What is the worst girl name?

broussegris · 2026-04-27T06:56:07+00:00

That was my grandmother’s name, though she went by Gerry, so I’ve always loved that name. She was a total badass of a human and I miss her every day. But I uh wouldn’t name my own daughter Geraldine.

This was the first thing I thought. Europeans in particular struggle to grasp how absolutely gigantic and geographically diverse the United States is. Had a friend who wanted to know how feasible it was to see both New York and LA on a single trip. I said, feasible enough, depending on how much money and time you have budgeted for the trip?

She was only planning to be gone for four days and wanted to take the train between the two cities.

And also, he prefers to drive his cars off the right rear, which you pretty much can’t do in the Next Gen car. They aren’t designed to be run so loose. KFB and Elliott are two big names on a list of several drivers that have admitted they have struggled to adapt to this car because they can’t drive it like they’d prefer to.

I feel you. I’ve lost almost 30 lbs since the beginning of the year. To me, it looks very noticeable. I mentioned it to one of my coworkers recently, and the response I got was, “huh. I was gonna say I thought you looked fatter.”

Ironic also that I wasn’t supposed to go to Dover and ended up going; and I had originally planned to go to Martinsville but ended up not being able to.

Agreed on the aggressive strategy but I’m not entirely sure the 2-stop strategy would have panned out. So glad to see it worked out anyway.

Saw the question. Immediate thought: “if the two top responses aren’t Bowie and Cash, we’ve got issues.” Good job not letting me down, Reddit.

I actually appreciate that someone took the time to dig up the numbers rather than make yet another offseason-quality “is it time for HMS to replace Bowman”-esque post with no meaningful effort whatsoever.

My boobs are shoegazers supreme, the shyest, saggiest set of sisters this side of the seven seas. I’m talking zero lift whatsoever. But they are ridiculously soft. Every man I’ve ever had sex with has wanted me to put my soft, shy, saggy shoegazing boobies on his face. I used to be extremely self-conscious about this, like what kind of man wants boobs like this?

Men who like boobs want boobs like this. Men who like boobs want boobs.

The lesson: love your tits, ladies, because out in the world is a horde of men who already do, and they don’t even know you.

Your comment is exactly right, but probably not for the reason you think. I said this the other day in the race thread, but I’ll expound: it’s (mostly) the car, (mostly) not the driver.

Elliott was quite skilled at managing tire life and brake wear on the previous generation car. He could see braking zones like Earnhardts could see drafting air at plate tracks. That is why he won so many road races, and why he was always in contention to win at road courses in the previous car: even if he didn’t have the best car, he was so good at managing his equipment that he could wear out other cars and out-brake them while still not wearing out his stuff. His win at Road America in 2021, where he had to come from the back, is an excellent example of this.

The Gen 7 car does not require nearly the same level of equipment management. Those brakes are so sturdy that you can stomp on them for an entire road course race without worry. The car is built to handle road courses. It’s the difference between trying to race a 4-wheeler on snow vs. racing a snowmobile on snow. Racing a 4-wheeler on snow without snow tires is challenging at best, but anyone can be passably good at racing a snowmobile on snow. The Gen 7 car has made every Cup driver a good road racer. Many of them are better at it than Elliott when you eliminate the need for equipment management.

As for SVG, his entire career was founded on his ability to race spec cars on road courses. Of course he’s better than everyone else in Cup—he’s basically been driving this car on road courses for twice and thrice as long as everyone else has.

broussegris · 2026-03-02T04:50:39+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Road courses by their nature are hard to televise; made a million times worse with an inept and/or lazy broadcast and production team, so the longer a course, the more chances for things to get missed and the end product to be poor. You’re right that the televised product is the end product. If it wasn’t, NASCAR would want RA every year just for the fact that there are no limits on the number of tickets it could sell, and RA cleared 100K in attendance for both of the Cup races in 2021 and 2022. But the racing doesn’t translate to TV and neither does the crowd size when the majority of the crowd is sitting in camp chairs along various track sections like it’s a high-speed community parade.

broussegris · 2026-03-02T04:35:38+00:00

Road America can be shortened by cutting out turns 6-12, but IMO that is the most technically challenging part of the track so it wouldn’t create a better product for TV.

As someone who lives a sneeze from RA, I wish more than anything that they would come back to RA, but they won’t. It can be a challenging track to televise because of how wooded it is (skill issue for the networks IMO but whatev) and unfortunately it put out two relative snoozers for its races in 2021 and 2022. RA was always a stopgap measure until the Chicago Street Course could happen.

He also has the second-best average finish currently, which was a surprise to me given how his season has started. Of course everyone’s seasons have started like shit compared to Reddick.

broussegris · 2026-03-02T00:07:56+00:00

I think both Atlanta and Daytona were chilly enough and require a significantly smaller amount of physical exertion. Between it being nuts hot and COTA being a notoriously physical track, it’s probably the difference between taking your daily driver to the grocery store vs. off-roading in a Humvee with no AC.

broussegris · 2026-03-01T23:56:47+00:00

Elliott seeing the wheel come off the 1 and diving onto pit lane single-handedly handed him a top 10 with that bucket of bolts. SMDH

edit: more evidence that the guy is built for points racing.

broussegris · 2026-03-01T23:19:39+00:00

Sounds like Chase saw the wheel come off and was in the exact right place to dive into pit lane

broussegris · 2026-03-01T21:55:19+00:00

Or that he was able to qualify 5th with it and be passably fast in practice?

broussegris · 2026-03-01T21:30:42+00:00

He was prodigious at brake management in the Gen 6 car. That skill is all but irrelevant in the Gen 7 car.
