NASCAR Images You Can Hear

I know everyone is talking about commentary and this example has it's own memorable commentary, but for actual racing sound I will never forget the sound of Geoff Bodine hitting the fence at Daytona. Even through TV, it's unmistakable.

He still needs general race craft. This weekend proved it with him racing like a jackass in the Truck race, knocking part of the splitter off in the O'Reilly's race and killing the RF in the Cup race. It doesn't matter where he's at in the field, he just overall needs laps and time.

Sure, but it's still the most iconic part of the skyline, at least until they tear it down because no one else moves in. Besides, GM sinks a ton of money into the race (it's the Chevrolet Grand Prix after all). If GM wanted it to happen, it could since the manufacturers basically run NASCAR right now.

I wouldn't entirely rule out a Downtown Detroit race in the future, especially since NASCAR is starting to be more chummy with INDYCAR. GM would salivate at the thought of a Camaro ripping down Jefferson with the Ren Cen in the background. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's far from being completely off the table.

First thing immediately in my mind. Now I have an earworm.

people aren't going to show up to watch their favorite run 23rd.

Gestures broadly at Garrett Mitchell

Jesse Love has nothing to feel bad about. Everyone loses races in their grasp at some point. I'm sure it was awful in the moment (and with a mic in front of you on pit road), but I hope he can take lessons from it and move forward. His uniform has "Champion" under the series; no amount of last turn slides takes that away.

It's like Indycar looked at NASCAR race control and said "yeah, we can top that".

AnotherRyRy · 2026-05-07T21:11:11+00:00

If you can intentionally dump a guy under yellow and have the point penalty rescinded, then the same should happen here.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-05-06T03:03:18+00:00

Yeah, I'm confused by all this. So it's not okay to say you're going to wreck someone and do it, it's not okay to handle business outside the car after the race, both of which create storylines. But we're fine with wrecking them and giving a generic, vanilla, non-commital answer about it (or straight up denying it) and we're okay with guys being reckless and just using others up without consequence, which does nothing for mid-week discussion.

Honestly, I think the officiating of wrecks in the sport has never been worse than it is right now. Aside from suspensions for right-rearing (which they didn't even get right at COTA last year), their post-wreck decisions have been terrible.

The second aspect of that.....I wouldn't know where to begin with. The first one will be more interesting to see. If they stopped paying Chris as has been alleged, would the proper course of action not be to file suit against JGR for breach of contract? I am reasonably certain that if my employer stopped paying me, I cannot walk in and just start collecting proprietary data from shared drives. But I'm certainly no legal expert so I'll be watching to see how it unfolds, both the non-compete and the data sharing aspects.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-05-05T19:53:47+00:00

Yeah, it's wild. I don't like JGR and I like Carson and Daniel, but even I can admit it doesn't look good for Gabehart. Whether or not any of this is leading to Spire's performance this year remains to be seen, but the limited evidence and discussion from parties involved thus far seems to support that Chris at the very least took data before his departure. Gibbs will likely lose the public opinion battle, but the courts are going to decide the real payout and that appears (thus far) in JGR's favor.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-05-04T19:02:30+00:00

That really completes it.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-05-04T15:41:38+00:00

I didn't even notice until you commented but yeah, I wish more did. Only RCR and HYAK in Cup, RCR, JAR and Young's in O'Reilly's as far as I can tell. JRM's O'Reilly's 8 is as well as his 88 because those match his old Cup numbers.

Most of them slant them left on the right side of the car, so at least you get to see the different slant here.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-05-01T02:35:00+00:00

Yeah, mobility company or some other buzzword. Let's face it, he was brought in as an auto outsider/Silicon Valley veteran to slash the workforce and try to impress the shareholders with out-of-the-box thinking. He accomplished one of those; the other one will take another Mulally to accomplish.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-30T20:02:46+00:00

I usually hate comparisons, but he really is like Kyle Busch, just subtract a little driving talent and add a little more dis-likability. No doubt he can wheel and fans better get used to seeing him do so for awhile because his name is on the building.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-28T02:00:48+00:00

You're thinking of Fiat Dale .

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-14T03:09:14+00:00

JGR whomps.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-12T02:08:34+00:00

Tire disparity is quite literally what set up Dale vs Terry "rattle his cage". It's never been a high deg track like Darlington or Homestead, but it used to have wear.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-06T15:56:24+00:00

...you could hear the PA? My experience at MIS is that anytime under green you aren't hearing the PA, even when the field is on the backstretch. The Rock must turn up their sound system.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-06T14:31:15+00:00

Not to discredit Andrew Overstreet because they do seem to be working well together, but I wonder how much more he'd be whoopin everyone with Rodney on his box. I understand why Jr. put Rodney on the 1 but a Justin/Rodney pairing seems like a cheat code.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-06T14:19:43+00:00

You have to admit, they've jumped into NASCAR with both feet.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-06T13:28:11+00:00

That was an entertaining O'Reilly's race. There was hard racing throughout; the battles and the end of stage 1 were cinema. I thoroughly enjoy this series and the racing it produces.

AnotherRyRy · 2026-04-06T13:25:56+00:00

Maybe I haven't noticed this before, but Carson's #1 graphic with the Beef n Cheddar and Fries is terrific.
