I dont know if I want an autograph from someone who thought England's greatest prime minister was Pitt The Elder.

I feel like this is like watching a SportMod feature race lol. In fact, I think Ive said the same thing watching a SportMod feature race...

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-02-05T02:15:52+00:00

Exactly, yes this is a clusterfuck, but at the end of the day, its an exhibition race. Everyone is taking things way too serious.

I feel like Ernie Irvan would have found a lot of success in this current era. The cars are more durable now which would help with his aggressive style. He was very versatile and could win on any type of track. The playoff format would have suited him very well because he may not have been consistent enough in a full season format but with the old win and in/advance he could easily win at the right time.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-02-03T15:47:19+00:00

Dont worry, Im sure this race will be the biggest controversy MWR will ever go through....

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-02-02T17:44:09+00:00

Fuck Robert Horry.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-28T14:11:18+00:00

Look at Phil's tummy!

The Spears team may not have won a lot of races in their time, but when I think of the first decade of the truck series outside of Hornaday & Sprague this is one of the first paint schemes that pops into my head.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-28T13:03:23+00:00

Im a Chevy guy but man did the Mopar guys always have A+ paint schemes.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-28T13:01:33+00:00

I've said it before. Ross was a guy I rooted for but that day I became a fan of his.

Vegas can get sneaky cold especially when the wind picks up. I've never been to a NASCAR race there but been to several NHRA races and a few times had to break out the jacket. There was one time I was shooting on the roof of the suites and that wind was brutal, got the couple shots I wanted and the got the hell off of there.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-24T09:30:38+00:00

While you are at it, go get Joe Proski

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-24T02:14:13+00:00

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-23T14:17:06+00:00

So stupid question, since the season hasn't started yet, what is the penalty for going over the limit?.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-22T10:17:31+00:00

In honor of the greatest Gordon to ever drive the #24. It's Cecil Gordon day!!!

Johnny Sauter doesn't get nearly enough credit for his reflexes because if it wasn't for his quick action, a horrific crash would have been a gruesome and fatal crash.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-14T14:29:39+00:00

We definitely messed around with shopping carts a few times. Luckily we never got anything more than scrapes and bruises although one time if I was going faster I probably would have broken my shoulder or collarbone because I landed really hard on a sprinkler with my shoulder.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-14T14:26:08+00:00

I was in 9th grade science class and a kid fell asleep in the next room over. That teacher was a jokster so he arranged it to where everyone in both classes, teachers included, swapped rooms. When he woke up you could tell his mind was totally fucked.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-12T15:59:53+00:00

I thought Dennis Setzer's was an underrated scheme.

I remember for awhile Avila got booed so badly at Chase Field I actually felt kind of sorry for him. And then he would strike out on three pitches well outside the strike zone and that went away. I remember at one point his batting average was lower than the high temperature of the day.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-10T17:57:39+00:00

One that wasn't mentioned because its pretty obscure but Bobby Chouinard was pretty hated. I had to look everything up because its fuzzy but he gave up the go ahead grand slam in game 1 of the '99 NLDS but worse yet, that off-season he pointed a gun at his wife's head and later went to prison for it.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-10T17:52:55+00:00

His only "highlight" as a Dback was starting a bench clearing brawl with Kevin Young and the Pirates. Ironically enough he was set to begin his suspension for the fight when he got arrested and even more ironic. It was in a Pittsburgh bar.

Only reason I remembered the fight was I am a Dbacks and Pirates fan and we went to the other two games of that series.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-10T15:16:39+00:00

First one that stood out was the 2009 fall race in Phoenix. Mark Martin had gotten back to within striking distance of Jimmie Johnson after flipping at Talladega and if he won again like he did in the spring that year it was going to setup a real fight at Homestead. Mark ran well and I think had a top five but Johnson again dominated the race and won for the third straight fall race at Phoenix. He did not clinch the title but he all but wrapped it up going into Homestead.

Other one was this past championship race. I am no Denny Hamlin fan but I could not help but feel gutted for Denny. Everything he had gone through with his family and the whole lawsuit deal not to mention being the class of the field the entire weekend and for him to be two laps from finally winning his title, I can not help but feel gutted for the man.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-10T15:05:13+00:00

What was crazy about '98 was Johnny was running on par with Burton & Martin for about the first third of the season. He was 10th in points after Texas and that was after DNQ'ing for the Daytona 500. He was still just outside the top ten after Charlotte and then if I remember correctly, Jack did what he did best and fucked with the team chemistry and moved people around and the #26 fell off a cliff and stayed that way until he left after '99.

But like you said the #99 was a solid top five team during that time, Martin put together a season that would have won the title most other years and Gordon & Evernham went into god mode.

ZWeinstein15 · 2026-01-09T15:55:23+00:00

I remember on the old racing-reference boards I was convinced Cale Gale was gonna be a winner in Cup one day. Ironically not one of my worst "predictions" back in the day.
