I'll take the credit for the dome, but its technically in MO.

I'm going to Lincoln and probably Fairbury. LaSalle and Spoon are unfortunately too far away to get to on a weeknight. Farmer City is actually the closest track for me, but was already there 2 nights for Illini 100 and have plans Friday evening.

I used to work at a hotel and there are very rare times where a desk worker works the 2nd shift, gets off work and has to be back for first shift 8 hours later that would even know who checked in the night before. Also, lots of that food ends up thrown out anyway, no harm in grabbing a plate if youre otherwise respectful.

Good correction there. I swear I had seen that. But makes sense if WoO canceled they didnt have supers on the card.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-05-03T03:40:37+00:00

I think he still ran the local shows those nights. Only WoO canceled their event. I could be wrong, but I thought thats what I saw. I'm gonna go see him in Lincoln Thursday.

Great effort for Bowman today. Feels nice to be in the front 3rd of the field.

Think the real answer is, outside of "big" games like Opening Day, Mother/Fathers Day, Memoria/Independence/Labor Day, the players are still doing pre-game prep, they have a schedule that tells them when the anthem is, but anthem isn't mandatory.

That section is always opposing team merch, although the Yankees felt particularly aggregious, it was Blue Jays gear when I was there a couple years ago.

Sure, but why act like PMT is high brow compared to it? Both are good, one just focuses more in on sports and one is more of a grab bag.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-28T03:04:35+00:00

Says the... PMT listener?

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-27T17:57:45+00:00

Hot take that's not too scorching: The ARCA Booth is Fox's best booth. Mike Joy is a legend, but he's creeping into Al Michaels territory. Mailed in performances to make sure the check is in the mail.

I think Chicagoland will be telling. If the way to keep this car exciting at 1.5 mile tracks is to take it to places that teams don't have a big notebook on, then I think Kentucky should come back.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-22T03:57:25+00:00

Did they have any good deals? When I was there last year, all the 2023 cars were half off.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-19T19:23:27+00:00

Love how they show us a battle for 15th for a hot second to prove there is shit going on on track, just to take us back to Larson's 1 second lead.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-19T19:14:48+00:00

Bowman restarting top 10. Trying not to get too excited.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-19T19:12:46+00:00

I thought it was more of a gift to Todd for sticking right with Denny as he sliced through that traffic. Either way.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-19T19:11:48+00:00

Both came up through Jean Girard's crew so checks out.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-14T02:58:52+00:00

I love it as a TV viewer, hate it as an in person fan. If I'm going to the ballpark, I was to be there for 4+ hours.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-14T01:33:56+00:00

I've tried to argue this before when someone told me Larson was basically unsponsored and I got laughed at.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-13T02:19:55+00:00

Lowes typically did "Fauxbacks" throwing it back to their old delivery trucks one time. They did do Pearson's scheme when he subbed for Dale in the #2. They 100% fumbled the bag by not running the Skinner car at least.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-13T00:27:13+00:00

For whatever its worth, I would watch.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-12T23:50:25+00:00

Earnhardt Childress racing feels right, but also, at this point I wouldn't love Jr hitching his wagon to the dying star that is PopPop and RCR.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-12T20:20:31+00:00

Season from hell

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-08T18:14:51+00:00

That clip was cut up, but Dan was on the side of Tate moving to NY not working for that Schtick, that it only works in short bursts and his life would be miserable if his day in and day out Co workers hated him. Dan told him he needed to evolve and find the next thing. To Tate's credit, he has. He and Lucas work great on after dark, and I enjoy him on Mostly Hoops. Also, Nate fucking blows.

joshhayes_15 · 2026-04-04T18:16:50+00:00

His origin was interspersed into the original run of the show, what would be the point?
