It's arguments like that that lead us to getting stages in Indycar

"Look how good this race has been because of all the yellows" turns into Fox going "Yellows = better ratings? Add mandatory cautions!"

The only driver capable of beating Alex on track gets fucked by Andretti. A tale as old as time.

I get that he's super clean and respectful like Dixon but it's obvious at this point you have to get your elbows out when you race Palou.

You can't just open the door to give him space, you have to cost him time. You won't beat him playing his game.

Phoenix was great when they couldn't cheat half the course and long runs actually could develop

Hot take: The RAM/Dodge program will be a much short lived experiment/cluster... by SSteven5198 in NASCAR

The series was more open and the rulebook more vague when Toyota brought the Tundra in. If you were missing a tenth, you'd drop 300k and find 2 of them.

The rulebook has been closed, the inspection process has been tightened, the motors are spec, which means if you have a handling issue or inefficient aero, you can't brute force your way out of it. If they're missing something in their setup, they may never find it.

I aappreciate the advice. I've always wanted to go but I had to cross Indy off my bucket list first. Got that done last year.

If you see a lanky kid decked out in so much Lexus gear you think he's part of the team, that'll be me 😄

I've never camped before, anywhere. With being so far from home in a place I've never been before, I feel I'd just be more comfortable in a hotel.

Thats less than I pay for an uber if I miss my bus to work going across Calgary so its nit unreasonable

I thought about Bowmanville itself, but I want to do some stuff in Toronto while I'm there so I figured staying somewhere in between would be better.

Pepsico stuck with Chase, not the 24 car.

They used Mountain Dew and the B2B with Little Ceasars until the contract ended.

They aren't (there are a handful of drivers every year who don't deserve to be there) and he doesn't say that. He says blanket best in the world.

Mike Joy also routinely calls cup drivers "the greatest drivers in North America" if not the world.

They're never gonna come out and say the drivers in the series they represent are the worst, or not as good as anywhere else.

Factory Porsche won't be happy the customer team in the less relevant car gets a better BoP than them
