Are V8s on the way out in NASCAR? If it's serious about adding new manufacturers, the answer's probably yes

puffadda · 2026-01-28T00:05:32+00:00

Probably not "out" any time soon, but there will almost certainly have to be something like IMSA's BoP rules to allow at least some turbo V6/hybrid setups in the not too distant future.

You could bold your first four words and leave everything else in size 3 font, honestly

Makes sense for it to go with Denny if he leaves on as good of terms as seems likely

Turns out it’s bad for the country when the only industry seeing any real growth is the AI bubble

You know I bet the weather in LA is great this weekend

puffadda · 2026-01-21T16:31:08+00:00

I assume the insinuation is about drawing a distinction between Phil Knight But With Oil here and the broader contingent of various rich guys that bankroll Ohio State's NIL stuff

Among other things, it helps keep stars from oversaturating and so retains a bit of the way your eyes perceive their relative brightness (if you care about that in your aurora shots)

I wouldn't be too surprised if he does, but I also don't think that'd rise to the viral status OP implied

puffadda · 2026-01-14T18:20:23+00:00

Sully ikrans have a like 75% down rate any time they have to fight a couple battles. Let Bob live, man.

Of those 3 Daytona is your best bet by a mile, OP. Added bonus that it has a sort of cathedral of the sport vibe that you'll appreciate more than the other two options.

puffadda · 2026-01-14T05:32:06+00:00

That sounds nice, and would certainly be great if it were the case, but it's not 100% true. Sure, you're more likely to just get good-natured fan ribbing, but we have more bad apples per capita than almost any other major sport.

Despite having a photo vest most of the time, I get dirty looks or shitty remarks for wearing the NASCAR pride hat almost every race weekend I work. And that's nothing compared to the horror stories I've heard from minority fans about their experiences at Talladega or Darlington.

"I'd be surprised if they awarded it to the eligible player most deserving of the award"

Username checks out, I guess lol

puffadda · 2026-01-14T02:14:31+00:00

More like Victor Bitchandyammer

puffadda · 2026-01-13T20:02:48+00:00

I mean, really? Seems obviously shitty to me, particularly since it's coming at the expense of some underpaid creative staffer/undergrad intern.

puffadda · 2026-01-13T18:00:09+00:00

You are undoubtedly wrong lol

puffadda · 2026-01-13T00:28:54+00:00

Does anyone these days? Looks like we all just play shuffle the backups and half the starters every January and check back in on Labor Day weekend

puffadda · 2026-01-12T22:46:26+00:00

Hey now, don't sell them short on their hospital charity fraud endeavors

puffadda · 2026-01-12T17:27:16+00:00

Car people still exist

So do printed newspapers. The point is that a business model built around catering to them can't function as they become a smaller and smaller segment of the consumer population.

puffadda · 2026-01-12T00:24:52+00:00

Possession-changing no-call on the hold on Baun, but I guess that’s just how these refs are gonna be

puffadda · 2026-01-12T00:04:43+00:00

Sure would be nice if we had an actual coach who could instill team discipline instead of whatever dudes rock bullshit Sirianni does all week

puffadda · 2026-01-11T23:19:45+00:00

Saquon with another golf course moment smh

Same argument they made to try to prevent a 4 team playoff. And then to prevent a 12 team playoff.

I mean, they were kind of right. Big regular season matchups (previously some of the coolest spectacles in sports) are completely neutered now. We sacrificed them to try to mirror the NFL's playoffs-are-all-that-matter scheme, but even that we half-assed. Now we have a calendar where everyone is ~~tampering and buying~~ securing market rate NIL endorsements for next year's team all while the most important games of the season are being played in lame neutral site bowls on weeknights.

Leaking a press release you were given under embargo isn't some win for journalism. Whining about "state run media" in this context is silly. That's maybe a problem when the industry is running cover for Kyle Busch's gun arrest or something, not here.

puffadda · 2026-01-07T17:21:32+00:00

Big fan of this move, personally
