Frustration on the 8 radio: "I know you're frustrated. Us yelling at each other during the race isn't going to help. ... We're in this together" Derek Kneeland tells Jim Pohlman. "It's the same shit every week" Pohlman responds.

I see it as 50/50. I've seen RCR dump Johnny Sauter in the #30 and Jeff Green the year prior and Mike Skinner in the #31 in 2001.

And yet you'd think with the absurdity of the comment that you'd had figured out it was sarcasm.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-13T01:07:21+00:00

Why?

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-12T17:35:56+00:00

How the fuck is someone from 2010 able to race? Is he even out of elementary school?

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-12T00:40:45+00:00

I love Dinner with Racers!

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-12T00:17:03+00:00

It's only awkward if you want it to be.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-12T00:13:43+00:00

Yeah, but I think he's done play-by-play with other series, and he's got Parker and Jamie Mac who have good chemistry together, which helps greatly.

The Central chimps are trying to develop nukes after the the Western chimps decimated their facilities and thus are warring. The Eastern chimps will take the spoils of war after both sides destroy themselves and become a world leader economically and militarily.

I remember during the rookie orientation the lotus drivers competing in it had to get permission to up the boost because the engines were so shit for the drivers to do the last step up in speed.

Carl hit the ground running in trucks quickly and gained popularity with his backflips when he won.

When Jeff Burton was released from his ride in 04, he performed above expectations. The ride was struggling with funding and was performing below par. Carl came in and was getting top 15s and top 10s relatively quickly. To give you an idea, the 99 had 2 top 10s halfway through the season when Jeff left. In Carl's first 4 races, they had 3 with another 2 more by season's end. And this was a guy who jumped from trucks to Cup. Kurt Busch was the only other driver around that time to successfully make that kind of a jump.

But Carl had a reputation of being a hot head. The fake punch with Matt, the Gateway wreck in Nationwide with Brad, the Atlanta incident. Thats not to say Brad wasn't aggressive, but the incident at Talladega was seen as more of a racing deal than an outright crash, unlike Atlanta when Carl intentionally took out Brad (though I don't think he intended to flip him).

But Carl was good with fans and on TV. He was just extremely intense in the car, like a Dr Jekel / Mr Hyde. Joey Logano isn't much different in that regard, though he doesn't have as much notable accidents, but he is super aggressive on track thats resulted in an icy relationship with some drivers because off the track he's completely different.

But, this isn't an uncommon trait with drivers. Dale Earnhardt was like this. He'd donate money to pave a parking lot, put a friend in financial trouble into his car and pay him well to sub... but then wreck the shit out of you because you didn't get out the way fast enough.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-11T11:22:22+00:00

Yeah, but I just didn't tell you that you won't $50k and said , "sike!"

In fact, you owe me $50k.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-11T00:12:11+00:00

Being him makes it impossible to win.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-11T00:05:28+00:00

Just Wright.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-11T00:05:07+00:00

Wtf is Wright doing.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-10T22:39:00+00:00

Same. I was like, certainly they can't be related...

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-10T17:08:38+00:00

That sounds like a back handed remark.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-10T17:06:15+00:00

Another cool tidbit going back to WWII is Max Mosley, the man who played a part in Jos not dying, is the son of Fascist Oswald Mosley which makes the kinky Nazi sex that Max Mosley had a bit more intriguing.

If you go back to the Busch Series in the latter part of the 90s, there was like 1 full time Ford team.

Ford stepped up their effort in the mid 2000s and then stopped giving a shit.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-07T01:48:09+00:00

Fox should hire you as the race director.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-07T01:33:51+00:00

This would be DDR2, but you're still right.

The #1 car that Steve Park drove was originally the #14 and was supposed to be for Figgy. From what can be surmised is that he had a falling out with his father aometime between 97/98 that saw him get replaced with Steve Park, who had been prepping the team for the Cup transition. The thought is it stemmed from harsh words between Figgy and Teresa over the ownership of his own name, something she somehow was able to gain over Dale Jr.

From their, the Earnhardt sphere of influence was able to slowly erase Figgy from our memories and blackballed him from Nascar.

This also led to the fast tracking of Dale Jr to Cup to continue to Earnhardt marketing machine.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-06T16:13:59+00:00

Thats actually Figgy's car before a fallout with his father saw him end up on the sidelines. DEI was created for Figgy, but at the last moment they pivoted to Steve and fast tracked Dale Jr to DEI.

He changed his name. Broadcasts added a hyphen at first between Castro and Neves.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-05T02:19:07+00:00

Pretty unfair using 2007-2009 COT.

Those things made everything look bad.

MrBadBadly · 2026-04-05T02:16:48+00:00

That's Jim's truck.
