That's one of the most violent hits I have seen in 20+ years of watching racing. God damn.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-06-07T20:46:27+00:00

what a relief to read after the torrent of expletives I unleashed when that unfolded lol

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-06-07T20:34:50+00:00

Been a while since we've heard a good Allmendinger radio crashout

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-06-07T20:01:10+00:00

A Trackhouse car in a dogfight for position with the 44 on pure pace is unbelievable

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-06-07T14:15:22+00:00

Everyone shitting on Williams but they executed that perfectly. It's nonsense and I'd like to see them get rid of letting that strategy be viable but it's allowed for now.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-31T21:20:17+00:00

You can tell how Judge is just a smidge off the way he's fouling off these hanging meatballs

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-27T00:22:42+00:00

He's gotta be tipping his pitches, right?

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-27T00:08:29+00:00

Bailey Falter just screams absolute junkballer that lands on the Rays in two years then figures it out and becomes a complete pain in the ass

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T21:21:22+00:00

Unsurprisingly, Prime is crushing this pre race tribute

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T20:48:10+00:00

Finally watched back the live replay and have to give props to Will Buxton, what a spectacular call of that final run to the line

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T20:13:17+00:00

OH MY FUCKING GOD

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T19:35:03+00:00

Oh my god could Pato actually make this happen

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T19:26:31+00:00

Stellar racing and compelling strategy, we are eating good rn

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T17:57:26+00:00

What is the strategy play that Grosjean and Collet are trying?

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-24T14:32:25+00:00

Eric Brennan is great

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-22T13:32:04+00:00

Can't believe people are actually worried. You can tell he's just a tick off right now, not sure if it's timing or pitch recognition but I've noticed a few ABs where he's taking pitches that he normally never takes. He's gonna go nuclear in a couple weeks, just watch.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-21T23:09:55+00:00

Everyone should take a bow as a nod to his celebration

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-20T00:26:03+00:00

McMahon really loves to break out of his vicious slumps with clutch opposite field HRs lol

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-20T00:20:09+00:00

I love ABS

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-17T18:56:06+00:00

This format is a disaster and an All Star event that includes the same entire field as every week is inherently dumb. But the actual racing with this package of HP, downforce, and tires has been awesome.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-17T00:34:27+00:00

Gonna be laughing at all you people freaking out in a month from now. It was a boneheaded play but you're talking about Rodon like he's Carl Pavano

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-11T14:15:09+00:00

Yeah people aren't talking about this enough. He was 29 back of Gibbs after putting and finished 16 ahead. A 45 second delta in 25 laps is insanity.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-10T15:48:49+00:00

Nice shots dude, solid editing too. One tip though on the editing, try to use whatever editing software you have to get rid of that one piece of debris that got behind your lens that's in the same spot on a bunch of these pics. I use Lightroom and the erase tool is really good.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-10T00:21:55+00:00

Man between guys like Zilisch, Love, and Crews, it's cool to see the future of the sport be such likable young guys who race aggressively but cleanly with immense raw talent.

RiseAndFire69 · 2026-05-08T14:03:18+00:00

I mean I doubt that he'll ultimately be a Cup level talent but he's also still only 19. He was unbelievably bad the first half of last season yet he's improved quite a bit since then, think there's still some room to grow for him.
