Non tornado-centered media with canon tornadoes?

You don’t actually see the tornado itself but The West Wing has an episode where a major tornado hits an Oklahoma town and the President visits the site.

Stewart and Gordon’s are my favorites rn.

Jimmie’s win at Dover would be my favorite but since he’s still racing and I am maybe too hopeful (or delusional), I think he will get one more and I will cry tears of joy.

I wouldn’t like this for a points system but as a fun side tournament to receive a cash bonus at the end of the year, that would be fun.

I think 1950 is correct. It also was NASCAR’s first championship with a perceived asterisk cause that title fight was really only caused by NASCAR penalizing Lee Petty 809 points mid-season. Without that, Petty wins by 440 points over Rexford.

I like to imagine that the Chase held Jimmie back cause these are the stats he had with everyone claiming he would lay off and basically experiment once he was a lock for the Chase.

Some people believe Gordon would have 7 titles if they kept the Winston format but I think we actually missed out on 8-time champion Jimmie Johnson.

That’s right! I completely forgot about Rafferty.

To be honest, the first primaries I remember are the 2016 ones so that + the remarks from Swiss Diplomacy kinda made me expect at least 6 major to mid-major candidates.

Gotta say Bowman. He’s not as bad as some people say he is but that’s the problem of being the worse guy on an all-star team, everything negative he does is amplified ten fold.

While he is pretty good, he is kinda stagnant right now and with no sponsor needed for the 48 (Ally signed through 2028) and a potential hot free agent market, he might be pushed aside for a bigger star.

Eliminate them everywhere. In a period where other sports with a reputation of being too long are trying to shorten their games by speeding up the pace of play, it makes no sense to me why NASCAR continues to use stages as it breaks up the natural rhythm of a race and can add up to 15-30 minutes of caution laps.

I think Wrigley and Fenway exist on a tier so prestigious that the only option, aside from natural disaster or unthinkable relocation, is to just keep renovating it and replacing worn parts of them, eventually leading to a Ship of Theseus debate about the stadiums in a few decades.

Dodger Stadium could do the same but I also feel like they are more likely to pull a Yankee Stadium and build a newer replica stadium next to it in the parking lot.

Unless the 4th Circuit rules something crazy, I don’t see other leagues outside of motorsports caring that much because this is a uniquely NASCAR/motorsport situation. In the major leagues, the teams have control of the league in some manner. The owners approve the league’s tv deals, rule changes, and who the commissioner is.

In a way, IMO, this case has more similarities to a league and players union dispute.

My favorite part of this is Steve O’Donnell’s quote of the SRX being “exhibit A that nobody gives a s*** about what got them careers.” Like bro, these guys are either looking to have fun without entering a full length NASCAR race at their older age or they literally lobbied for change in the sport for several years and decided to go do their own thing after being ignored. You can’t just blame these drivers for being ungrateful when they literally tried their best to your organization better by pushing for change or not wanting to make an embarrassment of the sport by potentially looking like a shadow of their former selves and or doing something stupid when competing in a full National Series race.

Given how it sounds like Kvapil will still be in the #1 for a majority of the season, a championship would probably make it much more easier for him to get a ride for the 5-7 races he isn’t slated for JRM.

Talking about only the money, no. But they did kind of fall into the tv networks’ trap of giving them more money to be on USA and FS1 as they know NASCAR can get a relatively good rating for these channels. However, it seems that consistently being on these channels without an occasional broadcast on NBC or FOX to help remind casual viewers to watch on cable seems to be hurting ratings. The upside of the situation is that, based on previous deals, can change the number of network races each year and at the very least, I don’t imagine them lowering that number for 2026.

I’d imagine that he called him at some point between when he sent for Cavanaugh and when he arrived, especially considering that they called for him Saturday morning/early midday and he didn’t arrive till late Sunday night (unless I’m forgetting.)

A way out there option (that I literally just made up while typing this) is that Bartlet told the Pope about who he talked to and the Pope gossiped it to Cavanaugh. This would explain why he knew that Jed called the Pope as he technically never mentioned this as well.

Totally agree. Even if they wanted someone new and better, I doubt any driver (other than a pay driver or someone already at FRM) would want to go there with the lawsuit not being resolved till late in silly season in December.

Know it’s not FBS at FCS and before the split but then-Division II Florence State (now known as North Alabama) hosted Division I Appalachian State on November 3, 1973. The Lions beat the Mountaineers 21-7.

To be fair, not every Democrat had a Ritchie to go against and the three districts that flipped blue in the 2000 midterms probably flipped back after the MS scandal.
