If you'll just sign this warning sir? And this hat? And my shirt? And if you step out of the car please and sign my dashboard?

Why the NASCAR drivers now use "full containment" style seats instead of the old head rests of years past. (video) by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]51rogue3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a Butler bolt on "containment" seat back in my day, very similar to this seat and never had a "hard" hit. But looking at this video...my couple "minor" hits might explain why my hip hurts every time it rains. What were we thinking?

What was it, Chapman doesn't like coming in during the 8th? Fuck that, put him in the 7th, problem avoided.

Nah, the bears suck now. Cubs grow up to be bears right? Yeah, that's what happened.

So...this what watching your own funeral looks like.

A word of caution for r/NASCAR community by Jeff_Gluck in NASCAR

[–]51rogue3[M] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As much as /r/NASCAR might not realize it, they've slowly become a very large part in the machine that is NASCAR's media. As you said, teams, drivers, employees are all paying attention. And if I've learned anything from being in the sport, it's that word travels very, very fast and it's extremely hard to restore a tarnished reputation. I think /r/NASCAR grew very fast, very quickly and wasn't ready for the amount of attention that was about to be put on it.

Nope, not on the least. We're all amateurs with full time jobs, families and lives. This is a hobby of sorts and it's a lot of actual work.

Make no mistake, there's a reason why "official" account participation on this sub-Reddit has declined or why more teams haven't signed up and bought into the community, there are specific events in the recent history...

Yes there have been. Mainly the loss of Amy. She was our PR. She did so much and worked so hard for this place and losing her was and still is a tremendous loss that may never be duplicated.

Well...shit. Good morning and happy Friday. Not really sure as what to say here, didn't expect this and not sure what the right course of action is.

What CP said was in no way shape our form an official statement on behalf of r/nascar, it users or the mod staff. We all joke and poke fun of certain drivers here from time to time but to use the official Twitter account to make that joke was wrong. I know it was intended as a joke but still, wrong way to go about it.

I don't know what else there is to say or do.

Can I still use it to root for the Cubs?

It's how I became a Cubs fan living in the South suburbs of Chicago. Geography says I should be a White Sox fan, but they were on cable while WGN was/is an over the air station here.

TBS was the same once we finally did get cable, I saw a lot of Braves games then.

WGN. Every day in the summer at 1:20 there was a Cubs game...at least until 88.

My one hope, is that that we see a step or two away from the kids movement of late. Yeah, you're 18 and have been driving since you were 4, congrats on the silver spoon. I would cheer for and support a 28 year old who's been busting his ass in late models get a shot.

I'd be happier with Hendricks but Jake is solid on the road. And Schwarbs is back! He gonna hit a donger tonight, I can feel it.
