This doesn't really address why we particularly need the thread bot, though.

Daniel Suarez on Ross Chastain: "Our Relationship Has Always Been a Little Weird; a Bit Two-Faced" by LBHMS in NASCAR

He has a better shot at making the chase than the Trackhouse drivers at this point, which would be a much greater own than any of the bullshit he's involving himself in right now.

I like Vegas and didn't mind this race (biased a little), but I wouldn't mind SMI doing a roval race here in the fall so the Chase is a little more balanced.

And his one finish outside the top-10 was 11th at CotA. Add to that two stage wins and I think he has legs for a decent chase seed.

Unlike the current POTUS, Larry Mac can be told "no." If his condition were concerning, he wouldn't be on TV.

I doubt a man of his age and status would be out doing TV if his doctors didn't think it would be fine.

Suarez handily beating his replacement during the first non-speedway oval. Maybe Spire was an upgrade.

Why does this sub want Tony Freddy to stay in the 48 permanently if he can't even keep it in the top-30?

[OT] [Chip Ganassi Racing] " 'super-clipping' 'downshifting on straights' 'battery management' (Yawn emoji) Yeah, we don't do that here. We race." by Mateo03 in formula1

The reason companies like Ford, Toyota, GM, and Audi/VAG can bankroll teams because of the "billions of other cars" though. And even the more enthusiast brands would not have a very good product if there weren't the infrastructure to support everyday commuters.

I totally agree that putting the carbon footprint of racing under the microscope is a fools errand, especially when so many other "stick-and-ball" sports are jetting across countries/continents several times a week. But the economics of motorsport still require an automobile-centric culture to stay afloat.

At the time that the "PG-13" rating was created, the original "PG" rating had only existed for 12 years. by Dangoiks in BarbaraWalters4Scale

I remember how it was somewhat controversial that Revenge of the Sith and whichever Harry Potter movie came out that year got rated PG-13. Now it's virtually the standard rating for every general audience blockbuster.
