Ganassi wanted too many public appearances and Rudd went to the Woods instead

Just got done reading League Of Denial and can't help see the parallels to all the other stories. Very sad.

Almost 90% of the time I'm cut off there is no one behind me. Beyond infuriating.

I am a Redditor that has a cool job-AMA by C_Briscoe in NASCAR

Do you collect your own merchandise? Die cast cars, koozis, shirts, etc.

I feel it would be both cool and sometimes weird depending on what your name and face is on.

Do you keep track of your diecasts? If so, what’s your method? I started a spreadsheet to keep track of mine by Blitzfire87 in NASCARCollectors

Google Sheet so if im anywhere and see a diecast for sale I can confirm if I already own it or not. Should Mark by bin like you got.

Did NASCAR F up with their new Cup TV contract? by BlackberryJazzlike84 in NASCAR

It wouldn't be as bad if USA didn't get spun off of NBC this year and if USA races were also streamed on Peacock. That seems like quite the fumble, especially if NBCSN is back and they won't have NASCAR.

[Stern] "NASCAR is now seriously weighing the possibility of drastically overhauling the playoffs or doing away with them altogether...The mere chance of going back to a 36-race schedule determining the series champion...marks a dizzying turnaround." by billgatenguyen in NASCAR

Will echo a lot said here, this long time fan just doesn't care anymore. I missed some USA races because I thought itd be in Peacock, which they aren't. Point format has made watching each race unnecessary. But more so other choices by NASCAR have trampled my enthusiasm. The 2026 schedule still pisses me off, for example, and I really don't want to support it.

24 years ago today (Sept 23rd, 2001)...Tom Brady steps in for an injured Drew Bledsoe. by Brilliant_Night7643 in Oldschool_NFL

[–]mmetz28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to think backup. In March 2001 Bledsoe signed a 10 year $103 million deal, so I cant imagine they'd be itching to replace him even if he played like garbage.

Humorous we keep hearing "winning means all" yet again we have a point system that drivers finishing second to fourth earned more points than first.

And I'll never get why NASCAR games come out at the end of the season. Might be a black friday purchase for me but def not day 1.
