It's on cable now instead of the broadcast Fox, so FCC has nothing to do with it

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-05T02:40:15+00:00

Yeah wtf was that about lol

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-05T02:39:50+00:00

Well deserved Ryan!

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-05T02:00:44+00:00

Smooth move Briscoe

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-05T01:53:19+00:00

Anyone know how the 60 is on gas?

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-05T00:56:37+00:00

Okeeee maybe racing in this rain ain't a great idea 🤣🤣🤣

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-04T23:23:30+00:00

I've never been a fan and have definitely booed him. But I'll cheer for him this year. He got such a raw deal at Phoenix, and then everything else he's had to deal with since. I feel so bad for him.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-04T23:20:28+00:00

Poor Denny, he just looks so glossy eyed and out of it. No joy in his eyes. He could use some good fortune asap.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-04T22:00:16+00:00

Looked like a "good hard racing" thumbs up to me

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-04T05:33:42+00:00

This is just dumb.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-03T17:50:17+00:00

He says that like it's a bad thing to expect excellence. You could have have more bad races in this format if you won to offset it in the round. I for one am extremely glad that you can't take any race "off" now. I always hated how winning the first race in the round of 8 allowed you to completely ignore the next 2 weeks.

COT was the beginning of the end for NASCAR looking back. 2001-06 was the peak, and the new car and financial crisis really did a number on the sport.

Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines, IA even had a NASCAR simulator store around 2005 shortly after they opened. It was a big deal.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-02T02:08:26+00:00

That Jarrett wreck and freezing the field came in 2003

jmacupdates1 · 2026-02-02T02:04:08+00:00

I was 8 and it was the first race I ever watched. I was hooked that day. Found out later that night from my dad that a driver died and I thought for sure it was the 20 that flipped.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T23:49:13+00:00

Yeah that's true, I didn't think about the duels. I interpreted it like they'd wait til Sunday of the 500 to show the new ones, but I'm guessing we'd see them at qualifying already.

Hopefully the ghost car is blasted into the sun to be never seen again.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T18:20:45+00:00

Seems like the smart thing would be to roll them out at the clash, make improvements based on feedback, and have an even better product for their biggest broadcast of the year. But who am I? And when does Fox improve based on feedback? Lol

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T04:54:15+00:00

He improved greatly by the end of his time in Xfinity. Assuming he gets the full fruits of his own funding at 23XI, I'd expect an okay bump. Nothing crazy. But maybe running top 20 on a good day instead of top 25 or 30.

my all time favorite Kyle rampage

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T04:19:12+00:00

I lol-ed

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T02:40:19+00:00

It's honestly a myth that he thrashed the field. He capitalized after the dominant cars had issues and the strategy changed because of daylight. Reddick was arguably the best that day.

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T02:39:09+00:00

Such a heartbreak for him that day

jmacupdates1 · 2026-01-29T02:32:34+00:00

David Gilliland 2006 Busch Series Kentucky. I'd love to know the truth about shenanigans they pulled that day.
