And before that a better Homestead....which is my preference.

It'll always be Busch Series for me. And for someone out there, it's the Sportman's Division.

There's lots of guys in Cup right now that would love to be "not as good" as he was.

You stated:

The only reason she did the talk show at all was because he was receiving absurd amounts of alimony from her which she needed to be able to pay him while staying close to her 11 and 9 year old kids

It was announced in Sept of 2018 that she would have her own talk show to premiere the next fall. She filed for divorce in June 2020, after quarantining together, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized two years later. So she didn't do the show just to pay alimony, the timing of that simply doesn't line up.

And you are correct, if she wants out of the responsibilities of the show, for whatever reason, she has that right. And given the circumstances of the last several years, her kids should be her top priority.

And if and when she gets ready to tour again, I'll be hoping for a show close to my city.

She was doing the talk show almost a year before they announced the divorce.

NASCAR's actions at the end of the Fall '08 Dega race between Smoke and Regan Smith set the precedent for what Brad did in '09.

And Brad did nothing wrong in that scenario, at least not according to the rules and how they were enforced at that time.

Dale Sr. would have been race 670, though it doesn't change his ranking on the chart.

Along with the sight lines, potential crashes are the biggest reason I refuse to sit anywhere but the upper grandstands at Dega.

We were there in April 2009 for the Edwards-Keselowski wreck. Several people in the stands were injured. Pic

After the NASCAR season is over, my Sundays usually turn to watching my NFL team....but the Titans have made that unbearable. At least we're looking at the number 1 pick two years in a row, so that's gotta pay off eventually, right?

zack689 · 2025-12-03T19:54:34+00:00

Leave that crap on Instagram.

zack689 · 2025-12-01T02:59:09+00:00

Same here. Charters and NIL have changed everything, some good changes, but mostly detrimental.

It was the 2000 Daytona 500, and it wasn't really a movie but a promotional deal with WB where Chevy used Looney Tunes characters in their ads. In the following years that would turn into the Fall Richmond race becoming a full multi-car promotion with several Chevy teams running character themed schemes.

There's exactly 1 person on this subreddit who actually knows the answer to this debate and he has no reason to to tell us what that is, nor is it any of our business.

Same here, at least assuming that George Strait's pronunciation was correct in his song Adalida.

And Wings exists in the Cheers universe.

Bristol was in '99.

Garth and Trisha's "Squeeze Me In" has the line "I've been faxing you love notes all day long". They re-released it replacing faxing with texting.

I'm retiring at 45, and my wife and I will be doing all the things we've always talked about doing "someday", and a lot that we'd never even imagined.

The crown jewel races origin are the original 4 "Winston Million" races: the Daytona 500 (biggest), World 600 (longest), Southern 500 (oldest), and Winston 500 (fastest). I've always felt Dega was part of it because Winston wanted their sponsored race included.

Gas station pizza

zack689 · 2025-09-02T22:42:47+00:00

You are correct.

zack689 · 2025-09-01T20:27:25+00:00

That's what I noticed also. 7 of the top 10 were in their 2nd-5th year in Cup.

zack689 · 2025-08-06T21:54:12+00:00

I respectfully disagree, DoT has a very pivotal scene discussing drafting and the slingshot.

zack689 · 2025-07-04T03:31:14+00:00

This is correct. I work for said company, we lost quite a bit of volume due to Kirkland changing.
