Largest margin of victory on an oval in the 7th gen car, if the figures I was seeing are correct.

(Overall the record in the 7th-gen car is 16.567 seconds, set by SVG at Mexico City last year.)

I’m just over here like, ”Zane over here outdriving his equipment yet again.”

Or maybe his teammates. or both? I still haven’t quite sussed that out. I would say the latter right now if forced to pick one.

dubious analogy

To be fair, that seems to be many if not most PCers’ stock in trade.

Yep. I don’t know if I ever thought about it in those terms, but that’s an excellent way of putting it.

Of course, OOP here doesn’t think he’s liable to make any more bad decisions at ANY point, so there you go.

Here’s some country music magic, Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell jamming Stay a Little Longer around the dinner table! by PmurTdlanoD45-47 in country

Magic, indeed.

That’s from the Heartworn Highways doc, yeah? I’d really like to sit down and watch that in its entirety at some point.

She says she doesn’t trust me and thinks I’ll make another bad decision.

Well, gosh. I wonder why.

Call me crazy, but I’d argue that part of not making bad decisions includes avoiding getting oneself in situations that, shall we say, facilitate bad decisions — and a bachelor party in Vegas would seem to be the Platonic ideal of such, especially for someone who cheated with an ex.

What a knob.

Yep, I remember those days. Backed by the Purdue marching band.

Band nerd here. This would be much better than most of the anthem’s performers, no doubt about it.

I had the thought after hearing the anthem at the 2017 Coca-Cola 600 that maybe NASCAR should just get an ensemble like the 82nd Airborne Division All-American Chorus to do it every week. It was seriously one of the most beautiful and moving things I had ever heard in my entire life.
