to make *your*self look worse than you already do in this whole back-and-forth.
Yep you are correct. Running 4th, 3 laps away from a spot in the race where points are paid is exactly the same as running 4th at a place like Dover 200 laps from when points are paid. Exactly the same. A take so dumb that your off the reply list 😂
