A NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chase Opinion- And It Isn't A Pretty One

Current NASCAR

I think NASCAR has been going downhill ever since they allowed Toyota to enter their races.

The King speaks bluntly.......

Stock Car Racing History

It's refreshing to see someone in the NASCAR family speak the TRUTH instead of what NASCAR wants them to say.My hats off to Richard and Kyle on saying what they really feel about Danica's driving ability.

"Daytona Rising" = Rising Sun

Just another reason not to go to orwatch any NASCAR races run at Daytona.

A Racing History Minute - April 10, 1971

Stock Car Racing History

Thank you Jeff for supplying us with this video! I have watched it now for two times this weekend and I enjoyed it very , very much. You may be on to something here. Every Sunday maybe SCRR should have a video of race from years past available to watch instead of the junk that's passed off as stock car racing today. This might be an avenue to get people back into watching racing that have been turned off by what is available today. And if enough people watch maybe it would build up to a critical mass that NASCAR might see this andreturn to its roots and produce a product that we could all be proud of. This is probably a pipe dream of a old man past his prime and not living in today's world, but a dream never less.

What was your favorite track growing up and why?

General

My favorite track growing up was New Asheville Speedway. It was a tight little bull-ring of a racetrack thatmade for some great racing. Also,some of the best Late Model racers made that their home track. When drivers like Bob Pressley,Harry Gant,Tommy Houstan,Morgan Shepard,Roy Trantham,Ned Setzer, Bosco Lowe,and Jack Ingram could be there on any given night it made for some great racing.Jack Ingram's garage was right beside the race track,so he would just throw his jack and tools inside his race car and driveit over to the track.I saw some amazing races "down by the river" on Friday nights. One time I saw Ned Setzer hold off Bosco Lowe off for 5 laps to win a race on just 3 wheels!

Thank you Dave. It's memories,even the one's that pull at our heart,like these that we love to here about.

Should Richard Childress Be Punished for Punching Kyle Busch?

Current NASCAR

I think it was.I really don't think violence isnesesary.But I doappreciate that the matter was handled in the infield after the race,and not on pit road (DARLINGTON). If there is going to an altercation,do iteither in the infield(man to man) or on the back streach(car to car), away from everybody,(so no bystanders will be hurt). That would be thebetter way to handle it.

GREAT ANTICIPATION FOR THE ELOQUENT EXPLANATION

General

Since D.W. is Kyle's P.R. man he will be apologizing for him and also telling everyone to "give this poor young man a break".

Remember Tim, all D.W. and Larry Mac like to do is here themselves speak. Of the 3 in the booth,Mike Joy is the only believable one.
