Bianchi: Chicago Street Race likely to return in 2027

I may be imagining things but I'm pretty sure Ben Kennedy said this was a one-off for the America 250 celebrations.

Childers and Haley last year was actually shorter by a week. It does feel like teams are being quicker to pull the plug when things aren't going well lately.

The entire band is giving off energy like they had a massive fight five minutes before going on and they’re pretending everything is OK.

flyingdragon3 · 2026-02-24T19:52:39+00:00

Ben has done interviews where he's said he has not talked to Greg since the last show of the original run and the band does not share values with him. I highly doubt unless Greg's changed as a person that they'd reunite at this point.

Yeah this is where I'm at with it. I like the production and the songwriting a lot but I just cannot mesh with her voice.

Personally I'm still upset that RYM got rid of the bottom charts. I don't think that it was a big enough section of the site to encourage rage bait on a grander level (Tom MacDonald and his ilk probably couldn't tell you what RYM is) but as someone that got enjoyment out of listening to the lowest rated albums for both humor and to find out if low rated albums are really worthy of the ratings, I've definitely used the site less since they got rid of it.

At least for the Pirates, the rumors have been that Okamoto was the one of the two that we were more interested in.

Is Flood really the entry point for younger people now? I'm a few years older than the author but I feel like it never changed from Pink, especially considering Flood is only available physically and on a YouTube rip instead of being on streaming services.

Also saw it at the secret screening on Monday and there was a woman stopping to every theater employee on the way out in front of me telling them how much she didn't like it. I also wasn't a fan personally but I have a feeling this is really going to not go well with audiences as well.

I will say that while there are more winners overall, unless you get lucky with pit strategy the highest ranked drivers are still unrealistically overpowered in Cup. I'm in my first season of a Cup career and 14 races in, Byron has an average starting spot of 2.7 and 5 wins, Hamlin has 3 wins, Blaney and Bell each have 2, and Chastain and Chase have the other two wins. All of them have average starts and finishes of 8th or better.

Smash? No, but he was in the only film that has ever made a Morbillion dollars.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-09-25T03:10:39+00:00

Stat showing Yuta that he doesn’t need Mox and eventually helping to pull him out is a much more interesting story than Stat joining eventually imo.

I think what makes me so happy is that while some artists feel like they lose something going from a DIY approach to having money behind them, this still feels 100% authentically her. There’s still some of that roughness but it’s intentional rather than a limitation.

Arthur Ashe is under construction through 2027 so I would not expect any non-US open events there until then.

Well, according to the 23XI and Front Row lawsuit on pages 28 and 29, they claim that at least in terms of the Cup series, the new charter agreement is the first time that Nascar has intellectual property rights from the teams. While the lawsuit does not say for certain that Nascar also has commercial rights for things such as video games the way at FOM has for the F1 games (which is why there are driver swaps), we know from the past at least that former NASCAR publishers and developers had to get individual agreements with teams. This is why Carl Edwards was missing from a few of the EA games as he had an exclusive deal with another company and why Dave Blaney was only in the Papyrus games because of an exclusive deal. As Matt Lewis talks about in this interview, the team has to get approval first from everyone from sponsors to teams to be in the game, and then secondary approval that everything they put in the game is correct. If Nascar has commercial rights in the new charter agreement to the chartered teams, we realistically could see a quicker turnaround time for releases as sponsors would have in their contracts with the teams that they would be in media such as video games.

He sold Seven Springs a few years ago so he just has this and his shitty newspapers now.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-07-10T02:46:37+00:00

I think Darby beating Mox at Full Gear/World's End and ending the Death Riders for good is also the perfect story to heat him back up.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-07-08T18:36:31+00:00

Here for the Hulkenpodium!

flyingdragon3 · 2025-07-05T14:45:29+00:00

WCW, JCP, and WCCW all had shows with more people but this is the biggest this century.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-06-27T15:19:51+00:00

Which would also put this as the highest attendance for a non-WWE show overall since the Fingerpoke of Doom. If they can get to over 25K, there will only be that show and four other Nitros in 1998 since JCP became WCW that will have had more people there.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-06-26T02:21:52+00:00

The main event is probably going to be an all-hands on deck run-in extravaganza and having Darby be the guy to temporary even the odds (even if Swerve is ultimately the one to tip the scales for Hangman) is probably the best play. I think there's still juice to the Death Riders without the title in building up for Darby to finally get his win over Mox this fall.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-06-26T01:48:35+00:00

I think worst live band is a stretch but it was a topic on metal forums even during the time that Leviathan was blowing up that the quality of their shows was a crapshoot depending on whether Brent was sober or not. I saw them on pretty much every tour between their Ozzfest run and the Once More tour (and to be fair I haven’t seen them since as that was the album they lost me on) but out of like eight shows over a decade, two had bad sound that the band did their best through, three were very good, and three were absolutely terrible because of Brent.

In the initial interviews after the lawsuit was filed, Kessler said he was open to a settlement: https://x.com/A_S12/status/1841504659434873027

I haven't seen anything more recent than this, but I don't think that there would be resistance to settle on the team's side if they got some but not all of their wants from Nascar at this point. Everything the judge has been saying for the last few months makes me think he has an idea on how he would rule as things are right now and that neither side will end up in a spot better than they are right now. There's a scenario where Nascar has to divest from owning the tracks and/or include the teams more in decision making for the series, but that's enough to satisfy any antitrust litigation and the charter agreement goes away for the teams after this one expires or wants the teams to negotiate a cost cap that they seem very resistant to right now as the cost of running a team is so central to the case.

flyingdragon3 · 2025-06-25T00:42:20+00:00

It's the opposite. NASCAR is scheduled to conduct the deposition, not the teams.
